Published: Nov. 2, 2016, 7:01 p.m.

We spoke to Evan Shapiro,\xa0CTO and cofounder of\xa0Knit Health\xa0(@KnitHealth), about baby monitors, IoT security, neural nets, and professional poker.

The\xa0Knit Health Kickstarter\xa0ends November 17, 2016.

Evan recommended\xa0Google Tensor Flow\xa0and\xa0Python's Theano\xa0for an introduction to machine learning. (If those sound familiar it is because\xa0Kat Scott\xa0mentioned them as well.) Evan also suggested that if you'd like to know more about the history of neural nets, check out\xa0this post by Audrey Korenkov.\xa0

Evan mentioned some videos he did about poker, they are on\xa0Card Runners\xa0(NOTE: it is a paid site with free tastes).

Final quote was from Neil Gaiman's excellent\xa0Graveyard Book.
