When people say "there is no choice" it usually means there is a choice. A better way to have the discussion is to avoid the binary framing and talk about the tradeoffs. Here is one key tradeoff I see: the App Store brings more vi

Can you clarify what you mean by "not useful for anything"? "Anything" tends to be a rather strong modifier.

Well said. These parts are striking to me: > In an era of weaponized sensitivity, participation in public discourse is growing so perilous, so fraught with the danger of being caught out for using the wrong word or failing to uphold the

My projects involve a blend of fast CPU and GPU, so I decided to build a fast system recently with 1 GeForce GTX 1080, a fast Intel Core i7, and 128 GB of RAM. I'll install another GTX 1080 soon. I found that the new Titans are hard t

The blog post author (Daniel Emaasit) wasn't the first to use the "model-based machine learning" phrase. He cites "Model-based machine learning" by Christopher M. Bishop.

I tend to not be convinced by self-improvement recommendations that aren't explicitly tailored to specific people and their personalities. There are so many variables in play! Here's how I would theorize about the problem of self-

Hmmm. I wouldn't define a great "team" as dysfunctional. Some might point to "high-performing" teams and say something like "well, their results are good even if the tensions are high." To that, I would re

I'd add this: if you are lucky, your team starts with good levels of rapport, trust, and open communication. If not, I'd recommend putting consistent effort into growing those -- which can happen a little at a time. I might even r

I'd like to see Apple and other mobile phone companies to actively build functionality to screen calls that works all the time -- whether or not I have enabled "Do Not Disturb". I never want (nor need) a telemarketer call.

To me, the article missed the point. The central claim of the article is: "I actually think it’s time we abandon data portals altogether." I didn't find any compelling argumentation to support this claim. The author mentioned
