I know plenty of people who've gone through bootcamps who are now productive engineers at top startups and big tech. Even though I have a degree in computer science, I'm not at all scared nor "frightened" by these school

"There is no way Facebook would ever implement something like this." Except they did in 2011 in response to Google+ by adding Friend Lists, which you can use to filter your News Feed down to stories and news items from just friend

RCNN uses selective search to generate the ROIs. What makes Faster RCNN faster is not having to spend time on selective search.

Yes but it's a magnet of underprivileged and at risk students. Not your typical magnet. Props to LeBron for starting the school.

Fb's research in computer vision has produced works like training a neutral net on large datasets in 1 hour, instance segmentation neural nets, and many more, and made the code and research public with nonrestrictive licenses. These ar

I actually find it disturbing that Trump is kind-of right: NYTimes is #fakenews. :( What an age we live in.

I'm surprised to see someone tell it for what it really is. This is just like the Uber "scandal" from last year in that things got blown way out of proportion in some aspects, but positive changes were made.

No one I know clicks on Google ads. Does that mean Google's ad business is probably illegitimate?

I'm skeptical of your determination of Facebook's outlook based on your social circle, which is limited in size, geographical location, wealth, social status, and a bunch of factors.

R-CNN is slow but Fast R-CNN and Faster R-CNN simply use one forward pass per image, making it feasible for use in real time

VR hasn’t taken off as promised and the hype is dying down now. The headset is too clunky in its current incarnation. People view it as a novelty item rather than a useful tool, so I’m inclined to believe this won’t be the massive surveilla

> There are important counter-trends to this -- like encryption and cryptocurrency ... How does this translate to "they are about to launch their own coin"?

I believe you're using biased sampling to value Instagram, Messenger, and Facebook. That's why you believe Instagram isn't valuable

I personally didn't have much use of Facebook until I started using it to connect with those who suffer the same illness as me. Then I realized I had a worldwide support group to tap into. That's pretty important to me and to the

that's news to me that MBP is outselling Surface. Also, at least 1 billion people use Facebook so that must count for something.

I agree with DannyBee. The author of this post seems to suffer from a bit of arrogance and inflated sense of his own abilities. It's likely he tweaked the story a bit to make himself feel better. I've seen many high level director

While I did take courses in probability, linear algebra, and lots of calculus, until recently, I forgot most of the probability and all of the linear algebra I learned in school. As for calculus, I only remembered how to take basic derivati

Honestly, it doesn't seem that complicated. Just watch this educational video series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKxRvEZd3Mw by Google, and you'll be able to do cool stuff with machine learning.

storing data for 1 billion users and maintaining consistency is a pain the butt operationally. Whatsapp isn't storing the data. If they are, they're spending hundreds of millions on servers for data they can't monetize easily

LOL. Those who think "AOL" is a "dying brand" on here are the same ones who think Node.js is scalable and reliable.
