hmm. i just found the building to be underwhelming compared to the pictures i had seen.

I did not get to experience the acoustics , but i tend to agree with you about the exterior. The building is rather unappealing box in a colorless surrounding.

Not really, deep learning is still a research subject. It's not commodity for small companies, it's probably commodity for google, (e.g. they can use deep learning to design optimal deep learning systems)

Google in full offence on ML/AI. Their computing advantage enables them to outperform everyone else at this point. AI dominance and monopoly is in sight.

Nice, but a rounded pentagon building is nothing impressive these days.

Cant they use a simulation to do the training and then finetune it using the poor drone?

I have no doubt that some day (soon?) neural networks will be able to explain themselves (using language). But the explanation they give will be less than satisfactory to our aesthetic criteria. Occam's razor is a great aesthetic rule,

Maybe the problem itself is not elegant (hence why it's not solved in closed form)? Neural networks learn thousands of different algorithms in parallel. It's probably not a single idea behind it, it may be thousands. It's mor

From their website https://www.deepmap.ai/ it seems they are focusing on high-definition, centimeter-accuracy maps. Why is that important? It seems with a rough map and training, a robot can find its destination.

I find that the frequency of posts about solo entrepreneurs has increased. Are there any startups working for this niche?

This actually does the trick. I go to a nearby coffee shop to get my coffee. It's like, changing context allows you to switch to "work mode".

Great idea. I do have an irrational fear of cockroaches, but i am not sure overcoming the fear of spiders is a good thing.

Only SL has some crowd. Highfidelity has some good architectural ideas, but development is moving so slowly. They deliberately chose empty regions, though i think they will eventually have to add extensive in-world building controls to make

> You can plug into Second Life or High Fidelity with a VR headset, but few people do. Which was disappointing to me, because among the crowds in SL/opensim/highfidelity there are many creators and early adopters.

It's also used for strabismus ( https://www.diplopiagame.com/ ) But i don't think any of these are killer apps, these are very niche demographics.

This would require a big plunge in the greek economy that people are not willing to take. To be able to recover swiftly from such a crash, the greek economy would have to switch from a very inflexible and sclerotic one (that it is now) to a

You are correct that he is all drama but we need to see more substance. None of his positions were actually original, and his actions are constantly divisive. I m sure he s interesting as a superstar tv person, but, other than his storytell

First they should ask if you want to get into VR. I mean, there is a certain crisis, as the hype did not live up and obvious problems (sickness) remained obvious.

Quite a statement. What does it take one to become a "hero" nowadays? And how is he in any way connected to the working class?
