    Ha I actually think the complete opposite will be true - Here in New Zealand I got a degree in neuroscience without doing any papers outside of core science, whereas in the US I wo…

    This is completely untrue - machine learning is largely undergraduate mathematics - in fact a lot of the linear algebra is commonly taught in high school. Definitely agree it's pot…

    And just to clarfiy - it doesn't collect any data that you don't allow. It's also really easy to delete any (and all) associated data after an account has been created.

    Thanks for your feedback. You're told what 'begin' does when you click begin. The website is simply a demonstration of how face login can be simple and unobtrusive - it's not actua…

    Ask HN: Looking for cofounder for face recognition startup

    Hi, I'm looking for a business development cofounder for a face recognition + AR startup. I have a technical background and have built a prototype. I'm doing customer development a…

    I write all my CLIs in Python. I find that I always need various random things to work together and have always found Python to be the most robust at this. Plus it has pretty much …

    This is cool - well done to you. Even more than the money, just having someone tell them that their idea isn't terrible will be a great help.

    There will be people for whom this literally decides whether or not they start / keep working on a side project - it's a great idea.

    My gf has lots of problems with various foods and manages to keep on top of it fairly well - although she has very little concrete evidence about what it actually is that is causin…

    Deep learning is easy and popular - it's just as good a starting point as anything else. No one would argue that linear regression isn't a good starting point, but only because it'…

    I'd highly recommend course.fast.ai - it's focussed on deep learning, but is designed for beginners to get to a production stage.

    New Zealand is geographically quite large (about the length of France and Spain joined together, and a little bit less wide) and we have half the population of London!

    It's literally a Ponzi scheme. Where is the money coming from, other than speculation? It barely even hides this fact, given that all its content is about how to generate more cont…

    It's inferring the depth of all the points on the surface, including those it can't see in the image. This isn't surface rendering, it's depth estimation.

    No, inputs to each layer are concatenated before being passed through H.

    I agree - although I think there are three options: 1. Deep learning - therefore any deep learning framework 2. "Classical AI" - use OpenCV for most of it 3. APIs as you mentioned …

    I second this - the two golden startup fallacies: 1) someone will steal my idea, and 2) I'm going to be overburdened with users.

    Perhaps use a signup service that allows you to select which users can try your service.

    Words cannot describe how much I disagree with this article.

    In general you don't actually need crazy precision to train the nets, and a small number of Taylor expansion terms tends to approximate functions fairly well anyway.

    I was once told by a former Seattle based executive that the best way for a startup to price their product was to take what they thought it should be worth and then add a couple of…

    I'd also be really interested to learn how you generate synthetic data. Is it a 'simple' case of manually generating as much as possible and then using the statistics of this to bu…
