Whats wrong with Solana? I don't know much about it at all, just curious

I was starting to look at the same thing. I used to do a bit of Django development (5ish years ago) and things seemed to have changed a good amount with the tooling / frontend. Doe…

Thanks for the link - I'll probably just use this instead!

I don't do anything low latency so its mostly the common scientific python stack -- numpy, pandas, sklearn, etc. Mostly linux, lots of Spark, some R and C#. We're really flexible o…

Something I've been thinking about recently is that there should be a site that only takes the "good" products from amazon and displays them for different categories - maybe only t…

Lazy Prices [1] is a paper I was looking at for a while (I work on a Quant Research team) that does this in a simple way and the authors had good results. It takes the changes in l…

https://twiecki.io/blog/2016/06/01/bayesian-deep-learning/ This is a good example. There’s not much info I’ve been able to find - I’d be interested if anyone else has a solid tutor…

Agreed (but I'm biased). Companies could get some great tech talent for relatively cheap in Chicago.

I agree, it seems like no help just to list a formula to memorize. If someone knows enough linear algebra to understand what the formula represents, they can do the derivation. Thi…

I asked an AWS solutions architect about this specifically and they said they had no plans to implement it yet (that they knew of). I’d like to see someone offer this too

I've seen a few well know prop trading firms that are trading cryptocurrencies as well (Jump, DRW, probably others) and there doesn't seem to be too much talk of that. Goldman lend…

No. Because they are cash settled, only cash will change hands.

Yes, the types of photos will have a huge impact. eBay most definitely has an advantage in that regard.

I've been building an automated service very similar to this for womens fashion (mens fashion soon) in my free time over the past 5 months using deep learning. The goal is to index…

Pinterest does have something similar and has a few blog posts about how they did it

For those who use Tensorflow regularly: What 'type' of tensorflow do you recommend for a project starting today -- tf.slim, tf.contrib.keras, 'raw' tensorflow, keras with tensorflo…

Wow that is truly unbelievable. Thanks for the clarification and the link (reading now).

Maybe you could clear up something I've been wondering as someone new to cryptocurrencies. In the ICO, Bancor exchanges their own, newly created coins for Ethereum and the 'investo…

It's definitely possible with a masters in SE. There are many types of quant (see the markjoshi.com link above) - it will be easiest for you to become a quant developer with your b…

Looking forward to those posts! Just want to say I am a big fan of spaCy and your site looks great.

I love this quote. For accuracy purposes, it is from Ronnie Coleman, former Mr. Olympia and goes more like "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-a…

Somewhat related is this memo by Howard Marks that talks about the liquidity of ETFs (starts on page 6 -- the whole thing is a great read). When the market sharply drops and there …

I was listening to NPR a few months ago and they actually had a bit on tracking Twitter for gang activity and the ethics behind scanning twitter. Here's a link to the story [1]. On…
