Are these numbers for real, and are these all Bay Area? I'm further North and pull no where near these numbers as an ML PhD with a lot of experience now in the tech industry. Have I goofed on all negotiations?

I didn't look too hard but didn't see any similar free services with full DNS management and an API for cache validation. Would love a suggestion here too!

Seeing a link to the dailymail is a hint that HN may be jumping the shark. This is a UK rag of a paper. Clearly this driver is outside of the recommended highway driving scenario. There are multiple warnings both audible and big red indicat

I was also desperate to see this. And rightly so, here's what looks like a prototype link from above - and it's beautiful! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-drmRYsvUaM You can really appreciate the difference betwe

Please show a paper where fine-grained vehicle classification in unconstrained images is anywhere near this performance from 20 years ago. You will not be able to, because it wasn't.

This is brilliant, thank you. On the Musk transcript I found this formatting confusing: "Have you played Kerbal Space Program? What do you think SpaceX uses for testing software?" I can't access Reddit to see what the origina

I don't see anything new here, but for any practioners like myself Scikit-learn and Spyder were the Python tools which finally moved me from a die hard MATLAB junkie. I grabbed the handy Anaconda package from here: https://s

So I had always heard this is the case, and now believe this must be a common misconception. See Table 6 in this file from the Office of National Statistics: http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tabl

This would work for 2D games, but 3D projection doesn't allow this. Furthermore in a 3D game there are more than two degrees of freedom.

Were they playing anything or just walking around in the demo? I have one and have tested it out with many people. When people get sick it's usually because they've been in one of the less interactive demos just sort of looking ar

Which attributes would you sample from a normal distribution here? I don't see any numerical attributes where this would make sense. One could add weight, height, age etc. and sample from the relevant geographical/gender distributions?

Wasn't obvious to me on a first skim through either, but on second viewing all simple variable names are single letters - exactly as one would get through minifying. See for example here and below: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5133829

In a mission to gather data then clearly extra megapixels give you extra data. You cannot argue against that! We aren't talking amateur photography here where the quality of the shot is important and a decent lens beats higher megapixels, w

Adding complementary features such as edges (I'm guessing this is what you mean by lines) tends to improve the accuracy. It would also be possible to do this in real time. I don't have time to watch the full video so I don't know what featu

The deformable part based model is pretty much /the/ state-of-the-art object detection model. There is absolutely no way it should be attributed to "Liu Liu". It's creators are Felzenszwalb et al.[1]. The performance of DPMs far surpasses a

Pedantically a 400% increase would be going from 1 malware app to 5. "The amount of malware is 400% what it used to be" would be 1 to 4.

I have also used libsvm a lot and can heartily recommend it - but only for non-linear kernels. If you wish to use a linear SVM (which if you aren't familiar with machine learning you should probably try first) then for your own sake try lib

It could only render for a single viewpoint. I would imagine the simplest approach (i.e. without tracking) would be to render for the viewpoint of the closest detected head.

Translating MATLAB -> C isn't too bad and could be done without any domain knowledge. Just remember the pesky 1 start for MATLAB arrays... Having a quick glance through the code I haven't seen any major reliance on MATLAB built-ins. Als

You will need at least the image processing toolbox and statistics toolbox for MATLAB to run the code.

A major selling point for me is not only organising papers but the ability to annotate papers with full text search for your notes - something available with the mendeley app on the iPad. If no other reader includes this ability soon I know

They already have the faces annotated via the tagging system. To be really sneaky they could inject faces which have been detected but NOT tagged. However they probably have enough data anyway - enough being the largest facial recognition t
