Previous connections aside this is still very inspiring. Scaling this well with only three employees (and resisting the urge to add more people just to be bigger) is an amazing feat. I'd be very interested in more details. How focused

The best resource (imo) is "Practical Deep Learning". As the title suggests it is...well practical. They specifically say that a lot of Deep Learning seems to be made complex on purpose and that it's important to get a good o

Seems to be for a x86 operating system. I'd have preferred some other architecture because so much of OSdev for x86 that I remember was working around quirks of the architecture (A20 gate etc.). I guess it's a valuable lesson but

That woodpecker is genius. And also sad. Would be a pretty great modern art piece imo. [hardware woodpecker (nearly extinct) that always swipes right on Tinder to increase its popularity]

I'm going to disagree. I think exclusive blogging content is kind of fundamentally opposed to "how the written internet works" (imo). Building yet another paywall strikes me as a bad idea. I much prefer "soft exclusive&q

I feel like some sort of Deep Learning oriented programming might be the "new logic programming". Instead of the horn clause engine you get the DL engine. Essentially you have a "universal mapping function" and "par

I wonder how much of their valuation the Brexit vote cost them. It might eradicate a good chunk of their customer base. How would one go about modeling this, how are VCs modeling this? Imagine a company built around some service for expatri

Ideally this is solved by positioning. Since they are associated with this concept it should be hard to copy as long as they executed it well, even if (or especially if) it's copied by a huge traditional banking brand (e.g. a British b

I think what you label business is the most important and also hardest skill of these. It is also immediately relevant for productivity and team/training if you consider "learning as a whole"[0] a good approach (which I do).

Maybe not enforceable (I dunno) but the academic scraping clause seems very good. You can't really hide that you scraped from GH if you want to publish it according to accepted standards (transparency, i.e. there will be a "data w

They could set up a fund of sorts and just take stock of what FLOSS software the current batch/all running batches use and distribute some amount of money that way. They could also just hire prominent FLOSS folks as exclusive consultan

I'd be weary of this person you are describing, depending how you got to know him. It reminds me a bit of certain poker coaches back in the day. You basically only have his word. I'd assume the 10k figure that accounts are worth a

The concept seems interesting. I have stopped the close investigation of the stack I use at the "Keras level" and mostly use things below that as a black box. I'm defaulting to Theano since I only have one GPU to work with bu

Good choice for YC research investment. I hope they don't try to reinvent the wheel in some areas (sounds like it from the post). It would probably be a good idea to benchmark how hard it is to set up a functioning and operational GNU

I'd probably reach for ANTLR to write a quick parser since working with such a stickler is likely to require more code formatting changes in the future. As an aside, the stuff I used sed/awk for in the past have pretty much been r

I'd much rather hire an intern that has a solid Haskell background and never used Java before than the other way around. Even as a pure Java shop. Especially as a Java shop that is using Java 8.

I'd be more interested in Github commits on weekends vs. weekdays as that is likely to be a better indicator of side projects (due to the "homework factor"). Or maybe Gitlab commits or private Github commits since public Gith

Just computing hashes seems a bit of a "waste" but given that this mining exists...does it essentially provide a market cap for renting GPU calculations for say deep learning? If I offer 13 coins for the estimated GPU usage it tak

I have had heated debates over inheritance taxes. I'm strongly against them because I don't like the signaling effect (if you work really hard, the government will take half of it) and it's a strange form of multi-taxation wh

Makes me wonder if Google will buy a substantial amount of Snap stock and if there were takeover discussions before the IPO. I'm not sure if I like this from Snaps POV but it seems like they expect massive growth and possibly want to f

So they received 15 million for being able to influence people on a massive scale (at least that's the claim). The article makes it sound like they can micro-target a solid percentage of the US population into action or non-action. If

On a somewhat related note, I think it's interesting that there is data on how people perceive information but that isn't really taught in descriptive statistics (at least it wasn't at my university). I feel like data represe

I have thought about this a lot. I pass my elementary school on my way to work each morning. As kids we just walked there it was a 10-15 minute walk. At around the 4th grade we took our bikes. We were accompanied by our parents the first we

I think this book is actually very approachable without much of a mathematics background. It's structured so that you can usually skip the mathy parts (and there aren't many really). Time and space complexity might be a bit tough
