After having a little patience to digest the stuffy academic language I realized something: This is one of the craziest articles I have ever read. It is like the premise of a sci-fi novel where future states slowly creep along by dredging a

In my mind, the next big step will be the machine perception, specifically full scene understanding in vision. Computer vision has advanced very rapidly recently in sub-tasks like object recognition, scene segmentation, 3d-modeling from vid

Even if his criticisms of coveillance are correct, I still think the world is headed that way. Simply put, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. We passed a similar threshold with industrialization, and the consequent removal of

I use and enjoy the services that uber offers. That said, it uses dubious loopholes to evade the (misguided, anti-competitive) regulations taxi companies operate under. Letting uber evade the bad regulations instead of fixing them is a poor

Lecun's work on LeNet was pioneering, and basically set the template for deep learning. However, it's not as simple as him being "right all along"; incremental advances in neural net architectures, a lot of developments

The true value proposition of deep learning is not to avoid hand-coded features, but to make better use of scale in data and computational resources. More specifically, adding SIFT or edge detection to your raw pixel input will almost alway

VCs deal in illiquid, information-asymmetric markets where prices are directly negotiated, capital is locked up for an extended period, and deals are large enough that investment is forced to be "lumpy". If you could somehow inves

If Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt announced tomorrow that they would do everything in their power to prevent GOOG from EVER paying dividends, buying back stock, or selling to another company, then that would be catastrophic for th
