So this takes a sentence of the form "what if <x> <predicate> <y>", discards the predicate, gets a photograph of x and y from a tagged up database, identifies faces from them and merges the face of x into the pla

Probably Eikon? Elektron is Reuters' real-time data play, Eikon has much more of the news/data/analysis functionality of BB. It's terrible marketing, even from their pages it's pretty hard to differentiate [1] [2] [

If you do choose to implement it, please do let me know (email in profile), I'll definitely make sure we use it.

This is great work. Forgive me if I'm missing it, but since the blog post implies you're aggregating and cleaning the data from several lists, is there any way to see the latest additions (RSS etc?) rather than directly searching

It certainly seems incomprehensible now, but that isn't necessarily true in neural networks - the amazing thing about some of the experiments using the results of intermediate layers in image recognition is that they seem to be buildin

I've read the paper, and I feel like I should be more informed than I am. I take it this language is designed to allow you to build systems that take very large data sets and transform them in a sort of extremely parallel, map-reduce i

Whilst the "enslave us" thing is a bit alarmist, regarding it taking our jobs there's a certain analogy here with mechanisation. You pointed out (below) that historically people have often been terrified that machines would t

My apologies - I didn't even check. I'm not sure that changes my view on the piece though, it felt remarkably objective.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think the author would as well. I'd argue he's not saying that working-class men are failing anyone, rather that being a working-class man is becoming a mentally and morally exhausting pursuit, a

These two issues are caused by very different mechanisms. Unlike the flight hours issue, software developers don't have to work to keep up their "license" - in fact, in my experience, most software developers would prefer to

Just to play the other side of the argument - does this really matter? Most of the major label music industry now is based on, at best, flimsy (if not outright false) connections between fans and artists. Genuine connections are very differ

This is the first time I've ever encountered the guy, but W.R.T. the second of those links: making a public statement denouncing a tool because a performance profile is O(N^2) and then, on being asked to prove it, admitting it's a

We were looking at this in the office on Friday, watching Hurricane Patricia (it's not much use for the high-speed predictions we usually need, but it's a really beautiful way to visualise/understand the data after the fact).

It's an interesting idea - natural selection not by death before breeding, but by emigration - if only the animals that liked humans stayed near them, and those that didn't went elsewhere, then they'd end up breeding with oth

You're mixing moral intentions (we should reduce our consumption of meat) with pure market forces (it's hard to scale, so it will become more expensive). It seems to me that the former is unnecessary - it will just go away if we

Seems to me that this is a cheap, relatively smart piece of marketing, rather than a serious proposition - note the heartbeat and voice recognition ideas that they're also "experimenting" with.
