Very interesting. They are baking auto differentiation/gradient computation directly into the compiler ? How will this be work, since you invoke TF and TF computes gradients (at least on the loss functions) using Python/C++ from f

Yeah, the 'best' care is needed mostly for critical life threatening situations and for emergency situations such as accidents/fire etc. If one were to see the relief camps or first aid offered during war, it becomes pretty

Isn't this primarily on Android ? Am quite certain no app can monitor your location in the background on iOS. Regardless What pisses me off is FB not providing evidence to the contrary, that they don't harvest data in the bqckgrou

I concur, as an immigrant who lived in NYC for a couple of months, not once I felt like a foreigner. Some other cities in the US where I've absolutely never felt like a foreigner - Bay area, Portland, Seattle and Vancouver BC. Surprisi

How do you mean ? From what I've observe all fake reviews tend to fall into a pattern. Usually a mix of broken sentences and hyperbole. I find the positive fake review patterns far simpler to detect than the negative review patterns. N

Starting strength is a good book to learn about barbell squats. Pretty simple to understand and the postures are mostly based on angles w.r.t joints.

Tim Roughgarden is a fantastic teacher. I personally love his style and speed. He throws in some humor here and there and makes learning a lot of fun. His lectures on graphs are absolutely brilliant. This same course is available on Courser

Some of the recent developments in Bangalore are heading in this direction. Mixed use is absolutely one of the better approaches to provide a good lifestyle to people. The sad drawback is that you get isolated and will lose the belongingnes

While I don't have any direct benefits to enlist, I'm sure there are multiple indirect benefits. I come here, when I am lost without knowing what to do. I'm one of those who reads the comments first and then the articles. So

Reminds me of this article, about how a single reward could potentially destroy humanity. It's just a thought experiment though. https://www.salon.com/2014/08/17/our_weird_robot_apocalypse_...

but the DRL framework encompasses all the standard classification/regression tasks and also includes decision making Except labelling data, correct ? which is non trivial effort.

I think the point he makes is that RL doesn't work as the world believes it to. RL is seen as the holy grail for AGI. He is saying that isn't the case, at least as of yet since RL algorithms don't generalize. For all other ta

Many times, markets and business dictate time pressure. So yes, this is very real in startups at least. Like for instance, an inevitable market development might want you to ship code by the next week, however improbable or impossible. I kn

I can vouch for this. A simple 2 hour script turned into a 2 day affair since production quality code was expected. Thankfully the assignment was spread over two weeks.

This applies not just to clothes, but shoes as well. Buy a good pair of shoes and they will last you a lifetime. 300$ for a pair of Allen Edmonds seems like a lot but they'll last for 3 years of daily wear at the very least, and then t

+1 I bought a couple of Uniqlo active t-shirts. Man, are they good despite being cheap at 20$ a pop. Wear them for running, office or even under a blazer. Super convenient. Only downside - it's made of polyester, feels great on the ski

The other annoying new feature in Twitter is the notifications for missed tweets or summaries. I mean, there is a reason I've missed those tweets. I don't want to be taken into the past. If I need to, I'll scroll a hundred ti

Perhaps they are more internally-focused? Yep, I am flummoxed by people who don't seem to be bothered by chores. One of my friends said she enjoyed doing the dishes. Something beyond my understanding drives them. Much better to start f

I think there is more nuance to meaning and happiness. The process of attaining meaning, in my view, is torturous. Think of any field - sports, theater. I don't think any athlete or sportsperson would call the process of attaining mean

I think mapping roads is a real world problem. But for a few urban areas, maps are rarely updated. Of course Google has some sort of monopoly here, but there is a LOT of work to be done. Planet labs now have the ability to map the entire pl

+1 for the Google object detection API. The trained model is quite huge though. 200 MB based on Resnet faster R-CNN. There are creative ways of chunking this model to keep it small.

Tensorflow's eager execution might challenge Pytorch. I for one love the imperative style of Pytorch but I also realize the advantages of pre-computed graph style of TF, especially when it comes to distribution. Interesting times!
