Did you try the Dell XPS 13?

The difference is an awesome GPU (the GTX 1060) and at an affordable price. For people who wanted that I think it's a great option. Even the design looks like a MacBook Pro. If you don't want that much graphic power the Stealth ve

I guess it is a combination of a great writing style with interesting stories. He gives us a real view of how it works inside and sometimes he shares his own knowledge. Like in his "Banking is boring."[1] article. [1] https:&#x2F

A little bit off topic here but does someone know other great writers like him? I tried Bloomberg View, the Economist, WSJ... but I couldn't find a gem like him.

It's a great idea, but I don't know if it's like that for video games though. They may earn more money, but when they fail to code a proper backend and the launch breaks their system, they lose even more. Like for the last Si

It's more than just Facebook the product. Facebook the company made a lot of good acquisitions like Instagram.

Ya it happened to me too. This is why stars on AirBnB doesn't mean everything. We have to check the host profile to see if there are too many "host cancelled" comments, and if it's the case it's a very bad host.

Or like the 'Spark +5 years of experience minimum' type of offers we had 2 years ago. Now it's Tensorflow.

Well now it's becoming cheaper for them to hire a team.

Same here I can't. I live in France but as soon as I am back in SF I will!

I am very interested about Google Cloud and Machine Learning. Did you try to use other libraries than TensorFlow? What is your experience?

Maybe at the edge when it doesn't mean anything straightforward like a 'car++' in a meta class where a better name won't help or would be too long. But ya.

Ok thank you for your answer. So many things are claimed that it is hard to track what is real and what is just hype. I agree that it's something big. Training Alpha Go on itself means something bigger than "just" optimizing

There is this scary video[1] done by NASA that shows the earth with the level of CO2 across a year. The CO2 from China goes right to SF... And then it goes crazy. You can also see why the amazon rainforest is named the lungs of the planet o

Do you have first hand sources about this? I have now been hearing all and everything about what makes Alpha Go so great... First it was the hardware, then it was the use of the Monte-Carlo tree search with NN... And even more just 1 day ag

Agree with that. I wanted this feature for a while but after thinking about it, I think that it would be bad. It would change the focus on the first, second, and slightly third comment where all the other comments in the trees will be disre

It's not the culture it's how the industry works. Unless you are a huge company that can have his own in house engine with it's own team working on it, you will basically start a game from scratch with DirectX and with an eng

I am wondering how much the amount of hardware they used had an effect on the bottom line, compared to the wisdom of their algorithm. Everybody knows it's a great step in AI. But how much? How much their algorithm is smart? Or simply p

I guess working at an hedge fund, HFT, or doing some C++/ASM may be the only way to earn such salary.

I came across a very good article on HN about funding. It gives you a complete explanation to know what happen to your stocks through each series. The charts and the dynamic ones at the end are making it even better: http://dlopu

Plus 5. Devs learn to use their tool. So when they hire the bests devs (hopefully) elsewhere, they already know how to use their tool without requiring any training time.

What about scala.js? Or Babel, Typescript?

Ya... Also they said that the code will be available today on the same repo (on the master branch, the current link is on another branch).

On top of what have been said, there are two important advantages over young people that old devs should have. The first advantage is that compared to young people your advantage is your long experience in Computer Science. For instance: yo
