deep learning 1

in deep learning you don't have to do feature selection, this is automated by the deep learning algorithm by looking at the patterns of the data. we just feed it in and see the output classification. Talking about automation, this is a time saver for human being isn't it? The point why computer is really helpful to us is the fact that it could automate task. Now, do we need to understand how the machine do it? I think this is just a matter of trust or fear from humanity to machine. We don't need to understand anything, but sometimes what it matters is solving the problem. Like a doctor giving the medicine to a patient, granted he or she will have the understanding of how the medicine works into human body. This understanding however is 'limited', the doctor kind of 'trust' the work of the people who created those medicine that it will do no harm to the body. But the truth of the matter is it does not work always that way. There is a degree of 'blac...

machine learning ..difference

difference between machine learning and traditional programming. In traditional programming we tell the machine what to do or the decision making process to reach a certain goal. Like in order to identify a person, look for nose, look for eye, look ear, look for mouth and etc. but with machine learning we don't tell the machine what to do how to reach a goal. So, if the goal is to recognize human face then we give the machine many faces of human being and let the machine learn it on its own, instead of telling the machine what to do. This is much like the learning process of human being, where to accomplish a skill we could tell the human specific instructions of what to do or we could just give them the outcome and let the human figure out how to do it. this could be done through trial and error, and through error human could learn. So for example instead of tellling human what to in order to set up a succesfull business steo by step. Say, think about product and service tha...

Learning Crux

The meaning of learning should encompass everything that we do, not just the subject matter. this means when we say we are learning math, is not just we are learning math but we also learning the preparation to get that math ready and the after math too. In this was we are managing our expectation in a way that everything that we do involve patience and making mistake. this is why we see that the subject matter is the important thing, but also the before and after. If we could have that kind of mindset then we will have a living in the present moment all the time. Because now suddenly there is no end and beginning, everything is like a continuous flow.

the paradox of creating something big

is to create something small ...that is the short answer. Linux created from something small about 25 years ago, only from 1 person who is trying to create an OS besides the gnu or something like that ..from the prevailing OS that was much more popular at that time. This was i think even DOS was invented. the key point there is start with your own problem, and to make the user base happy and keep on improving there, and also the key is make it open and/or collaborative so other people could join in improving the OS. I think that is very empowering, because now people could not just give feedback but also could build it on their own that improvement if they want too. the key take away point: - start with your own problem (start small) - launch it and get feedback from the end-user (not mediator) - improve based on the feedback - make it collaborative another example is airbnb.com google probably is one of the answer too can you think of something else?

The other way around

People say that you do good then you go to heaven, you do bad then you go to hell. This is should be the other way around - if you are in heaven then you do good and if you are in hell then you do bad or mean things. Let me explain. In heaven means that you are already enlighten or manage to drop all your attachments from your inner system. This means you are meeting with the truth, reality or the divine. Then you cannot do anything but true love because you are already LOVE. In hell means that you are still like any other people on earth, still full of attachments or false self, then automatically all the thing that you do is to fulfill your attachments in other words you do 'bad' thing. This is what most people understand from the church, and this is the biggest obstacle to meet God. When people believe that he has to do god so that he could go to heaven, then violence bound to happen. This is the violence to our self, we force ourselves to do good to people. The prob...
