The horrors I've seen made in Excel still give me nightmares to this day. It's low barrier to entry is both a blessing and it's curse. But at any level this can be said of any tool under the sun ...

Let's just hope this does not become the 'Excel' of the ML space. Then anyone will start 'coding' some godawful models and use them in critical day to day infrastructure ... Don't get me wrong, I'm all for

Is this advice for employees? Or VC's? I've NEVER had to do this for any of the jobs in my 20+ years as a software developer ... but there are some interesting points indeed.

Really appreciate your feedback, I'll certainly look into your claims in the next few days. What's your background? Have you 'been' in ML long? Feel free to give me as much details as you feel comfortable with. Thanks!

Please note I wrote 'Logistic Regression' and not 'Linear Regression' (as you seem to think). Logistic Regression based classification (with quadratic theta parameters) would seem to certainly be able to handle the carte

I started taking the Coursera ML class. Reading this article, something jumped at me: https://datadotblog.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Screen-Shot-... It mentions how it's 'impossible' to separate th

Simple, yet addictive. Great work! Watch out for the red block ... took me some time to realize it's a 'bad' block which subtracts from your score when touched.

OK, so the fact that it isn't (yet) supported by Linux completely invalidates the concept? I've heard of Linux zealots, but this is something else..

Maybe being a little bit too cynic, but markets need consumers to 'renew' their products. Otherwise, how can you have never ending growth and capitalist wealth. It's all tied together, pre-planned obsolescence comes with our

Being on the software engineering side of things, I do not trivialize the design aspect. However, it's very rare that an 'engineering' type person will also have the 'ux/ui/designer' chops. We don't n

It seems to me Canada is doing this for it's southern neighbor. Wondering if the fact that Huawei is putting a lot a pressure on American companies (by competing with them) is part of this?

Was watching an ESPN doc about professional athletes that had earned a lot of money and suddenly became rich. These people usually came from low income (broken) families and had no idea how to manage this sudden financial change. One of the

There are rules and incentives in the 'Academia' game. Among important things: get published, get cited, get your name out there. I am cynically inclined to think the 'system' fosters this, and some people have gotten go

Real question: why is WPF worth contributing to, if it can't be made cross-platform? I've used WPF for about a day, and I never went back to using it. Not 'hating' on it, I just want to understand WPF and the incentives

The amount of focus a person engaging too much in social media can cause this despair. Not saying it's Instagram's/FB/Tweeter's fault, but comparing yourself hourly to the 'fairy tales' out there can break

This article makes me think of some people who are the only one laughing at their own jokes at parties. If you have to tell me you're funny/smart/successful you probably aren't. This article is quite self-serving.

My experience using Skype on all types of connections (Cable,Fibre) and broad range of devices (High-End PCs) was always very bad (pre and post MS). We've used it both personally and in business environment, and it was always very diff

Please remember that Skype was bought by MS for 8.5 Billion (yes, crappy Skype). Of course it was bought for it's prevalence and big existing audience(i'm guessing). Certainly not for it's great UI/UX and Communication c

Isn't this what happens in SF an SV? Big tech money certainly 'disrupted' the local housing market to name only that facet of the economy and social life. So the article is right about the local disruption, but who are they t

They are not 'programme'-ing anything. They are tagging images and labeling objects in those same images. They 'sweatshopped' the whole image tagging industry to 3rd world countries.

Creative directors and other Artists in video games (my experience) tend to like to 'stamp' the visuals of a game with a certain aesthetic, from their own inspiration. Generating 3D models (offline, not in game) would be a great s
