   Was trying to think of a real world problem that this could solve. Basically you want multiple entities to peform tasks for each other (tagging) at multiple destinations at a minimal cost. One possibility is the taxi/uber/lyft hai

   Wow, that is an amazing video! 2006. Facial recognition. Sharing to your PDA ... oops! Then, a few months later, the iPhone happened.

   Why does the Spotify graph look like the bottom of a sigmoid and the Apple graph look like the top of a sigmoid. Just a statistical quirk? Or does free + paid have a higher top line? How does Spotify's ad-supported free play compare to

   Aha! Very cool; should look deeper. Don't know if there is any ultimate connection, but the fact that LuaJit and Torch7 go together invites exploration.

   This is a good companion to Gibney's Zero Day Docu: http://www.recode.net/2016/7/7/12045334/alex-gibney-zero-day... Went to a SmartGrid conference in 2009. What I learned: . $1T infrastructure is sc

   Interesting take on production. Multiple kinds of milk that use the same distribution medium of cartons and grocery stores. These products are decoupled from each other, so the development cost is comparatively linear. I agree with OP'

    Article conflates distribution with production. Production would be a bigger cow. Deep learning benefits from scale: both in computation power and in a larger corpus. From the example: is the final product the cow, the milk, or the nutritio

    D-K is one of my favorite patterns. This is the first time I've seen these charts. Some questions about methodology: The x-axis shows quartile, not score results. If the range was between 80 and 90%, then all participants were accurate

    Bought a MBP in May of 2015. AMD GPU means no CUDA. Two months ago, the screen went black. Lost a few days. Same thing happened to a friend with same model. Still have a MBP Retina from 2012. That model has a Nvidia chip, so probably as fas

    There is a really simple solution to patent trolls: make every patent follow the guidelines for "Petition to Make Special". In other words: "use it or lose it". PTMS was created to expedite patents based on the assumptio

    Back in the 80's, there were two AI camps: Syntax and Semantics. My favorite for syntax was Terry Winograd. For semantics was Roger Schank. Back then, I was trying to map AI onto biology. Syntax was easier; you could easily map the edg

    Anders Hejlsberg wrote the first mass-market Compiler+IDE with Turbo Pascal. What was unique is that TP would automatically bring up the editor and position the cursor on the offending error. Seems trivial now, but it was a game changer for

    So, this is a redesign. I was told that old Windmills (used for milling) evolved to have an even number of removable blades. This allowed the mill to continue operating, while repairing a damaged blade -- simply remove the opposing blade, d
