It could also merely be convenience - as a startup you want to raise a few millions or whatever, and you want it all to come from a few sources, not too many. If you opened this up to an average investor, it will be a headache consolidating

Self driving right now is a moonshot for many of these companies, and competing with the resources that Google can throw at (both in terms of AI talent as well as sheer money) can be tough. Partnering with GM allows Honda a piece of this, a

0 is merely a convenient numerical value that also has business meaning - no growth. You can then contrast any numerical value with this, 10% meaning it grew by a fraction of .1, and so on. For most percentage quantities, it usually makes s

One issue that can easily crop up - the sandbox has bugs that allow access outside the game. This makes the game suddenly more than just an adventure game, and could be exploited. This is what Nintendo is trying to prevent here.

I wouldn't really club Zoom in with the rest of the tech IPO's, they've shown a profit and seem to be able to stay that way.

That's a very fair point! I hadn't considered this at all, I mostly write in English, and subconsciously assumed this would be true of most Vim users.

I can only see them making money in three ways : - They scale up massively and capture a huge fraction of the ride sharing market, thus allowing them to offer low cost / low margin rides, but making up for it by volumes : At least in I

A lot of phones come with the English alphabet on the 12 keys, three letters to a key. Similar to older phones that had a physical dialpad. You could then dial the "word" you want by looking at the number on which the correct lett

Unless you type a lot of graph algorithms notes (and have to write "Dijkstra"), you rarely encounter the key sequence jk. It makes it easier to work with vim and never move to hit the Esc key.

Actually not. It is a huge matter of "pride" in South Indian weddings when the bride wears a lot of gold, my interpretation is that this is just one way to carry on with the traditions of dowry. Fake jewelry for the purposes of ma

Multiple things combined to give this explosion. Off the top of my head : - 4G / 3G internet access became widespread, meaning you could suddenly have access to a lot of internet bandwidth in each phone user's hands. - Android and

Of this list, only Hangouts is a video conferencing application, is it not? Allo's primary goal was chat, Duo's is 1-1 interaction, GTalk is simply the older version of hangouts, and so on.

It's not about them being coincidences or secret projects - these are huge markets in general that the big players have not picked up on. For Apple, after their Apple TV, a logical extension would have been to dip into the gaming marke

One advantage could be speed - drones will allow you to move faster for smaller orders. Just like you have the shipping container -> warehouse -> trucks -> local warehouse -> smaller trucks -> home, you can extend this to res

True, but that need not be of high importance when assigning credit. Especially in projects that involve a lot of implementation, the high level algorithms and techniques are developed by someone who might be far removed from actually writi

I'm not sure what the idea behind posting this is? In a large scale project rarely does someone high up the command chain do any of the "grunt" work (i.e. programming). Also, by training she appears to be dealing more with th

It's a bit of both - she was the lead behind the algorithm used to process the data, so she rightly deserves credit for that aspect (being the first to do something always gets the credit in the research community). At the same time, i

I think the idea is that you use the superchargers as part of a meal stop that you would make with an ordinary car anyway. If you stop every X km with a regular car for breaks, and Tesla's network ensures you can always find a supercha

Of course, you're correct. I chose to ignore that aspect since Boyd's book covers a lot of basic material, and I'm not actually aware of any such text covering non-convex methods in general ( and considering how fast research

You do have a point - all the adversarial attacks on ML models rely on full adversarial control on the inputs, which probably isn't the case with medical records. If there was unconstrained access to a patient's MRI scans by an ad

Oil isn't somehow magical in any manner - everything that oil does today can be boiled down to supplying kinetic energy. We don't use its chemical properties in any special way, it just happens to be among the most efficient in te
