Does anyone have a link to a good video visualisation of training & inference?

With that out of the way, curious whether you have an answer? What is your favourite CS refresher material that is available online?

Sure, it's a valid nitpick. My intended meaning was "What is your favourite CS refresher material available online", and agree that the answers will be subjective.

Recently I've been looking for a good "refresher" for the CS theory I learnt at university - in particular the theoretical, slower-changing stuff that we had to learn but rarely ap…

It feels like a missed opportunity that the current generation doesn't already do that. All the talk is that Apple have been exploring VR behind the scenes for a while, and the dev…

Agreed, I don't think the success of conversational podcasts precludes using the same platform for something like this. Other feedback: For this HN Recap, 20 mins daily is a bit lo…

Fully agree. I don't see why general intelligence implies or requires consciousness/feeling/etc. We can probably create a tool with the ability to act independently and with super-…

Can it do hands & fingers now? Stable Diffusion is amazing, but I've never seen it reliably generate realistic hands. The examples in the ControlNet repo show a chef in the kitchen…

Now: Human Chess: a variant where you can't play what AI would play. Next: AI that can play Human Chess. After: Human^2 Chess: you can't play what the AI above would play. etc I wo…

Why would this be better? If existence of a competitor stopped everyone from trying anything new, the web would be much more bland. Even at this early stage, there's differentiatio…

This looks really good! I'm a Meeter user so it's a real use case I have already spent time looking for solutions to. I agree with other commenters though - I'd pay a one-time $10,…

Wow, here I was thinking I was somewhat original with my JIRA opening workflow. I have it configured exactly the same way.

It is not. Source: African. Unless of course you're comparing software developers' lifestyle to the refugees, nomads and slum dwellers? In which case $20k in San Fransisco is also …

> id rather make 20k in africa than 80k in europe. You criticise the comparison then proceed to make a vacuous one yourself. An anecdote to disprove your generalisation: I used to …

Brilliant game mechanics, such an awesome idea. Level 7 was the clincher for me!

I'm "double Bantu" - as a Kenyan I speak our national language Swahili, and I'm also from the Bantu Bukusu tribe of Western Kenya on my father's side. This migration history is eve…

Well, the point of the analogy was to illustrate the business model. I think there's room for a spotify model in writing. As a consumer, instead of a centralised platform, I'd like…

I don't know much about Go so can't speak to the server-side handling of file uploads. The drag/drop side of things is server agnostic - I strongly recommend http://www.dropzonejs.…

Just last week I started a new project, injecting some firebase-backed functionality into a squarespace site, and I used jQuery. I use it for the same reason I use lodash when I co…

That is a very pretty landing page.

Facebook events are fine, it's the writer's FB friends that 'suck'.

'baraza' is Swahili for forum/meeting place. It was very much Yahoo Answers, targeted at the African market - here in Kenya, most people only have internet access via mobile connec…
