I meant to compare mainly from a user perspective. If a train runs every 4 mins and takes a bit more than an hour to get to it's destination that's very similar to the tube experience. Very different to a typical train experience

From what I understand HS2 was planned to become very similar to the tube with 18 trains per hour. This is more that one every 4 minutes. The trains would also run very fast. This allows for caring lots of passengers, but it also is very co

The problem with notebooks is that they are not searchable and tracking code changes and creating libraries from them is not straight forward. My approach is to combine the strengths of both IDE and notebooks. I put my code into a package t

I used to have a Toshiba Portege R500 which had a transreflective screen. It was an LCD that could be used in sunlight because incoming light got reflected back from behind the screen. The colors suffered a bit, but you could even switch of

Thanks a lot. This is a lot of information to digest. I will check out your Twitter feed and I think I need to start to play around with TPUs then. Scaling seems to work fantastic for you. I am working more in computer vision and we are run

A bit off topic, but I am looking at TPUs at the moment. Can I ask for clarity if you mean TPUs are easier to use than GPUs out vice versa? I thought TPUs are harder to work with because they only support Tensorflow rather than Tensorflow a

Wait what? Do you know about the %debug magic? It is the best thing ever, particularly when prototyping in the notebook which keeps most of the state. I saw Fernando Pérez use it in a YouTube video. Shame I cannot find it anymore. He was sa

Oh no. I searched for ssh before I posted this and I think I missed that post. Thanks for pointing that discussion. Sorry for double posting.

I posted this, because I find this very cool. But before using this in production anywhere, I wanted to find out how secure people think this is and what should be done regarding audits etc before it can be used in a serious system. Does an

I saw this a couple of weeks ago. I think chances are high that it is being pushed into product if it has not happened yet.

I have tweeted about this a couple of weeks ago. No answer from Google, but then again I don't have much of a following. I hope this attention turns their decision around. I noticed this particularly badly when I tried to Google a prod

This is kind of how research at universities and public research institutes is funded by grants. You get money to do research, you publish a paper on your research and if it is deemed to have made enough impact, more grants will be funded a

It would be great if slack would also work at bad connections. I always feel like I just want to see the text someone just sent me and text should be available reasonably fast even when the network reception is bad. Particularly if the text

Learned something today. I thought lambdas operate without state.

If an atmosphere were created one way or another on Mars, would it not be stripped away again by solar winds? I thought the lack of a magnetic field is the reason why Mars has so little atmosphere left.

It's not about can only humans feel pain and other animals not. It's more: do some animals do not feel pain. I don't think many would argue dogs or even mice do not feel pain. I am not a biologist, but from working in labs th

On a political level, I think a lot is lost already - at least in London. I am seeing daily both "fundamentalist" behavior from both cyclists and motorists (rarely from pedestrians interestingly). I am catching myself sometimes no

Painted bicycle lanes are actually dangerous in my opinion. I cycle almost every day in London for now about 6 years. I avoid streets with painted cycle paths if I can (and take parallel side roads instead). The way I see it, painted cycle

With my background in computer science and ML, I worked with genitesists to automate some of their observations. A lot (almost everything) what they do routinely is still done manually. In genetics there are about 10 model organisms (I forg

Build tools to make research more efficient and reproducible. The research community is a small market and has little money. Building tools is often not regarded as scientific activity and can lead to dead ends if publication is pursued. So

Why would it not be possible to use multiple cores? Even though the plugins depend on the output of the previous one, they could sit on different cores, passing their output on from core to core. Even though that would not be parallel, bein

I am reading The Fifth Discipline by Peter M. Senge at the moment. It is a fantastic book that came out in the 90s and was updated in the 00s. It describes the need and practical solutions to systemic thinking for a learning / adaptive

Maybe someone should build a seach engine that only indexes pages without ads. That would mainly be private blogs and wikipedia, I guess.

That seems like they are optimising for a too narrow cost function. Carbon emissions are only part of the environment impact.

It is fantastic to see this pan out in real life. I read the checklist manifesto by Atul Gawande who helped to author the WHO checklist. It really one of these mind expanding books that everyone should read. I have seen below comments that
