Can you elaborate on the "novel anomaly-detection algorithms" used here?

Full disclosure: I work at Numenta. In the HTM model (presumably the Numenta algorithm you're referring to), synaptic weights are updated with every new data point in discrete time…

There are more reasons to stay at a company than perceived value of options. Options are only part of overall compensation and, I don't know, maybe you can actually like your job.

See https://github.com/numenta/nab for anomaly detection results on real-world data, with comparisons to Twitter and Etsy Skyline.

I should also add when they mean "architecture" they mean it in the literal sense -- the physical structure in the brain in which encoding sentence meaning takes place.

Implications are that left mid-superior temporal cortex (LmSTC) carries information about sentence-level meaning, which had kind of already been implied in prior experimentation. T…

In Mountain View, and likely elsewhere in the Bay Area, charitable organizations make the rounds once a month to basically do the same. They provide the bags, collect them, and pre…

I thought it was weird when I first heard it referred to as espresso, but the official name is "Aerobie® AeroPress® Coffee & Espresso Maker" and there doesn't seem to be any consen…

Actually seems like it'd be a decent use of what became of the ill-fated super collider project south of Dallas. A quarter of it has already been bored.

NuPIC, the Open Source project upon which Grok (Numenta's commercial product) is built has an active community at http://numenta.org/lists/ . We had a workshop and hackathon a few …

I've been there, having interviewed at both amazon and google and rejected at both. Ultimately, I'm better (and happier) for it. Eventualy found myself in the position of having to…

Numenta is very much alive. Grok is available in the form of an AMI on the AWS EC2 marketplace, and if you're curious about how it all works under the hood, NuPIC, the core impleme…

FWIW, there is no learning on-chip. Machine learning is not the goal of this project, nor is its success dependent on it's learning capabilities (at least not at this phase). Where…

In one of my previous roles as a software engineer at a local, independent office supply company, this would have been a compelling idea. They ran a small fleet of leased delivery …

Assuming your workers can periodically report on progress, Socket.IO may fit the bill, has multiple implementations and provides graceful degradation for older browsers.

Wow. That contrast between New York and Bronx counties is staggering.

Good call. Looks like it's a british english convention. I'd not seen that before, thanks!

NuPIC was released as free software, in part, because there has been a strong interest in the academic research community. I encourage you to check out the mailing list ( http://li…

Crass. On a serious note, it's not likely more/better reflective clothing would have helped. It sounds like the driver was deliberately and abruptly deviating from the normal lane …

Reading the Manta website, I can't help but be reminded of this webcomic: http://rbxbx.info/images/fault-tolerance.png

I think the title of this is a bit misleading. The message is much less about "the valley" and more about building a culture around geographically distributed collaboration.
