Liquid sugar also has more calories than plant fibers; it's a bit of a strange comparison. Many of the details people focus on are second order effects, and I have yet evidence to see that calorie in minus calorie out is a bad model fo

I haven't seen interviewing for integrity discussed much and seems like it would be an interesting component. Can you expand more on how to interview for integrity and what those tests might be?

I don't know anyone outside of tech or medicine bringing in 200k for the household. It looks like that would put you in the top 5% of income, squarely outside of the norm: http://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge&#x2F

You would have a higher effective fee, 0.14% vs 0.10% if you had an equal split between VOO and VWO. That said, I think there is healthy skepticism with the world funds in terms of their ability to reduce risk considering so much correlatio

Perhaps that author was being pendantic, but from an information theroetic perspective it is correct that you cannot invent information with upscaling. The upscaled image does not have more information than what was in the original image; y

Current GPUs are not SIMD. They are classic examples of MIMD (multiple instruction multiple data), with multiple concurrent processing units. SIMD is common in vector processing units, but GPUs do more than that at this point. https:/

Uber bought Otto, an autonomous vehicle startup that was created by many of the Google X car folks. I think Uber is doing fine.

That's a little bit of a misdirection. They certainly learned a lot about how to build their models and what data is important, and this results in more effective training.

The brain doesn't do floating point operations. You're trying to compare apples to oranges.

The PDF [0] is a bit of a grab bag and not as nicely organized as I would have expected from the past landscapes they've produced. It's likely this coming from a less technical perspective but roboadvisors like Betterment or Wealt

I believe the parent was referring to having an ensemble of models with different trained networks can reduce variance and perhaps avoid issues like these. Attention, localized gain, etc would not have this effect, but they tend to allow a

It's not. For example, the eye has much higher dynamic range than any camera sensor available today. Try taking a picture at night that looks half as decent as it does in your head.

The paper seems to mainly compare iterators vs lambdas. This seems like a bit of a strawman; the best use of lambdas is beyond iterators. For example, consider callback heavy asynchronous code. A promise library with lambdas is much easier

Smarter devices. Better voice recognition, smarter cameras, smarter cars, perhaps smarter medical devices. The GPU is hard to beat for training purposes unless you're Google scale, but not acceptable for some of these lower power infer

Are there any peer reviewed (or not) evidence that the keto diet provides additional weight losses beyond that which can be explained by calorie deficiencies?

This is pretty neat. But is it just me or does the dog picture look better in JPEG? When zoomed in, the JPEG artifacts are quite apparent and the RNN produces a much smoother image. However, to my eye when zoomed out the high frequency &quo

With sensor fusion incorporating signals about position and velocity from devices like accelerometers, optical flow, lidar, and magnetometers, you can get better precision than the GPS alone and this is common to do in practice.

GPUs have worse performance per watt than a tuned FPGA. Some newer FPGAs can have 400 megabits of on chip RAM - that's huge, significantly larger than the 128-256k cache typically available on chip for a GPU that turns into big energy

What specifically is the lie here? That they report average view time without trivial views? That seems like a more useful metric. You also can't really directly compare these simple metrics across sites as they don't get at custo

When an impression isnt made (say 50% in view for 1 second) then no one is getting billed. This is the standard practice for internet advertising. As far as I know Facebook does the same thing. I haven't read the Facebook advertising d
