   Computer science has a plethora of studies related to OS process scheduling. All of it is directly relevant to human task management. I've never, ever seen in referenced in any management talks/books/etc.

   Fourier transform is not a classification mechanism. You can transform something into frequency domain, but that doesn't inform you which frequencies are most relevant in classifying samples.

   Can wavelet decompose be trained for classification of feature vectors with many dimensions?

   I would assume this depends on the nature of your account. On most of my accounts the probability * cost of getting hacked is much smaller than the probability * cost of loosing access.

   Hm. As far as perceived performance, I recently wrote a proof-of-concept library using a timer and calculating viewport intersection of an element. It feels less annoying than a registered scroll event, although I did not do any instrumen

   One interesting way of avoiding direct dependencies is to let modules interact with one another via reading/modifying DOM. It probably sounds strange, but the approach works well when you want to create reusable code that also follows

    Comparing comments here to the comments on, say, first Alpha Go post, reveals the amazing amount of AI bias on this website. When an expert system beats some human in a complex real-life problem the comments are about how it is narrow, bori

    Think about how much easier the whole thing would be if there was one button (one!) that switched between "entry" and "command" modes when you're holding it. Alternatively, it could be some kind of sound that's

    This is one of many examples why claims regarding near- or super- human performance in AI papers need to be taken with a good amount of salt. CIFAR-10 is great for experimenting with your algorithms, but it's a horrible dataset to do a

    Winston is, indeed, an amazing lecturer. And he has extremely interesting side comments. In one of his lectures there he pointed out that research papers with a single good idea are more likely to succeed (be cited and discussed) than a p

    I don't think this an adequate analogy. SVMs never completely captured the field. There were also random forest, boosting and other promising algorithms that delivered results "in parallel" (within the same time-frame). Also,

    In practical terms, performance without understanding can lead to highly surprising/counter-intuitive results when algorithms are applied to real-life problems. This doesn't matter much if you're doing movie suggestions or so

    I had very similar thoughts recently. Really glad someone took time to express them properly. Even on this very website... I feel there is an immense bias in favor of anything "deep" and "neural" when it comes to AI. Can

    As far as DRY, the worst aspect of no-dependencies approach is dealing with AJAX. The rest of it is actually not that bad. After some experimentation, I separated the functionality into "behaviors", which are fairly reusable acros

    Also, it would be cool not to have a "power saving" mode engaging and disengaging, taking time.

    The full reach of this issue might not be limited to just text. It might be possible to mess with scripts in programs like Word by abusing rich text, macros and styles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoORMRbptTg

    It's hard to tell these days. Many people today fully accept the idea that human should adapt themselves to the existing machines and technologies, rather than design/adapt those machines and technologies to human needs.

    Unfortunately, the ways AI researchers measure and compare their results to human performance are often rather weird and favor algorithms via.. let's say "unusual" experiment setup. For example, face recognition performance i

    "SQL is the worst form of database querying, except for all the other forms." IMO, if you think of Prolog(s) as a database(s), that model is far more enjoyable to work with than SQL.

    Yes, but how different would those 7K frames would really be? Same lighting, same background, same surrounding objects, the exact same condition of the vehicle's interior and exterior, same quirks of the camera's color profile, et
