Thanks not what the post is about. It’s about “thanks” without an ask. As someone involved with a big open source project, Deeplearning4j.org, I can say that spontaneous thanks mean a lot, even years after you built something.

Here's the evidence, Vasili: Trump buys an office building in downtown Manhattan in 1995 - the year he allegedly lost $1 billion. All cash. He then borrows $145 million from a union pension fund to carry out a $35 million renovation. T

I'm not changing the argument. I answered your question precisely, and added new information about criminal activity at the building in question. You have not given a satisfactory explanation of the discrepancy between what the market

How is 1/8th of the price "market price"? Quite the opposite. You seem to have trouble addressing facts here. EDIT: Responding to your answer below. You are materially misreporting the substance of the NYT article, which I fi

Hi Vasili - I don't think you understand. He bought an office building on Wall Street in the mid-1990s for $1 million. That's a price so low that it's shady. As usual with Trump, he buys real estate at prices that don't

It's kind of ironic that a reporter whose livelihood involves adding content to tech feeds is telling us his life is better when he ignores tech feeds... by writing something that will end up in our tech feed.

Yeah, all Twitter needed was a pack of neo-Nazis, some Russian bots, and a genocidal conman in the White House. Not worth it. The health of Twitter's balance sheet is a counterindication of the health of the world. When their stock goe

I think the author is confusing the search for passion with the search for better information. If you can’t share code from past and current employers, and you don’t believe that your quick and dirty solution during the interview represents

One interesting aspect to this is that most companies focused on AI are chasing the same research talent, which is indeed rare. But sometimes AI research is not the most important skillset, especially when applying something like deep learn
