Then why's it worth discussion?

Why is there no "general" deep learning algorithm?!

Re:Ask HN: Needs advice on learning NLP on Monday February 20, 2017 @06:40AM (#13686484)
I also need help; can someone point me to the latest results with NLP?

I want to build an AI powered note-taker.

Does someone have an ELI5 for frequentist vs. bayesian?
The key to understanding is drilling the backpropagation algorithm and being able to visualize the application of the multivariate chain rule as a computational graph.

EDIT: You won't understand until you do this yourself using pen and paper. It's a pain.

EDIT2: This nuts and bolts tutorial will help

Also Australian, and this entire story seems absurd to me. I guess I've never worked in an office with more than 50 people, so don't get the full gamut of human interactions.
Does anyone else think startups are just incredibly boring?

Not really in a custom ASIC in an embedded environment.

As a C programmer working with a large codebase, I have come to HATE callbacks.

Seriously, the worst feeling ever is tracing through a huge function tree, only to run into function pointer dereference. Then you have to go on a wild goose chase to find out when, where and what it will be assigned to.

STATIC TYPES PEOPLE.

congrats to planet labs, currently the hottest place to work in SV.

Disgraceful behavior, but would no doubt be condoned here as excellent hustle.

ELI5 for someone not privy to this debate?
This is CPU not a GPU

Bitcoin core team. Ostracized him for forking BitcoinXT, impugned his reputation, etc.

Why can't someone sympathize and be well-wisher for the nation of their ancestors?
