Ground control to Major Tom or Elon... This is exciting, 3 reusable rockets flying back to Earth playing Space Oddity. I think the car needs a good playlist. Something from 2001 would work plus a bit of metal.

I managed and worked on numerous projects like this and I know what you mean. However there is always a UAT phase that allows us to tackle issues like that. I dont think there was any kind of UAT phase here.

Not sure if that is the case. I have tried everything so far, fingers, nails and the only way is to direct your finger at an angle. These are not the same machines with the ones in Paddington, Victoria, etc. They are brand new and very unre

On a couple of occasions they refused to do that, not sure why. Still, what is the point of ticket machines and barriers if you are going to wave people through based on bouncer principles.

Not to mention the terrible new ticket machines introduced in train stations across the country, who supposedly have touch screens but require pressing on a specific angle the buttons. The machines have one of the worst UI designs I have ev

The whole assumption/connection of UFOs to extraterrestrials has to be eliminated in order to understand what these objects truly are. For some reason for decades the majority of people simply cannot think in a scientific way about UFO

Yep! Let's get rid a forest on this idea alone.

Just do it! We 've been waiting for decades for a replacement of visual basic.

Looking good. Question is how is it going to convince people to move over from Kafka.

Looking at this from a more general perspective of the Symbolic AI approach I would say it had its days. Data driven systems are proving to be a lot more powerful and easy to build. I remember I used to spend ages trying to encode my proble

I haven't encountered anything across answer set programming in the large as you put it. It is still pretty academic and mainly used for solving puzzle and optimization problems.

Can't resist, I will add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Answer_set_programming programming on this. Q. How many Answerset programmers does it take to change a lightbulb? A. {1}, {1,2}, {1,2,3}, {2,1}, {2,1,3}, {2,3

Not 100% sure I answer your question but I have used Prolog mixed with Java a while ago and as a high level layer for problem representation. It's not brilliant but at that time it did help me implement quite complex agent behavior wit

Like others said in here people like and use Excel because it is a flexible, visual, programming language. We haven't got alternative solutions for all the people who want to program like that. Instead more and more companies come up w

This area has a lot more to uncover. I visited Pylos two years ago and there are excavations in numerous sites around it. Can't wait to see what is next.

I was lucky enough to read and understand the Odyssey in ancient Greek and realize how beautiful it is. I always felt that it has really kick-started my part of the brain that imagines and dreams. Translations are great but if you could eve

They should have had commentary during launch from that guy who made comments during the unveiling of the Mars mission last year. The one who went to Burning Man.

Wish more people were thinking like Bret Victor. I 've been working with visualisation systems for more than 16 years and never seen anything like his software. The tool that he uses to easily construct charting within a few minutes is

Bret Victor-style dashboard and visualisation systems. I 've been using Qlikview, Tableau and Excel for years and they are all very limited in what they can do. New dashboard solutions come out every hour but everyone is copying each o

Nice post but sorry guys, never been a fan of integer programming. Too involved with genetic algorithms

Automated planning systems and languages have some interesting ideas you could look into. I worked on a similar idea with yours for resource allocation a while ago, even before deep learning and automated planning had a lot to offer.

Hi Dhruv, for those who live outside the US and would love to have an opportunity to work in this field is there any way to achieve this after taking the nanodegree? I live in the UK at the moment so what are the chances of getting a job as

I agree that AR will allow for software to live between us. We don't have that paradigm at the moment. Yes we have a lot of devices that we use but they are all passive, nothing that we can visualise, interact with and that is active i

Can you send a couple of links to get an idea?

Aren't these mainstream areas of research though?

I did research in Multi-Agent Systems and always believed that they are going to be the next big thing but in the end realised that our technological capabilities are not there yet. The urbit is probably a good idea towards that kind of com
