As my old AI lecturer put it "If a person driving a car runs over a person that driver is at fault, if an AI driving a car runs over a person that AI will probably never be used again in any car.", so it's interesting to see

I'm in Ireland, and while I don't use Uber (too expensive) I keep telling this story to explain why I use Hailo a lot: Around 3am one Saturday after a family party my parents were worried about getting a taxi, because they had hea

Is this talk available online anywhere? I'd love to hear it, or at least a broad-strokes summary.

Of course Apple 'cheats' with regard to its own closed product, it's hardly surprising. Interesting to read about the exact mechanisms by which they do, but I'm always reminded of Jeff Atwood's article 'Serving

This is exactly what I was going to post, it's an excellent talk. As Mike says a good contract is good for both the client and the worker, as it ensure everyone is on the same page. It only takes being burned for trusting people once t

I think calling it a 'shared world' is making implications about the use of the recordings. If everyone is recording everything do I have access to all of that? If they catch me looking stupid as I run do I have the right to find&

It's got a couple of 'outside research' uses, the one I think is least trivial is as a tool for Alzheimer's suffers to review their short-term memory. It makes a real difference to their quality of life, improves their r

What's interesting is that some recording is acceptable to people. A friend researches lifelogging (methods to record your life experience). He has worn a Sensecam (a device that takes still pictures every 30 seconds all day long, with

I definitely think the workweek rush propagates the idea of 'I wish I could get my food-related time back', so I imagine it could see a lot of success as a work-lunch/home-from-work dinner type product alright.

From the discussion I've seen here Soylent seems to have hit on a market for 'efficiency of prep and consumption'. I've seen a lot of people comment to the effect they don't want to think about food, they don't

Having done some small experiments with EEG I'm wary of these consumer devices (have seen 'performance improving' gaming gear too), mostly work with muscles etc. This doesn't claim EEG that I can see though so... who kno

I didn't mean "that I used" to sound egotistical, more a proxy for more serious adoption. MySpace was mainstream, but Facebook was a more serious consideration because (at least as I remember it) it didn't allow the quag

I think the confusion might be the definition of 'new'. Something can be new without being the first of its kind, neither Bill Gate's OS or Larry Page's search engine were the first of their kind, but I think in both cas

I'll speak up for bibtex files, while I was writing my doctorate I was adverse to spending time choosing between the different apps, so I kept an extra window with my master bibtex file (all the papers I read) open. This forced a benef

I was introduced to this recently and it has become one of my favourite talks. Maybe also of interest on the topic of doing important work, Randy Pausch's Last Lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo
