This problem is actually pretty obvious to fix and you don't even need a neural net - it can definitely be done "old school" computer vision. Simply detect the presence of "flashing emergency lights" in the oncoming…
I wholeheartedly agree. It's by definition an insult and I don't believe an academic measurement of stupidity (or intelligence) is a terribly fruitful endeavor. "My math says you're stupid!" is a place some people may…
What, the elongated, shiny, rotating thing that was able to accelerate without any effect on its rate of rotation? Totally a comet, definitely, 100% guaranteed.
TF's deprecation velocity was way too high for my taste. Things we wrote would stop working randomly with their updates. I feel very similar to you about the models being "buried too deep" in their (ever-changing)…
Interesting, however this just reflects an overfitted model. Fundamentally, this photo is not that different from a fashion influencer's posts. We're a fashion engine and our system fully detected both of the people and…
Let me flip this around / play devil's advocate (haha). I remember that "election dial" showing 80% chance of Hillary on (I believe) the NYT website. Was that grounded in reality? There was an uproar about the legality…
I didn't quite understand, what is the problem with Instagram? It's too popular? Or just that it's not dropping in popularity vs Facebook (due to their recent adjustments)? I wouldn't consider Instagram to be a…
That's definitely possible they've already more or less decided. Either way, they're pulling off an impressive optimization to obtain maximum taxpayer funded subsidies.
That's incredible. Humalog is a quite similar low price in Canada. It's strange that it'd actually be economical for many American diabetics to just book a (yearly) flight to Canada and buy 12 months worth of insulin.
This is a really good article, I'm impressed. If you read only one deep learning article this month, make it this one. I'm going to borrow that analogy of "teenagers perceptions of sex" - it's hilariously accurate for…
Exactly, do it or else he's going to take his ball and go home (or take his fund's money and go to China) But don't tell him what happens if he ever tries to take his money OUT of China, we can let that be a "fun"…
I think they wanted to make it free but still deal with the fact that anything that isn't nailed down will get stolen in China. Even toilet paper - you should see the "rations" many hotels there give to guests for a…
The internet was actually fine for a long time (just proxy over SSH for everything). But they randomly "turn up the dials" on the firewall to block SSH and so you'll get intermittent outages. It's gotten progressively…
I've lived and done a fair amount of business there. The car thing is true. I would say people there care a lot more about their immediate network of friends / family and a lot less about anyone else. It's very safe to…
Hey, WoofCoin is going to change the world! Only WoofCoin uses blockchain technology to finally solve the age old question "who's a good boy?"
Based on the paper, I think there is sufficient evidence for "mice who have increases in sEH expression in Müller glia cells" to consider they stop taking Omega3. As I understand it, that's some sort of genetic…
I think you're right. It was probably a good bootstrapping strategy at the start to get good designs into the system and also some marketing benefits from promoting top designs from contests. The more I think about it,…
Why is it so surprising? From both the designer and shopper perspectives, the Old Way does seem better. With the Old Way: Designer: does N work to create a design and has X% chance of winning $2500. They focus on what…
Oh absolutely, I thought that type of active investor was so contrived that this was just an article written more or less for entertainment (to point out how hard it is to be an active investor).
Given the hyperbole and deity references, I thought the article was more for amusement than anything else.
Does this mean I'm going to have to charge my clothing now too?
It's certainly possible that they stole the bitcoins and paid for a few days (a week?) worth of goods. But 1) the article does not provide any real evidence to support for this theory, 2) it's not a sufficient amount to…
I'm sorry, but a country of 25 million people is "dodging sanctions" with tens of millions of dollars in bitcoins? That's not really an amount of money to dodge much of anything at all.
I completely agree. My company does image recognition in fashion and this dataset is both way too easy and not useful. I'd love to see a client with such an easy problem (telling between shoes and bags in inventory…
Tesla took the opposite approach of what I described (the Subaru approach). Tesla took the approach that the machine is in control and the human has to detect and take over when the machine makes a mistake. That is…
