As well as being remarkably small, it's remarkably effective - they weren't exaggerating in those videos where they talk about how well it distinguishes movements. I was prepared for a slightly disconnected interaction with false

Looks like there's huge potential value with a tool like this. Does it have a way to handle page content that's less relevant? For instance plenty of genuinely useful articles have footers full of clickbait ads & comments - wh

For the non-physical bots, it would've made sense to have them "shadow" a human until they were equally or more capable and only then roll out a hotel with them taking the helm. Things like reception desk Q&A could easily

Whilst I wouldn't claim the point made is incorrect, I feel Mr Smead hasn't really made the argument that it's a changeover point. Where's the evidence that this isn't just going to be a continuation of a relatively

What's wrong with just complaining as normal if this happens? I've ordered literally hundreds of books and with the two that had issues, they immediately dispatched another and in one case told me I needn't return the origina

Might not quite qualify as an auto-antonym, but I am entertained by the new use of "drop" which is increasingly common in ambiguous headlines, perhaps because the dual meaning enhances the clickbait level: "Apple has dropped

Maybe this isn't a universal viewpoint, but to me if the concern is to increase social connections amongst men, it seems odd to lump that in with hobbies like it's some bonus goal. I know there are some hobbies that force you into

This is definitely feasible, it'll depend on how much you are happy to go for tools like those mentioned here or if you want to roll your own (which I expect would be enjoyable but much slower) If your roll your own, you'll probab

That looks really impressive, integrating a number of open source tools with a simple but nice UI. Do you have any measures of how well it recognises spoken commands? And have you seen anyone using it with non-American accents for English?

I wonder if the Tuesday at 10am optimal emailing time has an equivalent with HN submissions?

I believe that the "narrator" on Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom is done with text-to-speech. It's ironic given the subject matter, but the intonation and pronunciation is just too consistent and repetitive. A lot of review

Personally I'd rather they set up a more sustainable training approach - I'm not overly keen on having a doctor who's been "tired" out. I've seen a junior NHS doctor treating a partner in such a state of tiredn

Agreed. Otherwise it undermines the point of having controls. If the random feature adjusted the settings then it might be a bit more acceptable but leaving them the same whilst drawing a dramatically different face breaks their "contr

I hear anecdotally about these "levels" and it's an obvious strategy, but in my experience, I usually get paid back without escalation (that's not to say they aren't escalating the matter discretely on their side w&

The figure I saw (on the BBC article and the linked Swedish article) was 17,000 hours per year in this school. That still seems suspect: estimating a school year of 35 weeks that's 175 days, thus 97 hours per day across all teachers. E

This is in Europe so there's bound to be a law. In the UK it's 1 week minimum notice period for redundancy and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same in Ireland.

I thought from the headline it might be a case of hearing broadband modems (I tend to be able to hear when my home one is more/less active) but this is more involved and is genuinely listening to the WiFi (my modem noises are not reall

It's probably much more nuanced than that. Let's take the example of someone in country X using email that's run from the US - this doesn't per se mean that the email company is illegally operating in country X. It could

Oh, and as a follow-up, if you want to indirectly help make the recognition better, especially for non-English speakers or minority accents, contributing voice samples here is a great way help (no coding/technical skills, so share it w

You're right to highlight the point about the UK's former lack of wealth (as it's not obvious), but I was amused by the reference to "workers areas" - presumably "working class areas" as people have worked
