"RNNCell objects now subclass tf.layers.Layer. The strictness described in the TensorFlow 1.1 release is gone: The first time an RNNCell is used, it caches its scope. All future uses of the RNNCell will reuse variables from that same s

I hunt elk and this is not surprising at all. They are quite aware of the hunting seasons and the boundaries of hunting areas and they have completely different behaviors around those transitions. They will graze openly on hillsides in abun

The NRA represents a lot more people than you think, even on this board. I've never been a member but reading your comments reminds me that I ought to purchase a membership and donate today. My grandfather, father, mother, and myself h

I'm reminded of the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect - how we are constantly surprised when the media gets crucial details (which we are personally familiar with) so very wrong in their reporting. http://www.patheos.com/blogs&#

I find a great diminishing of my anxiety the more I read history books and biographies of figures who were involved in the tumult of their times. It's great for contextualizing the world today and accepting its ebb and flow beyond my c

I remember back on BitcoinTalk in 2014 or so when this cropped up, there were people reporting they initiated a withdrawal and their external bank account was credited or debited multiple times with the exact same amount. It wasn't jus

This is great. I've always thought intelligence can only be defined as an emergent property of self-replicating systems operating under stress, and this provides a good framework for that "stress".

What percentage of your problems do you end up solving either with rubber ducky debugging or just in the process of explaining them to someone else? I feel like 80% of the things I can't figure out on my own are solved once I start to

I haven't been in such a workplace but I wish that I would have. Would you use "rubber ducky debugging as a service" - like a chat service that stimulated you to find your own solutions?

I agree with that, you are completely taken out of your actual context, or at least I am. I used to game really heavily during a pretty terrible period (divorce + grad school) in an attempt to cope. Of course it actually just made things wo

Great word. It's interesting how my desire to game has almost entirely disappeared since I left there and started a new company. I'm sitting here building deep learning rigs with fat GPUs, I could just add another partition runnin

Video games become the sole source of agency in many people's lives. This isn't just for the unemployed, but also for folks stuck in a job where they feel like they lack control. I couldn't understand at first why my fellow G

Look at the flipside - for the people who want to focus on applications of ML instead of futzing with platforms and implementations this sort of environment is a godsend. Compare what it took to keep a server/website/database up i

Waymo is going to win because of (1) better sensors and (2) better onboard computing power. Other companies can potentially compete in the former domain but literally no one in the world can go toe-to-toe with Waymo and siblings in the latt
