It's 15 companies that adopted a technique and it's part of a broader constellation of experiments in this area which have been confounding the traditional logic that productivity …

Soft launched an early alpha of a customisable news aggregator last month. https://jkl.io/

So you've conflated regional with generic, a distinction I pointed out first, without any worked reasoning at all. People generally lose their trademarks quickly if they don't enfo…

Feta comes from φέτα/~"slice", so it's not named after a region. Melbourne has one of the largest Greek populations in the world. Why don't these Greek people have right to their h…

https://www.maxlaumeister.com/blog/google-is-deleting-your-f... has some, but anyone who's been following it knows it's happening beyond that. I am surprised that infinitesoup is a…

Censorship and demonetisation on YouTube seems to be happening to people fairly regularly, and without appeal, via poorly calibrated algorithms, corporate pressure and to satisfy m…

Google approaching this kind of challenge with neural networks[0]. Which is, perhaps, connected to why they are putting Boston Dynamics up for sale. [0] https://www.youtube.com/wat…

What are we up to now? Three preloaded spyware scandals, possible remote execution via the Intel stack and now this vulnerability. That's just what we know about, who knows what el…

I think in addition to histograms and features like SIFT, SURF, and others like DAISY[0] that would permit searching with images as a query it would be beneficial just to use a neu…

Here are two Facebook posts from Taleb related to the topic and a ~3 minute video that has the main point. "The establishment composed of journos, BS-Vending talking heads with wel…

1. If that's the case perhaps another kind of blurring? "Intriguing properties of neural networks" ( https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.6199.pdf page 6) has examples where you get radicall…

The examples where this happens have always seemed fairly weak to me. How many of the grave errors, not just where it's the wrong type of animal or container but actually thinking …

The full results in the report seem to me be somewhat more complex to interpret than the summary, or the original submission title, suggest. On the first question (Q18jt), a 4 poin…

Isn't the Titan X also about RAM? It has 12GB to the GTX 1080's 8GB. At the low end you could just buy more than one GTX 1080, so it looks like a good deal there, but at the top en…

DDG has done excellent work building their traffic[0] and have been getting a solid 10-12 million or so searches per day for a while. Even if you halve that due to !bang redirects …

Getting a representative sample in social science is really hard. "The median household income of a Trump voter so far in the primaries is about $72,000, based on estimates derived…

Interestingly the word cosmetic, ultimately, descends from the Greek word κόσμος (kosmos) from which the word cosmos comes directly.

In the Lancet[0] there is also a persuasive case made for a connection between coeliac (autoimmune) and a host of neurological symptoms. The more these mechanisms are understood th…

I don't speak with any authority on this. With word2vec you can do operations like king - man + woman and the nearest vector will be queen. Similarly capital cities will be in a si…

It also reminds me of the chairs in Beer's Project Cybersyn. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Cybersyn

The indestructable deer was having an Akira-like engagement with tanks for a while.

The Bayesian take on this issue is interesting.[0] In their analysis of 72 replications only 8 had evidence pointing in the other direction and with a strong Bayes Factor. [0] http…

>usually Not for me this time, nor earlier this week. I believe the HN staff have subscriptions to most of these, as they have argued I should get over it when I complained, but th…
