I agree. A better version of this type of technology was described by David Brin in the 90s. Why not measure the minute signals of the mouth to predict word commands instead of hand movements?

I wonder if this has applications in AI. For example, folks like Jeff Hawkins are obsessed with ML techniques that mimic human neurons. This might give them a way to study and discover properties of neural networks.

Awesome app man. 150-300MB seems more than acceptable for a local email client. A pedantic, vocal minority may be over-represented in this thread (it IS HN after all). IMO Electron apps present significant advantages that justify its neglig

Perhaps there exists a framework isomorphic to Langlands' theories that unite the three disparate topics of this subthread: 1. The perfunctory machinery of arithmetic 2. The theoretical connective tissue between entire branches of mat

No way. When you look at the daily volume of the Bitfinex exchange, it is large... but not that large.

Folding AI against itself does seem like the theme of the next major AI frontier. Already we have GAN networks doing incredible things.

If you can "customise every aspect of the system" why does he spend a whole paragraph complaining about people who like JSX? Shouldn't the answer be, "and you can use JSX if you want"?

If you ask me, this "slow roll-out" of legal cannabis in the United States has been planned and directed entirely by big business the entire time.

Looks like this paper is the opening chapter of that book. The search continues! http://toc.nkp.cz/VSE/201103/contents/vse000191986_1.pdf

For a super quick (non-expert) explanation of a Generative Adversarial Network, you essentially have 2 models that are pitted against each other: 1. A generator ANN creates synthetic examples 2. A evaluator ANN indicates how "realistic

At what point does the boundary between a high-altitude skydiving suit and re-entry spacecraft become blurred? With the right definitions someone could say that Yuri Gagarin has this record beat.

Sinatra is the perfect REST API server language for a client application. Given the way apps are going these days, I'm not sure why everyone isn't building single-page web apps that put 90% of the responsibility on the client an

forrst.com is essentially that, except they had to get more specific. As a small operation, you almost have to appeal to a niche or you will have a hard time finding a clear market.

I seriously thought this as well, and would be interested to see results of this type of experiment. Kind of like an OBEY GIANT kind of campaign.
