Hi, I have a couple of suggestions: - add "Show HN" to the title of your post - make sure that you're actually sharing something instead of just advertising I'm interested in faster deep learning. There is no way that I

I really think that you aren't even trying to understand what other people are writing in this thread and you're just going back to the same ideas that were in your head before you asked your question.

1. You can't know. (Unless something confirming the opposite leaks in the future). 2. Facebook's reputation is so bad when it comes to privacy at this point that trusting them is just naive. 3. Even in the best case, your metadata

It's great that's it's consistent. My problem is that the notation only makes sense if you already understand the very thing that he's trying to explain with this notation.

The paragraph beginning with "Let’s consider how we might apply the Bayesian framework..." where he introduces the notation is a great example of everything I hate about mathematical notation. We have big-F, small-f, f-of-x, f-sub

I'm not being snarky or argumentative - I genuinely don't understand what you're saying. What's below/upwards/downwards, what's the value between layers?

On a somehow related note: Am I alone in thinking that sometimes a lot of software development feels almost like a giant pyramid scheme with multiple steps in between? You build software for companies that build software and provide servi

That's interesting. How do you think R fares in this respect? (The problem that I'm having with Julia isn't the math/computational aspect, it's Julia's use as a more general purpose programming language in addi

The quality of the guests is amazing but the host is extremely off-putting and difficult to listen to.

I wouldn't claim that it's dead - it just fails to deliver on its main promise and the developer experience is still quite poor.

from OP: > I frustrate when I clicked to a title or entry and when I go to the tab I see that I need to pay for a subscription to see the content. I think this creates a great struggle in an open community like HN.

SO has had a very similar trajectory to Google search - getting worse over time because of some fundamental product decisions, no real hope for improvement in sight and somehow still the best product in their category.

Yep, I've seen the link. Never managed to get it to run "until the iteration output stream does not receive any more records" though, nor did I see that documented anywhere. > you might want to try using the Python tool Ye

I agree with this and I also prefer a programming language over a GUI. My point was that there isn't a limitation of GUI ETL tools that's specific to structured data.

The connection would prevent it from starting up for me because it verifies the license each time you start the program. Neither vectorisation, nor batch macros (nor iterative macros) allow you to run the same set of commands until a condit
