Hey I love this but watch out with this kind of stuff. And by stuff I mean training RNNs to do classification on very small (100s) sets of images. (Also you didn't mention your train/test split?). Which just means, get more data a

Make is often brought out for data, "single machine ETL" jobs, but for big, complicated (and iterative) workflows it doesn't feel good enough to me. What do you folks use? Drake, "make for data" https://g

I liked this post a lot. I liked that they are doing this with the simplest and most well-understood techniques, matrix factorization+PCA. Though I'm sure they're also trying end-to-end extra-deep programmatic multi-media networks

Just curious, since your clients are visually impaired people, what steps did you take to make your website accessible? It seems to be from a pre-made template, did you check the template ahead of time? Do you have visually impaired enginee

At this point we should probably make a framework for implementing the native features in these systems, so the next Cordova/Ionic/Xamarin/React Native/Flutter doesn't have to start from scratch every time and take

A lot of negative nancies in this thread. I'm not here for kicking people while they're down. But didn't they have a layoff a month ago? Isn't there a management saying that goes something like "If you're going

I agree with this article. Proponents of blockchain tech argue its revolutionary quality is its ability to act as a decentralized and trustless database. But I don't ever hear them sort through the issue of how to agree on the schema f

I just finished watching this talk "ClojureScript for Skeptics" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsffg5xxFQI ) that laid out the pros of ClojureScript and completely sold me on trying it out. Weird seeing this arti

Interesting. Thinking out loud here, are Functions a new opening for Saas businesses? (tldr no). If you have a big enough user base/set of use cases, the next step after opening an API to your service might be adding a Baas/Faas,

A popular (in 2017) solution to the tech version of this problem (proliferation of services and data systems) is put it all in Kafka. I wonder if that would work for integrating Saas platforms. You kind of need a bunch of Saas<->Kafka

All of the photos in the paper, both "criminals" and "non-criminals" are from government ids. Though as the article mentions, in the pictured example all the "non-criminals" are wearing collared shirts. This re

Cool! Sounds like you have many interesting problems, on top of the usual fun challenges of running a social network+cross platform app. Computer vision, recommenders for hairstyles, products, stylists, and probably many more. Then you have

What's worse, being a racist or being called a racist? If it's the former, being called a racist is a valuable thing. It's somebody telling you that you have advertently or inadvertently acted in a manner that is prejudiced a

Good job on Sam for opening up his world a bit and letting us share the newfound knowledge of "how the other half lives". I'm eagerly awaiting the next few installments: What I heard from 100 poor people What I heard from 100

This is kind of weird logic to me. I see the letter as a good thing. He thinks the letter is bad because Grubhub's market cap dropped $120M? To me this CEO is commendable. He stands for protecting people from a dangerous and inept man,

The way it would work with your chat example is that Next.js would initially render the chatbox component on the server, then hand it over to the user's browser running the React component. Then the user's browser would subscribe

I'm no experienced Lambda user either, but here's a couple helpful things I've found: * I think API Gateway can throttle requests. Not sure if that was part of your pipeline or if your lambda had a different trigger. * There

Nice. It strikes me that the example in the blog post is just a general search problem, eg google search could use this: if you type "Brexit" and you want a general overview of a lot of different things, vs you type a specific que

Word vectors are really intriguing to me, and I have a few questions: If you also trained a model on a different news aggregator's comments, would it be possible to "match up" the meaning vector spaces and see differences in

Wow, the practices these 'disruptive startups' are using are pretty much the same as the bad guys in the dystopian cyberpunk novels from the 90s. They read the whole smartphone, including emails, (charging history?), address book

This is great, but for people who want to "get started in computing", don't they also need a display, a mouse and a keyboard? LCD screens are like, $100, a mouse is $10-$20 new and low-end keyboards are $10-$30. At that combi

I don't think they're benchmarks though. I think the great part about this piece is that it gives people more intuition about computer speeds in specific use cases to identify bottlenecks better. If you have a complex operation li

I don't think it would be. Yes, the basis for the hypothesis is fried chicken -> black people and craft coffee -> white hipsters. But that's actually what happens with gentrification. Diverse neighbourhoods get plowed over w
