Summary: We spoke to Evan Shapiro, CTO and cofounder of Knit Health (@KnitHealth), about baby monitors, IoT security, neural nets, and professional poker. The Knit Health Kickstarter ends November 17, 2016. Evan recommended Google Tensor Flow and Python's Theano for an introduction to machine learning. (If those sound familiar it is because Kat Scott mentioned them as well.) Evan also suggested that if you'd like to know more about the history of neural nets, check out this post by Audrey Korenkov. If you'd like a gentle introduction, check out a Narwhal's Guide to Bayes' Rule. Evan mentioned some videos he did about poker, they are on Card Runners (NOTE: it is a paid site with free tastes). Final quote was from Neil Gaiman's excellent Graveyard Book.
