Why switch? I use Ruby, when I can and Python when I can't.

Would really love to see ruby forks of popular ml libs.

Or is it because Python is better perfomance-wise?

Can somebody extract the parts where he is actually talking about technologies, concepts being used and potential technical breakthroughs? (... ''breaktrhough'' ..)

Yes absolutely! A platform where not only the answers are praised, but also curious questions.

Do you check the stove 3,4 times when leaving the house? Are you sometimes anxious, that you didn't properly shut the door after haveng left the house?

I have this theory where people who do these things are good programmers, since they will check their commit a lot of times until it is perfect to push. But maybe this is more about mastery than having an aptitude for it. :)

So, it's like HN?.

On a more serious note:

Twitter has a large following of powerful/smart people who don't leave over night. Sure, over time these people could leave, but why would they? What would a twitter competitor offer that twitter can't offer?

Me too!

I guess the OP just got used to reading notation and now thinks it's natural for him to read notation.

They are probably doing the credit checks themselves, by aggregating a bunch of public and or private data and doing the analysis on their own.

Life is a game, I pity those thinking life is a story or movie, since that's quite a passive life to live.

Really nice! An animation for turning the cards and the displaying of the back of the card would be a useful additional feature I guess.

Good times to buy into $TWTR ;).

Considering the current drop in value of the TSLA share, would this be a good opportunity to grab some of them?

Bummer, I'm loosing trust in Amazon every time I'm browsing and comparing some products when I see clear indications for fake reviews (all reviews by reviewer written on the same day, etc.).

> From my point of view, the chap blatantly stole the code.

It was open source code he slightly modified. The piece says that some parts where directly related to the Goldman Sachs high-frequency trading code base, but utterly useless when taken out of context.

What makes you believe that he "blatantly stole the code"?

Fuck, now I'm angry. Is the story continued somewhere?

While I kind of participated in the current AI/.ai hype, I'm starting to get really sick of hearing about another new application which "talks to you in natural language" or makes "Websites That Design Themselves".

The truth is, where not there yet and these people try to make one believe we are.

Sure, some may argue that these applications are indeed kind of intelligent and thus can be called A.I., but by this definition even Amazons recommendation algorithm is A.I.

I'm pretty sure that applications which "talk to you in natural language" or make "Websites That Design Themselves" are appealing to some at the moment but I doubt they will be successful in the long run.

It's actually fairly simple, but not usable for 99% of web users.

Back to entering passwords (or passphrases for that matter)... Yay!

Why so serious?

> This is what the brain does

Good to know you know what our brain does, science hasn't figured out yet but you have...

When I hear about Hawking or Musk etc. being feared of AI, I always think about how cats & dogs could have also been scared facing human evolution. But yet here they still are, obviously smarter than us since they don't do shit but sleep all day ;).

Java #1, C# #3. Really conservative of you, Mashable.

Having watched some of the latest pilots from Amazon Studios I could imagine them making a blockbuster movie far better than Hollywood could ever dream of.

IMO Amazon Studios are really great at making art in the same spirit of launching a start up. Fast feedback loops can only make things better, so why not the movies.

Why not? IMO this could be a huge opportunity for some people, since the expectations aren't as high as in a paid gig.

nice! :)

It's "Currently" not "Actually" and "founded" not "found".

The chrome extension will be available within the next days, pending approval by google.

Nice, I'm in! If it just wasn't such a pain to travel from Remscheid to cologne with "Deutsche Bahn".
