News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I would highly recommend going through François chollet's Deep Learning with Python[1] book. The technical concepts are explained very well and since you have gone through the Modern AI book you won't have an issue understanding them. It's a very hands-on book and by the time you finish it you will be able to use Deep Neural Nets to solve many problems.

I would also recommend going through the scikit-learn documentation. Some of the tutorials/examples there are pretty good.

At the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal learning style. For me the thing that worked was to go through the above mentioned steps and then find a problem I was interested in and try to solve it using my newly found skills. That way you will discover new tools and methods.

Finally, the Deep Learning [2] book is also very good but I would not recommend it to a beginner. It's better to use it when you have a basic understanding of Machine Learning and you want to gain a deeper understanding of the concepts.

yes, thought exactly the same!

This is a brand new rocket. The reused rocket will be used for the SES-10 mission.
I suggest that you follow this Twitter account: http://twitter.com/GreekAnalyst

Summarizing in a post the Greek problem is almost impossible, but I would say that the referendum is a terrible idea, especially at this moment.

New Year's Resolutions

With 2015 just around the corner(or already in 2015 in some countries) I would like to see what people are hoping to accomplish in the new year.Please keep it in 1 resolution per person(the most important), so it's easier to go through them.

Ask HN: When should I apply for a patent(and if I should)?

Hi,I would like to ask you when it's better to file for a patent. I have an idea for a system(software+hardware) and I could turn this into a prototype in roughly 6 months.The question is, should I apply for a patent now, with only the design on papers or should I wait till I have a working prototype?And a bigger question, is there any point in applying for a patent in general? I mean, if you...

thanks! will definitely take a look at it

ASK HN: How to program a quadrotor?

Hello HN!I am here to pick your brains and ask if any of you has experience programming a quad rotor. We(a team of undergraduate students) want to make our own autopilot and we would like people to tell us how to get off the ground. The resources on the internet are not in one place(or even two) and it would save us a lot of time if someone could pinpoint us to some sites to read.Thanks a lot!

You are right, there is nothing wrong with that. However, imho this app objectified girls and I highly doubt that anyone would use it. If you want to see boobs, you can go to a porn site, no need to have a separate app on your phone.

Again, I get the point that you are trying to make. I just don't think it's appropriate to present such an app or behave like that in front of a few thousand people.

Re:TechCrunch is full of it on Sunday September 08, 2013 @07:34PM (#6350990)
I think I will have to disagree with you in some parts.

The fact that the majority of the coders are guys doesn't mean that it's ok to create an app which shows boobs and then present it to a few thousand people. Although, I am sure those guys did it for a laugh, they did not understand the repercussions of their actions. With your logic it would be acceptable to put porn movies on a screen, just because guys like porn.

What would you say if the app displayed "male parts"?

I am European and I am pretty sure that if that happened here the response would be more fierce. A porn app is not liberalizing sex, it's just making things worst.

Finally, a business which succumbs to the desires of its clients, when those desires are exorbitant, is simply not a business to trust.

If you have basic understanding of JS, I think you will be fine. The learning curve for AngularJS is steep so you are going to spend a lot of time going over new material.

As soon as you are able to write a basic program in JS then jump right to AngularJS.

Tkae a look at this book as well. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596805531.do It's really helpful.

First of all you have to be an expert programmer, able to bring in reality your own ideas. Then you will have to do a lot of marketing research and then look at some big companies(like Google, FB,etc.) and try to understand why the became big. Then look at some unsuccessful companies and try to understand why they failed. Hope that helps!

Study and maybe you will get lucky. There are no shortcuts to success.
I think it would have been more reasonable. I was baffled for a moment.
Did you just reply to your own question?
