   That's what I still 'believe'. Wake-sleep algorithm [1] is a good start for speculation. I think brain needs to be in a different mode to reorganize its weights and to forget unnecessary things to prevent overfitting. In this

   I believe this goes deeper than a simple bait-and-switch. It’s straight out of Silicon Valley’s venture-backed startup playbook: burn money until the world dominance. That’s one of the reasons non-US or non-SV startups fail to compete. Not

   Nice try. This is similar to the candleholder hypothesis, and the answer is probably no. There are versions that have tiny holes and they cannot hold a scroll or a candle. Also, some experts say they are not actually from Romans although th

   Same in Turkey. We say Milliard instead of Billion. In my childhood I can swear it was like Million->Milliard->Trillion->Trilliard. They were in daily language because 1 Million Turkish Lira was like a few dollars. At some point th

    They are two different vowels. There are 8 vowels in Turkish. All letters correspond to a different phonetic sound in the language. So you can read it as it is written. Iı sounds like e in ‘the’, and ‘i’ sounds like ‘ee’ in deep. They are d

    Real reason: Opposition (CHP) is the first party since the local elections and it is almost certain that Imamoglu will replace Erdogan in the next elections. CHP primaries will be held this weekend and Imamoglu was the sole candidate. Made

    That was one of the most eye opening books for me. I think it all applies to Software development as well. It is not uncommon that you work all weekend to finish your task, only to see it waits two weeks in the next person's queue.
