You basically prove my point. Your "proof" is some admirer claiming this guy discovered it [1] ? You realize, even if this were true, he'd (atleast) be third in the game. Also wher…

Exercise in dealing with such "Exhibit A"'s: > Pythagoras' school provided the earliest documented proof of the theorem, but the result was possibly known as early as 3000 BC. Actu…

Don't you think that's a bit strange ? The dude was helping the massacre the Bantus in Africa and suddenly becomes a "messiah" in a few years after returning to India ? I mean that…

Much of modern history is a throwback of the colonial times when the "barbarians" from the West were trying to search for some great past of their people. Thus much of what is attr…

Wow! How much do people manage to generally save in Japan as opposed to SF ?

It's not clear that it will change every industry; it'll definitely lead to great job losses in certain fields with the oncoming ADAS boom. I can't think of other areas where it'll…

Seems like PR bait. Tim Davis' page is much much nicer. http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse/matrices/synopsis/ I think Trefethen too has nice visualization like this (or maybe …

Oh really? Pray tell me, oh self-conceited one, what I missed that is both in actual use and in that book ? For things outside this set, you'd not read this book anyway; nor would …

Don't need to when you read papers.

The only "math" in deep learning is given by reverse mode AD (or if you're into fancy stuff, "efficient computing of pullbacks"). The rest of it plain old hacking, and empirical tr…

Yeah, nature is concerned with our petty lives and freedoms.

You may as well ask: "Why are parish school students so Christian". This is not to say that they viscerally believe in these qualities... oh nooo. It's just that if you want to pla…

Considering the glut of neural network libraries, it'd be useful if there were some blurb about what makes this "special". To clarify myself, "what niche does this belong to". Caff…

Sadly you can only share pickleable objects in python multiprocessing.

Clearly you've never run any of the object detection nets. State of the art is still 70 fps on Pascal for a 300x300 image.

I'm not going to waterdown my analysis for some two bit politically correct occidentals and "hyper-nationalist" orientals. A large fraction of Indian children will be illiterate in…

To be fair, the Wikipedia sites for these languages barely have any content. Of those that do exist most articles are essentially 2-line blurbs. These languages are essentially dea…

Frankly you're overstretching. If you've ever driven in India you'd be questioning the very basis of humanity.

There are deep cnn models for doing joint recognition detection at around 60fps (at 300x300) at reasonable accuracy 75%. This is arguably the most expensIve part of the pipeline, b…

I wish people benchmark GEMM performance for all of us math folk.

The guy also chairs the steering committee of Bildeberg.

Indeed! I had to struggle with a consumer hp dv65xx for a few years before I finally got my hand on a thinkpad. Opening it up was a nightmare, and I broke random plastic things eve…

An artifice-ial language constructed based on ostensible ideological "homeland" based in the Baltics, is closest to one of the Baltic languages ? Gee, you don't say.

> > "A deeper realization came further on: there might be limitations in language itself and our ability to represent ideas and think about them that could preclude us from actuall…
