Can't emphasize this enough.

I used to eat at Subway, every single day and one day I stopped going there. I have never been able to go there again.

Passion does not turn you into a machine, you are still a human and your brain and body has limits.

Sounds accurate to me..

Transferring 1TB at a sustained rate of 1MB/s will take about 11.5 days.

Little bit of nitpicking: If x = y = 1, then value = 0. I wonder why he didn't just choose value to be 100y/x.

Sorry my bad. I was under that assumption since I saw that the hard deadline for review questions were today, so I thought that must hold for the programming assignment.

Re:Andrew Ng and the Quest for the New AI on Tuesday May 07, 2013 @04:03PM (#5670401)

I took this one https://www.coursera.org/course/ml and it started on Apr 22 and ends around July 1st I think. So not sure what course you are talking about.

Re:Andrew Ng and the Quest for the New AI on Tuesday May 07, 2013 @02:03PM (#5669658)

I have to blame you, because now I had to take the course in coursera! I always wanted to learn machine learning. Better late than never!

Re:Andrew Ng and the Quest for the New AI on Tuesday May 07, 2013 @02:02PM (#5669652)

Haha me too late to the party. I just joined. Frantically watching the video lectures since the assignments are due today (hard deadline)!

I wonder how much BigQuery quota did you use while testing this stuff?

Does the traffic from this appear same as P2P traffic? I think my company might block my internet access if it finds out that I am doing p2p sharing; and I don't want that to happen.

Re:Fast Database Emerges from MIT Class, GPUs and Student’s Invention on Tuesday April 23, 2013 @02:39AM (#5593627)

Can you tell me whether the main reason for speedup is because of using GPU, or do other factors also play in (such as new algorithms)?

There are just too many pseudo-intellectuals in this planet. This guy Scott Steinberg was mentioned and so I went to his website to see that whether he is really a 'stay ahead of the curve' kind of guy. There is a video in his front page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C... and after reading the first comment I realized that it is indeed a fake video with no audience. There was pretty much no content in the video too.

And I see so many people claiming themselves to be futurists, leaders blah blah..
