   I lived in San Francisco from 2011 - 2016 then moved to Pittsburgh, PA for a job opportunity. This past August, I went back to SF for a team building activity and I was blown away by how many fewer homeless people there were on the streets

   This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was listening to Kara Swishers interview with Elon Musk[1] and he touched on lots of physics related concepts related to all of his companies. The interview made me want to learn mor

   I'm extremely curious watching the progress of the Vision Fund. Softbank already announced a second 100B fund of which Saudi Arabia is contributing 45B, but we've been in an extremely bearish market. What's going to happen d

    I came here to say the same thing :). It's probably also easier to train using CreateML, but if you already know how to use TensorFlow then you don't really need to use CreateML.

    This is so wild, I'm thinking back to 2005-2007 when people were doing everything possible to get on Facebook. Waiting for Facebook to open up to their school or network so they could sign up and start updating their profile. Now the

    And now they need to deliver the cars. I have two colleagues who are waiting for their cars. Apparently the deliver process (which Elon noted on Twitter) is pretty hectic right now.
