It's not exactly a wrapper, since you presumably still use the generated NN in LuaJIT. AI isn't my field, but it seems like a useful tool - actually setting up a complex neural net…

I think the idea is it sets up Neural Networks that are then run in Torch, with some nice diagram generating tools. I don't know if that's something people will actually use, but i…

It has 10 hours of battery life, so I think the idea is that you don't plug it in as often.

I knew a university athlete from the Congo with a tough to pronounce name. He started introducing himself as "Bob" during his flight to Canada.

I mean, it's well known but not well established - I highly doubt there's much sexual harassment in a typical corporate environment with an HR department.

Well, there is a huge surplus of PhD's in every field, and there is less industry demand for certain fields (French Lit, for example). This seems like a classic situation where cer…

It's not anger - they have other things to do so they're late, I have other things to do so I can't afford to sit around waiting for an hour. If I'm going over to meet someone, I e…

>Also at play is the notion that there are people in computer science that fall more into the design disciplines (i.e. HCI, UI, UX people). Right now, we have nothing for these peo…

>Actually, one might very well argue that you are the jerk, in your own example. Come on, what's one hour? Just do something else while waiting for the person to arrive. What are t…

Yeah, my supervisor for my undergrad thesis is a brilliant researcher who's still publishing good work 20+ years into his career. He was just a normal dude in undergrad who started…

I'm from Eastern Canada, right now a pragmatic student can go out West and work for two years, return to a community college with free tuition while drawing unemployment for a two …

>CS entry level classes traditionally fell into the latter category. Demand has resulted in students treating them as part of the former. I was in a funny position with this. In un…

>Which still means that, if you buy a 2014 model, you might get a machine that's slower than the 2013 model. I think what you mean is "You might get a machine that's slower than _a…

They all meet a baseline standard, it's just some people get machines that are above those baselines. Yes, sometimes the "good" machine from a previous generation will outperform t…

By that logic, why is Dennis Ritchie any more important than Steve Jobs?

And really, I've only ever seen rich kids with minor substance abuse problems get sent to private school.

I was thinking about working through the NLTK book once I'm finished with Bishop's Pattern Recognition, would you be able to recommend an alternative?

>What this means is that, as a first approximation, it is Uber that sets the price, not "the market" (whatever that is). The market is the aggregate of all other people providing a…

It's a bit silly to only talk about the Anglosphere/West when the word is used in a global context.

That, and the fact that Julia has pretty good CUDA modules, makes it seem like Julia is perfectly suited for work with Neural Networks.
