If the price and size of an MRI machine could be brought down to that of a tanning bed, how might you see having one in every home improve health care?

I have a feeling there will always be a way to detect trace footprints of a 'fake' but assuming the technology is perfected, what is the best way to verify that a Deepfake video is not you without analyzing the video? Thinking on

It’s crazy how life just kept building and building on itself. I feel like there were so many opportunities for life to hit a ceiling and never evolve past X stage but yet somehow we broke out.

Didn’t VR have the same hype train surrounding it that led to Facebook dropping a cool billion on it to acquire Oculus? To date what do we really have to show in VR? How is Oculus/Palmer any less guilty than Magic Leap? Give it 5 more

Ha as the owner of a few drones who has dreamed up a few ideas like this I think the biggest issue is noise. Can’t realistically have one of these flying in an office or social setting without irritating a bunch of people. Would be curious

If electrons are the lowest level of granularity when it comes to determining state in computers then maybe it is the same in the mind? I imagine a computer made of silicon with the trillions of grooves that the mind has in biological form

I just finished Creativity, Inc. by Ed Catmull who was one of the founders of Pixar and current president. Highly recommend the book for anyone on HN. In the book Ed Catmull wrote that Steve Jobs would say regularly "as brilliant as Ap

Ha think about all of the surface area on Facebook employees faces/arms that you could tattoo advertising on. I wonder if they have considered the financial opportunity cost there?

As a windows gamer growing up I always felt Mac was deliberately going out of its way to not be a first class platform for gaming. Anyone know why Steve Jobs might have ignored the demand for gaming? Maybe it was his time at Atari?

Ha, even as a 10 year old kid in '96 I found the Mac's decision to have a 1 button mouse to be painful (coming from windows). I remember not having much of a concept of how companies were ran but instinctively felt there had to be

I would love to see Apple create an iPod with a 10Tb SSD and e-ink display pre-loaded with virtually every song from iTunes. The biggest issue is that it would just be a matter of time before someone cracked the music library encryption.. W

What about paying someone to do client work as a test? That is what I've found to be the best approach for me. It gives the candidate a very concrete understanding of the kind of work they'll be doing as opposed to a more contrive

Most surprising part of the crash to me was not that the car followed the wrong lane markers but that it had no concept of a completely static barrier in its path. This should have resolved with the driver calling Tesla to complain about wh

Is it possible that a massive array of GPUs might be more economical than a few real quantum chips that need to be cooled to absolute zero?

I think the biggest mistake people make when counting this wealth is that if it is hoarded and never spent then it might as well not exist and should be viewed as anti-inflationary. What if all the billionaires in the world decided 'le

I wonder if Tesla can recreate the crash environment given the data captured from their sensors to reproduce the failure in a simulation? See this article about a company attempting to do this in Unreal Engine 4 https://www.unrea

Hmm might be an opportunity here to bring the 'adult' culture of hacker news to a more broader platform. Could probably most naturally be accomplished with 'subs' on HN but might dilute the core brand?
