Point taken. Still, as far as risk to RH is concerned - if this kicks off a change via their customers, regulators, or legal action the change is probably not in their favor.

No, its not really the same - but the parent is "planning to have a dabble with NLP and machine learning" so my guess is HuggingFace/SpaCy/PyTorch/Tensorflow/FastAI are more the consideration than touching CUDA

If you want to dabble; use the cloud. Colab is free. Colab Pro is $10/mo. GPU instances give you access to better hardware and don't lock up your machine for hours/days at a time.

I'm with you. First real forays into FE that didn't involve slicing PSDs to tables were in Bootstrap and Foundation in ~2013. The responsive grid those frameworks delivered seemed magical at the time, but you got the sense that th

I like to think of arxiv as the holding area for anything that COULD be peer reviewed. Advantage is we get to see stuff now, not after it gets accepted at by a conference or journal. Disadvantage, we have to filter on our own. Twitter and

I’m in favor of there being more and better resources to learn anything out there, but every time I see a deep learning 101 type material all I can think is “who is this for?”. In ~July 2016 I was at a presentation by NVidia at GW in DC. Th

Goodfellow’s book on deep learning[0] is a good starter - the first chapters give a solid overview of ML theory as well. Elements of Statistical Learning is another. [0] http://www.deeplearningbook.org/
