mrcabada··on Apple's Tim Cook says AR and VR headsets are for connection and communication
They've been doing that for years and always end up yielding to the web standard. Happened with webapps, happened with web push notifications (finally being released).

Hopefully they are not thinking the same for WebXR, if so, we'd be years away from getting it.

But I kinda suspect they are releasing WebXR along with their AR glasses

mrcabada··on F.C.C. Repeals Net Neutrality Rules
R.I.P. innovative America, everything there is dying for people to innovate :-(
mrcabada··on It’s time to kill the web app
Long live web apps. It’s not that they need to be killed, it’s that they are evolving and need/urge to evolve more. With so many OS, HTML works perfectly to distribute one single source-code in all platforms. I see it the other way around, “web apps” are here to stay and evolve.
mrcabada··on Made a Drag n' Drop Bot-building Platform, but No Time to Manage it
It's free to try, and I charge if the user wants to keep a bot turned on for more than X days. And for the cost, the server pays itself with a few users paying.
mrcabada··on The cognitive differences between men and women
How do we now this isn't something that is being caused due to the female being suppressed in our history? This studies are biased due to the fact that females haven't been treated equally for centuries and this affects on how the female see the world, affecting the real meaning of the study.

It's like taking a male that you have treated emotionally bad and you tell him thru all his life he can't do this and that and a male where you tell him he must be strong, he must do this and that. Boths are males and I bet you will find the same differences between these two males and between a male and a female.

I believe the gap is more cultural-made than sex-made. Basically there are the same differences of capabilities between two random males and between a random male and a random female.
mrcabada··on Show HN: Reading My Smart Home Activity to Help My Dad Find His Keys
Oh, because we had a talk about all the places that he looked for and the Laundry was the only place he hadn't look for, he didn't remember he went there. In the activity visualizer you can tell how around 3:00am there was activity on the laundry zone twice. We knew for sure when they keys were lost, after he arrived home.
mrcabada··on TensorFlow 1.0 Released
Could MacBook Pros (with Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB, to be more specific) train with GPU? I've always wanted to train algorithms but without using the GPU it is really slow.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
My business still growing and in the beta phase, it's a one-person businesses but haven't launched. Hope it becomes a succesful one-person business anytime soon. Here it is how it looks right now: https://talkbot.io Let's see how it looks in a fee months.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: I've got data, how do I train for NLP?
We want to start by trying to predict what to reply.

E.g. if the user says: "Sweet!", "Thanks", "Ty", "Amazing", etc. asume that the bot has to reply with "No problem" or "Anytime".

mrcabada··on Ask HN: How long did it take to release your side project in 2016?
I haven't launched completely, but it's been around 5 months since I started it. I'm building a visual-programming environment to build chatbots with pure drand and drop. Still lots of stuff to do, but I launched a successful beta.

You can see it in action: https://talkbot.io

Website took 2 days to build, the idea, webapp and server took around 5 months.

I haven't charged a penny to my clients, because it's still in beta, but I'm on my way on making it no-beta soon and start monetizing.

Unexpected: Got featured in some blogs and it rained clients and e-mails, too demanding for one-person project. I wasn't ready, nor my product, marketing was going to happen later.

P.S. I'm the only coder and designer, should've been faster with more people on the "team".

mrcabada··on Building Jarvis
I have this on my home since 2014 and made by me. I offer this solution to clients in my city with a startup I founded called Hivee https://hivee.io

No magic needed.

mrcabada··on Amazon Go
This seems easy to outsmart or confuse.

What if I go with someone that doesn't have an Amazon Go account grabs some stuff for me and throw it to me?

Or how about I go with someone that has an Amazon Go account too and we divide in two, he goes for the milks I go for the cereals. We meet just before the "check-out" and he gives me my milk I give him his cereal.

I'd need to know more about the technical stuff to know how it could be confused, or to know if it's even possible to.

mrcabada··on Amazon Go
Something that I've learned is that technology will change everything. If we would've put excuses to all technology that is here today, we'd still be living 30 years in average. We are evolving, and so is the way of living and the definition of humanity.

Generations that are being born today won't see a supermarket as a social place at all, and those are the generations that will be accepting and shaping how humanity interacts, so you better adapt to their "normal" life.

mrcabada··on Show HN: Skov – A visual programming environment
Thanks for feedback! Sometimes I have difficulties with english grammar, spanish is my native language.
mrcabada··on Show HN: Skov – A visual programming environment
Nice, I like it's simplicity. I'm also working on a visual programming environment, but for building chatbots. Check it out, I bet you can get some ideas for yours.

I just released the beta: https://talkbot.io

How do you avoid wires overlapping other wires on more complex "flows"?

mrcabada··on Place recognition with WiFi fingerprints using Autoencoders and Neural Networks
I've worked on a similar approach for Indoor Locationing, I had 5 APs with OpenWRT reading the RSSI of my phone and some Neural Nets implementation, which eventually learned where I am in the house.

mrcabada··on [dead]
Totally agree.

But I'm mexican and live in Mexico. I know software isn't the solution for everything but that's how I can help from here.

mrcabada··on Ask HN: What are the best personal project websites you've seen?
I'll share mine: http://cabada.mx

It's a grid of all the "cool" personal projects I've made since I started coding.

mrcabada··on Ask HN: How did Dyn fail to fend off DDOS?
I wonder if there's any way to tell apart real-users-requests from fake-users-requests.

If I'm not wrong, it's only preventable by increasing the resources of the server, doing anti-bots things like CAPTCHAS (not feasible for stand-alone IoT devices) or detecting weird patterns (which can be masked really easily).

How will DDoS attack be preventable in the future? There will be so many things and nano-thing connected to the internet that can act as "attackers". Is getting harder and harder everyday.

mrcabada··on Show HN: A Natural Language Query Engine Without Machine Learning
This is nice! Would it be possible to run the code with other language models? (Spanish, German, and any other CoreNLP language model)
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
Thank you all for your replies and feedback. There's a lot to learn/meditate from these messages and your own stories. I'm totally having a talk with my dad and I'm moving out of my comfort zone to find what's next with me. To those who sent me an e-mail, I'll get back to you soon.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
Gonna read that, thank you!
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
This is a feedback I'd filter as good, thanks. And sorry for the "blameness", the straw broke the camel's back today.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
Can't agree better with your concept for success. Thanks for your feedback.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
Totally checking that, thank you.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
Will totally check that book, thank you!
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
I made an edit and my SFTP didn't upload it completely due connections problems. Plus, I was in a rush when writing it. It's all good now.
mrcabada··on Ask HN: How do you keep motivated if nobody supports you?
I'm mexican, is not that easy to get a working Visa. Is a bit easier to get working Visas in big companies, that's the main reason why.
