The new distbelief paper doesn't explain some things. Why are "receptive fields". An earlier paper claimed better than 15% results on imagenet and so does this, what changed. Why have you claimed sgd works on nonconvex well without comparin

Yeah, it's such a simple thing that nerds don't seem to get. Put out ads on craigslist, adwords, indiegogo. Whatever sells, do that. The biggest problem is having more ideas than time to write them into an ad, there's too many potential pro

Telecommuting high def video. Upstreaming dozens of security cam/robot videos from your house. Caching data. Google can cache much of youtube and web right on your internet router so that you pay the electricity bill instead of them. Teleme

I mean in their data center. Also, I'd be more impressed if they actually got the self-driving cars out to the world. It's been 5 years now. Google has a problem executing, they're lulled by their one success.

Like I said earlier, a luxury tax. The capitalist utopia of singapore has them. Tax the rich and give it to NASA or create multi-billion dollar seed fund for immortality hacktivists.

As much as I like google, I doubt they're as good as that. Their search and advertising is essentially a monopoly because they have such a data lead over anyone else. That's why facebook freaks them out because they know how having more dat

Maybe you should visit your local cancer ward or rat-eating homeless indian peasants and then decide what's what.

He's helping the poor by making energy cheaper indirectly through kickstarting an electric car industry. The tax issue can be resolved by luxury taxes. If people decide they'd like $100 million yacht, tax them $200 million for it. Countries

What if it's a relative you'd like to see live another 10 or 20 years because they're too young to die? Yeah, we need more playboys. The kid with cancer or malnutrition and his family should just learn to cope with death. Anti-death people

That's why I said government maybe needs to redistribute wealth if these rich folk genuinely don't give a shit about poor people. They can keep their money if they invest in society improving stuff. That's why I said immortality tech. He co

Why should he keep building nice UI's. He's proven himself as a can-do hacker and has millions in the bank. He could spend his resources saving lives instead of polishing what's a tiny hill in the global landscape of ideas.

DHH needs to get off his high horse. He's hacked his way into providing a tiny service for artsy folks but he's not exactly hacking on immortality tech or AI like some of us. The government needs to consider redistributing some of his wealt

That's what people said about driving cars as well. until a serious effort showed it was possible.

What were the things an autopilot couldn't handle. If more engineering effort were spent, couldn't those also be automatically handled. Plus, couldn't airplanes be remote controlled.

Airplanes should be fully automated, they probably already have the technology to do this. They could start with cargo planes and then move to passenger once the public fears are quelled.

The author neglected to mention that robocars are coming and so hitchhiking will become irrelevant before it's second coming.

Apple can take one of two directions - focus on data, like google does, by massively investing in siri (they should make forstall in charge) - focus on design, but expand out of consumer electronics (which will shrink) into cars and robots,

Airbnb should go all the way and start renting out trailers in the desert. Attach gigabit fiber as well, big opportunity in that. With self-driving cars and self-flying drones on the horizon there'd could be a first mover advantage for a sh

Hack them into Democratism. Voting's closed now, so there's no use hacking right now, have to wait 4 years.

Pretty much all your points come down to "ignore the past, where republicans always screw over the public, trust us this time". That approach is unscientific. It completely ignores data. And the numbers you're fuming about are a trick. The

Specialist interests will destroy the purity of both parties so it's no use arguing over numbers like that. It's a matter of choosing the lesser evil. Peter Norvig, who is a god among the mere mortals here, makes a better case than I could

Chill out, I'm half-trolling. It's election day. I knew I'd get a downvote-kicking. I've been on here for 3 years, I'm a hugely valuable but underrated member of this community.
