ohhoeon Ask HN: Is anybody doing something productive with IBM Watson or is it just BS?

No... it wouldn't be going the other way. You have to train with corpuses of data.

the 'learn more' part for each service should tell you more about what each service does.

hope this helps. it would take me a long time and a lot of copying and pasting to relay all the same stuff.

Okay, here's two, then I gotta get off this thread and get back to work:

In terms of some of the cancer stuff, this can explain it way better than I can.

"But it can take weeks to identify drugs targeting cancer-causing mutations. Watson can do it in minutes and has in its database the findings of scientific papers and clinical trials on particular cancers and potential therapies."

I honestly can't answer this, I've been here less than a year and am just a front end person. My team is v small.

ohhoeon Ask HN: Is anybody doing something productive with IBM Watson or is it just BS?

What kind of details? Like exactly what it's doing?

ohhoeon Ask HN: Is anybody doing something productive with IBM Watson or is it just BS?

sure am

ohhoeon Ask HN: Is anybody doing something productive with IBM Watson or is it just BS?

Yeah. People are using it.

-- For starters, Watson has taken residence at three of the top cancers hospitals in the US -- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Mayo Clinic -- where it helps with cancer research and patient care.

-- In Australia, the company ANZ Global Wealth is focused on the latter. The company uses the Watson Engagement Advisor Tool, an NLP SaaS offering, to observe and field customer questions. Similarly, DBS bank in Singapore uses Watson to ensure the proper advice and experience for customers of its wealth management business.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

My cats are lap cats and I've been using automated feeders for over a year.

I guess some people just have crappy cats.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

It does. You have to set the schedule from the app. :/

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

they linked to a feeder! they're pretty cool, really heavy duty.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

I definitely hope to incorporate a camera as one of the future releases. :D I want to be able to spy on my kitties while I'm away.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

I have a petnet too. :D It's great.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

$30 bags of Nutro grain-free high in omega-fatty acids dry food, coupled with a constant flow water fountain feeder is completely healthy and good for indoor cats.

I'm not feeding them meow mix or friskies.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

Kittyo was so cool!

I actually own a petnet, but I wanted to see if I could build my own feeder in a simple enough way so people could adapt it and add modules on so it could be like kittyo or even like petnet, or whatever anyone wants.

ohhoeon Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js

As the person who made this project, I assure you this isn't true.

I have one cat who is a reasonable free-feeder, and another cat who is a food beast and will devour everything in his grasp.

good

ohhoeon Why Your Cat Thinks You’re a Huge, Unpredictable Ape

Yeah so your cat can go to someone elses house, or get run over by a car, or get attacked by animals.

Great suggestion.

ohhoeon Why Your Cat Thinks You’re a Huge, Unpredictable Ape

I won't hear it.

My cat loves me and thinks I am a giant cuddly friend.

And dispenser of food.

ohhoeon Notch programming a Doom-like in Dart

For somebody successful I doubt it matters much.

I participated in Ludum Dare this time and live streamed for a little bit, but the constant knowing that someone was watching me was really distracting so I eventually turned it off and was more constructive.

ohhoeon Why a Six-Figure Salary No Longer Means You’re Rich

You do realize a 100k salary in Manhattan would likely be more around 55 - 60k in Atlanta, right?

ohhoeon Why a Six-Figure Salary No Longer Means You’re Rich

Yeah, no. No it doesn't.

Don't forget to take into account the massive amount of student debt people have now, and also the vast cost of living in larger tech centric cities such as SF and NYC. I'm not talking fancy apartments either, I'm talking regular standard 1 br apartments.

Just because someones income is a certain amount on paper it doesn't take into account other financial responsibilities that lower the amount you have leftover at the end of the month.

ohhoeon Announcing UberPool

I'm assuming that google is having its employees participate in the beta so they can share rides to the HQ

ohhoeon What was your best passive income in 2014?

I hope my landlord appreciations my paying early as well. I always pay a week and a half to two weeks early, just because I've schedule my bills out for it to be that way.

Probably not though since I live in Brooklyn. :(

ohhoeon Backlash has begun against gluten-free dieters

Amy's makes rice crust pizza that's super good!

ohhoeon ArchiveTeam rescues Justin.tv videos

I'll be glad if they remove a bunch of the early stuff, to be honest. I was in the closed beta with iJustine and a few other people, and people were dicks to us whenever we got on camera.

ohhoeon Last.fm is ending their streaming radio service in April

Just use Spotify, choose an artist you like and generate a radio station from them. Then it'll play you new related artists, and the original one you chose.
