Nice. Forbbiden. Did we manage to crash the site? highscalability.com supposed to be pretty high-volume site.

It seems to work fine for me, a link to the actual talk on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaZGT4-6EY

Jeff Dean - Chuck Norris for us nerds - fact as a bonus: "The rate at which Jeff Dean produces code jumped by a factor of 40 in late 2000 when he upgraded his keyboard to USB2.0."

If you like this talk, come see him talk about what's even beyond that at GCP Next: https://cloudplatformonline.com/NEXT2016.html

Disclaimer: I will be there freaking out because I work at Google on Cloud and Jeff Dean is rad.

Tangentially, watching the pace of papers coming out in machine learning is insane. It's so fast, people may literally cite powerpoint slides when the paper doesnt exist yet. The culture of openness seems to have fostered this insane pace. Contrasting that with the reclusive culture of life sciences explains why there is slow progress there.

If someone with technical expertise wanted to keep up on this field, but it wasn't their profession - i.e., they don't need to know every detail and don't have time to read a lot - what would be a good source?

Sorry about this. It means Squarespace has black listed your IP for some reason. Unfortunately I can't do anything about it. If you can try from another address it will probably work.

From the article

"...it seems like an excellent time to gloss Jeff’s talk..."

"gloss" a talk? WTF?

I am very interested in AI that can teach itself(sounds too great). Where can I learn up about such AI(related concepts and the whole 9 yards) to start reading papers in the field? I am just looking for comprehensive sources(preferably textbooks).
