Since the discussion keeps circling back to effects and economics, I found this paper on "The Economic Impact of EU membership on the UK"[0] published by what looks like the House of Commons, which includes cost-benefit analyses o

Cost. Clinical IQ tests are administered by psychologists and created by publishers. Pearsons WISC-IV Basic Kit costs $1,123.40. It's a bit like brand-name drugs and generics, except that the generics aren't allowed to copy the ex

I think you have to weigh your qualms against the difficulty of implementation. They're both spectra, one from 'completely unusable' to 'perfect in its sublime beauty', the other from 'there's a complete s

I have to admit, diagrams are a bit harder to do in text, especially interconnected graphs. That said, I could imagine something that uses triples to define a rendered graph, similar to how RDF for the semantic web works. Say #BEGI

That is precisely why I quoted the example of medical diagnosis systems within restricted subfields.

Like I said, I have not played around with a lot of DL frameworks, only more general python things. I'll take note of that, I'm really interested on how difficult different DL frameworks are to set up.

by 50CNT 10y ago
Even to develop an expert system, you only need some humans who do it quantifiably better than other humans. Despite not all of us being expert Go players, we have AI that can do it. In the less abstract space, we have medical diagnosis sys

I've been reading some academic papers recently and taking notes in org-mode. What I find is that a lot of information expressed in solid paragraphs becomes a lot easier to parse once you convert them into an appropriate list, tree or

That's pretty similar to how I heard on-line viagra companies do it. Except shadier and without the apps.

I see. The article was a bit vague for me in what it means by frameworks (does NLTK count? Django? DL frameworks in other languages?), and since I don't know the area too well, that struck out to me as odd. It honestly looks like prett

TensorFlow is admirably easier to install than some other frameworks I thought most frameworks are fairly easy to install in python, usually with a single call to pip. NLTK takes one "pip install nltk" and then "pyt

That happened to me when I was 11 using Windows XP. Since I couldn't figure out what I did I resorted to turning my monitor on its head for about a week.

That reminds me of something I was doing recently, really rough corpus analysis, trying to see how much text coverage the words in the NGSL give you. Honestly thought it'd take me a couple of weeks to do. Got into NLTK, used the built

Why not just massive flywheels? What's the benefit of having a train go over tracks instead of having a large solid wheel?

Cars aren't iPhones though. Let's assume that the manufacturer supports the OS for 2 years and let's take the Nissan Versa 2016, which has the lowest cost to own of any car. Sticker Price I found was $12,825 ,so let's go

Germany has the Vereinswesen, which are small clubs around a common hobby (such as shooting, football, gymnastics, orchestra, basketball, etc.) that are usually part of a larger Verband, which may be state or country-wide like the DFB (Ger

I think there's two domains in this case, one being "macro luck", the other "micro luck". The rise of the PC, or the fall of the horse buggy are in the former category. They can be influenced, but individual contrib

yeah, got a little confused there.

What about bootstrapped startups? They have to be in the black very quickly, if not from day 1. Do they count as startups? Really, we've got four different terms we're trying to delineate. "Exponential growth business" v

Stemming and stop-word removal aren't that hard. Probably less time to set up say NLTK and write the 4-10 lines of python required than setting up Elasticsearch.

Yup, been looking into it the last couple of days because Slack is devilishly slow in China, and it seems to cover most of the stuff you'd want from slack plus the things GP mentioned. Really cool stuff.

Facebook and Buzzfeed sound like awfully solvable problems. Just install Leechblock and set a block for them during work hours. The rest sounds like mis-management issues, which I think has more to do with lack of analysis than programming

In python you could probably do def makeflag(): flag = 1 while True: yield flag flag = flag << 1 flag = makeflag() E_GLASS_RN_STATE_INITIAL = next(flag) E_GLASS_RN_STATE_WEAKEN

I assume when you come on Hacker News you feel offended for being called a hack and a criminal :P. Colloquial usage of these terms has shifted massively, to the point where the most common definitions I hear from people are: nerd: som
