Even though you specifically say you are willing to go full blown PhD and are interested in digging deep on algorithms etc. I strongly recommend working through "Practical Deep Learning for Coders" course at fast.ai It's free

"""And exactly how often do you need to measure the temperature when water boils?""" I drink green tea a lot. You pour the water at 70-75 degrees C. It's a lot easier to do the math of how much water you n

How open and hackable/interfacable is the Instant Pot? I own a Thermomix which is pretty locked down and closed. I'd love a machine with that functionality (good blade+heating pot in one basically) and the ability to build my own

There are a lot of Frauenhofer's and the quality varies quite a bit (anecdotally, anything involving physical engineering is usually solid). They also tend to mass apply for all sorts of grants and build research proposals around trend

This sounds like a pretty douchy sort of "yeah you're just not good enough, look how fast we are" jab by them. Better not answer with "Thank you very much. I also had a feeling that some people in the room lacked the men

You can select the separator when opening the file in LibreOffice Calc (don't have Excel on this machine but I know it's possible as well). Setting it to ";" fixes this for all European data sets I have worked with that

That "Machine Expert" snipped still looks way too much like a programming language. I fail to see the advantage over rolling a DSL with ANTLR which is reasonably intuitive (I'm assuming this is meant for external DSLs) or bet

They could aggressively go after certain corporate/government clients (and obviously also consumers but I'd guess not many really care...sadly) with a "no Management Engine, no secrets, no back doors, just secure" pitch.

Agree (handheld AR with Unity, won't need killer hardware either just you cell phone+your PC is fine). But be aware that if you ever want to ship something Vuforia is kind of costly. For quick prototyping Unity+Vuforia is pretty great.
