Where's the Stargate?

No, not laptops. I do run a few hackintosh desktops though. Macbooks are still the best (unless you are a heavy gamer). Over the years of having used a variety of machines, I haven't found anything close. Build/Reliability: Probab

I've seen a number of neural network approaches for super-resolution like waifu, but I haven't seen something general purpose thats better than bicubic/fourier/nearest neighbor. Would be nice if the author did a comparis

I haven't looked into it yet, but I'm curious about using utilizing my Teslas in case of emergency for power. With 75kwh+ each (leased so no concern about cycles) I don't think I'd need a powerwall at home.

Consider the outgoing Macbook Pros. You can probably get a good deal on one.

We're talking about a system for people trying to cheat card games. It's not novel or technically sophisticated. This would never work in a casino/card room. The people who buy this would do so with the intention of scamming

I meant "on the table" as in on the felt. That's generally the rule I've seen at nicer cardrooms. But yes I agree nothing like this would ever work in a casino.

I'd say they are more lax now with using your phone, but I doubt they would let you set your phone ON the actual table next to the cards during a hand.

This is pretty silly. No casinos or card rooms let you have a phone/device at the table. That aside, you need to have a special marked deck. People have tried something similar with flourescent ink and special glasses. I think professi

Boeing already does this, I think AI just started to subscribe to it.

I wonder if it was just a matter of getting permission to fly that route over China / East China Sea.

I used to complement my MacBook with a hackintosh. I now have a beefy xeon server running esxi. This lets me run windows/mac/and primarily linux. I'd still consider my MacBook my main machine even though my storage and faster

Effectively they are paying even less if you consider taxes (which go back to the federal government). Maybe a clever tax scheme can incentivize it.

Even though it's now Japanese owned, I've found the density of 7-11 to be so much higher in Taiwan and Thailand. Overall its a convenient place to go to whose prices are relatively set, products are safe, and money service legitim

My initial reaction was to question their growing levels of vertical integration, but their volume is so huge that they will probably rival UPS/Fedex if you included all of Amazons shipments across carriers. It would cost Amazon 40-50b

ATT leases space since they built out more recently. Comcast I have no idea, it was probably built out long ago and they have some agreement. I did find an interesting case of a HOA that is doing their own fiber via Paxio in Milpitas. I wi

I've considered trying to get fiber for gigabit+ wired in my subdivision here in the Bay Area (with HOA approval). We have fiber coming up to the main road and have been wired for ATT/Comcast for a long time. Since we already have

Has not been an issue for me (I do have a second generation). I believe there was a firmware fix sometime down the line. Actually that is another plus, they have been better about updates than Nest. My Nest actually stopped working on more

For a company whose primary product is/was the Nest Thermostat, I've found they have been terrible at innovation and keeping up with competition. The product has been virtually unchanged for the last 3-4 years. What have they been

For actual mobile devices, yes there is no need. FP64 only has a use in scientific research, maybe finance and a few other fields. Even there you would do a lot of mixed precision stuff. The reason that the support was there was probably th

Hmm around $4/hr after a partial upfront. I'm guessing that upfront is going to be just about the cost of a server which is around $50k.

Well this also shows their commitment to Tensorflow if they willing to pay to fab custom chips for it. Then again, in the Google scheme of things that's probably not a huge cost. They've probably carefully modeled the energy savin

Interesting. Plenty of work has been done with FPGAs, and a few have developed ASICs like DaDianNao in China [1]. Google though actually has the resources to deploy them in their datacenters. Microsoft explored something similar to accelera

True, I grouped them together since they are both semi unregulated alternative lenders. Google also had a stake/partnership with LendingClub.

This isn't surprising. The entire personal loan/payday loan industry is terribly corrupt. This only comes a few days after Google banned ads for payday loan companies. I think regulation is coming soon to the alternative-loan indu

I don't really think A/B testing something like this, with this size of a sample, on a subscription based niche-product can give you any real insights. Why not poll your subscribers or (assuming you can get the costs to work out)

I think it was explained that this experiment was only under the umbrella of YCF because it was the closest fit, so none of the traditional rules or criteria really apply. However, I think Pinboard would be a better fit for the normal YC pr
