   Apply for jobs is way easier than candidacy and comps, not to mention a dissertation. I stopped after my masters, bought a house, and had 2 phd candidate friends move in with me (we live in a city with a university). They tried to tell me

   I've wondered this for years. I got a nice job at a University Research Lab. I have lots of creative freedom, can write grants, and am well funded. Most of my colleages are Phds yet most of our customers assume I do. I did an honor

   I need to track tasks over several members of a team.

   Can you use this to find out how much a person is tasked?

   What updates can we expect to see in Keras of the next year?

   by ipunchghosts 11y ago

   I use Keras daily and find it very easy to use. It provides a nice set of examples to learn how to use it. Its also very easy to access the theano/tensorflow backend in a generic way. Keep up the great work!

   This is probably the 3rd "replacement" for JPEG I have seen on HN in the last few years. None of these formats have been supported by common browsers. When will this stuff start making its way to the desktop?

    Your usecase doesnt seem like HDF5 would be a good fit. Yes, I do know about docx and zip. I'm happy with what matlab has done. People send me .mat files and I happily process them in python. And my plots usually look much nicer also

    This is true, but anything can happen while futzing with a file. Our method is to make a copy of the file with a .tmp extension, make your mods, then rename the file and delete the old one. HDF5 was never intended be be a container used to

    Agreed, HDF could benefit from journaling. I have to ask though, why not just make a cached file of your data and onces its done, integrate into the final HDF file?

    Filesystems are the worst! Try telling a customer to tar up a directory and send it to you -- things get lost so easily! Most of our customers dont even know what "tar" means. I think you are asking for trouble going with a file

    FYI, HDFView is not the only viewer in town. its also really easy to write a viewer in python using matplotlib.

    Reading all these comments that bash HDF5 makes me want to tell how HDF5 has really worked for my group. Although the spec is huge, there is plenty of sample code online to get it working. You do actually have to read it though to underst

    I sit a few buildings down from Cindy's office and have also been studying colormaps quite a bit in the last 3 years. Its interesting how many plotting packages get this wrong but are finally catching up. I switched from Matlab to Pyt
