   Funny that GIMP is actually doing cross-correlation instead of convolution. That's also a mess in Deep Learning frameworks where "convolution" often means "cross-correlation".

   Nearly 0 in practice. It's great if you want to get a CS PhD and off to high-paying jobs in SV/WS. Rite of passage mostly.

   I had fun when I uploaded my classical piano performance to YouTube and it got flagged as copyright infringement by some weird company. I was not sure if I should be upset or flattered :D

   Do you really think a single simple metric like EEG would tell you much about musical preferences (not mentioning type of music to synthesize) given 100B neurons in average brain? For the first part you could try a RNN in an hour; not sure

   I think you are conflating cryptocurrency with blockchain-based DApps; they are different animals. See e.g. here advertised Origin protocol's whitepaper to understand threat vector for Amazon's dominance. Cryptocurrencies are IMO

   First, as you say Amazon is a middleman charging from 3-15% per sale, making many small 3rd party sellers unable to compete (if they pay shipping themselves etc.) Moreover, they often abuse their position by insta-banning sellers e.g. upon

    Amazon is just one scalability improvement in blockchain away from getting a major DApp-based competitor with the potential to obliterate its e-commerce side (while keeping cloud one) within a decade.

    Could it be the diagnosis is simply wrong, i.e. brain scans are interpreted incorrectly? We know that brain is quite elastic and after an injury another part of the brain can take the functionality of non-working part. Maybe his brain route

    Slightly off-topic: I've noticed if I work all night (e.g. yesterday writing a paper proposal for a conference), and I manage to stay up all the way until dawn, I literally get euphoria once Sun glances through windows. I can be super

    > Just because B happens after A doesn’t mean that A caused B; it just means B happened after A. This is where you committed a fallacy for a change. Next time be more careful! With this kind of thinking you'd rule out any causality.

    You'd need to reduce the weight of VR/AR glasses to that of regular glasses, i.e. <100g. Clunky heavy headsets stand no chance for professional use, fatigues sets in after 1 hour and gets worse every day of wearing it.

    Original drive towards flat design was in part driven by retina-style displays and scalable vector graphics where authoring tools used to be pathetic. These days we have much better tools, so maybe we can finally get attention to details ba

    Or the future is more like in Japan, where Hatsune Miku, "Future Sound", a Vocaloid-based anime hologram is selling out concerts, and has more followers than "regular humans". The fans like lack of drama as well.

    So the inter-company envy is coming back, like when iOS copied flat interface ideas from Windows Phone. I am wondering why we always end up with unified bland stuff instead of many possible variations so that everyone can choose what they l

    Not sure about it; you might create world-class products, try at your best, it might still not be enough and this sort of thinking after everything-done-right-but-still-failure will kill your motivation forever. Focus rather on making world
