li4ick··on Show HN: Vector – A High-Performance Log and Metric Router Written in Rust
I wonder how popular posts on hackernews would be if people didn't mention "written in rust" in the title.
li4ick··on Stadia Founder's Edition
I guess in terms of game development, Stadia will be like GitHub. As a service though, we'll see. Their reveal stream kept crashing, and there was noticeable lag during their initial GDC presentation.
li4ick··on Valve has mutated from a game developer into a financial middleman
Oh my god! I've seen so many videos with Yanis, and I also knew that Valve had a Greek economist in their midst, but I never linked the two. A lot of things make sense now.
li4ick··on Productivity Is About Attention Management
Microsoft is investing quite heavily in generating code from requirements. So far, iirc, they're able to generate simple programs no bigger than 10 lines of code. A good start, though: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/learning-sourc...
li4ick··on Yann LeCun, Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio win Turing Award
By that same logic Google deserves part of Vint Cerf's Turing Award.
li4ick··on Yann LeCun, Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio win Turing Award
Although 3b1b's videos are awesome, his NN videos are heavily inspired by this: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/. Even the code on his github page is taken from there.
li4ick··on Yann LeCun, Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio win Turing Award
I think Schmidhuber should be up there. LSTMs are everywhere, not just NLP. The latest Starcraft 2 bot from Deepmind uses LSTMs extensively in its architecture.
li4ick··on Fearless Concurrency: Clojure, Rust, Pony, Erlang and Dart
For those of you who want to test multiple concurrency models, I can highly recommend Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks from Pragmatic.
li4ick··on Racket v7.2
Naughty Dog uses it:

li4ick··on The Yoda of Silicon Valley
That picture with Knuth and TeX is really beautiful to me.
li4ick··on Fast nnn file browser v1.6 released
"The missing terminal file browser for X"??? What about ranger?
li4ick··on I’m an Ex-Google Woman Tech Leader and I’m Sick of Our Approach to Diversity
>Sooner or later, some such opinions get out there

Very carefully chosen words, regarding the Memo.

li4ick··on Jeff Dean’s Lecture for YC AI [video]
Researchers use Tensorflow for backend only + Keras for implementation. However, PyTorch and Caffe are much more popular among researchers. I personally enjoy PyTorch a lot.
li4ick··on Black Book of Graphics Programming, Special Edition (1997)
You shouldn't read this book to learn modern practices. You should read it to improve your way of thinking about problems. The book is timeless if you think about it this way.
li4ick··on `Bro culture' at startups keeps talented women out: Harvey Mudd President
I don't understand this sometimes. Do they want to reeducate the entire world, just because of some demographic? Let them readjust to me, not the other way around. It's not based on gender, there's plenty of people that hate this culture, and that's normal. What do you propose, eliminate it entirely?
li4ick··on Reasons to Switch from Chrome to Firefox
You'd have to install the TestPilot extension first, and then the Containers addon. https://testpilot.firefox.com/experiments
li4ick··on Russia’s Science Community Reboots
The problem with the Soviet education is the assignment of credit to the inventors. They used to teach that the phone, TV, radio were all invented in USSR. People didn't know any better.
li4ick··on Citi lists Netflix, Tesla as potential takeover targets for Apple
"They have hired people we've fired," Musk said. "We always jokingly call Apple the 'Tesla Graveyard.' If you don't make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple. I'm not kidding."

Yeah, not a chance.

li4ick··on Spam detection in the physical world
Pretty elaborate for an April Fools' joke.
li4ick··on Show HN: Kite, copilot for programmers, available for Python
No GNU/Linux support? Well, remind me when you do.
li4ick··on Google is hiring a head of Republican political advertising
So? Does the word "Republican" not fit in your world view?
li4ick··on Vimperator: a Vim-like Firefox
The one and only reason that stops me from using Vimperator is the smooth scrolling feature, which is built into Vimium. Does anybody know how to get the same behaviour into Vimperator?
li4ick··on 2016 will be one second longer
Just to give time to somebody else to die.
li4ick··on Google DeepMind AI destroys human expert in lip reading competition
HAL9000 isn't too far away it seems...
