One of my main reasons for sticking with an AppleTV instead of switching to a Roku is that Roku also does this, but Apple has a stronger stand on privacy.

Ah true, they're just billed as Amazon Originals in the UK. I think The Expanse is going to be Amazon all the way down from season 4, though.

In Bruges is a fantastic comparison for Patriot. Thanks for that, I've been looking for a good point of reference.

I can't say about Apple (though they really haven't made a start), but Amazon already have some really good stuff. American Gods, Preacher, now The Expanse, and I'm really enjoying Patriot.

Have you looked at fast.ai's ML course? It might also be worth a try. http://forums.fast.ai/t/another-treat-early-access-to-intro-... I'd also recommend the Andrew Ng Coursera course, which I talked about her

Could you clarify what you mean by "the criticism of the data structure"? I don't entirely follow your meaning, but I suspect there might be something in the post I need to update/clarify.

Hi, Nick here. That's really interesting. I have another 2000-ish word length part two* I'm hoping to put out around the end of the week with some ideas for others things to try. Most of my ideas for next steps revolved around twe

It would mean they were actively at war with the tech press, which seems… unlikely.

It’s not so much the widgets as it is the actual look and feel. Neither scrolling nor text rendering is quite right. I wrote a post to that effect here: https://harveynick.com/2018/05/21/an-ios-developers-op

Your assumption was pretty reasonable based on the public information. Honestly I’d love to talk about how Google does source control/ code review etc. because it’s actually pretty interesting at this point. You know... for some values

Does Google use hg? “Yes and no. It’s complicated.” You can’t read anything into that?

Back then perceptrons (single neurons with engineered feature inputs) were a lot closer to cutting edge than they are now. As for why Matlab was used a lot: because it comes "batteries included", I suspect. Probably the same reaso

Ironic reply. Sincere apologies if you can't derive any information from my comment, but that doesn't mean there isn't any there.

Yes and no. The answer is actually quite complicated... and I have no idea if I'm allowed to talk about it publically or not.

Are you considering doing a foreign year, or your whole degree in Edinburgh? I can only speak for my current employer (Google), who look very favourably on degrees from Edinburgh. It's one of the four UK universities we recruit from di

Me too. I'm guessing they'll hear the word "perceptron" less than I did. Probably less Matlab and Prolog will be taught as well. I can't remember whether the Semantic Web course was CS or AI, but I suspect that won&

It's a little more complicated than I made it sound above. 50% of my curriculum was courses from CS department, the other 50% courses from the AI department. It was actually possible to do AI without doing CS at all, though. There we
