You're right. Paris does suck in many ways. And I know the smaller cities have their charms. But none of them prove the points of the authors, that French are better at parenthood, weight control and seduction. None. We have to try to

Good food, and innovations in food, follow the money. The money's not really in France. What ideas they had to contribute, other countries have now absorbed. There is as much good food and wine to be had in the Bay area as there is to

In books and news articles, France often plays the foil to America, just as it once did to England. The French language serves as a sign of socio-economic distinction, a class marker, and for its disciples, it is probably easy to think that

This is a great talk. While most of Jessica's advice is spot on for many startups, there are some special cases, namely enterprise software. Once an enterprise software startup has built its product, or even 70% of its product, you hav

Anyone following DL news knows that DL alone will not lead to strong AI. The most impressive feats in the last year or so have come from combining deep artificial neural networks with other algorithms, just as DeepMind combined deep ConvNet

Thiel's multiple cases against Gawker are a death knell for American journalism. To be clear, I don't like Gawker's approach to journalism, and I disagree with their decision to out Thiel and expose Hogan. If Gawker goes unde

there's a whole lot of room in between. every modern nation state produces a super class, but it's a question of how super they are, and whether possible checks exist to their superness. there are few checks to vast wealth in the

Startups are just illiquid investments, like real estate or even like chunks of public-company equity so large that the market can't absorb their sale. Every single investor who ever existed has talked their own book; i.e. they promote

Says notorious aggregator.... I kind of disagree with Blodget. There are actually several must-read publications. Der Spiegel, the publication interviewing him, is one of them. They publish ground-breaking reporting several times a year. An

This is one of many arguments against total economic liberalism. Allowing unlimited economic inequality produces a superclass that is likely to treat the rest of society poorly.

What's amazing is the variance, even within one publication. Businessweek, for example, pays anywhere from $0.08 to $1.75 per word, which I assume depends on a writer's fame, relationships and maybe even writing skills. ;) Other k

This article is much more interesting than its fairly predictable headline implies. While the secrecy of Palantir has served as clickbait for many years, there's actually real news in this. And the news is about the difficulties of sca

Kind of. Deep learning is about more than matrix operations, and matrix operations are useful for applications other than deep learning, so I believe the distinction is worth making. Just like with programming languages, which may all be us

Fine. But what I'm saying is that "Atlas Shrugged villains" is not a particularly useful allusion, for a couple reasons. Rand neither invented nor perfected those villains' depiction in literature. Orwell did it better a

To be clear, TensorFlow is about a lot more than deep learning. It's a distributed math library, a bit like Theano. It's ultimate rivals in the Python ecosystem are Numpy and SciPy and even Sci-kit Learn. You'll see the TF te

Two things: 1) In this piece, Joel Hirst makes a reference to Ayn Rand as though she had something relevant to say about Venezuela, civilization, or for that matter, anything. That alone raises a red flag for me. He's declaring himself
