I deleted my Reddit account which kept the old design on it. Now when I occasionally browse Reddit as a non-user, it looks like an awful implementation of material design with tons of wasted space. For example, I see about 1.5 cards per pag

It was a major can of worms when we started image recognition years ago. I think privacy will naturally continue to decrease if there's no regulation. More information is ammo for both good and bad applications. At first something like

Then they would give their algorithms more power and memory, upgrade their cameras to capture more spectrum and/or resolution and learn who has used a tattoo to cover up their face.

You are right, according to quantum mechanics. If you have a pair of electrons in a product state and measure the spin of one of them, you instantly know what the "other particle's" spin is going to be (if you knew what the i

I just had a really bad experience with Uber myself. Here's my data point: I was just trying to get an Uber the other day in a large city and I waited over an hour in the rain. The first N-1 drivers that accepted my request cancelled o

I don't see why this research couldn't be applied to empirical data from an arbitrary system of coupled oscillators. I am interested in EEG and fNIRs, but there are drawbacks. Naively, people will try and study this data without f

It is tempting to be lazy and criticize this work because it contains a few instances of the phrase "quantum consciousness". This paper has one purpose: To get people thinking of the brain and information-carrying systems from a p

Terrible advice! I tell all of my students to find as many analogies as they can. You can never lose by increasing the number of ways in which you understand something. Analogies, some may argue, are at the heart of mathematics. > Math

Sometimes data is not beautiful, but very ugly. These results are based on a flawed premise. One red flag -- where is the word "dank" in your list? Where are words used by people who actually smoke weed ? Also, is "where sco

Leave it to a computer scientist to leave out the quantum tunneling metaphor. Well, here it is: skips current hill "I know somebody."

This is genius. The best ads do their work not in the 15 seconds they play -- but in the lifetime that follows. Well done Burger King, after all -- what good is Google if you can't stand on their shoulders, right?

I can't stand articles like this -- they bait you into reading poetry at the promise of science. So many words, so few ideas that are actually substantive. Consciousness speculation articles are a dime a dozen today, this is part of th

It doesn't seem to be fundamentally different than reCAPTCHA. They will probably replace the click-this-checkbox box with a set of elements already on the hosted page. Only indexing a page's HTML isn't good enough -- it'

Ironically, the people that said "No" just answered a binary question for $0.00. So, does that mean their answer is "yes"?
