return0··on Uber S-1
similar apps have popped up in many places where uber is not allowed or limited. it doesn't look that hard.
return0··on Ford CEO says the company 'overestimated' self-driving cars
I think we all underestimate it. Driving a car in a road without assistance is solving the robot navigation problem forever. Its the answer to life, the universe and everything. There is still great progress and it will probably work in some limited sense.
return0··on Ask HN: Will machines ever feel emotion?
there is no reason to think that we won't be able to add an emotional layer in their neural networks. it already works in the brain
return0··on Ask HN: Do you enjoy voice interactions with your devices?
i set reminders with it. doing that through siri is actually faster than the manual way. all other tasks are easier/faster to do with a UI, that's why they feel weird .
return0··on Ask HN: What timeline should I expect for a whole genome sequencing service?
i got my results last week as a vcf file (using the same black friday deal). they now also have separate indel, snp files etc. it takes a lot of time apparently.
return0··on Unveiling the first-ever image of a black hole [video]
To be clear, they detected the black hole because it looked like the way we expect a supermassive black hole to be? Or were there other hints that led to it being discovered where it was?
return0··on Unveiling the first-ever image of a black hole [video]
apparently from the top. i hope we get to find another one sideways because they look cool ;)

yes but happiness perception is subjective and depends on what information they get
return0··on World Happiness Report, 2019
to be clear, is that first-hand experience from venezuela or some other survey?

Or Vices as the Victorians would call them.
return0··on IBM Watson Overpromised and Underdelivered on AI Health Care
> still often produces nonsense more similar to dream imagery than useful reasoning,

Is there any example of gpt-2 in the wild that is not nonsense?

return0··on IBM Watson Overpromised and Underdelivered on AI Health Care
Yep they are e.g. overhyping their neurmorphic platform too

I hope that's not the case for their quantum computer

do any major websites use this ping= attribute?
return0··on FamilyTreeDNA: It’s Our ‘Moral Responsibility’ to Give FBI Access to Your DNA
thanks. it seems that already (considering only GEDMatch's 850000 samples):

> Its also striking that were already in an era in which familial searches against publicly accessible SNP databases are feasible for a lot of cases, probably the majority of cases where the suspect has substantial recent ancestry in the US

return0··on FamilyTreeDNA: It’s Our ‘Moral Responsibility’ to Give FBI Access to Your DNA
I wonder what is the minimum % of people that need to have their DNA sequenced in order for any human to be able to be identified. The police cases mentioned in the past hint that we are already.
return0··on Ask HN: Which Bookmarking software do you use?
you might want to check out https://pinplz.com/ , which has a blog-like view. Select some text, click on the bookmarklet and your bookmark is auto-added along with the snippet. It also saves the referrer (if available) which comes handy when trying to figure out where you found that page.
return0··on I’m a Tech Addict and I’m Not Ashamed
i believe the more commonly used term is technocracy
return0··on Ask HN: Do you like/use Reddit's redesign?
well, congratulations on your courage, but i actually find it less readable, because titles do not stand out from everything else on the page
return0··on Ask HN: Do you like/use Reddit's redesign?
i do think that we re not far from the average redditor.
return0··on Ask HN: Which Bookmarking software do you use?
https://pinplz.com

return0··on Ask HN: Is GDPR hurting European tech valuations and acquisitions?
gdpr is even more strict for EU based companies: you have to apply gdpr to every user around the world.

> which increases their valuation.

how?

return0··on Jeff Bezos to keep 75 percent of couple’s Amazon stock after finalizing divorce
> seems remarkably amicable

smart for both parties' stock

return0··on Linus Torvalds Says Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram Are 'A Disease'
i mean yeah, they are literally viral
return0··on Finland’s Basic Income Experiment Shows Recipients Are Happier and More Secure
The fact that the proponents of UBI pretend to be content with "free money made people happier" is probably a sign that the experiment did not go as expected. Regardless, i think the bigger question here is how would UBI prevented the negative effects of the allegedly impeding large-scale unemployment. How did recipients use their time apart from seeking work. How were their relationships to the rest of society and vice versa? Does UBI result in 2 classes of people instead of a spectrum? What were their spending habits and are they conductive to a functioning economy?
return0··on Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning
I also like CMU's neural net for nlp class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmcXgNTuHnk
