It's nice being one of those people who wasn't using React because of its strange licensing. Facebook has its history. Now I can say it's really good to see that Facebook make the …

Yeah, there's no reason humans can't interact with the physical world through auxiliary VR worlds. We already do this with websites, VR will eventually be an interface to interact …

I can see this being interesting in traffic applications. Instead of the red/yellow/green traffic lights we have at intersections today, instead imagine a "laser counter" system th…

It would be interesting to automatically generate the training data and feed it to the ML module in real time. You could hard-code an interactive agent that periodically peeked and…

I find it slightly weird and offensive that the products contain sexual orientation information. Are the products being bought to be paired with other products, sexually? Or are th…

The beginning of this article is interesting. If I was from the distant future, maybe I'd ask these questions followed by the answers I'm expecting from 2017: Q: Why are people sti…

I thought this too, at a first glance. There must be a more elegant method.

I agree, this is the sole reason why I am no longer using React for anything serious. Facebook is bad news, no pun intended. Thankfully, there are other solutions that don't have a…

In its current state, even cutting-edge machine learning is pretty accessible if you have a good understanding of linear algebra and calculus. If you want to do have a deeper under…

If every known resource acquisition task was automated, and the discovery of unknown non-automated tasks could be automated to be automated, we'd be post-scarcity and the concepts …

pls no

It's not so much that humans are intelligent as it as that machines are just really dumb, which is really just because humans are still too dumb. You are entitled to be skeptical b…

Our life force diffuses over the options we perceive as viable and available. Many years from now, when we are all gone, kids will look back and wonder how humans could have ever b…

Generating code + UI for some calculated topology of possible object/ticket interactions?

That's just bad design. The self-checkout could easily prompt a few questions before you check out, based on what you scanned. "Hey, you got milk. Why not add a 4 pack of Oreos for…

> You can't just word associate and chant to make things related Oh but you can. It works on most humans... all humans. Everyone is subject to priming, bias, aggressive marketing a…

Like MS Paint, but for VR. Interesting, the "websites" of VR will be worlds... I can totally see people throwing in this kinda stuff "just because wow new technology" in the same w…

This is a great share. The Fourier example is a great way teach about Fourier series and decomposition. Very cool!

Lately my Pixel has been achieving sub KBps speeds on very good Wifi connection (laptop in same room 100MBps), and it reminded me of the old days with dial-up on win 98 -- but wors…

Thanks for sharing. Enough people are hopping onto the React → Vue train for it to be worth looking into.

Even as a non-Facebook user, if you were to only post on HackerNews all of the time, a lot could be inferred about you. Apparently, the value of sharing exceeds the cost in privacy…

People aren't paranoid enough. Being paranoid carries so much negative stigma, it feels that we are selecting against it. Try to a remember the last time you revealed your paranoia…

> I hate writing react. Out of curiosity, what was the straw that broke the camel's back?

I've always been a pretty average front-end guy, but React actually makes me like writing front end code. It's just a great way to think.

That difference approaches zero as programming more symbolic and as implementations become more available. Libraries like TensorFlow, Theano, etc. are great because then I can focu…
