What killed me was that people wouldn't schedule back-to-back meetings because of stragglers to the second one, cutting into it. This meant that there would be an hour meeting, then an hour gap, then another hour meeting. Never enough

When I read this my first thought was how easy it would be to replace the Mechanical Turk team with a neural network trained to distinguish between thatch and tin roofs.

I recently gave a software engineering talk at a high school's career day, and a student asked how the industry has changed, and it caused me to think about this. In a lot of ways I think it's a wash. We could do less with the too

The definition of "your phone" is what comes into play here. If the parent or abusive spouse pays for the phone, it's not "your phone", it's theirs, and can put what they want on it.

I'd say because Python is a good prototyping language that has easy interfacing to the underlying C/C++ code used for fast numeric computation.

Isn't texting and social apps where kids "hang out" and make friendships today? It might be noble to keep your kids off of the platforms but if you're the only one your kids are going to be lonely.

Get familiar with Linux. They've probably just done programming on Windows machines, but any server work, or data science or scientific programming will involve Linux and if they don't know their way around it they'll be behi

It was the 70's. I was in a similar situation, I just guessed bad words as passwords until I got in with "login 1 hell". My first hack :)

I've been ruminating over how to use Tensorflow to recongize squirrels on my birdfeeder on a Raspberry Pi, and hook up something to activate a squirt gun. Now the squirrels don't stand a chance.

I'm confused, does the switch from HFS+ to APFS happen when the upgrade happens, or is it a separate step you do or not do later? My macs are on rotating HDs, sounds like some of the problems are with this.

I'm giving serious thought to buying or building a rig for these courses. What's "enough GPU RAM"?

I'm looking for a (possibly) portable machine to do some deep learning exploration on. Would a developer edition of this with Ubuntu pre-installed, be a good choice? Is the NVidia powerful enough and accessible via drivers?
