There is a C++/Cuda library with a python frontend that I am starting to play with that is from one of the guys who works with Hinton. It is written by Alex Krizhevsky and has lots of tools for training feed forward networks with lots of d

Deep belief networks are extremely powerful, we are finally getting to the point where we don't need to do tons of feature engineering to make useful complex classifiers. Used to be you would have to spend a ton of time doing data analysis

Perhaps, perhaps not. I think it is hard to make generalization given that YC and Techstars have not funded many solo founders. I think going solo is multiple times as hard, but sometimes that increased burn motivates people in strange wa

I'll second that, I guess I'm biased as I wrote some early gnome stuff back in the day before I started writing graphics device drivers for Precision Insight and VA Linux systems. I rather like glib, even though the gpointer thing isn't so

Nice article. One thing you should talk about in my opinion are systems like Redis. Redis can be used as a generalized key value store, but it can also be used as a messaging platform. In fact many systems like Storm (which would be anoth

My point is the whole process needs to be taken into consideration when talking about performance and runtime complexity. If you just use the address of an object for the hash, that has a implication to performance. If you choose a crypto

Just my two cents, Well hash tables might be O(1), but depending on the circumstance they are used in, how they handle collisions, implementation details and the quality of the hashing algorithm they can see real world performance that is n

Just my two cents, I don't know if I agree with the concept that there is a bubble that is just waiting to burst, but I think focusing on the core of how you will make money is totally key to any startup's success. In my mind, you need to f

One thing that I like about Widom-Larsen theory is that it attempts to reason about possible quantum effects that could cause different sorts of reactions then fusion. While I was a tike back when Pons and Fleischmann were doing their expe

I'm going to disagree with you on that the best companies tend not to pivot. I think there are lots of companies that pivot in such a seamless way that externally it all looks very planned. I also probably consider more things a pivot the

Depends on the place and where the H1-B is from. I have seen situations where H1-B works make half of the American worker. One tactic I have seen is that the American companies tend to basically lock in the workers by paying legal fees an

Absolutely horrible state of affairs, I understand that because of the economic incentive that this will and does happen all the time. I feel that the only way to stop this is to take away the economic incentive to hire foreign workers. If

I think it is very very important to not ignore traction boosting activities early on. It is very important to build a brand, get users engaged, and have people ready to try out your product when it launches. I think one thing that the ar

I think one of the problems with it not being true open source is that they are selling a commercial version @ the microsoft store for 14,950. I suspect this is why they choose this license. I'd be interested if they would provide differen

Maybe this isn't the best article, but this is definitely a conversation worth having. I'm sure this would not come as a surprise to any of us here. Most of the technical people here do things that make these sorts of things possible. I a

I really think that is the takeaway that I got from the post as well. You become what you put your effort into, no amount of schooling is useful without the desire and drive to really make someone successful. While many of us here don't a
