Most good Valley firms will defer fees for startups given a good referral. As for getting that referral, spend two years working in Silicon Valley and you won't have a problem.

For state of the art work "a day or two" is pretty fast for a production network, and that's on one or more big GPUs. Not using CUDA is definitely a dealbreaker for any kind of real deep learning beyond the mnist tutorials.

Whether it's a consumer sale (sign up via web and get an API key) I do not know, but if you have a compelling use I'm sure you can get access by talking to humans. In terms of what you can use it for, I know people have built appl

Hold on hold on. This is a big swarm of satellites and (I assume) a forthcoming API and the comments are "the scrolling sucks"? They could have used tables and comic sans for all I care. This is awesome. Though Planet Labs will a

This is bringing back memories of Allaire HomeSite and my early days of HTML and PHP and CSS and Flash. ColdFusion is really still around?!

Where do you think cancer comes from? Hint: all kinds of things, but some are caused by viruses. No one really cares about HPV other than the fact that it tends to cause cervical cancer, so I don't think it's cheating to call that

I'm pretty sure BLM means open for drones... It's national parks that are off limits. BLM is the "everything else" of US land and in general has the most relaxed rules. Like, you can land a plane anywhere on a dry BLM la

Seriously though, you don't get it both ways. There's been this backlash against startups paying below market on the promise of equity, so then many startups in reality do start paying at or above market, and then people are still

Wow, the current B&N CEO's resume reads like a hit list of terrible projects: Sears, Brookstone, Best Buy, Toys R Us. I'd be really curious to know the decision making that goes into hiring someone like that to run B&N. It

Pretty sure Google Translate is not a Markov model at this point; pretty sure it's a deep recurrent network.

While I generally agree with your comment, I think the one big advantage of private companies over academia is that they're typically much less resource constrained. Academic labs sometimes take huge shortcuts on cost with strange side

I like Lightroom + Lightroom Mobile (which has automatic sync). When it syncs to my computer it gets into Dropbox, but a creative cloud subscription will have Adobe back things up for you too. Not free, but I put value on my photos and am g

At the time, those were very questionable assets. We don't remember how close both Tesla and SpaceX came to failing. Had those not worked out, Elon really would have lost all his money.

Way more common than you think it is. It's less that their biomedical experience is valued particularly highly as it is that they're on the engineering pay scale now, and Google is paying very high prices for good engineers at the

Google is paying a lot more than $50k - $90k for new PhD grads. I've had a couple offers declined - at what I thought was market or above market! - to Google Life Sciences in the last six months: recent PhDs, engineering bents, $180k -

I'm actually a big fan of this idea. As a private pilot, I'm excited about a lot of cool possibilities enabled by drones that aren't possible in manned aircraft (high speed, low-level FPV racing!) or are made better (package

My problem isn't that the feature engineering is expensive or tedious, it's that it's privileging a lot of information that NNs learn from the data. Yeah ok, Markov models (n-grams) are simple and fast and produce good resul

Fun hack. If anything, it highlights how compelling deep learning and RNNs are: no messing with NLP, no messing with building other features or adding up classifiers, etc. The manual feature engineering means it might work better on a smal
