This is my belief too. I think if you can buy and hold for the next 5 years or so, massive volatility doesn't affect you. Volatility affects the day traders and the like. To draw a parallel to the stock market is not appropriate, but t

Thanks, I'm trying to institutionalize this and was wondering what would be a good Christmas bonus. 250$ was my ballpark.

But don't the managers take the required estimates from engineers and plan accordingly ? Unless there is a strong deadline set by the market or by the customers.

I don't get the "9 to 5 wouldn't make you a great engineer" As an experienced engineering manager this is what I've come across - Some of the engineers who put a 9 to 5 clause, are usually the obstinate engineers, w

The NIH guys also did a study that said that even in tropical countries, Vitamin D absorption has fallen dramatically because of lifestyle changes. One of the probable factors is the lust for fair skin. I routinely see people covered from h

And for people who wanted it to settle immediately or treat it like cash, they could make a direct transfer, , and have it clear on the order of minutes. Can you please elaborate on this a bit more. What is direct transfer and how is it dif

Actually, I've found Xcode to be a very easily usable prototyping tool for C++. I haven't used it in any large project, but it's super simple to just prototype some concepts. Having that in a browser is even better.

Ok these were regular land images (I think at 10m resolution) which had some text descriptions on the images. We deemed the text to be confidential enough not to outsource. Def, not spy satellite stuff :)

I should clarify, we didn't use satellites directly, we just used the images given by a third party.

If we could run the economy on blockchain, why not? One potential obstruction to this is probably the speed of transaction confirmation. I believe it takes about an hour for a transaction to be confirmed. If we equate that to a current fiat

I'll be interested in understanding the technical safeguards as well, since I am breaking my head on how to do this. One of my projects was about doing OCR on some confidential satellite images and we didn't want to outsource the

Unlike Tesla, Spacex is not a threat to any other publicly traded company AFAIK. So the barrage of negativity will be minimal. For every incompetent investor who comes on board, you'll have a great investor who'll trust you. This

I am one of those guys. I don't really understand the value of pinterest. So a drop in performance made my exit far easier. I am probably not their target user.

One of the primary factors that enabled Google to stay great was their ability to crawl and index the ever growing web at a rate no other company could.

True, I would love for some alternatives such as plaidml. However, I can't seem to fathom that Plaidml will be a worthy alternative to lets say Tensorflow or Pytorch or Caffe. I hope I am proven wrong.

This is what many people outside the AI world don’t seem to understand. Nvidia has a stranglehold in the form of CUDA and Cudnn. There isn’t any open source equivalent to Cudnn. AMD is trying to push OpenCl in this direction but it will be

When weight is a concern, try not using the carry on bags with wheels. Those bags themselves weigh about 6-7 lbs and the telescopic handle takes up space inside the bag. I use the Amazon basics carryon or the more expensive Patagonia MLC 45

I am no expert, but extracting data related to the word influence from IMDB for Tarantino (or any actor/director) is quite doable. Even by employing rudimentary NLP techniques using NLTK and Freebase/wordnet APIs I can gather all

I think you have the option of taking the test in Java, C++ or Python. I hadn't heard of the C# option. Thank you for mentioning the same.

It's a very comfortable position, but not for the cervical spine. I just had an injury that according to the doc was because of this posture. I don't believe it though. Anyways, try not to sit in this position for long durations.

In cities like Bangalore, getting self-leased office space for an early stage startup is a nightmare. Either you have to take up individual houses converted as offices (borderline illegal) or you have to settle for crappy office spaces in g

True, but some believe that population growth has to stabilise at some point.

Are you implying that human population could ultimately decline, because of AI and automation ? If so, why is that undesirable.

If the program controls the users, and the developer controls the program, then the program is an instrument of unjust power. I'd modify this statement as the program can potentially be an instrument of unjust power. I like to believe

Adam, sorry guess I was not clear. What I said was that the MS Sql server + R strategy of baking in ML in PLSQL is appalling and doing something like what you are doing with DL4J is perhaps the right approach. The multi GPU support rant was

But what if your training logic needs a change in ETL - You have to iterate on ETL too. So doing it inline makes a lot of sense. Microsoft has done something like this with SQL server + R offering. Personally I find the MS approach quite a
