Java hate? I never said all Java programs were bloatware, only that WEKA was and that was a distinct difference between Waffles, which is what the OP asked.
152.
by lrm242 16y ago
Yeah, but WEKA is a piece of Java bloatware. Waffles looks awesome, especially if they keep it lean and mean and truly try to adhere to the unix philosophy like they say. I'm excited.

I haven't done any CUDA programming, however I have wanted to dive in. I've been to some conferences where the breakpoint between whether CUDA gives enough benefit to the computation is largely driven by time to load a dataset into memory o

Do you store full copies of all data? What I mean is, if someone breaks into Greplin, can they effectively read all of my email assuming I've synced with Gmail? Or do you just index the data and reference sources using URLs?

That's correct. Watson only learns from correct answers after a question has been completed. This is mentioned specifically int he Nova documentary.

It can always be "awesomer". However, calling it half-assed I think is a bit harsh. The truly novel aspects of Watson are that in its abilies in to answer questions in a truly domian-free way. It is not trained to be an expert in a specific

No, it is fed the correct answer by text once the question is completed. They said "listen" in the documentary, but later, in passing, specified what they meant by that. In particular, the demonstrated the active learning when Watson failed

This was answered in the Nova special, in passing. The question is fed to Watson as text at the same moment it appears on the display that the contestants can see. Likewise for correct answers. Watson is not performing speech recognition.

I'd like to add. If you've been taken by this guy but have felt intimidated or fearful to come forward, please email me. I have a strong suspicion that there are others, but I'm hopeful there are not. If the guy that took jiganti has scamme

Hacker News is the specific means by which this scammer is finding his victims. That, specifically, is what makes this relevant, IMO.

At the risk of adding to the intrigue here, I think it's best if this community knows that there might be someone unsaviory amongst us. It is jiganti's perogative whether or not to out the person responsible for this. However, nothing stops

You met someone on the internet. You sent them money. Presumably, you have no contract (at least you didn't mention it). The person who has your money isn't doing what you want. You've realized doing this was amazingly stupid. Consider the

Why? Cloning a repository doesn't improve the morality of downloading and viewing this code. In the same way that it is wrong to receive a stolen radio, you shouldn't touch this code with a 10 foot pole no matter how it's packaged.

It's a convertible note, so it is a loan. I'm 100% positive that there are no personal guarantees and it is essentially entirely unsecured. Convertible notes are very common early investment tools when it is very hard to place an accurate v

Hey, I understand. It's hard to do this sort of stuff, especially inside large companies. However, posting an anonymous "call for participation" of sorts is a serious put-off. At a minimum you need to post a link to the company you represen

Flagged. If you want the feedback of the community you have to at least have the backbone to post a damn URL. Advertising spam like this with some unbounded claim to email so we can "work something out" is an abuse of this system, IMO. Post

That's why you have a lease. It should outline the manager's responsibilities re: maintenance. Your options for recourse are numerous, from filing a lawsuit to not renewing your rent and moving on.

You're getting pretty defensive in the face of a potential customer. If I were you I'd take the opportunity to try to understand what WOULD make the OP's life easier. There is, often times, some easy ways to turn an initial detractor into a

There is data everywhere, and a lot of it is crap. Before you ask yourself what kind of data you need, you must ask yourself what kind of models you want to build. You can buy data directly from the exchanges. Every exchange will sell you h

What you're basically saying is, don't build stuff until you need it. I agree with that. Unfortunately, without knowing at least what the business is, it's really hard to understand WHY your process worked the way it did. Personally, I foun

Did you watch the video? That particular incident had nothing to do with illegal hits or an opposing team member causing endangerment. The player was trying to tackle someone, came in hard, and ran into one of his own team member's thighs.
