> Why is your focus on giving up - mine is on not letting it matter. That's some trivial reframing -- if you stopped eating food, it would start to matter.

Speaking of screen scraping, can someone recommend good libraries for accessing information on GUI widgets with integrated OCR capabilities?

It's him. Google began in 1996, was initially developed in Java, and well, he's trying to write a web robot to visit pages.

No need for it to be grand. But it has to be substantial enough for anyone to want to read it.

I'm about his age, and I agree with his thesis. But this article is terrible. No substantial arguments for how formal education fails and why unschooling is a better alternative are presented. In Wadhwa's article, you can at least easily id

Is anyone seriously considering porting this to C? I'm thinking of doing this myself, as I'm really interested in applying the algorithm, but I don't have a lot of experience in this kind of thing.

Can you explain the imperative code? I understand that it has to do with lists being monads and all, but I don't get why (return ([1..10]*2)) :: [Integer] doesn't work. What's the magic behind x <- [1..10] ?

Generating sounds is rather straightforward with HTML5. On the other hand, manipulating sound bytes (which would enable both synthesizer-like web apps and audio streaming) really ain't that easy to do.

A software-generated paper has been accepted in a Computer Science conference as well [1]. If anything, this is a problem that characterizes academia in general, not isolated parts of it. I understand that humanities-hating is an entertaini

Why not collect information from Wikipedia Simple English? You'll start with a huge database of information.

Does anyone else find the assumption that wage is somehow linearly proportional to 'value' completely ridiculous?

Well, he did search Google with the Jeopardy questions and showed that very often the answer to the question was Google's first result. I think that's not only indicative of the difficulty of the problem at hand, but also shows that Watson

Sorry, I'm not going respect silly one-line remark because he's a celebrity in the field. This is exactly what he seems to be counting on, his 'authority': he can say whatever stubbornly contrarian thing he wants and be considered seriously

Yeah, and the brain is nothing more than a bunch of atoms. Nobody is aware that you can make every single thing sound unimpressive by brutally reducing it to its components, and nobody has used that trick before! Way to go, Chomsky. Insight

No. Learning is an algorithm that is applied on an algorithm. There is nothing spooky about it. I wish more people realized that before they started claiming that "machines and humans are different in that humans can learn from their mistak

So what? Why live your life with that perspective? There's absolutely nothing good coming out of having the belief that you are mediocre, notwithstanding whether you actually are or not.

Students: You are probably not Mark Zuckerberg, so pay $200,000 to put up with old-fashioned syllabi and badly-designed courses employing poor methods of evaluation and professors who do their best to make feel as mediocre as possible!

Is Numenta's approach really that informed by findings regarding actual brain function? It's been a while and I don't remember most of Hawkins' model, but I don't feel that one needs to consult any actual neuroscientific results to use the

Honestly, I think the answer is pretty straightforward in this case: WordPress was just a great piece of software, much ahead of its competitors.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. >but if your goal is to address a problem within a system, I'm not confident that the best method is to tear it down and start from scratch What's a better method? Trying to work withi

Don't want to sound condescending, but I don't think that seeing this in layman's terms has any merit. All of mathematics, although often built out of some intuitive, natural notions, is about definition: describe an object and then see wha

You found the opportunity and owned it. I can't see how that deserves any criticism. How much did you make so far?

Excellent reply. SO far surpasses any other programming forum when it comes to getting answers for a specific problem, and that matters so much more than how easy it is for a user to get artificial karma.
