#203I somehow managed to get an 11 for the attractiveness. I could take it as a huge compliment, but I'm quite sure there was a bug

Maybe someone can enlighten me. I first heard about this problem 10 years ago. I'm sure it's been known far longer. Is there some extremely difficult algorithmic problem preventing these systems from working on people with darker skin? I had presumed it was a long corrected oversight but it still appears to be a problem.
Even photographic cameras have difficulty with exposure for dark skin. This is a problem as old as photography.
So the deltas are narrower creating a breakdown in the SNR for say edge detection?
Please excuse me if this is totally wrong and I sound ignorant, I assure you I am...

I thought the same. I read the TOS, they said it was all local, so I let the page load and then disconnected internet. It didn't seem to cause any problems.
So? A site like this could still send data when internet is on. Or the code could change at a later date.

I was more referring to the fact that it's possible to use it completely offline after the initial load, allowing you to use the app without risking any data leaving your machine.
That being said, I did talk to the author a little bit, and am inclined to trust him.

#207That was simply amazing. Having the video guide you through all the machine learning prediction steps as they got analyzed on your video feed worked flawless, both in terms of technical execution but also presentatio nwise. They also made some great points about how ridiculous some of these algorithms are (shake your head to lose 10 years of age, or just trying to predict BMI from a face photo)
And I was surprised to know that this has made its way into hiring! So, the job hunt is going to get even more superfluous? Really reminds me of that Episode in Black Mirror, where everything depends on your rating..

HN: "delete Facebook" Also HN: "love microsoft", "love apple" ... It's almost like there paid PR campaigns sweeping across social media. It's almost like there is a switch that gets flipped and all of a sudden you get "google is evil" spam. Then that gets turned off and another switch gets turned on and you get "facebook is evil". It's almost like much of news, traditional media and now social media are just platform…

Alternatively it's almost like Microsoft made a concerted effort to stop being the biggest scumbags in the entire industry and started doing some nice things, and people adjusted their opinions based on new evidence. Not that anyone is saying we should "love" them, but maybe we can stop referring to them as "Micro$oft" now.
Not everything has to be some giant conspiracy. Microsoft are simply being less evil than they were two decades ago. Google eschewed "Don't be evil" in favour of "Try to be less evil than Oracle, but beyond that don't worry too much". The "switch" that got flipped was the actions of those entities.
(As for Apple, I strongly disagree with your take. I've seen almost nothing but negative sentiment towards Apple for years now, even from former fanboys)
