I worked at a mid-size startup where all of the customer-facing people were ex-finance---I was consistently amazed by the stuff they did in Excel using just pivot tables, rudimentary graphing, and (VBA? I don't think you could use Pyth

As I was reading this I was thinking "uh oh, here comes the techno-utopian nonsense", but then I got to the "few hundred years" part. Yup, sounds about right. Cheers to dialectics.

This. As a PM, this is great for communicating tradeoffs to clients and senior management. As a dev, this is great for communicating tradeoffs to PMs. And conservative estimates of development time (e.g., the dev doubles the time estimate)

One thing that is holding me back in numpy is not knowing the runtime complexity of operations—of course I can profile code, but I should have better awareness when writing code in the first place. Without an algorithms background, I don&#x

Given that this is a thread on regulation of cryptocurrencies, can someone explain to me what is good (for countries, societies, the global economy, etc. and not individuals) about cryptocurrencies? I get that blockchains are useful for rec

Reminds me of Hida Tool in Berkeley, CA... the best description I can manage is that it is a hardware store that only sells sharp things from Japan: knives, chisels, saws, planes, scissors, etc. I find it totally fascinating that there&#x27

I'd love to see an analysis of the sorts of situations that the advanced systems can't handle. Driving in Mexico City last month I was appreciating how intensively interpersonal driving was: it seemed all drivers were constantly c

NLTK tutorials are interesting for the absolute basics in Python, e.g. http://www.nltk.org/book/ch01.html . The field has moved into advanced Bayesian and neural methods, but NLTK still has a use in pre-processing and t

One of the first things I noticed using FlightRadar24 and similar services is that there are a ton of 747s in US airspace used for cargo, many owned by relatively small firms.

This is incorrect. Researchers have sophisticated models backed by large amounts of data which they use to develop predictions. While there is uncertainty in specifics regarding weather patterns, this does not mean that we don't have s

What do you mean by better? More communicatively efficient? Less ambiguous? Easier to learn? No NN has developed human-like domain general facility with language, but even without doing that we can think about how variants of existing natur

I don't know of systematic research on this but it's consistent with what I've seen in the fields I've worked in (linguistics, psychology, geochemistry). The AlphaGo paper was special because it's a super-hot high-p
