You must start with labeled data. It is easier to label pictures of parked cars than it is to label pictures of good/bad driving. For labeled video, the dimensionality is out of reach of ML for now, and would add lag to your system.

This video (similar lecture, different audience) has the slides alongside the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FITJMJjASUs Still one of the best programming talks I've ever seen.

This is a half-formed thought, but if you are blind, how would you perceive space? You can feel against a wall, but you will only be correlating time with locomotion (how long it takes to move your hand against a wall at a certain force) to

It's amazing how many bright minds are paid to sort lists in a particular way.

Notice the subtlety. The first example on the site is: sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2 To render this in LateX as it is shown would be \sum_{i = 0}^n i^3 = \bigg( \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \bigg)^2 No fracts, just "/", no parenthe

Perhaps I spoke too broadly. You're right, many disciplines try to understand thought. From CS to philosophy to neuroscience to psychology etc. My real point is that thought is not visual or textual. Those things are simply ways of tra

There is a deeper question undercutting this project (and Bret Victor's Drawing Dead Fish talk and related approaches). That question is: how can we represent computation in an intuitive and scalable way? Conventional programming langu

It's as important to know the costs as it is the benefits of some technology. Know programming patterns. Be able to categorize a problem as an instance of a pattern (or not). Know what you don't know. Execute. Being better at debu

Why is this a machine learning problem? Why not use some low-power tag for items, and scan all items on customer exit? Personal opinion: Amazon is not interested in creating supermarkets/wal-marts. Instead it wants to sell an ML soluti

A component, a la React, is merely an opinion on MVC. M are props, and V is a pure function of these props. React encourages both M and V to live in the same file, which is a deviation from best practices in MVC land. But there is still an
