Then you can also argue CHINA has "the hottest startup culture outside the US", based on NASDAQ http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-region.aspx?reg... Also among the top 10 unicorns by valuation ( ht

How fast is headless vs. normal? According to https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/c... the chrome browser spends a decent amount of time on other steps such as parsing HTML. I wonder ho

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the deal benefits stripe as it acquires a good (and growing) user base.

The gap between sensationalism and pragmatism is measurement. The graph shows an accelerated growth of CO2 emission, but lacks exact profiling data to deduce reasonable actions.

I agree with most, but referrals are one of the most important indicators. "A hire As, B hire Cs". A known issue, however, is the workforce diverse given the heavy use of referral methods.

This might not be true given just a couple of hours staying in the office and talking to people. Management issues / technical debt are not visible until you work for the company.

It really depends the type of growth. Organic growth is driven by the quality of product therefore scaling issue comes later. But most venture-backed startup services such as O2O need quickly dominate market by throwing cash to get users so

I don't view irratiality as a positive quality for entrepreneurs. From outsiders, they may seem crazy and stubborn. This is because those outsiders cannot understand the underlying assumptions or don't envision the world in the wa

Working in a car seems not a bad idea. We already have G-bus where people can read their emails.

The high dimensionality is merely for the convenience of optimization, so that we get smoother manifold on which a good approximation solution can be found. In that regard, it is interesting to think about of space of models that we humans

Well, if all GUI interactions can be automated, what would be our next human interface to computers/AIs?

I think one difference is that for many languages like Python, the http endpoints are hosted in one process. That's less horizontally scalable than lambda services.

I am very surprised that it takes Apple years before they finally decide to release Siri API (supposedly). The benefit of speech assistant for apps seems huge. And would it been released earlier, Apple can collect much more speech data as w

How accurate is CMU Sphinx for speech recognition compared to what's inside Alexa?

One way is to think about BI as insurance. Then the emergency cases are averaged across the entire population. Joe's twelfth car break-down can be classified as "insurance fraud".

They claimed to be "the only public toolkit that can scale beyond single machine". Well, mxnet ( https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet ) can scale across multiple CPUs and GPUs.

In a world so abundant of information, i think user attention is indeed a significant resource every major player should fight for. I guess the distribution of attention follows power law, that a few entrances take up most of the mobile use

it is true that most recent success of deep neural network are in the regime where n, d are large. And we surely shouldn't fantasize general AI solved in this way. However, the very appealing aspect of deep neural network is end-to-end

Jupyter notebooks do support multiple languages. However, sharing objects among the languages is a whole another thing.

it seems like a general phenomenon that our scientific understanding decreasing with the complexity of the system. in classic physics, we could have very clean equations capturing the dynamics of a system. this is not true any more in chemi

I think automated theorem proving replaces the "search function" of a mathematician. But there is another part, which seems to be more important, is the creative insights. For example, inferring and conjecturing a theorem from few

I guess the point is flow of talent from outside Europe. For example, there are significantly more good engineers from Indian, Europe and East Asia moving to Silicon Valley.

Julia certainly does have several features worth being excited about: calling C without wrappers, macros, good JIT performance. But I think what really matters is the ecosystem. With python, there is tons of libraries such as Numpy and Scip

I think there are two major reasons why CNN might not be a good model. The first is that CNNs expect translation invariance, which is pretty common in images. But language sentences do not have this structure. Another reason is that in NLP

One way to think about this is you record a piece of voice and put it in Google drive. Sounds less creepy to me.
