Why HN links it

HN readers link Peter Goldsborough's technical posts on C++ topics, such as a C++11 tuple implementation write-up and a type-erasure post, plus a 2016 post about a Google internship.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Musings on navigating the tech bubble with philosophy and self-improvement.

A couple of relevant things I just thought of: - http://www.goldsborough.me/google/internship/2016/11/18/01-5... - has some interesting tidbits; for example, I would not mind a visit to the Google Store :) - https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/5x4hxu/we_are_amd_crea... - The last paragraph in this recent AMD AMA was a real "OH I get it now" eyeopener for me about NDAs and not announcing stuff AOT; tangentially rel…

  3. Not the parent, but the imperative interface supported by the dynamic graph approach Pytorch takes is much nicer. Additionally, in my personal opinion Tensorflow is often too low level and Keras is often too high level for the things I'm trying to do for research. While you can jump between the two of course, I think PyTorch hits a much more natural middle ground in its API. Tensorflow/Keras is making improvements i…
