When you need to search foreign content, you can't just run your search query in a machine translation engine: there is no guarantee it will pick the meaning you need. With Tisane,…

Thank you! I will need the entire client code though. Let's switch to email - the one you logged on with is OK, right? EDIT: sent.

Thanks, Web64. What was the issue? Any error messages or you just didn't get the output you wanted? I imagine you're interested in Norwegian? EDIT: I forgot to mention that you don…

Hello HN, I am Vadim of Tisane Labs ( http://tisane.ai ). We build text analytics APIs. My natural language processing journey started over a decade ago, when I built an NLP engine…

> However, you've concluded that because the author described a problem with capitalism but not the equivalent problem with communism, the author must be a marxist. How? Why? Where…

It could be possible theoretically if not the context of the article. "We are asked to imagine" and so on. But even if it were the case, the fact that the same idea was commonplace…

I absolutely agree. Plus, the meaningfulness of the task sometimes is beyond economic; many people code in crazy hours because they love the job. I doubt it was the same with miner…

> your apparent argument that anyone criticising capitalism can only be a Soviet-era state-supporting "communist" That would be a highly creative way of summarising my post. My pro…

It's wonderful that there is someone with mind as unclouded by propaganda to enlighten me and improve my limited world view. Did you find any figures or arguments in the original p…

Ugh. The paper reeks of political agenda. The very first sentence is: > One of capitalism's most durable myths is that it has reduced human toil. What about the Communism? Why woul…

There's RNA and possibly others even on this planet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3331698/

It depends on the kind of panspermia. If it's about generic organic molecules then the DNA is a local construct. If it's about microorganisms, then it's different.

> Ata’s bones contain DNA that not only shows she was human The fact that there's a DNA already means it's not an alien, doesn't it? Having a life form with the same uber-complex c…

Sounds like a part publicity (NYT was invited), part employment fair for the Bezos' ventures. He can talk to the candidates, observe how they behave, and at the same time intrigue …

In addition to that, even if we were limited to the "last moment", there was about half a second or a second time to react. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that should be enough for t…

And today they circulate articles bragging with the number of supercomputers. It's the same as publicly listed companies increase headcount to look like they are thriving ("X is pr…

> Having complicated science underlying a product certainly doesn't excuse a company from producing products that people want. That's not the biggest obstacle, actually. The bigges…

Agree, and given the standard "liquidity preference", the founders are likely to net $0, except for the Google bonuses for the engineering (Jack Barker-like Rosenthal is not likely…

Unfortunately, very plausible. It's ridiculous how much neat stuff is buried by corporate lawyers "mitigating" a danger as probable as a meteorite strike.

That sounds plausible but they do collaborate with the .NET open-sourcing efforts, that could be an opportunity for them to test new waters.

I remember early reports about self-driving experiments saying that some of the issues where because the cars were driving at the speed limit, which is usually not the case in the …

Concerning another dead mobile OS, I never understood why Microsoft did not try to spin off or open-source their mobile effort. In fact, the rationale for killing it seems an examp…

> By 2020, China’s AI industry will be “in line” with the most advanced countries, with a core AI industry gross output exceeding RMB 150 billion (USD 22.5 billion) and AI-related …

I wonder how many people can pinpoint where the boundary between the two communities lies. What does this division help to achieve? The two communities are in exactly the same form…
