I question how well Watson would handle single questions at a time being asked compared to the millions of requests a day it would get if it was setup like say, Siri. Not that you are wrong in any way, they could certainly scale into an eve

I like how someone commented on the main article that the time is getting close to where AI can step up to the plate of creativeness and how widespread and easy this will make our lives. Watson is a giant server farm, not a single PC, this

I see where you thought I was asserting anything, when I said the 50 - 50 split was a killer for me doing most of the work. I hadn't really meant it like that but since your right in that customer acquisition isn't easy for people that have

You have to question why the idea would never have seen the light of day. If it's strictly because you have a cruddy job that pays minimum wage but you are smart and capable then yeah this would be the kind of opportunity one would be able

Not sure why you got down-voted so much, it didn't seem like you were being ridiculous. Maybe people didn't like when you equated the OP with a loan shark? That said sometimes people need loan sharks.

I'd take you up on the offer, but for a couple things. Maybe it just means this isn't for me. 1 - That 50 - 50 split is a killer when I'm doing most of the work. 2 - You talk about taking a month or two and full time working on this project

I'm not trying to be presumptuous, but I've never seen someone defy laws of physics by still having plenty of time to live while also spending over half that life online. It's simple math is all I'm getting at. I go through this with some f

I'm not sure how that researcher in that article is okay with saying that if someone is spending 10 - 14 online but isn't ruining employment, relationships and children he's fine. The reason he doesn't have a job, a relationship and childre

If the price of patent filing was to increase it would increase the barrier for people that don't have a lot of money. Filing in the US starts at $390. http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/ac/qs/ope/fee100512.htm . I picture a person without a

I second biot's idea. I'll buy it right now though since I want to see it go further and you need money for that. Might I suggest for the time being adding in a right click and "open in browser" that leads to the comment page for the articl

Why exactly should it be free and open source? Because last time I checked hacker news isn't specifically free or open source, it's news for hackers, and it's parent company (ycombinator) tailors itself to startups and investors. Both of wh

I gave you a round of applause for stating that Americans should hold their government to a higher standard. Last time I checked we Americans walk around thinking we are the best and most free place in the world. Sometime's it feels like th

Oh good, I am right... My point was that the ONLY thing that was listed was details being the separating point, and that there is more to it then that. It wasn't meant as a quip just a clarification, if anything a question even, not requiri

by jeremyarussell 14y ago
I'd venture to say that it takes much more then just details to separate an amateur from a master. Knowledge of theory, an eye for errors big and small, etc. Maybe the details separate the good from the best?

I've got an ASUS laptop running windows 8, I can say I'm looking forward to forgetting this dumb touchy trackpad and replacing it with a leap. (I may even try and remove the trackpad, hollowing out the space for a leap. If I feel brave :) )

I'm one nerd, and I know a solid two hundred plus people in real life that asked me what the Instagram thing was all about because they had heard about some stuff and needed clarification. I won't run through what I talked to them about but

Real hackers wouldn't ever limit their minds the way your comment shows you do. That said I'll be grabbing this and giving it a test run.

It's interesting that at the end of the article the author mentions that the end game is often the creation of a newer better vault. I often wonder what it would be like if everything that was in the biggest best vaults was unleashed to cha

That's crazy talk, like all the people that pay over a dollar in the humble bundles or actually go out and buy the music they tried out via illegal download. Just crazy talk.

Sons of Anarchy has been better and better each season, this years topped it off for me. There may be a few other shows and cartoons (Oh noooes.) But as far as live action it's SOA all the way. (I must disclose that I haven't seen breaking

Where's the data to support this claim? You do understand there were the crusades and all the violence out of that. (Don't get me started on the wars actually talked about in the bible as well, where god says from Deuteronomy 20:14 "As for

I feel like if they had Apple would have quietly said no, but that since they did get funded and all that they were able to get people to put pressure on Apple. Obviously it's hard to say if things would have played out like that but it's s

I'd love to read a book detailing how he went about it. (Other then the bible.) It looks beautiful. That he had the forethought to put a restaurant and theater in is topping on the cake.

I keep thinking of the crusades as a prime example of higher power gone wrong(and just how bad humans can get, and also that happened way back when and all). It's just interesting to me though that you say we need a higher power, and that h

Really? No higher anything tells me to be a good person, I do it because it's the right thing to do and I've seen pain and wouldn't want people to experience it for no reason. Maybe you need someone/something to tell you what's right and wr

In those instances I slide the devs money slider down and let it go more to charity. (And then give that copy to someone else to share the love.)

For me the magic about the humble bundles was never the games, but the charities. In this case more money for them is better, and one can never have too many games anyways. For as long as the bundles are still high quality I'll always get t
