You just have to spend a lot longer in phase 1 (or pre phase 1) where you're trying to make something people want. Once you've built that tech you still want to sell it and to have growth right?

Nah it's just the latest hype to deep learn everything with lots of variations. It'll hit it a local maxima soon of what's achievable and then will begin the task of integrating actual computer vision knowledge.

Yeah I just introduced my kids to http://computercraftedu.com/ and its visual minecraft programming language. They got the hang of it quickly because they really want to create things in minecraft.

I think in the aftermath of the US election cycle you'll probably view that differently. Replacing personal and business expenditure with government expenditure is a complicated equation, but Sanders plan absolutely required raising th

An element of the future economy that I don't see addressed in this comment thread is the ability of technology to improve our ability to DIY. While AI may replace the need to hire labour, sufficiently shareable DIY technology may repl

Yes but the point is - it's a given that people want better cameras in their iPhones. They want to see DSLR images to see what they are missing out on and what they aspire to. The DSLR is just a sensor benchmark.

Yes the full simulation probability has to be something like the probability simulations are possible and the probability that simulations have been discovered and the probability that simulations are numerous and the probability that simul

I've thought down these paths a lot, and I came to similar but different conclusion. It's not simply that I don't trust argument - I weight arguments with evidence. If you take the simulation argument for instance - if you&#x

Yes, Surfaces are especially popular for enterprises right now. I think most enterprises had started to embrace iPads because iPhones are the number one phone choice, but it's a pretty easy sell to get an enterprise back on Windows whe

I think this is the angle of attack that Apple is taking here. They want to catch up to the handwriting and sketching abilities of Surface, but they don't want a hybrid OS. In a lot of ways the Surface is a laptop with a detachable key

Stallman deserves a real doctorate no doubt about that. He shouldn't be seen as the same as someone who happened to donate enough or be famous enough, he's done so much more. He shouldn't pretend he has an honour he hasn&#x27

It's not unclear, any substitution can be replicated by a deletion and insertion. I have no idea if that leads to a simpler case of the edit distance algorithm.

It's not out of the question, but it's back to distribution by physical media and the only unequivocal technical advantage is in the rendering of reflections and refractions.

Lightfields don't lose because of how they look, it's the lack of compression and difficulty in capturing them for real scenes that have held them back.

The problem isn't the individual, its the society that has to pay for it. We can find the exploration of Mars a worthwhile thing in the abstract. But as a society that interest will wane in the face of the reality. Then we aren't

Well to be fair, I grant you that certain people would find those awful conditions worth it for the sake of the mission. I just think the novelty will wear off and there won't be a stream of people heading off to colonise Mars. It does

Go to a rocky desert, there are huge ones out there (albeit nothing compared to Mars), and tell me if you find parts of it that make you want to set up life in tank or if it all looks the same. We evolved to be interested in the things that

Well here's my take. Although they said 'cloud computing' I don't think they mean spinning up an AWS instance to do computation on your device. Rather what they want is the client to 'power' both sides of a com

I suggest you stick with your current thin-air holographic solution if you have one :)

It's definitely real. I've seen it, and no doubt so have many many others. As someone else here speculated it's a transparent screen moving up and down over a projector. It's pretty cool and worked in a reasonably light

The previous generation experienced massive pressure not to return to the workforce after having children, so it makes sense that the pendulum would swing to having career success before children. Hopefully the future actually involves flex

I used to use Firefox, so when I saw some hype around its tab collection stuff the other week I downloaded it and gave it another try. It was slow and paused the whole interface regularly for a second or two. I can't say I used it exac

I love Common Sense Media. My kids don't like to be scared, it negatively impacts their sleeping and frankly their general well being but I'm not really concerned about bad language or minor innuendo - CSM is the best way to get a

I understand and I agree. My point is just that sites make money with fake claims of viruses on your computer - I think real browsing history would scare the money out of enough unsophisticated people to make it profitable.

Yeah I thought r/bitcoin was a good place to argue against the idea that any altcoin is automatically subsumable by bitcoin. Needless say the downvotes came pretty quick. I think the chance that Bitcoin simply changes to match any comp

Presumably they can't verify it, but I feel like real data would be much more likely to convert to 'sale'. Besides if that's the particular strategy the site takes then it may well develop a reputation for reliability in

I would think a lot of people would pay to keep such information secret though. Maybe not enormous sums individually but given data that you can personally verify this would be a fairly effective threat. I'm imagining the typical popup

It's even worse as a theory when you consider the hijackers give out accurate information as to their distance from the satellite but bet on inaccurate directional data to throw everyone off. You've still narrowed down the search

I suspect the Andaman Sea would have served that purpose just fine. There are other options like the burst data has just been misinterpreted, but the deliberate faking of a never before used piece of data seems very unlikely.
