I haven't read a single book in 2016, something for which I hold Hacker News greatly to blame. I have read a good number of Hacker News book suggestion threads mind, and in turn a lot of Amazon reviews, usually up until the first unfav

That's only because those with contempt for the mundane hold sway on the connotation of the word, essentially "of the world", and therefore quite rightly more fascinating than any of the airy fairy arty farty nonsense favoure

I'm not seeing that in the FAQ. In my reading it pointedly leaves open the possibility of incurring AWS egress charges when transferring to LightSail.

This is all very well, but where are they in the night sky is what I would like to know. And no I'm not expecting to see them, just to think about them in the right direction.

> Apparently 'cyber' has become a byword for 'cyber security'. I hope that this does not last. I wouldn't get your hopes up, from the people who brought you forensic (i.e. legal) as a byword for science.

Thanks very much. If anyone else is interested I can confirm that the Bitfusion Boost Ubuntu 14 Torch 7 AMI on a g2.2xlarge instance does offer a relatively painless way to get going with this, although I couldn't get the python image

I'm interested in having a play. As an out and out ML newbie, is there such a thing as an AWS image I could run on a GPU instance and then just git clone and go?

The fact that you use extra fuel when coasting isn't enough to make it less efficient, you'd have to be using less extra fuel than the extra fuel you would otherwise have to use to replace the benefit you extract from your potenti

The fact that the pipes are evenly spaced doesn't make horizontal distance go away, their distance is still a variable at each flap decision. What does make the distance irrelevant is that the holes are high enough to safely flap whils

For those wondering .000000001% per what? The answer apparently is per object year. i.e. you could expect to lose 10 bytes of your 1TB every year if your stored it as a trillion one byte objects, but if you stored it as a single object you
