Exactly, I would say the biggest problem with oDesk is that it takes so long just to start hacking. The process should ideally be: 1) Claim a project you like 2) Clone the repo, start hacking 3) Get paid instead of 1) Apply to a project 2)

I know a lot of people in the industry are wondering if this type of legislation will come stateside. Don't know if anybody else noticed this, but with Google+ it looks like they've already implemented "opt-in" style facerec. But I think pe

One reason Blizzard would do this is to combat RMT + selling your account to a third party. All they would need to do is set up a crawler on eBay or any other website where somebody has posted a screenshot of their account for sale, then do

Yea, we're talking with a few people who've done this before. Once we get the the license choice squared away, right now we're discussing MIT vs AGPL, we'll publicly launch the source. If you, or anybody else reading this, wants early acce

We're talking with a few people who have more experience than us in managing open source projects, they'll be able to help us optimize it. Since it's a web API, we're venturing through unknown territory. I think it's probably going to look

I'd be curious to see how much of the job growth is coming from those with Masters and above.

Learn HTML and CSS and use that. If you expect to work with somebody technical, build something technical, and be a technology entrepreneur, get technical.

Super cool AI/CV mashup there---I've always loved watching GAs at work. We're thinking of coming up with a bunch of cool demos like this to describe different aspects of Computer Vision to those just starting to learn. For example, visualiz

Great piece. As an entrepreneur in the CV/AR industry, it's interesting to see how a larger company examines the problems faced by technology that is about to converge. As a smaller company, we have to come up with a product that will stick

We've been thinking about doing this for some time -- potentially have a FOSS (host yourself) version and a paid cloud version.

Facial recognition was the best out there and is something we're working on now.

We've been looking at the rage on twitter about this, please post what part of the face.com API you used below and we'll prioritize development:

Not to mention that the bindings are essentially C with Python syntax as they are mainly implement their functionality by causing side-effects :/.

by sabalaba 14y ago
It's going to be a freemium model--unlike Face.com which didn't even have a paid option. I think there could be some advantages to having an openly developed algorithm in the background, mainly so you could embed the project where a REST AP

by sabalaba 14y ago
Yes, eventually. The service might not be open-sourced, developing the algorithm as FOSS is something I've had in mind.

It's a newer domain because we used to be called 32ar (32ar.com registered 2012-03-23), I've been working on this full time since March.

To be perfectly honest, I sometimes wonder if the end goal of these acquisitions is to simply to acquihire all remaining talent in this space: PittPat (Google), polar rose (Apple), face.com (Facebook), etc.

by sabalaba 14y ago
I know a lot of people who will be shocked by the announcement that Face.com will be closing their API. If anything, it was amazingly easy to hack a project together with face.com, not to mention it's academic state-of-the-art recognition.

We can feel the pain -- I know a lot of people who are using that API. I've won a few hackathons using it myself. Thankfully, we're making an -- eventually open-source -- alternative to Face.com's REST API: http://news.ycombinator.com/item
