I think "Artificial Intelligence a Modern Approach" is still the best foundation book. However it certainly is not focused on deep learning. There's chapters on pretty much everything (one on reinforcement learning) but it is

20k or 10k per required course (there's electives but let's assume the bare minimum) seems steep for an online certificate which seems fairly worthless from a signaling POV. I'm not sure their brand name justifies that price

So basically 4.5 years support max. for your devices (iPhone 5 was September 2012; iPad 4 October 2012)? Also aren't there a lot of these "old" iPads out there with people "refusing to update"? I think technically i

Reminds me of an archeology job offer I once saw in Germany (for a dig). Masters or equivalent degree in archeology, PhD preferred, 6 Euro/h.

I'm using Startpage on my desktop at home. I like the general idea but have noticed that it is very slow at times (enough so that I have an alternative search engine I use when I get "annoyed"). Overall it's pretty good

It's a cool engine. I hope they will integrate AR capabilities some day (there's an open issue about this on GH). Maybe they could integrate with ARToolkit once v6 is released. Since all I do with game engines is AR my best option

Very interesting article, thanks. I'm somewhat familiar with Elixir (learning it/have written some small things in it) and only know roughly what Go is, why it was created and I had watched a talk on it a while back. This is a gre

Those users usually rely on some support structure which I assumed was the intended audience of the article. At least I wouldn't expect my parents to even search the internet for some article that tells them to turn off all antivirus e

Some good points. The antivirus software itself is probably an interesting attack vector. However I don't like the assertion that Microsoft scanners are sufficient without some evidence (and In wouldn't be shocked if the MS-AV sof

Well there's also no mention of the following and general goodwill Joel has accumulated over the years (mostly by being awesome, honest and also working hard on other products). Pretty sure he/his company could indeed build the ne

I think completely separating them and not marketing them as X build on Y would be the better move. At least according to positioning theory from marketing.

I think the food-id code can be used for more stuff if it works. I always wanted to snap a picture of my refrigerator and have my available food updated in some database. Then hook it up to some recipe database and we're talking (you c

I'm not well versed in the entire (phone) network space. Ericson switch uptime (powered by Erlang) is always cited and admittedly initially drew me to the whole ecosystem. Well mostly the "it's used in a network that has basi

I find it a bit tasteless to use the term slavery or wage slavery for essentially a job that you don't like but feel compelled to do to survive when there's still real slavery going on in the world. The outcome of disobedience is

I'm troubled by the fact that they cannot open the tool immediately and that it will take "some time". I also don't see the value proposition over say Google Scholar+alerts or Researchgate trends. Wait and see I guess. T

Thanks for the post, interesting information. I know nothing about the battery market but wouldn't it make sense for big players like Samsung to buy into that part of the supply chain if it's in the state you describe?

Trying to play GTO is an interesting (and very profitable) approach but ultimately it's not the most profitable approach. It makes sense for the AI to be constructed that way because the matches it's likely to play are against goo

There's probably a billion+ dollar market for this, especially if you can GUI-fy it enough. My guess is a good test group would be paralegals. If they can "click together" contracts with up to date modules you're probabl

My guess would be that they had a sufficient number of "do you have something less complicated, we'll pay you for it" questions which they can now/soon (I'm assuming they'll restructure the pricing/general

A slight nitpick but I think the luck you manage in boardgames is risk and there's also the category of uncertainty which you can't manage (because you don't know the probability distribution or the fact that something is pos

As someone who has worked at a bootstrapped B2B FLOSS company in the ERP/database domain I think taking/relying on venture capital is a dangerous model in that domain. I feel like the best options are: 1) Don't build a compan

I'd add "is the technology they use interesting" which for me is similar to their "is the team worth it". If I assume the company will fail but I got to hack some Lisp for a couple of years instead of writing Java c

I don't think it was that hard to see that there might be some bias in the polling data itself. Trump seemed very much like a candidate which would get a nontrivial number of votes from people who would not "admit" that in a

Regarding the harm it did to US relations with other countries...I think long term it would be more positive for relations with all countries if there's decent treatment of whistle blowers. Sure short term it sucks to have info along t

I wonder how they measure patent activity given the vastly different patent systems. Software patents being the most obvious example. Is a country penalized for being "less active" if there are no software patents in that country

On the plus side this is actually an example in the usability classic "The Design of Everyday Things". Iirc Norman concludes that he doesn't have a clue as to why they were designed that way and offers some hypotheses which h
