Hakka Labs

Thanks so much for replying. My concern wasn't about permission -- I'm far from protective of my talk; hey, more distribution is great! -- so much as it was the appearance of the site. (And even the video -- you overlaid your logo on every frame of the video.) To me, http://www.hakkalabs.co/ looks a great deal like a blog. When I see a blog -- particularly with a name and photo of the author on an article -- I naturally assume that author either created that content specifically for that blog, or authorized/contributed that content specifically to that blog. If that's not the case, I think the blog needs to make it very clear that they are republishing content taken from elsewhere, without the author's knowledge. There's nothing wrong with that (assuming you have permission); it's just about making it clear that that is what's actually happening. (Underneath, it's about the perception that I am somehow "contributing to" or "endorsing" Hakka Labs by posting content I created there. I'm not saying anything bad about Hakka Labs at all -- I simply don't know enough to judge either way! -- but IMHO it's not cool to create that perception without the author's knowledge. It'd be like a startup GitHub clone suddenly hosting my open-source code under an 'ageweke' account with my name and photo: while they absolutely have every right to do that according to the licenses involved, it gives the perception that I'm a user of their site and uploaded my code there...when, in fact, I've…

Sounds interesting. May want to check out what these guys are doing for collaboration and ideas: http://www.hakkalabs.co/

Very cool. Congrats, guys! This was a great talk - http://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/how-rethinkdb-works/

Electronifie NYC. Open Source Loving Node.js Fanatic Engineer http://bit.ly/13rU1dp We're building the world's first corporate bond trading platform written in Node.js. Why is that interesting? Turns out the corporate bond market is a 10 Trillion dollar market that still works like it did in 1978, with traders calling each other up on the phone. Modernization in equities never made it to the bond market, all the biggest players are calling for new solutions (http://bit.ly/1tLXFZq), and that's exactly what we're building. The incumbents in this space are big, slow moving enterprises with six to twelve month release cycles and a fear of Open Source software. We use cutting edge tools push out updates and new features within days and are releasing our own tools back to the community: https://github.com/electronifie, https://hakkalabs.co/articles/eventually-consistent-distributed-system… Want to solve amazingly exciting problems with a small team of very experienced engineers? Want to help disrupt FinTech by leveraging OpenSource tools and running circles around the competition? Come join us.

It'd be cool if this pushed to slack or something like that or anywhere really. Like a daily commit. Sort of like what hakka logs used to be: https://www.hakkalabs.co/logs/ "Log anything that has to do with building software or a software business. Are you learning a new language? Log it. Debugging that side project? Log it. Adding features to your killer startup? Log it. Be as specific as you like. The more specific you are the more specific your matches will be."

You can use Go and compile it to JavaScript. I've been doing that the last year. I gave a talk about it recently if you want to see. https://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/getting-started-gopherjs

What would you like to know? I assume you've already seen the hinton coursera class[3]? Disclaimer: author. I put some hints in to practice here in my framework[1]. This is generally applicable to any neural network. My live talk that I gave just recently[2] goes in to practical ways of training neural nets without a lot of the math behind it (more just: do this and you get this effect) [1]: http://deeplearning4j.org/debug.html [2]: http://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/practial-deep-learning-tutorial-deepl… [3]: http://coursera.org/course/neuralnets
