Going to prison for not doing your hw? And what does going to see a therapist have to do with anything? People with all kinds of problems go to a therapist.

Same! I am looking to learn a low-level language and want to learn Rust due to all the things I have been hearing. However all the backend stuff (python)for deep learning is written in C++and nothing yet for Rust. I would love to avoid C++ as the language seems to have a lot of quirks and bugs that take time to get used (from what I hear) and these days I like efficient languages.

As far I know there aren’t any good computer vision libraries for Rust?

This is a great post. Time is limited and you have to make sacrifices somewhere.

Being sedentary seems to be really bad for you and programmers are the forefront of this as we spend lots of time motionless.

There seems to be correlations with major diseases as well as muscular skeleton pain. It’s not even 16 hours. Even 8 hours seems to be bad,(especially if it’s not spread out), since we live in a pretty sedentary world now.

I’ve been following these threads on hacker news as I want to prevent as much pain and diseases as I can.

I think sitting is more natural than standing. Hunter-gatheres sit around a lot but they don’t sit on chairs. On the other hand they don’t stand on one place for too long and usually are on the move.

I was looking around for a language to write my own versions of convolution layers or LTSM or various other ideas I have. I thought I would have to learn c++ and CUDA, which from what I hear would take a lot of time. Is this difficult in Julia If I would go through some courses and learn the basics of Julia?

This would really give me some incentive to learn the language.

Yes! This is something I have noticed as well and it’s requiring a little rewiring of my brain.

Pretty cool. What did use to create it?(currently learning web development)

I’m primarily a windows user and am programming to create products. Since I don’t work a programmer job, my learning is unstructured. Is bash the main benefit of learning something like Ubuntu?

I have delayed making the switch because I have lot of things to learn (currently relearning math, testing out different deep learning architectures, and learning JavaScript (second language after Python)) and not sure if should prioritize learning it.

I still need to get better with GitHub which is something I clearly see the benefits of. Also need to get better with a text editor , using Visual Studio Code , mainly just for text completion in Python and JavaScript, so need to learn the additional benefits. Also want to test sublime text.

I see recommendations for vim, but I wonder if that will make me too twitchy and will start to type before thinking.

So due to the amount of things I am trying to learn, I have delayed learning Ubuntu.

I know Windows 10 now has built-in bash capabilities but I wonder if there are other benefits I am missing with Linux and worth learning.

Thanks this is helpful to get started.

It’s not loading for me on my iPhone so I only saw the image from readme: are you using that remote looking gadget to type? And monitor is the iPhone?

Yeah thought of this as well.

Now I see why Jeff Bezos called him to run for president. Jeff also doesn’t believe in employees having bathroom breaks.

Would companies have to worry about their proprietary code being seen and used in a not-so-obvious way?

If some start up is working on some novel ML algorithms, that has some nice demos out in the public showcasing their work, I wonder if these bigger companies would take a peek at the source code and use some ideas from the algos for their ml products. This would prevent start-up from expanding into other areas.

I am new to this space but after reading about your goals for this AI, does this mean that most news sites are just copying facts off one other?

Secondly how does fact checking work in cases like this with AI? I would imagine fact checking would get progressively more difficult as more articles become AI generated.

My biggest fear is, we will have one AI generating a fake story and and acting as the root node, then other AIs creating news off those this node and we will have fake stories spread in various forms like branches creating misinformation.

What a lovely book. Thank your for sharing.

Ah. I haven’t played around with Pytorch custom layers enough so I am going to give it a try. I was initially trying to do it in keras but Keras was just using tensorflow layers for most operations so I couldn’t tweak the original tensorflow layers through keras easily.

Yeah I don’t want to write my own libraries but create new layers from the existing numerical algebra layers.

I was originally trying to create a new type of convolution layer in Keras and asked in their official google board, stackoverflow etc , after being stuck for a while but the answers I got weren’t solving the problem.

I haven’t tried creating custom layers in Pytorch yet though so maybe it’s possible to do so with Pytorch and can just learn C++ for other purposes.

If this is the case I would actually love to play around with C++ as a lot of software that Python wraps around is written is in it and it gives me chance to look a little deeper into the source code.

Interesting. I was going to go through their yearly conference talks to get an sense of Julia’s capabilities. JuliaCon2019 etc on youtube. Is that the best way?

Is C/C++ still worth learning if o want to create some models from scratch (new layers or different paradigms)

I hear that C++ is a nightmare to work with and was wondering if Rust,Julia, or even Swift would be worth learning instead.

I know Python but deep learning frameworks seem to be written in C++, so to come up with new layers I need to understand C++, which I was told has lot of peculiarities that takes time to pick up. Compiler isn’t also very user friendly (what I’ve read)

Yes. I agree as well. Also love the idea.

Here is the youtube link (if needed):

How they shutting it done if it’s open source. Is there anything that can be done?

Do you have a blog? I would love to read more about what you are doing and gain some knowledge as well.

Do you mind giving examples of what type of sites apps have gotten easy to build?

Something like Stackoverflow easy to build these days? What about marketplaces?

I’m still intimidated by webpages when I “Inspect” them with browser tools.

CSS especially looks a mess to me and it puts me off from learning web development.

Does this really work? First time I am hearing of this(would be estatic if it did).

This seems excessive if it’s going to hurt content creators. Content creation is not easy and some YouTubers need the sponsor money to continue creating work for the channel as ad money pays very little. Most channels I have visited tell you they are sponsored by so and so, which was making it easy to know which videos were sponsored and I’m assuming those are the ones this NN will pick up. Now the sponsors could potentially ask creators to become more creative and more deceptive.

On the other hand something like this inevitable and I will check out the project.

Thank you for sharing — the gut bacterial and two math books (proof ones and universal theory) caught my eye.

Thanks for this. Going to check it out.
