It's nice being one of those people who wasn't using React because of its strange licensing. Facebook has its history. Now I can say it's really good to see that Facebook make the right call. I will still not be using React.

Yeah, there's no reason humans can't interact with the physical world through auxiliary VR worlds. We already do this with websites, VR will eventually be an interface to interact as a connected robotic device. At the same time, t

I can see this being interesting in traffic applications. Instead of the red/yellow/green traffic lights we have at intersections today, instead imagine a "laser counter" system that would "tag" various vehicle

It would be interesting to automatically generate the training data and feed it to the ML module in real time. You could hard-code an interactive agent that periodically peeked and coerced the input (between itself and the ML function). Thi

I find it slightly weird and offensive that the products contain sexual orientation information. Are the products being bought to be paired with other products, sexually? Or are they being bought to perform labor? Does the labor in any way

The beginning of this article is interesting. If I was from the distant future, maybe I'd ask these questions followed by the answers I'm expecting from 2017: Q: Why are people still working? A: You need to work to live. Q: Why do

I thought this too, at a first glance. There must be a more elegant method.

I agree, this is the sole reason why I am no longer using React for anything serious. Facebook is bad news, no pun intended. Thankfully, there are other solutions that don't have any strings attached.

In its current state, even cutting-edge machine learning is pretty accessible if you have a good understanding of linear algebra and calculus. If you want to do have a deeper understanding of machine learning then vector calculus, tensors,

If every known resource acquisition task was automated, and the discovery of unknown non-automated tasks could be automated to be automated, we'd be post-scarcity and the concepts of working and income wouldn't be useful metrics a

It's not so much that humans are intelligent as it as that machines are just really dumb, which is really just because humans are still too dumb. You are entitled to be skeptical based on your personal experiences. That one smart guy

Our life force diffuses over the options we perceive as viable and available. Many years from now, when we are all gone, kids will look back and wonder how humans could have ever been doing such jobs. Much in the same way we look back and f

That's just bad design. The self-checkout could easily prompt a few questions before you check out, based on what you scanned. "Hey, you got milk. Why not add a 4 pack of Oreos for 5% off? They are right behind you!"

> You can't just word associate and chant to make things related Oh but you can. It works on most humans... all humans. Everyone is subject to priming, bias, aggressive marketing and advertising.

Like MS Paint, but for VR. Interesting, the "websites" of VR will be worlds... I can totally see people throwing in this kinda stuff "just because wow new technology" in the same way that websites back in the 90s threw i

This is a great share. The Fourier example is a great way teach about Fourier series and decomposition. Very cool!

Lately my Pixel has been achieving sub KBps speeds on very good Wifi connection (laptop in same room 100MBps), and it reminded me of the old days with dial-up on win 98 -- but worse. The estimated download-time for the LinkedIn app (70MB..

Thanks for sharing. Enough people are hopping onto the React → Vue train for it to be worth looking into.

Even as a non-Facebook user, if you were to only post on HackerNews all of the time, a lot could be inferred about you. Apparently, the value of sharing exceeds the cost in privacy. There are many types of thoughts of that people would sh

People aren't paranoid enough. Being paranoid carries so much negative stigma, it feels that we are selecting against it. Try to a remember the last time you revealed your paranoia and weren't a complete buzzkill. But hey, you

I've always been a pretty average front-end guy, but React actually makes me like writing front end code. It's just a great way to think.

That difference approaches zero as programming more symbolic and as implementations become more available. Libraries like TensorFlow, Theano, etc. are great because then I can focus on what I want (math) instead of spending my time telling

I am surprised to hear you say that LSD is a soft drug. LSD can be dangerous for certain people. Even marijuana is not recommended for some people.

He was talking about burners being used to be seemingly undetectable, which got me thinking about people with nearly imperceptible tells, and how both of these "nearly invisible" things are seen by big brother. You are right thoug

To slightly bastardize the term "burner", people might think they don't have any burners, but everyone's got burners. I started to notice that one of my professors, around every ~25 sentences, he would capitalize the fir

We've built this new world where we are accustomed to leaving tiny traces of our minds in nooks and crannies, where they are waiting to be scraped up and analyzed. As those traces get larger and those nooks and crannies get unearthed,

I have every right to feel provoked if I believe someone else is intentionally wasting my time. That user, from my point of view, did not seem genuine in his interest in what I had to say.
