lelima··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?

tldr: Talk about how genes influence organism, is like reading animal planet

lelima··on Compounding Knowledge
Which academic sources would you recommend on this topic?

I've checked the sources from that book and they seem legit, including papers and articles[1]. Besides, the reviews of that book are very positive [2].

lelima··on Compounding Knowledge
People like him, are made by many, many random acts, and of course dedication, around 10.000 hours is need it for be an expert in any field, any. What if "grandfather who was a grocer" was a plumber instead?

I Strongly recommend this book: Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

He studies outliers, their family, culture, timing. One of many fun facts is that almost every pro-hockey player in Canada is born in the early's month jan, feb, mar.

Why? they compete versus small children when their are kids, and those months of strength give them advantage, which sent them into better teams, with better coaches and so on..

lelima··on Bye, Bye, Google

lelima··on Practical Deep Learning for Coders 2019
That's great! I almost burn up my laptop running the NLP classes and wanted something more scalable that paperspace(is still a great way to run fastai).

Thanks Jeremy!

lelima··on From “Hello World” to VP of Engineering at Reddit (2017)
I'll recommend you the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.

It will open your mind about how people like Nick Caldwell(author of the article) or Bill Gates got to the top.

It is very, very hard for people on the lower class get up, even with IQ particularly high.

lelima··on We analyzed 16,625 papers to figure out where AI is headed next
Why is becoming a trend asking for email just to read the article?

what a turn off, I closed the tab.

lelima··on Canada's New Food Guide
"unsaturated fats (such as olive oil) are not suitable for (high-temperature) cooking."

That's not true, another human myth.

here is the paper, TLDR: olive oil retains most of its nutritional benefits even when heated in high temperatures.

go for healthy fat! :)

lelima··on Euro area is back on the brink of recession
I recommend the documentary Where to Invade Next, from Michael Moore.

I think EU have actually little problems compare with others.

lelima··on Euro area is back on the brink of recession
Uk was one of the most powerful members of the EU before brexit and saying "one person (e.g. Angela Merkel) determine UKs immigration levels" is not correct.

UK is not part of the Schengen Agreement, like, Ireland they can decide if a particularity nationality need a visa, I have dual nationality and I can enter Ireland or Uk without a visa using one passport and need a visa using another.

lelima··on When hiring senior engineers, you’re not buying, you’re selling
I think practice help with this "Some people simply suck at interviews".

If you practice at home, after work, try with other companies before applying the ones you really wants and you will improve your interview skills by a lot.

lelima··on Hiring Is Broken
It only failed 5 times, try more times and u will master all the interview process! maybe the hiring statistics is 1/6 smart guys get the job and u just had to try a little bit more.

I got this quote after failing google interview in the last round.

"Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm."

Winston Churchill

lelima··on Hiring Is Broken
Totally agreed!

This dude most play League of legends

lelima··on ‘Alarming’ burnout is making doctors want to kill themselves
"Most doctors say it’s the level of paperwork and data input they’ve had to do since medical records went digital".

So before "digital" they didn't fill in as many records?

Checking the main article https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2019-lifestyle-burnout-de... found:

"All that paperwork sucks all of the enjoyment out of being a doctor." -Family physician

"Fear of litigation, bad reviews, and complaints make everything worse." -Dermatologist

I can change the doctor words for any other profession and still found that any profession can argue the same thing

"All that paperwork sucks all of the enjoyment out of being a teacher / lawyer / policeman." -Family teacher / lawyer / policeman

but being the most common reason (paperwork) and want to kill themselves?

lelima··on List of Machine Learning/Deep Learning Conferences in 2019
Do you know if there is any way to stream Rework Deep Learning Summit in San Francisco event?

There are so many good speakers in that one and I'm in Dublin so is very hard to attend to that conference

lelima··on Open-Source Machine Learning Repos to Inspire Your Next Project
Nice wrap up of ideas, but I wonder why people don't get attention on ML project with structured data, which is the most common btw.

I know that predicting sales is not as fun as make Horse a Zebra but I think they're underrated.

pd: If you have nice ML repos with structured data I'll appreciated :)

lelima··on Fastai for PyTorch: Fast and accurate neural nets using modern best practices
Hello Jeremy,

One question, there is any best practice to transform video into [n] frames to then use model.predict(n) to make a "live classification / object detection"?

Kind regards from Dublin!

Check out Jeremy Howard and Fastai. I like sentex, their videos are good, but Jeremy is another level.

lelima··on EA reportedly under criminal investigation in Belgium due to FIFA's loot boxes
I'm so happy with this, it will create a precedent.

I know people that have spent a lot of money in counter-strike boxes, it works like slots machines, designed to keep you exited while you get a reward. The worst thing is now is the rule in every game (pubg, heartstone and so on..).

Good job Belgium!

lelima··on One-Shot Imitation from Watching Videos
I could not stop thinking on Overfitting..
lelima··on Teachable Machine: Teach a machine using your camera, live in the browser
You can solve problems using Machine learning without coding from a while ago.. azure machine learning have this features from more than a year ago.

I've solve regression, classification and recommendation problems with it and the best part is it deploys an web service with a few clicks.
