I used Antlr v3 to create a NLP parser for calendar events for iOS and Android. It took longer than expected. iOS + C runtime was opaque, so had to write a tool for debugging. Android + Java runtime overran memory, so had to break into sepa

This is a great overview. Have been very keen on emulating biological neurons, where axons and dendrites may span beyond a single layer. ResNets seem like a step in that direction.

TL;DR CRISPR will lead to fewer people on autism/spectrum? A friend mentioned his son is a bit "Aspy" - he said it with a bit of pride in his voice. Both father and son are brilliant coders. Meanwhile, there's Modafinil.

There has been a lot of interest in Breadfruit as a slow carb crop. A friend mentioned that demand exceeds current supply.

A friend developed a cellular automata engine, 20 years ago. He sampled porn for palette mapping. There was Zero correlation of physical shapes. While the visuals were abstract, the color scheme felt warm and inviting. Did the original mate

Information was from the top negative review on Amazon: "I called Bose support and they told me the QC30 was never intended to be a replacement for the QC20. They said the NC wouldn’t be as strong and wasn’t intended to be. That is why

Didn't know about the QC30s. Amazon review mentions that the noise cancelling is not as extreme as QC20 or QC35 (by design, according to Bose). My guess is that the new buds will allow the iPhone as a 3rd microphone, with Apple's

Yep, Doppler and Apple delaying product. A friend has worn the simple noise cancelling version of the Hear One to a loud concert. She loves them. Another friend has the Bragi Dash earbuds and was complaining of some Bluetooth drop-out. IM

So, same market as the DopplerLabs Hear One? I am the ideal customer: some hearing loss from my VJ days, but still appreciate frequency response. I render all my music at 192Khz. Basic hearing aids suck at frequency response. Most drop off

A side benefit of the movie was that it prompted me to read Ted Chiang's story again. The first time, I had skipped past the bit about Variational Calculus. Now, I'm intrigued by Fermat's Calculus of Variations. http:/&

Thanks for the link. Mentioned elsewhere that Wolfram's software was used live in filming to analyze the semagraphs. But, I missed the Wolfram blog post. Am going to see the movie again particularly for that sequence (plus the Jóhann J

Interesting. This could map onto a cellular automata. Do the connections evolve from left to right? Or do you start with a static size universe?
