Great job! Love this.
adammenges··on Information operations directed at Hong Kong
This doesn’t make sense. The slaving government in ancient Egypt was supported for a long time. Just because a form of government exists doesn’t mean it isn’t abusive to some of it’s people or to other countries.

adammenges··on Apple Plans to Bankroll Original Podcasts to Fend Off Rivals
One interesting place Apple could add value is offering (once they combine all their services into Apple+, and then maybe only for those users) let podcast creators host ad-free versions of their episodes and give a little kick back to them when an episode is downloaded.

Huh, this is pretty cool, if anything as something to install in a VM and get a blast from the past

We've been surprised how little data folks have needed to use. If you look at the examples page you'll see in the lower right hand corner of the screen shot the number of examples they uploaded and trained on. Some examples, like the water tank, it's fine to some extent if it overfits on the training data, because the nest cam will only ever be pointed at the water tank, and it's worked in all situations and been robust for us with only ~500 examples. Other times folks are more interested in prototyping out an idea to see if it's possible on a wider scale, so a small dataset works well to prove out an idea.
adammenges··on Lobe – Deep Learning Made Simple
Yeah! You can mainly work with images and arbitrary vectors (that's what the bounding box examples we show are using, for instance) currently, and have plans to include native support for text, video, etc. as time progresses.
adammenges··on Lobe – Deep Learning Made Simple
Thanks!
adammenges··on Facebook Secretly Saved Videos Users Deleted
Definitely. I’ve been off Facebook for years but always felt judged for it. In the past few weeks it’s gone from being judged to being applauded for calling it.
adammenges··on Magic Leap One
That's a really good point. I've had friends in the past show my their VR demo with multi screens, and it's been awesome. Of course, resolution is the barrier to it being usable.

There're other interesting areas for productivity improvements too, like better interfaces for human computer interaction
