This is an important point. People are thinking about it, and a lot of it will have to do with how the input data is gathered and curated.

It took me a bit longer than 15 minutes (maybe a hour or so), but this guide really worked for me when I visited Korea for a week last year. I couldn't really believe it was that simple!

Please be civil. BTW, the person you're replying to is a lawyer. Are you?

Funny to see that latter link on this message board, of all places.

That doesn't fit any of the best developers I've seen. Perhaps the people you've seen are not, in fact, very good?

More than people realize... Google and apple, for example, use sfm heavily to compute their 3d maps (in Google earth and the apple equivalent). Google also uses it in various other products.

A lot of the underlying machinery is similar: they both rely on "structure from motion" (sfm) techniques to automatically estimate both camera locations and 3d geometry of the scene simultaneously. And both works come from the sam

I can't tell if you're continuing the joke or genuinely missed it... (although given your prior comment history, I'm guessing the latter)

You might want to talk about the diversity benefits of this approach. In particular, it would be attractive to lots of companies if you can make a credible case for this attracting traditionally hard-to-reach demographics, and then of cours

I highly recommend this book [1] on Licklider's life, because it's also one of the best books on the computing movement from the creation of the early machines through the Xerox PARC years and slightly beyond. It's also the o

Crazy that it's been so long. Did any site used to have as in-depth reviews as AnandTech regularly does? My impression is that AT is what pushed other sites into having such detailed hardware reviews...

These are so great! I recognized a couple of them from hacker news as well -- so perhaps they might be usable here in a semi-automated way to detect bad conversations? (I know there's already a flame-war detector. But other patterns mi

I wonder if existing mipmap algorithms and hardware could be used for this kind of representation?

Seriously, this is what you're going to talk about? Nothing about the technology? And it's "disappointing"?

And has this been true historically for the banking industry? Or did the workers claw more and more of the compensation over time?

The Viola-Jones technique is still fairly competitive for face detection performance, IF you train it with a lot of data (and of course good data, which means with all the types of variations you expect to see). However, the pre-trained c
