Yeah, grex (the library powering this) is really cool, but doesn’t generalize very well. I’m sure there are ways to improve it, but it’s not a trivial thing to do.

Using https://regex.help/ , I got this beauty which passes all the ones, which should pass. Obviously some room for improvement ;) But it works! ^(?:http(?:(?:://(?:(?:(?:code\.google\.com/events/#&am

Sounds like a smart decision and, while it sucks to have things not work out, I’m sure the author will do more cool stuff down the line. For everyone interested in “small SaaS” (for the lack of the better term), I really recommend listening

This was a fun project to build and I thought some of y'all might find it helpful to use. Keen to get feedback either way!

Fun to see what this paper did - and Codenames itself is great! It's best in person, of course, but it also works really well online with a bunch of friends. There's a free, official, online version here https://codenam

Delightful. I really like the trend of single-purpose, “artsy” websites, it feels like there’s been more of them recently. ...someone should make a site, which lists them all.

I lead the automation efforts at Rainforest and it's always interesting to see how our customers use our product to implement their QA. This is a nice example of how Mattermost is using both Rainforest and Cypress in their release proc

Very interesting to see this! From the comments it seems that a bunch of people were burned by Selenium-style testing in the past. There's a pretty interesting paper/thesis [0] about this which talks abut what kind of breakages ar

Right, I wouldn’t argue that it’s “only” anything! Like any human issue, there are many complex factors, including the fact that some matches are better than others. But I think our culture over-emphasizes finding the perfect match and tota

Check out the book “The Course of Love” by Allain de Botton. I don’t think the problem is that the parents were happy! It’s that they were apparently unable to teach the being-happy-in-a-relationship skill to their kids. And it is a skill:

If you want to understand why protesting can be inneffective, I highly recommend "Twitter and Tear Gas" by Zeynep Tufekci ( https://www.twitterandteargas.org/ with CC version available - but buy it!). One important

I'm just at NIPS and Apple does indeed have a decent presence, which is a good sign (even if there are no actual publications yet). Super interesting to see how this will play out compared to their past. There's lots of criticism

Only some billions of years of evolution and a lifetime of knowledge abut how our world looks like! When you see a picture of a cat your brain has a whole lot of context to put the picture into: it looks like some live creature, has eyes, l

From the code samples, it looks like OpenCV... which is pretty hard to beat for well-understood image processing algos like thresholdling etc. I guess at this point you can do it "at scale" by throwing enough servers and caching a

This is very interesting, but the real question is: how do you test which approach is better? For example, in the text detection case there are almost unlimited combinations of transforms that you can put together. Usually you use some hybr

Now it gets much more fuzzy, but for the sake of the argument (after all why are we here? ;)) I'm willing to bet that there are lots of data science jobs that could be done well given a good knowledge of how to use deep learning and no

That really depends on what you want to do - I bet there are still people making very decent living after learning how to make WordPress themes in 2005. Sure, you need to keep up to date and constantly learn, but you don't necessarily

That's a little bit like saying: don't learn web development, it's too easy, invest in learning fundamentals of computer science instead. Sure, if you want to innovate in the field of academic AI, you probably need to know mu

Nice article - it's good to be realistic about what we can do with current tools. I feel like the gist of what current neural nets can do is "pattern recognition". If that's fair, I also suspect that most people underest
