Good point. If you haven’t read “They’re Made out of Meat”, you’ll find this short story very amusing: http://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/thinki...

Same here! I was going with the assumption that standard environments are going away since they haven't been updated for years.

I think you got it backwards. Which seems to be a fairly common mistake because, intuitively, we tend to associate the amount of work to the amount of value. In Bitcoin, and other PoW blockchains, the protocol dynamically adjusts the diffic

One idea you might want to consider is to create a global function, let’s call it h() and pass all your human readable strings through it, like so h(“hello world”). This function, simply returns the same string. This is more explicit than r

Actually I prefer standardizing on double quotes and I do that in my code on a regular basis. I know some people use a mix, sometimes single quotes and sometimes double quotes, which is fine, but I prefer consistency in this case.

You can now do it quicker with CTRL+Shift+V (Windows) and Option+Shift+Command+V (Mac). Both will paste without the formatting.

Does Swift have a large community beyond iOS apps? Last I used it was years ago, right after it was introduced by Apple. I'm curious if it has found growth in other areas.

> Construction of this data set consumed millions of compute hours It's great to see such datasets shared publicly. I hope it achieves the intended purpose and spurs innovation in protein folding.

I’m very curious about the use of such cloud finder. But, to answer your question, the Mask RCNN model would be useful if you want to identify individual clouds. As in, find clouds surrounded by empty sky. Or, for example, you want to find

I don't see this flag on my version of Chrome (64.0 on Mac). Are you on the beta branch?

Yes, totally agree. TF is solid and it’s still my goto tool, but the API has a very low elegance score, to put it nicely. Clearly the team has a lot of brillian engineers, but they’re missing the high level sense of design (yes, APIs do nee

Not only the language, but have at least one line that says what this is. I can guess that it’s a hosted notebook service, but I can’t tell how it’s different from Jupyter Notebook. Is the difference in the language it uses, or are there ot

It gets worse, actually. People often, accidentally, click on the pen icon after highlight some text and end up highlighting that text permanently for all readers. And you, as the writer of the post, have no ability to remove that highlight

I do it to mark where I'm at in the post if I need to switch to something else temporarily. Makes it easier to continue from where I left of.

Same here. I had a movie available to me on Prime but I couldn't broadcast it to Chromecast and I didn't want to watch it on the small phone screen, so I had to buy it on YouTube.

Thanks! Done. Although I hope I was clear that my comment is general and not specific to the topic at hand. I just think people should share the facts but be careful about making assumptions.

This is a general comment not specific to the topic at hand. If you have facts to share then do so. But if you 'feel' that someone has an ulterior motive and you share it in a public forum then many people might take it as fact or

This architecture is optimized for accuracy rather than speed. The official paper reports 200ms inferencing time per image on a GPU. This implementation is likely a bit slower because we use Python in a couple of layers. This is easy to opt

Evaluation code against MS COCO is included in the repository, both for bounding boxes and segmentation masks so it should be easy to run (but takes a long time). We should publish more details, though. Thanks for bringing it up. Our implem

LOL. I'm guessing you're sarcastically jabbing at Slack for the known issue that their desktop app uses a lot of memory.

Tip for the project lead: A quick way to lose half of the early adopters is to release a library without Python 3 support. Luckily, fixing this is easy and shouldn't take more than a day or two. And the ROI is high if your goal is wide

The nice thing about Python is that it's intuitive and feels natural. To that end, this syntax for defining functions is nice, and I would love to see it implemented in native Python: f(x) = x^2 + 1 But most of the other ideas

I'm not sure I'm following. Are you saying that using supervised learning is the wrong approach here? What would you use instead?

Author here. This first part is simple by design. It's targeted to those getting started in the field.
