I think the black-box nature or argument of deep learning lies in the fact of its parameters, not the architecture. Sure, the operations of deep learning, what they do is defined ahead-of-time, but together we still miss the point why it wo

U don't have to believe anyone. But if u believe in math, then even with this U-6 metric, it is back to 2007 level. Meaning this U-6 metric is not really an indicator diverging from the official claim either.

U-6 is close to prior Great Recession too, according to the chart.

I think the speculation about WeChat is overblown. Wechat is essentially important, however, it is not, even it tries hard to be, an OS yet. And very opposite to what people in the West would think, iOS has one big advantage, that is the pr

Don't forget that China has biggest and most competitive smartphone market in the world, both in specs and price. iPhone is kinda underwhelming in the past year.

To be honest, while Japan's achievement is impressive, Western Europe enjoys the same level of revitalization thanks to pretty much the same reasons, which I see as an indicator that Japan's success is not that special during the

So something written in Haskell is news now?

Aren't they both just bundle of function objects + states?

Yeah, no one is trying to get emotional to say goodbye, and this article is useless.

Nahh, to this point they are even too lazy to lie to cover it up. It is just simply I-can-fuck-up-so-what situation right now. Ridiculous

Sadly yet luckily, no one really do handwriting Chinese anymore these days, with exception of their own signatures.

Do they? If yes, it doesn't matter it is Trump that takes action against them, it is the right thing to do.

Well if you cannot stay in US, going to Canada is better than nothing. Trump says it all.

The random access performance is IMPRESSIVE! It is going to bring a storm in DB landscape, since now we probably don't need to force to use data structure that tailored to perform with sequential writes, but all the other data structur

H1B actually is visa that is easier to change jobs, compare with other visa like L1 which is tied to the employer. But u might be right that foreign worker are indeed in general more insecure about their job, thus might stick with the same

Well highly skilled not doesn't mean the job is not repetitive. In case of Microsoft, why would a local fails to an alien in such case, if they are both qualified? I cannot think of a reason why corporate would go straightly prefer ali

by ganfortran 9y ago
Well, they are paying their employee good money, which is one way to justify the use of H1B, the really high skilled worker, at least in terms of market value. Companies like Tata and Infosys are the real problems here, not only for locals,

Big business loves censorship, they go straight demands it if not offered, look at the Youtube boycott that is happening right now. They are surely not fan of FOSS or freedom of speech.

by ganfortran 10y ago
I don't think so. In my recent memory, people boycott StarBucks because of its CEO's words on hiring refugees. They also went on to boycott Ivanka Trump's product, because a Trump is a Trump. Outrage culture is the norm in so

Moore's law has long lost its initial indicative power, that implies the actual computing performance goes linearly with the number transistors we have on the chip, and became merely a marketing strategy. Now it is time that marketing
