This isn't solely a Hot Girl thing. Hot Guys have inherent stature and power too.

GPUs do support branching, though it causes a performance hit if nearby threads do not take the same branch. They also have a form of cache now. You can switch it from a hardware-m…

I disagree -- we don't need molecular-level detail, but we do need more detail than machine learning modelers (including Numenta) put in now. Existing models don't spike, so there …

Like all of machine learning, hierarchical temporal memories are overhyped and underdeliver. The field has a long way to go.

I've been using checkvist.com, more fully featured but still clean and keyboard driven.

It might want to purchase an ads company of some sort to start competing with Google more fiercely in the lucrative ad space. ARM seems unlikely given that their previous purchases…

You probably would have said the same a few years ago, but Youtube emerged as a recent Google/Facebook sized opportunity. Someone could displace Google/Facebook in their core compe…

So what happens when a social network starts that includes links to your friends current Facebook profiles but guarantees much stronger privacy? Think Friendfeed but more ambitious…

I haven't read it, but this may be up your alley: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/193435645X/ref=s9_cxhsh_co_...

I'm a graduate student at CMU. I've seen the kinds of things NELL learns. It's not pretty. Signal to noise is really, really bad. Not knocking Tom or his students, they're brillian…

They're still using desktop operating systems and software while everyone else is using mobile for everything, even when an app has no place on a phone (AutoCAD, really??) So lets …

laughs and high fives?

Great. I think the key question is whether Microsoft will agree to support it in Internet Explorer. They have a competing format, JPEG XR. It has been standardized. Microsoft's pat…

It may be instructive to consider how deliberate the Open Source branding and media frenzy was, and particularly the few paragraphs where the author deliberately positions himself …

If HFCS as produced in sodas is the same thing, why does it make sodas taste significantly different?

That Apple patent the article is about is probably why Dell didn't copy the feature exactly.

I spent the last 3 months living in a tent in the mountains of New Mexico. Between my laptop and my cell phone's tethering, there was no issue at all getting work done. And it was …

That's really good, kudos. Any chance you could specify an option to leave array comprehensions/generator expressions alone for JS1.7+ platforms, btw?

Young women care about manliness of the sort you describe, because they don't meet many rich guys and aren't trying to get married anyway. Women in their late twenties care about m…

I always just do it recursively and go "oh did you mean efficiently?" I mean reversing a link list is literally reverse the tail of the list recursively then append the head to the…

I think the new thing will be social networking sites that facilitate "meetups" in small groups. "Hey who wants to go rafting down the Rio today!?" type things. That will naturally…

Dataflow languages are certainly great for many application domains for which they aren't currently used. Alternative visual layouts remain to be proven in practice. This is anothe…

Pro Tips: - You may be tempted to get a shiny new GTX 480 (Fermi) or Radeon HD 5xxx. They don't work yet, not even in a real Mac Pro (despite Apple's recent 10.6.4 update.) - You c…

Features should be looked at individually to determine whether their expressive power is worth their potential for abuse, and also what the alternative would be for the use cases f…

dig the idea but poorly executed. - needs to be a much faster interface, with intelligent kb shortcuts - need to be able to easily cross-reference and reorganize the "tree" - more …
