Not every requirement in the req is really real; we're looking for both less and more experienced folks.

ajschumacheron Gaussian Processes Are Not So Fancy

Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback, and thanks especially for the typo catch! It should be fixed now!

ajschumacheron Gaussian Processes Are Not So Fancy

Thanks! I wrote that post! Another friend pointed out yesterday this other post about Gaussian Processes: https://www.jgoertler.com/visual-exploration-gaussian-proces... I think that post has some fun visualizations for showing how different kernels work, but I tend to prefer my explanation. Would love to get more eyes on it and feedback specifically about whether I have any mistakes in there!

ajschumacheron A Visual Exploration of Gaussian Processes

I like the visualizations for showing how different kernels work, but I tend to prefer my explanation of GPs:

Would love to get more feedback as well!

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

I presented a version of this at a meetup! Presentation and supporting materials here: http://planspace.org/20160629-presenting_hello_tensorflow/

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

O'Reilly tells me that this issue has been resolved as of last Friday. Does it seem better now?

O'Reilly tells me that this issue has been resolved as of last Friday. Does it look better for you now?

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Thanks! There aren't any firm plans, but we are thinking about what might make sense.

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Thanks! I didn't want to name names in the comparison to other frameworks, but I was thinking mostly of Caffe, which doesn't have any install path as simple as just a `pip install`. Other DL frameworks would be things like torch, theano, etc.

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

I'm curious too! I don't know yet whether they'll pass that info to me, and then I don't know whether I would be able to pass on any further. I imagine at least some of the analytics are considered proprietary/competitive info. But we can see some public things like votes here, number of tweets, etc.

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Thanks for the feedback! I'll pass along to the O'Reilly team and see if there's anything they can do.

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Hi! Good to hear from you here! :)

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Thank you! Things are going great in DC - I happen to be in NYC for ICML this week though, where things are also going pretty great! :)

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Thanks! May objects not bring you any unwanted gifts! :)

ajschumacheron Hello, Tensorflow

Wow! I was going to post this but here it is already! I wrote (with a lot of help) the article there. I also jotted down some notes on the process of writing it with O'Reilly in case anybody's interested in that side of things: http://planspace.org/20160619-writing_with_oreilly/

ajschumacheron A Great Python Book Explains Hash Tables

Thanks! I think you're right.

A lot of "learn to code" materials take the approach of just being "a Python book" (for example) with the result being that people don't get any CS background.

* Where is there an introductory book on CS, separated from some language? * What beginner wants to learn abstract CS, separated from some language?

I think I like the book because it combines the CS with the Python - it isn't just a summary of syntax with exercises.
