I can only speak about Firebase, but it gets very expensive very quickly.

> Because your existing data can limit the solution space, and it can distract you from finding the best approach. You’ll be stuck in a local optimum where you try to shoehorn every problem into the dataset you have available
Found this to be a very insightful quote, and something I haven't really thought about before.
mewwts | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to getting started in AI/ML?
Hey!
I'd suggest starting with this excellent course:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning
And then dive into competitions on kaggle.com.
Then following up with the deeplearning.ai specialization here: https://www.coursera.org/specializations/deep-learning
and the http://www.fast.ai/ courses.
You'll be up to speed in no time :)

I thought you had outsourced Vipps to India?

That never crossed my mind. Neat trick!

But wouldn’t that have a profound impact on the value of a currency? If all demand for it dissappeared except taxes what would happen to it’s value relative to other currencies? What would happen to trade?

I don't see why you would need too? Just lock your dependencies and be happy.
mewwts | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: How much do you sleep?
I try to get 8-9 hours a night. I usually go to bed at 10pm and wake at 7am. I wish I could sleep less, but I just feel terrible when I do. At least I hope that I'm more productive the time I'm actually awake.

So how's this going to perform for Deep Learning?

This is insane. Extremely well done!
mewwts | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What happened to the ORM?
I've been battling a lot of cases where I don't want to duplicate SQL statements in my application. For example I have a query defined which I want to add a WHERE clause to. How do you handle these cases elegantly in code?
mewwts | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What happened to the ORM?
How do you in practice derive the data layer from the schema? Somehow parsing the schema in the application code?

Perhaps something like dp/dt? #points/(time of last point - time of first point)

Hello from Oslo
Would be interesting to hear about what you do machine learning for in the public sector. Could you share a bit?

Hah, yeah, although they're in court so it's not _that_ brilliant

Very cool tool. I work on similar stuff, and I wrote this blog post last year. http://bytes.schibsted.com/price-car-data/
With time most models will see an exponential decay, according to my analysis. But some will, of course, decay faster than others.

Good point which I missed. I think this upgrade is substantial enough to be a 'Show HN'.
mewwts | 9 years ago | on: A monthly release cadence for React Native
React Native is great. Hands down, so cool to be able to go from developing websites to native apps. I also appreciate reading the release notes and seeing new features and fixes being released so frequently.
I do however experience real issues when upgrading. We tried going from 0.38 to 0.39, but getting the xcode project files to merge correctly has proved difficult for us, a couple of newbies. The new react-native-git-upgrade makes it easier to see the conflicts, but it is still hard for us to make it work. Does HN have any wisdom to share?

One of the reasons they do this is to fight pollution. Your solution doesn't have the benefit of reducing traffic in an area?
