For reference, NodeJS support for GPUs will only drop under version 2, so if you're planning on GPU acceleration, this is not for you.

This is Robert, the lead developer for brain.js. Ty for the plug! I was going to mention this, nice to see people listening and helping spread the word. Working on it hard guys! When spare time cannot be had, just stay up late, and get up early!

This is tangential, but I highly disapprove of any encouragement to stay up late. Sleep is incredibly important for the entirety of the body. It's always better to get well-rested over a small amount more work done (which you'll eventually lose anyway since you won't be well-rested).

Different strokes for different folks. If it works, don’t fix it. Etc.

Some of us succeed not just despite our bad habits, but because of them.

Lack of sleep might not stop you from succeeding, but it can make you think slower, have poorer memory, get sick easier, eat more than you should, look older, and be more prone to depression and anxiety.

Please read "Why We Sleep" by neuroscientist Matthew Walker. Sleep is essential. Don't give it up lightly.

This is not to mean that it's not a useful tool for teaching people simplified neural networks without having to whip out a full tensorflow environment.

Edit: When you have a working 2.0 beta, do you mind if I build a docker-jupyter notebook kinda like the Tensorflow docker? Something with nvidia-docker runtime on jupyter-nodejs? I really just wanna bring this into a more mainstream audience.

That'd be awesome!
