Glad to hear! Another thing you can try is saving the original and the depth map and creating a 3D photo from them on facebook [1] (you don't actually have to post it to see the effect). They do all kinds of things behind the scenes, s

Not exactly the same, but I made something a while ago that takes a 2D image and tries to infer a depth map to create a 3D effect: https://awesomealbum.com/depth It's based on [1] and runs entirely in the browser, allt

That's not what I'm saying though. I'm saying all PCs are general purpose devices, but many tablets aren't. That's why it makes sense to differentiate between the two and not lump them together.

by yunusabd 6y ago
Yes, naturally all-purpose includes media consumption as well.

by yunusabd 6y ago
True, there are some tablets that can be used for tasks usually done on a PC. Still there's an unknown percentage of tablets mostly for media consumption in there. So they're lumping together productivity/all-purpose device

*PC and tablet maker. If you subtract the # of tablets, Apple is far behind Lenovo, HP and Co. Strange that they lump these two together.

Hi HN, so I realized that there's no real digital equivalent to the good old (analog) photo album. Yes there are Google/Apple Photos or Flickr/Instagram for organizing and sharing photos. But none of those seems to embrace th

True, but in the context of computer science, isn't having encyclopedic knowledge a trivial problem? I mean, if you look at it that way, wikipedia itself "transcends" the limits of the human brain, and it's just a databa

That would have confused me too tbh. The wiki page says "Not to be confused with Vaporware." right at the top, so you're definitely not the only one.

TCX sounds cool, and apparently it's going to be supported in the next release of openrouteservice [1]. Looking forward to that, since the route itself was pretty solid. [1] https://github.com/GIScience/openroutese

I see, I'll play around with it a little more then. The thing is that the OSMAnd route looked way worse, and from using it on shorter routes occasionally I didn't really trust it.

I recently used openrouteservice [1] for a trip from Bremen to Berlin (~400km) and it worked pretty well. It even lets you choose between different types of bikes (road, MTB). I downloaded the GPX into OsmAnd on my phone for turn-by-turn di

Interesting, if you end up writing a follow-up article, it would be nice to include this kind of information, and why you (seem to have) decided against using ULMFiT in this case.

I agree with the other posters that the intro to NLP part is unnecessary. It reads like those recipe websites where they tell you their whole life story before the actual recipe. I get that it's good for SEO, but it's still annoyi

Thanks for the insights! I agree that baking is a good gateway. I think it would be even more persuasive if you could come up with some calculations, to show how much CO2 can be saved individually and collectively by following the recommend

Neat idea, any reason why you focus specifically on baking as the main activity? Found this [1] while looking for numbers for Germany. It's showing different values for the percentage of renewable energy use in GB, 38% vs 26% on your s

Will be interesting to see if they can do the same of what they did to Snapchat. At the same time, Instagram is becoming more and more overloaded with features, and it doesn't seem sustainable to just keep adding features like this eve
