Oh God, the horror. Almost every time neural network library I've seen manages to obscure a very simple idea in piles of useless objects. "Neural networks" are just the composition of several nonlinear regressions.…

No matter which language you choose for productivity, I would start with the exercises in the Little Schemer or Little MLer. They're disarmingly simple while still challenging your brain to shift into a…
I think you're misunderstanding the role of "neural networks" in academia. NIPS has a lot of value to the machine learning and AI communities but, beyond vague inspiration, it has almost no connections to neuroscience.…
Is that a map of population density I see?

The machine learning lectures here are of fantastic quality. I hope this is the future of academia.
Other questions for PG: - Why does God allow evil? - Does P = NP? - How does it feel to be so gosh darn awesome?
Anything specific?

First of all, kudos on the turnaround. I think the most important thing to keep in mind is except for a few scattered geniuses, no one is inherently good at math. I know it sounds like a tired metaphor, but math really…
Yes.
An article on CSS layout with overflowing text and a search box several ems too long? (firefox 2.0.0.6 / linux)
I wish I could search the database without having to give you my email address. also: I find the high contrast a little painful to look at.
I just updated linkherd.com and urls are now stripped of spaces and underlines. Please let us know if you spot any problems.
Yeah, not dumb at all. It's on the to-do list, thanks.
I know this is supposed to be a startup echo chamber, but come on... I feel silly even contemplating spelling out the many reasons (beyond loss aversion) why not everyone starts their own company.
It's pretty well established in the psychology literature that the effects of money on happiness are relative. You're happy (for some short time) if you make more than you expected, and you're (often) happy if you make…
There is no such thing as public domain for software. If you simply give your software away, it's still your copyrighted work...just without a license for other people to use it. http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6225
I second zlib. It's slightly more restrictive than MIT, but in a very sensible way. I don't think preventing modified sources from masquerading as the original Arc, or maintaining author attribution will impede adoption…
Fantastic video, thank you!

Oh right, I'm an idiot.
