Most of the stories I have heard are from people choosing a noSQL store for the wrong reasons. They end up going back to a relational DB because now they see the value of ACID. The typical case is Mongo => Postgres/Redshift.

I wonder the same. My best guess is that it's because of the movie Her... Although, if I recall correctly, Rus Salakhutdinov said in a recent talk at the Simon's Institute that chatbots are nowhere near ready. ( https://

I read the infoGAN paper yesterday. It blew my mind. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1606.03657v1.pdf . This is a way to do disentangled feature representation learning without supervision.

I agree that in practise, deep learning tend to perform very well. With that said, it is not without limitations. In general, model-based machine learning approaches do not perform as well, but we should not limit our assessment only to per

I'd say that causality seems useful for intelligence. Josh Tenenbaum has pushed the idea of causal models and inference, and I find it compelling > Recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) has renewed interest in building s

I second this. A few months ago, I went through all the exercices (completing everything but 3 of the most advanced). Very easy to get going and very hands-on.

The jury is out on this one. The probability distribution would be the surface of a mattress with a peanut under it (very flat). This is the branch of IA/ML that turns me on the most. When we get there, it will redefine many jobs (as w

Slick. Random idea: what about instead of the "search by algolia" text, you replace the magnifying glass icon inside the search bar with an algolia-themed magnifying glass. For example you take the 'o' of algolia that lo

Sometimes the same is laggy, and sometimes my units do not move at all, while opponent units do. Super frustrating. Other than that, the game is amazing

I completely agree. But still I find it surprising that apple managed to hire Salakhutdinov. He is a huge name in Deep Learning (with a focus on math, unsupervised learning and autoencoders)

While we're at it, the function name `aTypicalDay` is one of the poorest naming choice I've seen in a while. Is it typical or atypical ?

Impressive. One question: I couldn't find advanced form components, and specifically dropdown/multiselects. (a bit like this: https://selectize.github.io/selectize.js/ , or this: http://wenzhixin.ne

Top players go to great lengths to just deny scouting information (for example killing inoffensive hallucinated phoenixes flying their way) just to keep their opponent in the dark.

Can I find any moderate-size app that uses Meteor with Appolo and Postgres as an example? The Meteor guide and tutorials, as well as most well-known Meteor open source apps (wekan, telescope...) use mongo collections. And since Meteor is a

Do you plan to make an integration with Meteor ? My main frustration with Meteor have been than it is tied to mongo (and not a relational db). I see Apollo as a way to plug Meteor with any data backend. If I'm not mistaken, that was th

Stackoverflow can be thought of a big cache for programming problems. A hit is a +1 on question/answer and walk away with the answer. A miss is when you have to find the answer someplace else (or figure it out yourself), then you make

The term AI has been used too much and has lost its meaning. When you mean "real AI", you have to refer to it as AGI.

I think this is a good approach. Many popular libraries put API design as their top priority, sometimes at the cost of clean code. For example, RamdaJS has this principle of "API is king": "We aim for an implementation both c
