I prefer the unrestored version of the images. They feel more real for some reason.

I disagree. His original vision for these types of projects was an elevator from surface to tunnel for a vehicle(likely a Tesla). So with that in mind as kind of a barebones version, even if he was to build a 17 mile tunnel that was effecti

The problem with these investments is when they completely implode, it'll taint the investor public's perspective on tech in general and likely bring down the whole sector.

Makes me think that Google’s whole Street View project was original designed to create a model of the streets that’d eventually be used in a self driving car. Here I was thinking it was silly gimmick that I’d barely use. The self-driving Wa

The AI winter is upon us and its first casualty is the chat bot. After all, if AI is as ubiquitous and threatening as many are claiming, then why has the literal least complex implementation of it, a chat bot, failed completely?

AirBnB also immediately contributed to a very serious housing shortage and has contributed to rising rents everywhere. The effects are just now being understood which why legislation is just now being enacted to taper it a bit.

The language here is interesting. "Wile E Coyote moment" in the abstract looks and feels like a bubble, but he doesn't use the term bubble. So a sharp correction? But isn't that what a bubble does? Why not just say we&#x

I find if I want to explore a new API I like to find boilerplate projects that are usually <Something>-Example. I know if they have one star, it's probably high-quality boilerplate. If there's no stars, I might still invest

It’s pretty negligent to sell or give access to a company, someone else’s personal data with a handshake and wink that they won’t turn around and do nefarious shit with it. So while you’re right, it’s also just kinda shitty and probably ill

Man, there's a massive war about to go down between the press and tech and other tech companies. Apple is starting to reign in the attention-grabbing machine that is Facebook and it's properties. Now the press, particularly, the N

Massive software companies deliver high-quality software, on-time all the time for one reason: resources. They got the money and the time and the developers and all the enterprise accounts up the wazoo. Typically no one wants to pay more fo

Lotta smart people at Facebook, I imagine they've looked at this and have come to the conclusion that it's not lucrative as you think.

I think that’s the point. They’re trying to change it by expanding it, bringing in more revenue sources from ads other than the ones you describe.

I do want to shut it down at the first scent of a malformed, intellectually stunted alt-right-prescribed viewpoint as it’s tiresome to constantly need to successfully shoot down the barrage of canned Shapiro/Peterson/Bannon-esque

My argument is that more precise war machines might cause less collateral death thus resulting in less overall casualties from conflict. Unfortunately, historically speaking, the use of war is assured.

I'm staunchly opposed to war, but understand it's unfortunate necessity under certain extreme circumstances. If these types of projects make war machines more precise overall, they may actually decrease overall collateral damage a

Holy shit, why? This "decentralized social network" concept has been around literally since the beginning of Facebook. Apparently, people are failing to grasp that centralization isn't the problem and will never be a selling

You definitely do not need csci fundamentals to learn AI/ML. It’s more of a math discipline. Knowing what big endian means or the fundamentals of programming languages aren’t really needed when learning AI.
