I agree. I saw some of the videos from WWDC and AirPlay was basically doing what the Wii U is proposing to do: multi player, split views, augmented display or mirroring. I didn't realise it was so flexible.

I concur. I can't understand why everyone is so forgiving to Google. "I don't understand what they are thinking but I'm sure it could be cool". At this point I think Google's new management have decided to kill or monetize the many experime

It's not that people weren't willing to pay for Wii games above mobile game prices, they clearly did. The problem is that mobile phones became more powerful than the Wii and DS faster than Nintendo probably imagined, and the value was lost.

Very helpful article. Note that this is for an implementation of a Naive Bayes model, sometimes called 'idiot' Bayes. It assumes independent observations and therefore can be overconfident. More complex Bayes net models are way harder to im

I don't get IE9. It's not compatible with the legacy IE6 rubbish, and yet not conformant enough with HTML5 etc so it requires much extra work to support compared to FF, Chrome, Safari. Thank goodness for Chrome Frame.

Judea Pearl's work wasn't about machine learning so much as introducing the idea of using probability to AI reasoning. In the early days uncertainty was handled in AI using ad hoc techniques (e.g. Mycin) and the use of probability was regar

They should have a section for G+ results which are equivalent of 'paid links' i.e. if their rank has been boosted then mark them as such. Otherwise they risk losing credibility on search results as the first page is not best match but unma

Or at least wipe itself so software and encryption can be removed. You would think they would have a "Find my iDrone" function with remote wipe for such an expensive piece of equipment.

Radial menus have been around for a while. Path have done it very well though. It would be somewhat unwise to have your whole business model based on a menu animation. I wouldn't have found out about Path without this post, so I imagine tha

This was a popular trend in the 90s e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prograph Check out the Mactech articles in the references. I even wrote a decent size app in prograph. While I really liked it a large code base was really hard to navi

People often get carried away thinking about linear progression from the current state when the general problem is NP-hard. With Siri, however, I'm not interested in it being a person, but something that can help set reminders, timers, appo

Great news. The 2.4 rc11 release has been stable in my experience, I'm looking forward to the update. Thank you for all your work on redis.

For every step in AI there are articles with how it's going to soon change everything...Writers don't understand NP-Hard problems.

Type in #17 at the end of the URL and hit refresh to step over the page. Shift click doesn't seem to work on that one.

Fair enough (shamefully a bit bored and trying to create my own entertainment...). Must be slow news day on HN if this is on the front page.

So the question is do you need a whole separate unit within a company to create this "innovation"? Sometimes in microsoft land "innovation" == "not reading widely enough".

The main item I seem to recall Ryan Dahl and others commenting on was V8's garbage collection which is pretty laze because web pages don't stay open for long periods of time. Obviously this is different on the server. If true, that's pretty

The problem with Javascript is that because of political reasons it has only evolved slightly in the last 12 years, so it takes a lot of effort to avoid the bad parts. I about CoffeeScript as JSLint + Syntactic Sugar. Both of which mean you

I think Steve is particularly pissed about Android. Consider that Eric Schmidt stayed in the board of Apple during the development of the iPhone without declaring a conflict of interest while Google were secretly developing Android. I imagi

The big hope is that XCode 4.2 reduces the overhead (i.e. suck less) of Objective-C through LLVM & LLDB's improved debugger, more static checking and automatic reference counting.

It sounds like Groupon are spending a lot of money educating the market. The problem is that the barriers to entry are low and national reach doesn't clearly provide an advantage for services that sell locally.

I imagine the SVP for cloud computing at Apple is happy to pay for highly redundant services so he doesn't invoke the Wrath of Jobs (TM). Steve Jobs probably pushed for multi-vendor redundancy so he could confidently say at the keynote that

The animation was cool the first time, then after that it just got annoying - like having a flash ad on the page. I changed my search to Bing for the first time ever because of this animation.

Probably the bump from Verizon sales. It looks like the demand has cooled for Verizon iPhones so the numbers might not be so impressive next quarter, unless there is an exodus from RIM because of reporting like this. iCrack doesn't have the

Considering iTunes is the desktop companion for iOS it should be a showcase of excellent UI and efficiency. I use it all the time and while it (eventually) gets the job done it's a pretty average experience. People keep complaining about it

Man, what a bad article. I think Apple success has been enabled their investment in a solid OS platform that they have been able to move to new devices. This is not easy, and it is often overlooked. It takes a long time to build an OS. The

From the website I think this analysis is correct. Holters store the 24 hour data on the machine as well. The 12 leads are not continuous but set pieces which also store locally. If they were providing real-time monitoring with alerts then
