You said there wasn't any statement of support for NN from Wikimedia, I showed you otherwise. I also acknowledged that zero rating muddled the issue, but that's irrelevant now. So I don't see your point. The onus is now on yo

I think hq4x has a slight edge because it doesn't go all the way trying to make everything smooth, still preserving some pixelation. There's actually an analog to this in denoising: if you denoise too heavily you end up losing de

Wikimedia has always been in favor of net neutrality, it's just that their role in the issue was always muddled by zero rating. From 2014: > The Wikimedia Foundation believes that the principle of net neutrality is critical to the f

If it's to their advantage, it will happen. See the AV1 codec, which Apple joined along with other industry giants as an alternative to patent-encumbered video codecs.

That sounds useless [0] considering you could just cut out a hole in a textbook or hide a gun anywhere else. A lot of schools have metal detectors these days as well as random bag checks. Seems like that's the future we're choosin

Capitalism is one of those things that only works in theory. One only has to look at the countless deaths and massive wealth inequality caused by it to realize it's unfeasible.

Morality is not a zero sum game, where evil is cancelled out by good. Just because it is criticism, doesn't make it a "cheap shot" nor is someone's opinion invalid because they're not millionaires.

Eh, this seems to me to be in the vein of other articles that tend to fetishize cultures other than ours. As a New Yorker, I've heard constantly about how we're all aggressive, rude, direct, confrontational, etc. While, like most

They are silly though. You can't create data out of thin air and this article even notes multiple times that for more complexity/detail, it requires more data to be ingested at shooting time.

This unwarranted overhyping of the capabilities of machine learning needs to stop (HN is one of the places most guilty of this). All you're saying is "it just has to happen" without actually substantiating your belief; just

There's so much valuable research that can be done with aggregate Tweets that you can't do with just lone accounts. For example I've seen flu outbreaks being predicted by hashtags. ( http://money.cnn.com/2017&#

Any archival project worth its salt would never store just the tweet text, but also all associated metadata. The best way I've seen to do this is to just save the JSON returned by an API as it's easily parseable. You also have to

Fair use is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. Financers and their lawyers will be loath to touch anything which does not have a clear rights status, and the concept of fair use is murky and can only be proven once a judge has ruled as such,
