It's certainly low relative to any reasonable comp. Whether it's low in absolute terms is pretty subjective (but if you think 18 is expensive for a company with double digit growth, 280B in cash, and a 1.5% yield, I'm curious

Apple's multiple has always been much lower than almost every other tech company. It's always seemed completely irrational to me.. which is why I hold a lot of AAPL. They continually grow, make a boatload of money every quarter, a

Sure. But 30,000 is only 150x200. And not all of them are going to hit your face.

It's unclear whether he's talking specifically about the ARSCNFaceGeometry[1] or the ARFrame.capturedDepthData[2] or some combination of both. [1] https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arscnface

It's possible but I 3D printed the face mesh from their API and it didn't work to unlock Face ID on my phone. It did a pretty good job of scanning my face though: https://twitter.com/braddwyer/status/9305

As far as I know there's no "Attention" API. It also seems intentional that Apple has omitted an eye-tracking API as well (even though it seems like that would be trivial for them to add from a technical perspective) Is there

I haven't yet. We submitted a game about 3 weeks ago using front-facing ARKit as its core game mechanic and it hasn't been approved by Apple yet. I'm waiting to see if they're going to allow us to use the new technology

I've done some experimenting with it in my own apps. I was really surprised how well it does even when covering up the IR sensor prior to opening the app. I don't doubt that they are using the IR data to improve things. But it doe

I've been playing with the TrueDepth Camera APIs on the iPhone X. Some things I've noticed: 1) The ARKit "Face Mesh" seems to be a standard model that is scaled and skewed to fit your face (for example, it ignores glasse

Doubling in 20 years is only a 3.5% rate of return. That’s not great.

I’ve seen this going around twitter and the video looks cool but I don’t really understand what’s going on. Can someone explain it in layman’s terms?

A couple of hours. I made a tool to do it automatically. Flip page, hold up phone, move it around to a few different angles, flip page, repeat. I should note that’s 600k small squares so each full puzzle scan yields 81 small images.

Do you have any examples? I'd love to improve the algorithm. Someone on /r/programming pointed me here: http://apollon.issp.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~watanabe/sample/sudoku/in... But the app seems to alre

Sorry, I was pretty hand-wavy with that because it was basically just trial and error until it worked sufficiently well. The data I had available to mess with was the difference in width of the top of the puzzle and the bottom (with some tr

It's unclear whether Vision uses machine learning behind the scenes though. It's kind of implied in their docs that it uses CoreML behind the scenes (which makes sense with the other things it does like Face recognition and object

That's an interesting idea! What happens if the source puzzle doesn't have all of the digits present though?

As an ISU alum and an Iowa resident I’ve always been dumbfounded that we don’t highlight our state’s place in the history of computing more. I would totally be in favor of changing the state motto from “fields of opportunity” to “birthplace

(Sorry for the re-submit; got the link wrong the first time) I'd really like to have a discussion around this; is my hypothesis correct? Is computer vision the missing link for making useful AR apps? If not, what is? And what makes for
