Hi Stranger. At the moment, I am very passionate about memory and energy efficient artificial neural networks. I discovered this paper earlier today:

https://ganguli-gang.stanford.edu/pdf/20.Pruning.pdf

I thought it tackles a very important problem and really got me into the topic of pruning.

Hello from Raleigh, NC. Just graduated with a degree in political science but found work as a software engineer.

Currently passionate about rock climbing, I wonder if there are any other climbers on HN? I’m looking to take a class on lead belaying soon and start sport climbing!

How is the tech scene in Raleigh compared to other medium sized cities on the east coast?

I’m passionate about Bitcoin, Ethereum, Catholicism, the destruction of the state, the lowering of taxes, the betterment of society on individualistic terms, the rise of private schools and the death of public indoctrination. The future is truth and the ruination of government lies. And every day I see more evidence that the socialist order is decaying.

I would _love_ any semblance of evidence that the current order is in any form socialist

Good as far as I can tell! There’s quite a few conferences around the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, chapel hill). There’s also a lot of company campuses in the research parks and Pendo + Red Hat being headquarters downtown.

I'm passionate about finding a job. Switch to SWE from DS, but also strong aerospace background so I know F=ma and data that isn't clickstreams. It's blood on the streets out there though, as we all know.

When I uploaded my first website in 1998 I got quite a few comments in the guestbook, even when there was really no interesting content there. Now I upload carefully produced and edited videos and I get no response.

Is there a bootcamp but for electronic/electrical engineering related things? Thinking of sending my cousin to study EE but doesn’t want to waste time doing college degree.

We already have a business and would like to expand a bit more on electronic side of things like IoT/hardware stuffs.
