Ask HN: How to Discover Deep Learning Research Labs?

TL:DR How do you find labs/centres working on your area of interest ?I started reading DL research papers a few months ago. Before that I used solely mooc materials or textbooks. I have found that reading every recent paper from a topic is not possible and discovering decent projects is almost impossible.Recently I discovered : HanLab e.g. https://hanlab.mit.edu/projects/ofa/It's decent but...

Ask HN: Are there any Public Knowledge Databases?

I have seen some folks selling their PKM databases on gumroad. Usually using Roam Research. I think its a wonderful way to learn about some topic or discover new subjects. Think of it as an ever growing online encyclopedia. Imagine crowd sourced databases about biotech, defi & other topics. Are there any existing solutions?

Yea. But why? I mean it seems quite aggressive as well. Bashing SF & praising miami religiously and more like a political campaign than a marketing campaign.

I wish that's a joke lmao

Ask HN: Is Everyone Moving to Miami?

Recently my whole twitter feed is filled with ppl announcing moving to Miami from SF. As an outsider I only knew about Silicon Valley and followed eminent ppl from tech and VC.What's going on? Is this a "mass migration"? Something ideological? A movement? Is this about Joe Rogan moving to Austin and Tesla leaving California?How will this effect tech and innovation in US and the world?

where?

That's L2 sir. L2.

technology allowing viewers to watch episodes either horizontally or vertically

What da fak!

It's more of a "Image Processing ML Projects" you should implement in whim of showcasing the same on your resume and land an ML job without a PhD.

The whole browser extension ecosystem seems to be purposefully bloated with such loopholes allowing such backdoors. I remember seeing a clg presentation, "a browser is a literal nuke you carry on yourself, whatever be the ... or claims as of sandboxing, you're already dead" - loosely quoted.

mentioning Paul Graham. not mentioning anyone else.

Two different things. PG has inspired many. So, I don't think there he needs a "sensitivity reader" for a blog post.

Interesting. (゚ヮ゚) You seem to know well that search is beyond ranking and retrieval. [1]

> I’d start off with not doing state of the art because it’s overkill for an “MVP”.

Can a search engine "MVP" sustain without using sota methods/practices?

What should be the initial scale for a search MVP for which it just works? In the modern realm.

just a note (you can ignore) : I am actually a believer of iterations in development and incremental optimisations. But even a minimum viable product should be able to work.

what is elastisearch? IDK ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EDIT #1: you're cool. but i really dont know what elastisearch is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And a google "search" hurts at the moment.

EDIT #2 :

> multiple people respond and say that Lucene basically does the same thing Google does and that Lucene is poised to surpass Google's capabilities in the next few years. It's been long enough since then that we can look back and say that Lucene hasn't improved so much that Google is in danger from a startup that puts together a Lucene cluster. [1]
