As it is usual when reading Quora "answers".

If it's a niche shouldn't you charge way more? $400 sounds really low to me.

Great idea! How did you market it?

How does this work? How can you even tell VoIP data from non-VoIP data? I would have guessed that everything is encrypted.

And the TypeScript compiler is now capable of generating the polyfills too, so you don't even need Babel for that: https://bit.ly/2UlW9hs Example taken from here: https://mariussch…

TypeScript supports async/await pretty well (after transpilation of course).

Nice, clear explanation. Looking forward to the Bayesian inference one! One note though: I think on equation 25 you are missing a log on the left hand side.

I don't understand this fixation on symbolic reasoning. Do any other animals practice this? If the answer is no, then it is probably not the most important milestone to AGI or at l…

Why wouldn't you buy a Ryzen?

Interestingly though the failures of image generation are often of the missing narrative kind: eg. windowless bedrooms, eyes/ears at wrong places on animals. It feels like that dee…

h3h3Productions became famous by exposing stupid trends on YouTube (e.g. social experiments) but they also cover current events sometimes: https://www.youtube.com/user/h3h3Producti…

I think this is a very good point. Years ago people were worried about gradient descent getting stuck at a local minima, plausibly because this problem is very obvious in a 3 dimen…

You can define 'intelligent life' however you want. No matter how high you set the bar though, an algorithm that reproduces the intelligence of the average human and can be run in …

I see quite a few people reading this on my commute. How do you find it so far?

Can't you just disable notifications from the Facebook app? Android allows it, and I reckon iOS does too. I found this to be a nice solution to deal with obnoxious apps because you…

Certainly possible. Dinosaurs were around longer than mammals and their intelligence did not reach human-level. Makes sense if we consider that evolution is a blind process which d…

I didn't notice it either. I would also be willing to bet that the majority of people who say his recreation was poorly done only say so because of having prior knowledge about the…
