I think machine learning boils down to 2 fundamental issues: 1) Having a model class that is powerful enough to represent the data. and 2) Being able to find a "good enough" optimal solution over that model class. In principle ove

I'm afraid I don't have much input on your questions since I'm not there yet. Since it appears you've had quite some success getting leads I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding your last HN post: 1) Did arib

Ah, it sounds like what's happening is this: joomla is a large piece of complex PHP code and you don't know how to figure out how to integrate the changes you want to make into it. Also there may be a lot of code in the framework

It's a little hard to tell from your question where exactly your problem lies. If you've done codeacademy I assume you've already got some coding skills. You say you don't know how to apply those skills to doing somethi

You mean a head up display (HUD) for a racecar ? I'd be interested in talking with you about the project, it might be something I could partner with you on. You can find my contact info in the website linked from my HN profile, send me

A few questions come to mind that aren't answered by perusing the site, though I haven't yet looked at the downloadable files. 1) How comprehensive are the court decisions ? For example which Federal Courts are covered and for wh

There are many VPS services for Linux. Amazon EC2, for example should let you use pretty much any Linux system image you want and they have many available for easy installation. There are also some VPS services for OSX, which should be eas

By monetize you mean make $100 or so a month right ? With RPM's around a few dollars for AdSense isn't that the most he would be looking at in revenue, or am I missing something ?

The worst case outcome of letting things continue along their current path is quite simply the end of the human race. The system is forcing 100's of millions of people to choose between utter misery or soul crushing servitude to capita

"typical CRUD-based with a little business logic that lots of SaaS products are in the end" Isn't the market for that sort of thing getting crowded by now ?

I doubt there are any books specifically on the subject of how to build an online OCR service. If you're interested in the underlying technology of OCR or the orthogonal question of the mechanics of building web applications in genera

There are a number of existing OCR web services, both free and paid (try Googling "online ocr"). I think some of them use Tesseract. What advantages would your service offer compared to these ?

StackOverflow is a machine designed to do one thing: make it so that, for any given programming question, you will get a search engine hit on their site and find a good answer quickly. Yes, and that is an incredibly valuable service. I ha

I think we're talking here about problems that can be fed to a digital computer and hence can be represented by a finite number of bits. I believe that would exclude non-rational weights.

The size of the set k may be exponential but if you have a decision function D(C) == 1 iff there exists a path of cost < C you can use that function to do a binary search over all k's in polynomial time because binary search is log

It's true that TSP is not NP complete because it is not in NP, because it is an optimization problem, not a decision problem. It's also true that TSP is NP hard. The simplest way to see this is that if you have solved a TSP you ha

I recommend using a time tracking app of some kind. The goal isn't to produce timesheets for your clients, just for you personally to keep track of how much time you spend working on projects. For this to be helpful you need to be ver

The common trend we see with the US government is total lack of restraint. It acts as a tyrant and a bully. 1) The government acquires drone technology. Rather than use it to kill a few known terrorists it operates massive drone programs

I don't know about code "quality", which is a rather nebulous notion that no one seems able to accurately define, but in terms of functionality there may be a tendency to underestimate what well-financed teams in industry can

"Start a business with a business model that allows you to generate revenue in month 1" It doesn't seem to me this is very realistic. My impression is that building any kind of serious SaaS is going to be at least a 6-12 mont

It's not "all your fault". The problem is that there is a belief in the industry that 15-30 minutes of technical interviewing tells more about a candidate than that person's entire career history. I have seen no actual

I always use spaces because there is no ambiguity of interpretation (ie. 1 space is always 1 space whereas tabs can be set to different indentations depending on the editor). Using tabs leads to the potential for different indentation beha

Why are you here ? This is absolutely typical of the problem with society. Judge me, exclude me, push me under a bridge. It doesn't matter what you do to me, the day will come when man will be judged by those he has judged.
