   I only skimmed over the article, but I think the title on HN does not reflect the claims the authors are making. The title of the paper is: A generative vision model that trains with high data efficiency and breaks text-based CAPTCHAs The t

   Suing the daughter? I think many people will not think bad for the engineer getting fired, but I doubt suing the daughter would be worth the damage in reputation such a lawsuit would cost.

   It's not quite clear to me what kind of features you have to "reduce isolation"? Also, how easy is it to integrate an existing web page design into labit?

   A nice beginner friendly book about Probabilistic Programming is the book by Avi Pfeffer: "Practical Probabilistic Programming" (published by Manning). The only downside of the book is that it used Pfeffer's own Scala library

   It seems like "arbitrary" notation is also a problem in other fields of mathematics such as Linear Algebra - perhaps depending on the background of the author in math or CS. In Linear Algebra every text book has their own favorite

   If you want to learn about this stuff but need a more gentler introduction, check out Robert van de Geijn's MOOC at http://www.ulaff.net (if there is currently no session, just download the lecture notes and use those, they

    You might enjoy doing some work for a charity such as AgileVentures ( http://www.agileventures.org ) to learn about real world programming. If you are interested in a job (or internship) at Google or Microsoft, you can never study

    I love the story about a group of American car manufacturer executives visiting factories of Japanese car manufacturers in the 80's. After returning to the US they were asked about their visit and they remarked that the Japanese did no

    Thanks for the links! It seems like you can already browse the lecture videos of the first three courses!

    It seems like this course also includes a lot of practical knowledge about deep learning, as it to be expected of Andrew Ng - who is writing the applied book "Machine Learning Yearning"

    Seems like the first three courses are opening on August 15th (but you can already preview the first week), the other two do not seem to have a start date available yet.

    It seems like in that field you can use some of your knowledge of system programming. Overflow and underflow happens a lot with the big data volumes you face. Another systems programming topic discussed in most big data courses is floating

    Thanks for sharing this, it seems like a lot of interesting material is being discussed. The audience seems to be more like the hacker news visitor than the average student though, as it feels like little hand holding is provided. I've

    I can't agree with all of the author's opinions, though I have lived in Japan for only three years and I don't live in Tokyo. For me the experience has been positive until now. I have met some of the kindest people in the wor

    I don't know how the math works, but ACM members currently get free access to Safari. You can sign up for ACM for $99 a year.

    Instead of buying the book, why not get Safari (the website, not the browser) and read that book plus many more? And if you are an ACM member you already have access to it through http://learning.acm.org

    Here in Japan it's very common to take naps during the day. Personally I don't take naps but I try to take enough rest during the night. Taking naps during the day might actually hurt your ability to sleep in the evening. https:&
