No doubt it's number 2, I've seen quite a few articles about other self driving efforts and the general sentiment I've seen on HN is "Cruise looks like they're far ahead" and "What about Waymo? Did they fa

so this is basically just a long form advertisement right?

but then why build a ride sharing service for Cruise if Lyft has already done it?

Yes, YES, this is what I'm talking about Microsoft. I'm surprised how muted the reaction is from HN here. On the technical side, this is a perfect example of how AI can be used effectively, and is a (very obvious in hindsight) a

What's wrong with doing a bunch of stuff instead of being the best? These kids are in high school, maybe they just wanna try out a bunch of clubs and see what interests them in college and beyond.

This isn't really a startup idea, this is more of a basic research idea, and one that's years away at that.

I appreciate a good ol' logistic regression model. I know deep learning is hot shit right now, but this right here is probably the best way to solve most real world ML problems. Just good data, insightful features, and a simple classif

As an ML person, I appreciate the infix matrix multiply operator (@). Using np.dot is cumbersome and makes formulas difficult to read. In fact, until this feature was added, I considered the readability of vector and matrix formulae one of

Are the two devices running the same model? The article claims the DSP has higher confidence, but I don't see why that would be the case. I suppose one could work at a higher precision but that wouldn't make sense if they're

Staying healthy is a really long term goal. You need to do it every day but there's no immediate penalty for not being healthy on a day to day basis. Penalizing someone financially is much more real and tangible than "that pizza y

Presumably this is intentional -- Uber could raise prices and make more money, but right now they're choosing to keep prices very low in order to undercut Lyft and the cab companies with the assumption that having a monopoly will retur

Would it have been better for Pebble to go bankrupt, shutdown their services now, and not refund anyone's orders?

For many researchers, "understand" relates more to the underlying math. Things like "what kind of convergence properties and guarantees are there" and "formality, what can this model learn and not learn"?

It seems that production versions of these cutting edge techniques come out very soon after the paper is released (in this case just a few months). I wonder how long the internal development process for these big ML efforts are.

Back when I played SC2, you really didn't need a high APM to succeed, unlike SC1. SC2 offered some helpful mechanics that SC1 did not, such as the ability to select infinite units at once, or give commands to multiple structures at one

This is not related directly to OP, but I'm interested to hear opinions from others: Do you really look poorly on someone who quits after a year instead of 6 or 18 months? If so, how far after that year before you don't think poor

Am I the only one who feels like all that math is required in order to properly implement an ML system? Bugs in ML systems are insidious and tricky, often difficult to find and manifesting in unexpected ways based on subtle issues in the un
