I really don't know how you'd even leap to that conclusion. I'd say there's more of a chance of it being that Chinese dude that replaced Monica. Because at least she's talked about that guy this season.

I predict that Gavin Belson is gonna play it 100% straight and be loyal to the new partnership and try earnestly to succeed as a business and develop the new internet project, and Richard is going to gently caress him over in a spectacular fashion.

My buddy thinks the same thing, but that Richard is going to gently caress over all of his friends and partners. I could see it, but it would be out of the norm for this show. My honest guess is they're gonna find a way to end the season like every other season. With the guys clawing their way back up again.

A few people here hoped Gilfoyle would get knocked off his high horse like Dinesh; so I liked the little deconstruction of his character by Jared.

I called it earlier that Jared's either going to kill him or TRY to kill him after learning he's had a hand in turning another SV tech genius into a legendary rear end in a top hat.

I was thinking that Mia being an elite hacker is purely manufactured by Gilfoyle in order to get Dinesh to poo poo his pants, but then that seems TOO obvious.

I think she'll be integral in getting Richard's new internet to work, but Gilfoyle will be convinced she put all sorts of backdoors in it for herself and go full on ~Aspie OCD freakout~ and tank the launch or say something to the wrong person.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
Found a post on HN about the app and some guy who says he (or his team) developed the thing:

quote:

It uses embedded TensorFlow on device (better availability, better speed, better privacy, $0 cost), with a custom neural net inspired by last month's MobileNets paper, built & trained Keras.

About the training set:

quote:

About 150k total images, 3k of which were hotdogs. The results are far from perfect (there's ton of subtle — or hilarious — ways to trick the app) but it was better than using a pre-trained model or doing transfer learning, accuracy-wise (honestly it was even better than using Cloud APIs). As for the difficulty I'll say I definitely empathize with Dinesh and Jian Yang’s feelings in episode 4 :D

So tl;dr they're using the standard, state of the art neural net tech you'd use for this kind of thing. (The technobabble by the female student was perfectly accurate from what I can tell.)
You could probably roll this setup at home if you have a gaming pc and a few hours to kill.

I agree with everyone, this episode was another highlight. I love this show. It's getting a bit predictable on the Karma front, but it's not any less hilarious than it used to. I hope they stay with the machine learning theme for a while because I understand that stuff a bit better than the other tech inside jokes :v:

Dunno how accurate the tech aspect if this show is, but this show is so god drat funny.

It's very accurate, both in its portrayal of technology (aside from the fictional Weissman score and Richard's breakthrough algorithm) as well as the Silicon Valley life and culture. Some things are obviously played up a bit for comedic effect, but I know people with Richard's neurosis or Gilfoyle's stoic cynicism. And yes, sometimes engineers will get caught up coming up with solutions to hypothetical problems like jerking off a room full of dudes.

The very first scene of the show, where Kid Rock is playing at a big company meeting and nobody there seems to even know who he is, has happened to me before. We couldn't afford Kid Rock, but we had the Soft White Sixties come to an event, and there was maybe 5-10 people actually sitting in the chairs watching essentially a free concert.

Mike Judge is a master of satire, and I'm very pleased that he decided to take on Silicon Valley.

As an engineer the brainstorming solutions to the room jerking off scene was so incredibly accurate it was almost painful. I have worked with some incredibly obsessive problem solvers no matter the effort to improve a process/program/product even the tiniest amount. It can be in things no way related to the job or even their technical background.

The rest of society should be glad for tech companies and silicon valley in particular because it keeps these folks away from the normies.

The culture is, sadly, pretty spot-on. Tech varies -- the core idea is completely made-up -- but is pretty solid.

The best Mike Judge creations always manage to be offbeat enough to be hilarious, but also so in-tune with the culture it's mocking that it's disturbingly accurate. I've heard people from Texas call King of the Hill a documentary.

My only beef with Not Hotdog is that when you tap Share, it just shares a stock image of a hot dog with Jin Yang. Which is cool, but I want to share the stupid pictures I take with a NOT HOTDOG caption.

Also, it identified my dad as a hot dog.

If you rewatch those programs today, I think you will have a different opinion. Maybe not though, I can't comprehend how 'Bobby centred' is a negative.

I'm actually rewatching the Simpsons right now; the first two seasons are real rough, season three is all over the place but has some real gems, four and five (where I'm at currently) have been solid loving gold. Most of these are chock full lot of memorable lines and gags.

"Chock full lot of memorable lines and gags" isn't really a line I'd use to describe King of the Hill, even though it was pretty good. And nah, Bobby is a drag, especially all the interactions with Connie and Joseph. He's loving amazing as a foil for Hank, but he's not a particularly interesting character on his own. Literally the only funny thing I can remember Bobby doing is the "that's my purse I don't know you" bit.

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
Late-era Peggy episodes lean hard into her worse qualities until she's just an oblivious rear end in a top hat all the time instead of being just kind of conceited.

A professor I know had somehow completely missed the entirety of television after Knight Rider (she was too busy backpacking the world and being extremely successful as a scientist at a young age), but for some reason the one thing she knows is Silicon Valley. I feel she's gonna be terribly disappointed now that she's gonna spend her maternity leave watching television shows.
