Does this qualify as 'computational photography'? My interpretation of that term is that it is more about using non-standard optics processed with a computer, than it is about applying deep learning and other AI based techniques w

If fires go down because forests are now developed areas, is that necessarily a good thing? To me that kinda says that we're running out of forests.

I think it makes more sense to require apps to let people know how much time they spend using them (especially if more than a few hours per week), and encourage people to take breaks. Banning one type of UI is not going to change anything.

Cool, project - I really believe that we need more visual tools for building and debugging neural nets. I had a hard time figuring out how to delete a layer (the icons on the left are REALLY tiny and not obvious). Maybe adding a trash can i

That's really clever. I wonder if you could rig something up that lets you draw patterns or rainbows etc.

Hololens has been doing inside out tracking on much older hardware for years now. It's not impossible.

I've been messing around with audio nets and that was the first thing that surprised me too - convnets don't work nearly as well (out of the box) for audio as they do for images. This article has some good reasons why audio data i

The Wavenet stuff sounds great, but I'm curious how big the model is. The audio files may be tiny, but you may need a huge neural network to decode them.

For anyone interested, Photoshop has had this feature for a long time - Content Aware Scaling. It's also much faster.

I think having AI agents that can fill out online forms for you would actually be really really useful, and probably a much easier problem to solve.

If you think about it, conversation is just a loosely defined API with an extremely high degree of tolerance for poorly formed input.

I've always felt that we need some kind of ubiquitous and low friction micro transactions for small time websites to succeed and to move away from the ad driven model. A niche blog could be successful with a small audience if each of t

There's a lot of hate against Magic Leap, but an upgraded Hololens with 6DoF controllers sounds good to me!

And AR! Though I'm guessing it will be pretty hard to get it accurate enough for VR.

Isn't this a bit like saying that Apple is sharing your photograph with apps [that use the camera]?

I think the answer is that none of the big companies want to be completely left behind when it comes to the big three technologies (AR / VR / AI). Even though they don't have any big VR or AR hardware this is a way to say the

Good point. Sounds like there needs to be a bot tax. ;)

If twitter doesn't ban bots, at least give them an official designation and require people to be honest about whether the account is bot controlled or not. Advertisers want to reach people not bots. If they got together and demanded mo

Bingo, I was mainly thinking of a large christian organization acquiring ancient artifacts from the middle east.

Not many people mention it, but ARKit also theoretically makes it possible to have 6DoF Google cardboard style VR as well.

Neural networks are very much math based (more so than I imagined when I first started reading about them), it's just the underlying math hasn't changed much - only the architectures and techniques.

By default it has some comfort options enabled. Basically it blanks out a good portion of your peripheral vision which keeps you from getting sick. Honestly it's one of the best examples of non-nausea inducing locomotion yet.

I've come to believe that 'clever' solutions are almost always a bad idea. You should err on the side of best practices. Defying expected norms means that other people aren't going to be able understand your code or main

That's pretty cool. A commandline app that just takes an .OBJ file and renders it to an .SVG would actually be pretty useful (viewport position / orientation would of course need to be options as well).

I also struggle with adding extra features to a game I'm working on. I've added "You're not going to need it" to the top of my to-do list as a way to force myself to think everytime I add something on there. ;) htt

Love is a bit more 'low level' than Corona. In LÖVE you have direct control over what gets drawn each frame, wheras in Corona you are more working with a scene graph (nested display objects).

Having worked with both I would disagree with this statement. Image assets are the same size whether you're making a Flash site or a javascript site (both use zip compression, both support JPG's, PNG's etc). What you're
