I would imagine that if you are training on the text of a novel, then anything that happened earlier in the text may be relevant for predicting the next events. Especially if it's something like a detective novel that has clues about t

You and londons_explore seem to be talking about different things. I read their comment as being about just generating fake reviews that don't need interaction.

As someone who's been into a CFAR workshop, I think their problem is the opposite, actually. The article's description makes it sound complicated, but the fact is that a lot of the techniques are pretty simple when it comes down t

If they were focusing in that part, I think the revenue sharing + cloud combo could open totally new opportunities that would also justify the investment in a custom OS. I'm thinking of something like a return to the Unix philosophy.

DragonBox ( http://www.dragonboxapp.com/ ) is fantastic. I have literally seen elementary school kids argue over who gets to be the next one to solve equations playing it. If you have an iOS or Android tablet, they also hav
