karpathy, I see you are at Stanford for Deep learning and NLP... I'm working on a project for audio/sound classification and have been sniffing around for some folks who may have encountered a similar set of feature points for aud

Or an alternative stance to that stance is to spell out whether an invitation RSVP is needed. If not knowing who the hell is coming or not in advance is immaterial to the event, then just make it an open invitation ("Hey we are hosting

With all the out of control government spending (in this case but also in general), I wonder... what did Puerto Rico get for all its borrowing? Obviously they spent the money but... on what?

Of course someone has to actually become a pop star so if you never even approach or try it, then you almost certainly will have zero chance. And in a different decade, who knows, Taylor Swift herself may have never been anything particul

"Twitter's stock price will sink if they don't continue a hyperbolic growth path." That's correct because their valuation is currently based on future growth. If their growth just stops and let's say they barel

Has everyone watched the video? There is a point in the video where "things went wrong" and it happens right before the officer makes the decision to physically touch the passenger and begin to assault him in order to remove him.

Exercise as a gain reminds me of indoor plumbing: Indoor plumbing is perhaps responsible for a larger gain in life expectancy and preventive health than almost any other medical innovation in the history of mankind (also conjecture ;) ).

Have you ever really asked them what their line of thinking is? You are like to get many different answers. I sought help from my professors and teaching assistants in college not because I felt it "wasn't my fault" or even t

On a hiring and a being-hired perspective of my own, I agree with you.

I think you're half-right because you're missing the fact that this applies to any major conservative enclaves as well. I'm a conservative (fiscally, mostly, but socially progressive) and often, but not always, vote for Repub

I agree ... a "Splitting Axe" like those from Fiskars are probably not best (well-designed) for uses outside splitting wood. I agree with the OP, though, that Fiskars' axes are fabulous when it comes to splitting wood over yo

I agree. It would be a mistake to assume that every level of management must somehow know many of the low-level details of every single person he/she might manage, directly and/or indirectly. A CEO, like Jeff Immelt of GE, cannot

The irony of that is that in the pre-ACA days, if you did get cancer (or were diagnosed early on-set), in theory, you could go get a job with group healthcare and even with a known diagnosis, you would receive that policy and could immedi

Difficult to say how much "good faith effort" she put in but nobody questions her commitment and work ethic. It's fairly well-documented, perhaps to a fault: http://www.redbookmag.com/life/money-career&#x

So, to some extent, that was a PEBKAC issue, no? ;)

And this, my friend, is why starting a [successful] business is hard. Because if it were that "easy" (i.e. the code, the database, etc.) then virtually anyone in the software development world would do it because it would be so mu

This is really nice to see an innovation on something "old but new again" like a roof. Roofs are not exactly the industry/product space we see a lot of innovation in lately. The typical asphalt/cedar/steel/terr

Half a decade is not enough? How long did it take taxi drivers to learn to be taxi drivers in the first place? Surely not 5 years. Moving into another career/job/position will certainly take time to transition, learn, and train, b

This article is, rightly so given the author, written from the perspective of an individual contributor on a Scrum team. First, the author refers to Scrum as a methodology. It is not. Scrum is a framework, and being based in agile principle

I think that the easier, and more affordable, access to these resources is absolutely beneficial. It is hard to say how many more people get into the field (and stay) because of it versus not having it. I also don't believe it would al

Not entirely sure I agree with that. Roads are not paid for by "everyone's taxes." Many roads are paved/maintained using funds provided by a local municipality. Thus, by that definition, in many instances, a "local

That is terrible, truly terrible. If given a blank slate to work with and dealt with all over again, what would be a better way of dealing with the liability? More monetary compensation? Or something else?

Does anyone know of any statistics that show people in the tech industry by age? In other words, I wonder if the sheer number of older people "in tech" is just dwarfed by young people who have been in it all along (As opposed to a

Regarding #5, that simply just doesn't make sense. There are "best agents" who spend most of their time buying and selling in homes in the 250K-500K range because they have a knack for doing it efficiently and in volume. It i
