This is hopefully a first step towards more understandable deep learning networks. Great job!

I think what I was doing is the latter. Anyways, I just posted the writeup if you want to swap notes.

I managed to extract the raw minute-by-minute data from the Band using some hacky tricks. I was thinking of posting a howto, but trying to check if it runs into problems with the CFAA/DMCA. Might post something tomorrow after making su

The current hiring process already does this over 2 days of 1-on-1 interviews with over half the faculty. Those faculty can ask whatever questions they'd like (talking about specific papers and methods are very common). But there are a

Those client lists are a bit unfair to compare: Atypon lists large publishers (Elsevier, IEEE, Oxford University Press, Taylor & Francis, ACS) while HighWire's list has a lot of individual journals (Journal of Early Childhood Resea

This article seems to have fallen into a common misinterpretation of the results of the study. They assume that failing to reject the null hypothesis automatically accepts the null hypothesis. The article says "The study authors did fi

On http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/faq/ it says: How much does the degree program cost? We’re not yet ready to announce a specific program cost, but the plan is to offer the Georgia Tech OMS CS for a total cost of under $7,000—a fraction of t

Reading the google groups discussion raises some interesting questions: What prevents other open source projects from being taken down with a "management did not authorize this" notice? For example, what prevents Twitter from saying Bootstr

I think the main thing is libraries. I was looking for graphical model software that supported DBNs once, and could only find Matlab ones. There was a python wrapper for one of the Matlab libraries but was not widely supported.

Inconsolata is great for writing URLs in papers because they don't have that blocky look, and they don't stick out on the page from being twice as wide as your serif fonts.

Yes you had to manually turn kerning and ligatures on in the second tab of the font dialog. And you had to select all the text you wanted to enable it for first. Needless to say, pretty much nobody did it.

There is one change that I'm excited about that no one seems to have noticed -- Microsoft finally turned on their typography features by default. At least in my version of Word, kerning and ligatures were enabled in a new document. I don't

Maybe I missed something -- was there something about Elsevier that was particular bad? Worse than Wiley, and Springer? Would it make sense to boycott all the major publishers, or does Elsevier charge particularly more...

The website looks really nice. If I was the editor for a journal, I would consider trying this out. There have been a few "change academia" type websites on Hacker News before, each with a slightly different twist (like http://science.io )

I used this one summer to implement a graphical model I was working with. It has two approximate inference algorithms: variational message passing and expectation propagation, for which the inventors are co-authors of this library. I found

Oops, somehow I accidentally cut off one line. I actually was going to ask if you were planning to open source the backend code, since you open sourced the frontend. Maybe that doesn't make sense because then someone else could start a comp

I love the site. $8 for domain/renewal/transfer that includes whois privacy is a really good deal. I also like the idea of buying credits in batch. Since your frontend is open source, I figure I'd ask: are you guys still profitable at $8/cr

I'm just curious -- why would you agree to "work" at a startup that is not compensating you? Not even vesting equity? My feeling is the reason they don't have any other engineers is because they couldn't sucker anyone else into this...

I don't the beta(1,1) is a good prior. There is not an equal probability between 0 and 100 that a store has that percentage of good reviews. I think the the article should recompute the beta parameters using mle over all amazon stores.

It shouldn't be confusing. It's the price. Domains are a commodity, and $7.69 for a domain (after applying one of the widely-available coupons) is the lowest price in the industry. If someone registers many domains, this adds up quickly.

Not yet, but we may open source the code when we publish the paper.

This title is a bit misleading: they are not backing up digital books on paper. According to the article, they are instead keeping original copies of the books rather than destroying them.

I thought this would be useful for backing up my documents. I zipped them up until a 9gb file and tried to upload them and the website reported a 200mb limit. Is there a way to get around this? I know dropbox has a 300mb limit but you can u

I wonder how many people view images in email by default. In gmail, they block images unless you click something to enable them; my Outlook at work also blocks images by default. And these are two very popular email clients.
