I was starting to look at the same thing. I used to do a bit of Django development (5ish years ago) and things seemed to have changed a good amount with the tooling / frontend. Does anyone have an opinionated stack they like with Djan

I don't do anything low latency so its mostly the common scientific python stack -- numpy, pandas, sklearn, etc. Mostly linux, lots of Spark, some R and C#. We're really flexible on what we can use to solve our problems but the

Something I've been thinking about recently is that there should be a site that only takes the "good" products from amazon and displays them for different categories - maybe only the top 20 or so. If i'm looking for an o

Lazy Prices [1] is a paper I was looking at for a while (I work on a Quant Research team) that does this in a simple way and the authors had good results. It takes the changes in language in some key sections of financial fillings as signa

https://twiecki.io/blog/2016/06/01/bayesian-deep-learning/ This is a good example. There’s not much info I’ve been able to find - I’d be interested if anyone else has a solid tutorial.

I agree, it seems like no help just to list a formula to memorize. If someone knows enough linear algebra to understand what the formula represents, they can do the derivation. This link [1] is a good one if anyone is interested. [1] https

I asked an AWS solutions architect about this specifically and they said they had no plans to implement it yet (that they knew of). I’d like to see someone offer this too

I've seen a few well know prop trading firms that are trading cryptocurrencies as well (Jump, DRW, probably others) and there doesn't seem to be too much talk of that. Goldman lends credibility and pretty much everyone has heard

Yes, the types of photos will have a huge impact. eBay most definitely has an advantage in that regard.

I've been building an automated service very similar to this for womens fashion (mens fashion soon) in my free time over the past 5 months using deep learning. The goal is to index existing items, and then expand to items that are no

For those who use Tensorflow regularly: What 'type' of tensorflow do you recommend for a project starting today -- tf.slim, tf.contrib.keras, 'raw' tensorflow, keras with tensorflow? I am building a production model so w

Maybe you could clear up something I've been wondering as someone new to cryptocurrencies. In the ICO, Bancor exchanges their own, newly created coins for Ethereum and the 'investors' are hoping that the new Bancor coins val

It's definitely possible with a masters in SE. There are many types of quant (see the markjoshi.com link above) - it will be easiest for you to become a quant developer with your background in software engineering. This will be much m

I love this quote. For accuracy purposes, it is from Ronnie Coleman, former Mr. Olympia and goes more like "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift no heavy-ass weights...I do it though"

Somewhat related is this memo by Howard Marks that talks about the liquidity of ETFs (starts on page 6 -- the whole thing is a great read). When the market sharply drops and there is no liquidity for sellers, it might be even worse for hol

I was listening to NPR a few months ago and they actually had a bit on tracking Twitter for gang activity and the ethics behind scanning twitter. Here's a link to the story [1]. One of the products they outline is called BlueJay [2]
