Sorry to be that guy but their inspirational video to 'reinvent making' feels like it was made by Erlich Bachman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWOGbu5BcT0

This is pretty good stuff. My wife is an Art Professor who's trying to learn basic web-design so she is eligible to teach it to Art students. The schools mostly use Dream Weaver and Muse (both from Adobe) and to be honest I think its a

Yes it is! They just recently replaced the old videos with the updated content. Best of luck!

I just bought this game because it looked really fun [0]. I've only spent about 20 minutes on it but it feels well made and certainly is challenging! [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHLizp8fARo

His latest, New York: 2140 is pretty dang great. Its a stand-alone novel with well developed characters set in a super-Venice New York. Neal Stephenson also has excellent worlds. The Diamond Age is my favorite.

Dystopias tend toward fantasies of absolute control, in which the system sees all, knows all, and controls all. Yeah, I greatly admire works that can show a diverse ecology instead of trying to say that an entire world is controlled by a

I know correlation != causation, but we're using imprecise language where these mathematical distinctions are mired and muddled. People don't think like statisticians, they think like humans who label things and create biases base

I feel like the implications of what she was saying are a little vague, so I'm not sure what she meant here. I think the main point is that this is still early days for defining a mathematical measure for 'fairness'. Wouldn&#

It's not really 'laugh-out-loud' funny, but he has a humorous dry wit interspersed throughout his essays.

His books are also quite funny, particularly Antifragile .

Downvote because while it is true that the math is important, a framework like PyTorch allows for more idiomatic python code. Tensorflow is in its own world being mostly written in C++ and trying to cater to multiple client languages. That

So your comment was very interesting in that it kicked off a 30 minute wiki investigation into that book and other sci-fi novels. I'm currently finishing 2312 from Kim Stanley Robinson and he uses the term Accelerando , so that piqued

What makes it inaccessible? Are GPUs prohibitively expensive? Are pretrained models unavailable? Is the software source code closed off?

I don't think this is 'democratizing' AI but rather centralizing Google's control of a utility service.

These are great. Another thing my eye doctor suggested is to practice the 20-20-20 habit. Every 20 minutes, shift your gaze to something 20 ft away for 20 seconds. I'm usually able to feel my eyes releasing tension after about 15 secon

I'll add another vote for course.fast.ai since I'm currently working through it. The instructors are serious about delivering a practical course that will get you right into the process of training and playing around with the code

Not really Vinge/Niven style, but Weir's new one Artemis was a fun read. Also, Kim Stanley Robinson's New York 2140 was a lighthearted and somewhat optimistic take on humans who have coped with the inevitability of climat

I really like the use of music in these videos (or at least the main one presented on the channel's homepage). There's something about simple atmospheric 'textural' music behind people talking about stuff that gives me e

Whether they get credit or not, they certainly have the advantage of knowing about the vulnerabilities before they're published.

From the thread, LeCun mentions: "Look at papers by Jeff Siskind and Barak Barak A. Pearlmutter particularly their work on VLAD, Stalingrad and VLD."

Not a doctor / scientist. Can anyone tell me if this is a pilot study or reproduced results from other studies? Or in other words, should I take this as a fact yet?

Congrats on your results! > Water tastes good now. Drinking water feels underrated sometimes, but its a habit I've kept up for a long time. I have to keep a (mostly) full pint-glass of water around me at all times (or a bottle whe
