This is not about US domestic politics. Will the US government use FB/Twitter to delete the supporters' posts for the candidates it doesn't like?

Would you categorize Facebook/Twitter then, as the tool for US government to influence geopolitics on its behalf?

The last few strongholds I see with C++ is probably game development. To crack into gaming industry, C++ is still a must-have skill. But TBH, I really don't want to use C++ if the circumstance allows. The language spec is just so overt

I doubt that is the case. Look up how Japanese companies are treated in late 80s and 90s. When one felt under threat, all rules will be forgone.

I don't think South Korean companies will have such concerns.

Albums in Kpop world is a different thing. Think of buying albums more like a kickstarter fundraising for fans to support their idols. The photo book or the chance to get a ticket for a fan meeting is arguably a bigger draw than that CD its

Even Taylor Swift releases the full new Album on youtube the first day, which is unthinkable even 5 years ago. I think the industry already accept it is the way forward.

If you use Google video search (from the search engine itself) often enough, you will many even majority of the times, the top N results are most likely not from Youtube, even though that is what I want. No creating a competitor isn't

This ain't mind-blowing by any means IMO. If the said company has unknown track record, then doing business with them is risky. What if the company goes out of business in near future? Or get acquired (actually I think A lot of infra c

Pretty interesting. The few shots learning capacity is very much there. I would imagine Chatbot can now really get somewhat correctable thus usable, by continuously providing examples to the model.

For real. But the title itself is something worth a moment of reflection. Doctoral programs are supposed to be scarce, selective and of high profile. Now they are being treated as a service that can be requested and compared against.

Unintended? Hardly. The current administration has pushed hard for some time now, to encourage women to "go back to family". http://www.xinhuanet.com/politics/2016-02/24/c_1118142363.ht...

Amazing the internet can empower an individual blog post to force the previously most formidable startup's CEO to resign. Fear this inter connected world. Fear the power of language.

I am pretty catching up-to-date with this field, and I didn't really get my DL(AI though it is pointless buzzword) news from media. As far as I can remember, most important research from OpenAI is InfoGAN. Others feel somewhat below ou

OpenAI is a weird animal. Their research seems generally less impactful than rest of the top tier labs out there. But they do have great people on the team. Is it because their engineering infrastructure is subpar?

Here is a crazy idea: What didn't Amazon make this its own Nintendo Switch? A stand with a detachable tablet? Won't this be even better?

by ganfortran 9y ago
But Amazon's products are cheap. Echo first gets out, it is merely 99 dollars, and at the time, a vanilla bluetooth speaker worth that much. It is about accessibility.

What makes a language scientific? Apparently, modern science is born in the land where people don't bother to persuade others that their language, by nature, is more scientific than the rest. The push of such argument is inherently nat

Agree with you. I think what I need to make it more clear, is DNN puts little assumption on data. It usually consumes it as raw pixels, in case of images. The architecture of NN itself is the biggest assumption here, as it is how it will be
