Cold showers have helped me. I've already had a reasonably good immune system though. I am on the weird side and probably take 2-5 cold showers a day though. If I feel a little off, I'll take Vitamin C and Lysine as early preventi

I'm not quite sure if I really agree with the premise of this article. This isn't some type of Uber vs. Lyft analogy. WeWork dwarfs all the other coworking spaces. Customers aren't going to leave WeWork because they fear it g

One founder of RenTech studied under Geoffrey Hinton (some call father of deep learning). This was before DL was known outside of Toronto. RenTech is also known for hiring/poaching almost everyone from a former IBM voice research team.

That was interesting! Considering this article was based in 2015 (which feels like forever in startup years). Decided to look up the points. # max(market_cap, enterprise_value) || most_recent_private_valuation Uber - 50bn Palantir - 10bn Sp

There isn't as much of a legal risk, but it's definitely mitigated. In addition, the feedback they gave is now written. What if the founder lacks social etiquette and tweets "VC Y said my idea sucks because Z [some charged to

No one will ever see this self pep talk, but posting on HN and finding no one cares about your project makes me quite sad. Just have to pick your head up and continue.

I built writeup.ai to learn more about machine learning. I underestimated the amount of time it would take (thought 1 month, took 3, classic 3x off) ... alas, the feature creep of my judgement was hard to manage. I learned WAY more about de

Sort of another spin on this I've been tinkering on, but haven't felt quite ready for a full launch yet ... I'm still trying to converge the research models, but this has been a bit difficult. https://writeup.ai -

One of the major benefits of TF 2.0 is apparently the capability to quickly deploy to TPU units with a single parameter change. (I haven't tried it, just followed the marketing). AFAIK, This is still being worked on PyTorch via XLA, bu
