NP, I'm actually glad someone is making an effort to do this. Recently I've been making an effort to talk to more people (offline and real conversation) instead of being holed up in the CS lab coding all the time and its amazing how positiv

Considering how anti-social most hacker-types are, maybe its better if you make it a session with a "purpose" instead, such as perhaps a gathering where each person gets to show everyone something you are working on.. (etc). Otherwise, gath

The rush to get everything unto the iPhone often makes me wonder whether some of these applications they are putting on it are even necessary or even useful. I for one cannot imagine myself spending any lengthy amount of time editing spread

Googling his HN username turned up this site: http://www.noobindex.com/ Clean design and layout and I dare say it looks a little inspired from the HN design. However the site really doesn't tell me what it does, issit like twitter?

When I'm presented with a project (by myself or someone else), my thought flow is usually like this: 1, Is this project interesting to me? I usually trust my gut on this one and what I'm interested on is temporally-variant. I can only apply

Andrew Ng's notes are excellent but I think it'll be wrong to characterize them as "non-theory" since by lecture 8, he starts going into learning theory stuff such as empirical risk minimization, structural risk minimization, VC dimensions.

Its a good read but its kind of heavy on theorems and math with lack of application / algorithms and background, which makes it dry to read. To serve the field of statistical learning justice, "The elements of statistical learning" is an ex

I honestly hope that HN news does not degenerate into another reddit or digg-like news sites where comments and content are full of dramatized and useless material. So far, I've found the users of this site intellectual, technical and insig

To get the most out of these lectures, you really have to do all the problem sets and carefully read all the notes and material. Simply just watching the lectures is not enough unless you just want a very rough overview of the topic. It wil

Generally, i'm less weary about installing a plugin because I know there are certain limits to things that plugins can do compared to what an application can do to my System. On windows, things you install also puts crap into your registry

If the image in the article is the actual prototype, the glasses looks pretty big and the lens seems really thick, therefore: I think this is simply great because it will help mainstream the "nerds with big glasses" stereotype. Also, when y

Interesting post, I wish you'd elaborate a little bit more about what your iphone app does. From your current description, it sounds like a glorified color-picker. And yes, I've been working on some interesting stuff which (coincidentally)
