Oh god I have no clue where this is coming from. I have never heard being hired based on caste. Are you sure about this or even have anecdotal evidence? Or you just heard this from someone? Unlikely though it possible that I am living in my

Also, Dale has some of my respect for realizing what he did was wrong and then reevaluating and trying to make up for it. He could have possibly chosen to let the chaos settle and not apologize. I guess we all make mistakes sometimes. Good

I second that this was such a great read. I am normally pissed with diversity articles because it looks like they are complaining. I won't say complaining is wrong but it just isn't fun to read. On the other hand, bunny broke the

> Also, I find the "years of struggle" trope irritating. Many of people live on beans while working 70-hour weeks and don't end up rich. Plenty of those people work at companies whose executives do get rich. Your logic is

Interesting paper that compares performance of GRU vs LSTM. http://proceedings.mlr.press/v37/jozefowicz15.pdf TL;DR - For most tasks other than Language modeling GRU is better.

I think the parent comment meant the missing context of heavy handedness (HK) in the title.

I am working with Memory Networks as part of my thesis. If you actually read and implement the FB paper you realise that the system is not half great as the demo shows. It is as bad as the top comment here. Yes we have come far along but fr

Peter Corke is an amazing guy. Loved his MOOC. Highly recommended if you are just curious about robotics. MATLAB is a sad aspect of it though.

Can you please elaborate more on the kind of work you do?

Can't really comment on this as I know no such people. The "consulting" companies part is hard to believe given the rules for GSoC. The new payment adjustment taking into account PPP is a welcome move in this regard even thou

As a former student I would like to emphasize that it is not about the money. I would have worked on the same project in the summer even if I was not getting paid. There can be various reasons why students won't return or become perman

I don't see this as a problem. If I had tons of money and knew someone (by any connection) who was doing amazing work I would definitely chip in.

You are spot on about the impostor syndrome. Colah's confession about being worried bring me some sort of relief given I hold him in really high regard. I am starting out in this area (still an undergrad) and feel really scared at time

Even I don't know what was causing it to be failed. What worked for me was downloading starting from the 3rd video and then downloading the 2nd with the help of a firefox plugin.

I think you and a lot of other people here are missing one very important point. It is not "10K Hours" that does the magic it is "deliberate practice" for 10K hours. Most in the profession of programming can't do 10

It is rather short and I would suggest going through all of it. It won't take long. Plus don't forget the exercises.

How about Alexandra Elbakyan who started sci-hub. Her work is pretty similar to Aaron's. I feel that by defying the rules sci-hub has really helped bring the cause of open-access to everyone's attention and we are all watching it

Agree on the idea of Classical Machine Learning experts being a little pissed regarding the average joe getting better results with such ease. A lot of these people have put in years of study/work in those techniques and it must be sad
