Thank you thank you! I love you

Second this, mobx is awesome

Brilliant insights

As an MD and a software developer, I vote the machines.

ok, somebody go train a generative network now

Hey, if you need any help expanding the site, I'd be game to help out!

haha hey Jash! should just find you some day after work and show you =)

Been using this a lot recently, love it!

Yes, Detroit is awesome, please move there

People are insecure

Released an app with react native recently and had an extremely pleasant experience throughout! Two thumbs way way up!

I wish I had something eloquent to say here. But what I've realized that the online world is not any lesser or greater than the real one, it's just a completely different one with it's own social dynamics. People impart virual actions on each other with real consequences.

Otherwise I don't think I have special insight into people's morals and ethics. People remain complicated. You just get a better chance to see them in a different light when you expose them to a different medium.

Can't wait to see how people will behave in VR worlds, if it were to take off ;)

Haha I'm the owner of the site. Surprised it made it to hacker news. There's a whole world out there with countless stories unravelling that the naked eye can't see. I'm very happy to have had a special glimpse into one of these worlds.

Cool, me too :) would be interested to hear more on what you are working on if you are in the city. (SF)

Is there any substantial apps written in Polymer yet?

somewhere out there, karpathy is grinning

It's deep recurrent neural nets. It has made incredible progress in this area.

Not to mention CAR T-Cell for ALL. And anti-PD(L)1 for melanoma. Hemonc is truly innovating like no other field in medicine at the moment...

I second this. In fact, the big secret is that all doctors use this as reference these days in clinical practice settings, while in the backroom on a computer. It is literally the doctor's goto wikipedia.

Somebody go train a recurrent neural net to generate some random recipes for us =)

Thanks, I'll watch that tonight!

I am similarly very bullish on this field, even for what I once thought were incredible claims that it can eventually understand the semantics behind documents, do question and answering, and even reason.

What blew my mind was this lecture, given by Hinton https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8i61jl8OE3XdHRCSkV1VFNqTWc...

The main idea is that reasoning is just a sequence of 'thought vectors' that can be encoded within a recurrent neural network.

Sounded almost outlandish to me until I watched Richard Socher's lectures and started to understand that words can be represented as vectors, and that these vectors can be then encoded into new vectors of even higher representation. 'Thought vectors' may not be so outlandish after all.

anyways, that's not my point. i'm saying deep learning for image analysis has been a huge success, and people should explore ways to apply this success to medical imaging.

but just for your info, neural networks are slowly being generalized to a lot of other challenges. look around for topics on recurrent neural networks, memory networks, reinforcement learning, etc etc. i don't think we've fully finished exploring the many ways neural networks can help solve life's challenges just yet.

Yeah, with the renaissance that image analysis is undergoing in the last few years with DNNs, to say anything is impossible is showing a lack of imagination.

I follow the progress in deep learning too, Radiologists have been close to out of a job since the 80's, but this time may be different. Deep conv nets have basically allowed computers to surpass us in identifying visual patterns. The bottleneck is just the training data.

Segmentation is a form of classification (classifying contiguous pixels) that deep learning can tackling. Here is an example http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/deeplearningwinsbraincontest...

Yeah, this is my gut feeling too. Unspoken is the fact that productivity tools like Asana, Trello, Slack are innovations to replace management.

Hi, could you point us to some papers on this subject? I have never heard of circular RNAs put into clinical use.

Haha, I am a good friend of Omar's and the referenced physician-coder in the story. While he made it sound as though I had avoided healthcare altogether since graduating, I really did put in the effort! Part of me felt like I was obligated to put in some time given I spent half a decade in my 20's learning medicine. I worked for Listrunner in the past year and had a lot of fun combining my software development talents and medical knowledge.

after seeing the anti-Uber protests, why would anyone in their right minds go do a startup in France?
