It does in some places. In St. Louis it was as easy as checking a box on your bill one time, and then for a slight additional cost your house was supplied by renewable energy indefinitely. I don't have that option now in NC.

how do you tax based on the use of automated programs, AI and robots? Robots are sort of the easiest, maybe you tax their purchase? Or some kind of yearly 'property' tax on them. What is a robot though? A fax machine? A dish

There are some recent examples where people have trained a collection of large nets which are then used to teach a smaller net. The smaller net can learn more quickly and finally achieves better performance than the large collection. The m

do you have any sources? I would be interested to read more.

I think so, we just also have the capability to "double take" and pay closer attention and get a new point of view when the thing we're seeing is unexpected. Its hard to say if a similar hack would work on people since we can

That is a good point, but 100x more expensive seems like it can't entirely be accounted for by more specialty crops. Most small farms in my area do most of their sales growing typical vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, cucu

I pulled some numbers from us government data 5 years ago or so and found that farms 10,000+ acres got around $300 revenue / acre, compared to 1-5 acre farms which got $30000 revenue / acre. Big farms have a better ROI. Invest $1

Looks like they use Amazon Turk: http://www.image-net.org/papers/imagenet_cvpr09.pdf Yeah that's a good point that "is description X and accurate representation" is a better question, though harder to gr

That is a good question. I went and read the about page at imagenet [1], but it wasn't completely obvious what the source is. One thing to note though is that the context as described there is "1000 images to illustrate each wor

Most of the examples cited in the paper that their algorithm got wrong, I would also get 'wrong.' I don't think I would guess restaurant for any of the images with that label, I might have gotten the middle spotlight and I m

It seems that this might mean that ImageNet is becoming less useful a benchmark dataset. Some of the images have labels which I would have never guessed myself, and not because I don't know the difference between two types of stingray

Does any one know if there is a super easy way to also eliminate silent portions of the video? For example copying notes, changing blackboards, pauses in speech, erasing blackboards, etc? I feel like this could achieve similar results as

The times when I've gotten the ratio that high have been times when I've been learning new skills while building new things. There's something to be said to building something using that new cool new framework. Its got to s

Basically, "the cheaper the better." That's not how I evaluate food choices since it is so closely tied to health and so quality is important in addition to cost. There are plenty of other times other than food when "th

I agree with your initial sentiment that the unknown is frightening to the status quo and that is why it was out lawed. As to your later points though, in a magic mushroom study "Eighty per cent of the volunteers reported moderately or

The car may be programmed to adhere to strict safety laws, but some necessary maneuvers will not be possible due to physical constraints and people can still get hurt.

I talked to one of the authors of this paper at ICLR and he said that it wasn't really worth the time to compute the adversaries and train, though it did improve results. He said that in the time it took to generate adversaries and th

Interesting to note though that even with a linear network that can be represented by a single matrix, it can be faster, easier and converge to better results with multiple layers because the different gradient and parameter space that is p

Soundcloud has a nice culture. I go there both to discover music and to listen to music I've liked. It's different than imgur but I think that partly is just due to the fact that it takes anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour to ex

The option isn't military or no military, it is military or spend the money on something else. There are plenty of other ways the same money could have been spent which resulted in similar civilian improvements.

One of the best things weve done to help with the water cooler problem was to have a group im chat (hipchat). we try to avoid private im whenever possible. This means that not only is it easy to see what others are talking about, you can
