Google, for instance, has a ton of data about me. They don't sell that data directly to advertisers, because if they give up that data then it loses all value to Google because the advertisers would then be able to resell it. So instea

What's the difference at that point if Disney's content is on Amazon rather than Netflix. They are betting that their entire catalog (ABC, Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN, etc) is worth more direct to consumer than whatever small fraction

I doubt they put up Ducktales content on Youtube expecting hundreds of millions of view and a ton of advertising money. It's more to have the IP consumed and fresh in kids' and parents' minds for when a new Ducktales movie or

Aren't those examples in which it'd be fine for it to be confused? That confusion shouldn't lead to any dangerous situations, just a different speed than other cars. It would also be interesting to know whether Waymo factors

Really well-written and engaging article. It seems the main point of an article like this from Google's perspective is gaining the public's trust. I'm sure most people are worried about the edge-cases that are so hard to run

Any insight on why his failures innovating at GE that caused him to resign aren't a red flag for an innovative company like Uber? Just because they're looking for a grown up?

There are 2 sentences in the entire article about Sundar, essentially saying he should have handled this better. There is no great way to handle this. If he hadn't fired him there would be 10x more articles demanding his resignation as

Probably, because longer-lived and interest in football are not inherent biologically. A male baby is not born interested in football, it is socialized. Men work more dangerous jobs and are socialized into more unhealthy behaviors, diets, e

Sure, if your store mainly sells your apples do whatever you want. But once you open everyone else to sell their apples at your store for a cut, and everyone starts to rely on it as the only apple marketplace, screwing over the apple farmer

It's more like I will sell the apples and oranges of all the farms except for that one farmer who dared to try to open up an apple store. At some point, if you are the only apple and orange store in the area, the government may decide

fast.ai's narrative is "AI is easy for what you probably want to use it for". There are a ton of awesome applications that are enabled by the level of AI taught in the course. However, Rachel's article is about how AGI i

Not sure why the exact details of state of the art research is relevant here. Obviously that definition of RL is dumbing it down, as I'm sure Rachel knows, but the point is simple - teaching a computer to do something specific a human

The interesting thing here is that they are selling both their own products AND providing a platform for others to sell their products. Unless they compete with the products Amazon is making.

Not sure what you're asking. The hospitals usually need to provided a lot of doctor-annotated data for training. But the custom solution is whatever the clients want it to be, not necessarily a question-answering system like Jeopardy t

That's exactly what we do with all our pilot clients before we go into production. I'm not sure that IBM publishes these results after the pilot is done though.

Google and Amazon were presumably left out because the segment was in the context of the healthcare field. I don't think DeepMind's healthcare initiatives were very mature at that point. I agree the language is problematic for non

For me, Watson Health is actually working on a lot of interesting work in the healthcare space that will eventually lead to improvement in care and outcomes. And hospitals are exactly the kind of clients that IBM handles well - complicated

I'm a SWE at Watson Health. What do you think was so absurd about it? It definitely didn't explain the constraints and limitations well enough (it won't diagnose any problem you can have), but for the cancer scenario the segm

The marketing has made it very hard to have a real conversation about IBM Watson. There is no such singular thing as "Watson". IBM offers a ML solution for health, for NLP, chatbots, etc. They all have very different capabilities

This is great, thanks! I wonder how it would do with a more state-of-the-art NN model rather than relying on word frequency as a model.

Is there a way to combine the character-level OCR with knowledge of the English dictionary? Something like `pregrarrmung` should be able to map to 'programming' especially with n-gram context of pregrarrmung experience.
