Can't emphasize this enough.

I used to eat at Subway, every single day and one day I stopped going there. I have never been able to go there again.

Passion does not turn you into a machine, you are still a human and your brain and body has limits.


I did the same thing. Six months straight. I now haven't been in years.


to Subway?


Yes


> In another display of their intent to buy the entire Internet

Sounds accurate to me..


Transferring 1TB at a sustained rate of 1MB/s will take about 11.5 days.


Little bit of nitpicking: If x = y = 1, then value = 0. I wonder why he didn't just choose value to be 100y/x.


I suspect the log is in there to give you points for experience in interviewing. I would argue that `log(x+1)` would make more sense, to avoid that 0 issue.


I have to blame you, because now I had to take the course in coursera! I always wanted to learn machine learning. Better late than never!


Haha me too late to the party. I just joined. Frantically watching the video lectures since the assignments are due today (hard deadline)!


Okay, now you got me scared. The hard deadlines for all my assignments are on July 8th 8:59AM (that's CEST, so it's probably July 7th in PST.)


I took this one https://www.coursera.org/course/ml and it started on Apr 22 and ends around July 1st I think. So not sure what course you are talking about.


Well, this is weird. I'm taking the exact same course and here's what I see for the first programming assignment: http://i.imgur.com/GyEwcUG.png (same with review questions)


Sorry my bad. I was under that assumption since I saw that the hard deadline for review questions were today, so I thought that must hold for the programming assignment.


I wonder how much BigQuery quota did you use while testing this stuff?


Heh, nearly 80GB... and that's with mostly testing out the queries on the smaller publicdata:samples.github_timeline dataset.


Does the traffic from this appear same as P2P traffic? I think my company might block my internet access if it finds out that I am doing p2p sharing; and I don't want that to happen.


Can you tell me whether the main reason for speedup is because of using GPU, or do other factors also play in (such as new algorithms)?


There are just too many pseudo-intellectuals in this planet. This guy Scott Steinberg was mentioned and so I went to his website to see that whether he is really a 'stay ahead of the curve' kind of guy. There is a video in his front page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=C... and after reading the first comment I realized that it is indeed a fake video with no audience. There was pretty much no content in the video too.

And I see so many people claiming themselves to be futurists, leaders blah blah..


Yeah I almost felt bad for the guy as the video was clearly something he paid to make. But I guess as he is "Thrilled to be giving keynote speech at Arizona Board of Nursing's 2014 CNA Educators Retreat!" Someone seems to think it is worth paying him to say basic stuff.

I guess fake it 'till you (sorta) make it is not dead.


Looks like he lost about 5,000 followers in a day.

I think he had like 24k and now he has 19k.


I thought he was a pretty good speaker but I do see what you are saying. Considering that there's no real audience, it seems like he's not trying to fool anyone, it's just to give an idea of his skills as a speaker, it's a resume piece.
