I recently discovered Tim with his podcast. While I usually like the podcast, I'm curious, what are the arguments against Tim? What opinions do you strongly disagree with him?

I'm also looking for others thinkers that have usually different opinions with him.

Hi, I'm looking for an internship (6 months/February) as a software developer, preferably in SF. Shoot me an email!

Well, there is a variety of possible answers here. Giving the direct integer ("1", "23") to a simple deep network won't work.

- RNN with LSTM might be a better approach, since it will more based on the value of the ordered bits than their "disposition", and could scale to an arbitrary high number.

- @zardo mentioned Pointer Network (https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.03134). It looks to solve this kind of problems but honestly I'm discovering it now.

- Give the base 3 and 5 of the input would be the fastest solution. (but since it's kind of hardcoding part of the solution, it's more a trick than a general solution).

Can anyone correct me what if I got something wrong here? Did I missed something?

He should have used a Recurrent Neural Network with Long Short Term Memory so that the neural network won't have been dependent of the maximum number given NUM_DIGITS. Scalability! No wonders he didn't got the job.

Joke aside, it's funny how simple machine learning problems can reveal people who think you can just give neural networks anything and output anything, and it will work like magic.

Thinking in React was the first tutorial that really triggered me an woaw. It's also quite fast to do.

Hi, I'm looking for an internship (6 months/February) in a startup, preferably in SF. CS Master (French Engineering Diploma). Major in Mobile Technologies and Embedded Systems. I also do online courses and lots of small projects. I'm heavily interested in Machine Learning & Development.

Yesterday, this occurred to me. I quickly forget which pdf I have downloaded. I was searching for an application who is basically a to do list for pdf (a "pocket" for pdf).

Does anyone have an application like that?

Yes, you are right. Without any evidences, our doubts about any claims is total. I was just transposing my belief that people are generally honest and good. Though, I don't have any proof for that matter.

I also forgot about this one. Good too recall. Especially now that algorithms dictate more and more our lives, are still not (usually) public.

Zuckerberg is not responsable for the existence of the Friendship Paradox or our natural instinct to envy, etc. Facebook mission in itself, is good. We have no reason to doubt Zuckerberg honesty to do good. Do you have any example where Facebook did something that they knew was bad but still did it?

It's true that social network bring bad side effects, everything does. They can only try to correct them.

For people who also feel this feeling, I suggest you to try some browser extensions that will hide the news feed while letting you use the fb messengers & group function.

I basically turn the notification for my best friends post, etc and delete the FB app. So I'm always connected and only receive notifications when one of my best friend posted something.

I admit that it's not the ideal solution but it's the best one so far.

"The requested page could not be found."

I asked myself the same question. Why do we need to replace meat by something? Are vegans really lacking protein? Moreover, even if it's true, if we just take into account an important diminution of the meat consumption, will people lack proteins? I'm assuming we eat more meat than we ever did in our history.

Well, if I understood correctly, the RL DeepMind implementation is basically making a RL algorithm work with a supervised model.

"That's the thing about black holes. They're not just annoying obstacles for space travellers. They're also theoretical laboratories that take the subtlest quirks in the laws of physics, then amplify them to such proportions that they can't be ignored."

I also use this strategy to think about philosophy and science. People often think that because they are extremes, they are not relevant. However, they are as relevant! And they force us to think outside our natural instinct.

Had this idea before. I search on this internet, if recall properly, it's because to get into orbit, you mainly need a good horizontal (parallel to the earth) speed, and the ballon only give a vertical speed.

Plus a ballon have lots of frictions and also cannot lift weight rocket.

I hope it help a bit. (If a rocket scientist could answer, that would be awesome)

Thanks.

I would have included Drivy, which has recently raise $8.6m and acquired Buzzcar (a concurrent). [Peer to peer car sharing]

Other than that I would be curious to know how that list compare to other country/state.

Edit : and also capitainetrain, which have raise $6.3m. [Buy train ticket]

Peter Norvig is really an impressive teacher.

I have been doing his course "Design of computer programs" (https://www.udacity.com/course/cs212) and it really push me from basic/novice developer to intermediary.

He succeed to explain you things in a natural way. He seems to always start by the basic assumption. Working and thinking around any problems/surprises he/you encounter. So, you have the impression to discover things more than learning them.

> - To get started, ask yourself, what is the simplest thing that could possibly work?

I'm not sure I would go for what appear to be the simplest now ; I try to find the implementation which will have the simplest design to use/modify/delete in the future.

I'm interrested in bioinformatics. I would like to know where should I begin ? Should I take learn the basic of biology before starting or should I approach it with informatic first (like rosalind appear to be)? Is this link a good starting point ?

Thanks. (I hope it's not too much off-topic)

"I still think I compressed the data in the original file. It's not my fault that a file system uses up more space storing the same amount of data in two files rather than a single file."

I don't really agree with that, given the fact that he used the information about the size of the files.

I'm looking for an internship as a software developer for 6 months beginning February 2015 in a startup.

First of all, thank you. It's great!

I'm interested in the 'business' aspect of this site. How do you plan to make profit ? How can you make people come back to the site when the stacks don't change that quickly ?

IFTTT recipes to replace OhLife https://ifttt.com/recipes/205201-quick-ohlife-replacement https://ifttt.com/recipes/205202-quick-ohlife-replacement

it's far from perfect. I just created them, but I will give it a try.

"Using a simple scraper written in Ruby, I was able to grab data on the >90,000 TV shows in the IMDB database"

I know it may be a bit more hard to use than a crawler (sadly), but IMDB give their dataset for free (under conditions) : http://www.imdb.com/interfaces

(imdb stricly forbit crawler)

edit : nice analysis ! thanks !

"Deep learning requires a ton of tuning and tweaking, and getting good results is as much art as science."

Funny when you think about it : Deep learning is supposed to avoid that ^^'
