+1 For real world business problems that I most frequently encounter doing consulting, it's hard to beat Random Forests and/or Gradient Boosting. Truth be told, most business probl…

I'd settle for figuring out how to send an email to a previous point in time. I'd like to email myself in 2009. Something about buying a bunch of ASIC's and mining something for a …

With a little luck, in about two months we'll finally get to watch Shazam again.

Mark is also the that recently tweeted a picture indicating that he as working through an "into to python for machine learning" book. He may have been successful in tech 25 years a…

This guy is just trying to tout his own product. That aside, Kaggle can be quite useful for learning... at least it used to be. Kaggle got me into machine learning 2-3 years ago an…

I think this is because at it's core, the math behind deep learning is pretty simple and there's not much of it. Linear algebra, some simple activation functions and gradient desce…

Short answer is that their employment contracts probably don't allow them to sue. Almost all employment contracts contain binding arbitration agreements now.

My "Fake News" comment aside, I think what y'all are doing could be transformational for many reasons. Imagine a scenario where a person loses a loved one, and similar technology i…

czep, even though I don't agree with much of what you wrote (in the article), I do appreciate you taking the time to so thoroughly expound on the ideas. Paul Graham most likely fel…

And I forgot to add above: I am sorry for the loss of your friend. When a friend dies in a freak accident, there is at least the comfort that you probably could have done nothing. …

You specifically asked how you could use your technology skills to help people. First though, there are two kinds (at least) of depression. One is the normal kind where you feel bl…

> I see a future where a developer is paid the salary of a retail cashier and it scares me. The only way that will happen is if Point-of-Sale systems become so complex that a devel…

"Why am I getting reprimanded?" "Because you ran a unit test..." "What is wrong with that?" "It's Brian's job to press that key, not yours. You violated Union rules"

Yup, I see 8-10 hours of real use since 10.12.3

"Trump's huge unpopularity right now shows..." After watching what happened with the election, I don't think it's safe to say Trump is unpopular. Sure the mainstream media and loud…

Ask yourself this: Is there a market for database developers that don't have a PH.D in Relational Algebra? "AI" will be democratized very quickly just like data (SQL, Excel, etc.) …
