My younger brother (9year) who don't know english well. I will say he can just read simple english stories in english, is very curious to learn programming. Any app/websites which I can use to get him started. Much resources look outdated like Alice from MIT.

My wishes to Santa :) 1) A more stable and prosperous world (No refugee crisis). 2) AI and Space exploration should move at twice the pace what it is now. 3) Equal opportunity to every kid in world.

One quote which drives me nowadays: "Either we are too smart or dumb to find god and ask him to solve all world problem's. We are alone or together in creating the world we ever dream off"

Happy Holidays.

Hello HN,

Will love to know what kind of system with specs (pictures) you are using to run deep learning. I just shifted from cloud to local to save some money and thinking to build one. It would be awesome if you can also give point to or write some pointers which you think will help.

Hello,

I am just trying to write few scripts to find prospects (majorly company) who will be interested in buying our SAAS tools. For this I use variety of source like

1)Crunchbase data export (found it was little old) and crunch base Rest API has limit per day (so not very scalable).

2)Linkedin directory search but its hard to scrape linkedin they have very smart algo to stop it, I had to change my ip using tor after every few request and then also has to put random timing in between request and then also they blocked account which I was using for that search.

3)Few websites like rivalseek etc for search and then scraping them , result have lot of duplication.

All the above scripts are very scattered and doesn't look like a nicely build system. It would be great to know what others have done for this, like any scripts which they combined and major free sources they get information etc? Anything which you guys will add value to discussion?

I did some search but was not able to find out any new updated good resource to learn AI, mostly was referring to Peter Norvig book on AI. Is there any other resource you guys came across which are good, please share.

I came across this recently: ``I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. When it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. Of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are. I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. Above all, I hope we don't become missionaries. Don't feel as if you're Bible salesmen. The world has too many of those already. What you know about computing other people will learn. Don't feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What's in your hands, I think and hope, is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more.''

Looking forward for making the best collection for them here :).

Hello HN

6 months back, I started invested in indian stock market as value investor and eventually also started with algo trading. I wrote lot of tooling for this myself like Fetching of real time price and storing data, analyzing it on server and then posting request to the brokerage account.I use this: http://screener.in/ (for screening -- one of the best tools I have come accross in india for stocks analysis) and BSE/NSE (indian stocks website) for real time price and market depth. Used google finance for some stock alert by writing script using google apps. Will be good to know what other people are using so we don't reinvent wheel and make use of the modern technology.
