This has the smell of a comment written by someone with limited real-world experience. Simply writing down the list of problems you would have to solve to build Shazam would take an entire afternoon. Yes, deep neural networks have proven re

One reason is that the amount of training data is many many orders of magnitude smaller. FWIW it seems the structure you're talking about exploiting is at a morphological and syntactic level, which modern language models tend to effect

High modularity refers to when a system's components can be cleanly separated and recombined. If I were to guess, I'd say that amelius is saying that it becomes increasingly common as companies grow for them to expand into functio

The point of this post is to call attention to the fact that while Objective C is actually a 30-year-old language that is the foundation of the entire Apple development ecosystem, some journalist misunderstood Objective C to be something th

The main breakdown products of aspartame are aspartic acid and phenylalanine. You may have been born with a genetic mutation that makes it possible for you to taste phenylalanine, which tastes bad.

If what surprised you was Figure 1 in the paper [1], note that it depicts only CS departments. The CS department at UW is widely considered among the best in the United States. Not that this is definitive, but it's ranked 6 in the US N

I don't think it is a mistake. I think the author is trying to make the case that startups end up having round-number valuations. I don't think he is making the case that the number of startups decreases exponentially as a functio

Yes; in order to qualify as a skeuomorph it doesn't need to _not_ serve a purpose, it just needs to retain design cues that were essential to the function of the original but not to the function of the copy. The iOS camera could very w

Nope. Skeuomorphism is a design concept whereby things that are in some way derived from other things retain design elements that were necessary in the original but aren't in the copy. The iOS shutter sound is an audio file played out

Most commercial flights are actually in the troposphere, which is about 17km deep in the temperate zone. Your point is still right: air density at 36000ft is ~0.37 kg/m^3, as opposed to 1.23 kg/m^3 at sea level.
