   Long story short, I became aware of the position through networking in the tech/startup community in Ann Arbor, and eventually got introduced to an ML prof who knows the profs who are actually running the lab. I applied to the position

   Some on this thread have recommended Norvig's PAIP, but that's kind of an old school AI book in that it focuses on heuristic search and logic (implementing prolog in lisp at one point, very impressive stuff actually); but is lacki

   I like the concept and the framing of the demo is really cool, but the actual music generated in response to me doing basic things like playing a blues riff or a pentatonic scale was usually just a repeat of some fragment of what I was play

    Employers need to take folks like this into consideration when setting their workplace policies, such as to what degree to allow flexible hours. There are always trade offs. Thinking specifically about workplace hours, having at least some

    Isn't this article conflating feed forward applications of trained conv nets with the training of conv nets? The latter is what is so expensive, yet it seems like the demo of object recognition is the former, and not a breakthrough to

    I think it's more accurate to say that good developers need to have some level of systems expertise which probably means OS & networking fundamentals + practical Linux experience. This is because you need to have some understanding

    I'm curious to hear how folks how adopt GraphQL handle server side schema changes over time. I'm all for the idea of not breaking clients almost ever [1] but sometimes you need to coordinate between client and server logic; how do

    I would definitely distinguish between html / css / javascript and server side application code, be it in ruby or python, I just didn't think working on the server side application logic completed the "full stack".

    I'm happy for this guy, and there are really good tips in here for managing an application funnel. Like others, I'm surprised offers north of 110 are possible given his experience, and can't help but bristle a bit at him bein

    Depends on what you are most hungry for. For me this past summer it was to have time off to study without interruption, I absolutely loved it. Also have a family, enjoyed having extra time and flexibility. Took a few vacations. http:/

    Ha, well it was a publicly listed job, but I got pointed to it and eventually introduced to the profs in the course of networking with ML folks in town. I can't speak to how many applicants.

    I think it really depends on what you want to do. 1) Want to make user interfaces that are actually useful to people? Read up on product management, UX and interaction design. Important skills: articulating the problem you are solving and f

    How is is w1 x1 + w2 x2 +... wn*xn not a linear combination? Or is your objection that, upon adding w0 it is no longer a linear combination of x1,...xn? In that case would it be more accurate to say, "a linear combination of xs plus a

    I like this post, but perhaps it'd be more accurate to say that expertise is a necessary but not sufficient condition to teach a subject? I do find that the very best teachers have mastery of the material. On a related note, when I pos
