Device owners in the UK are logging heavy usage for tablets (80 per cent) and smartphones (78 per cent) while watching TV, according to a recent report by Nielson. British daily usage of smartphones or tablets while watching TV rivaled that of the U.S. with nearly a quarter (24 per cent) of those surveyed claiming to use their device several times a day while watching TV.

Show HN: Zero-shot object detection demo
https://segments.ai/zeroshot
Hello HN!

We've built an interactive demo of Google AI's OWL-ViT [1] zero-shot object detection model, using Hugging Face transformers.

Regular object detection models are trained on a fixed set of categories, for example cats, dogs and birds. If you want to detect a new type of object, like a horse, you have to collect and label images with horses and retrain your model.

A zero-shot object detection model is a so-called open-vocabulary model: it can detect a huge number of object categories without needing to retrain it. These categories are not predefined: you can provide any free-form text query like “yellow boat” and the model will attempt to detect objects that match that description.

Zero-shot object detection models like OWL-ViT are trained on massive datasets of image-text pairs, often scraped from the internet. The heavy lifting is done by a CLIP-based image classification network trained on 400 million image-text pairs, and adapted to work as an object detector. The largest model took 18 days to train on 592 V100 GPUs.

We used the Hugging Face implementation [2] of the OWL-ViT model and deployed it to a cloud GPU. Inference takes about 300ms, making interactive exploration possible: make sure to tweak the text queries and thresholds to find the ones that work best for your images!

10 good reasons to look for something better than Java
http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=55185
I think there is a convergence of opinion in the industry regarding deficiencies of Java. What the next step is going to be is not yet clear, however, the current fad of functional programming and functional languages is promising.

This article is yet another list of deficiencies, plus a discussion in the comments. I am sure there are deeper discussions and would welcome any links. Thanks!

Killing IE6? Think again.
http://imgur.com/1Ex5k.png 
I've been hearing all this non-sense about killing IE6 and how is making the web a terrible place.

I understand how time consuming IE6 and how every time I do a project I see my budget suffer because of IE6. I hear my developers complain about web standards and how evil Microsoft is.

But then, we look at the analytics. Analytics don't lie. They are the pulse of your business. And at the end is all about revenue. Hard cold cash. And when my site, has 19.000.000 IE6 visits, I couldn't care less about web standards. I just can't make them change their browsers. Most of them can't.

And I can't afford to not serve them.

ReactOS has started its own paid Summer of Code
https://www.reactos.org/node/785
The ReactOS Project is seeking qualified individuals to fill paid developer positions. Contracted full time, part time, and internship level positions are all available.

For contract positions, you'll need a bachelors in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field.

For internships, we require that you've completed the upper level undergraduate operating systems course offered by your university.

For any position, you will need to be proficient in C with C++ proficiency being a major plus. C++ proficiency does not equate C proficiency so do not assume you have the latter if you have the former.

Cleverer Than Siri - New Project Wants To Make Your Smartphone Really Smart
http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/13/kimera-systems-wants-your-smartphone-to-think-for-you/
"The founder of the company Kimera Systems wants your smartphone to think for you. He envisions a network of connected devices that use so-called smart software agents to track your friends, suggest food at a restaurant and even find someone to paint your house. That explanation is a bit simplistic, but it gets to the heart of what the Artificial General Intelligence network is theoretically capable of." "Apple's Siri, the current standard bearer for smartphone AI, has nominal contextual awareness; it understands whether you are speaking to it or trying to determine your location, for instance. Kimera Systems of Portland, Oregon, aims to give the device a broader understanding of what you are doing and why you are doing it. The idea is to adapt to the individual. Think of it as a step toward turning your smartphone into an extension of yourself."

The future of Java - a community perspective. 
http://talkweb.eu/openweb/1092
Most of you can say Java is only about the technology and maybe they are right, but this is not what I think. Java is about the community also – There is no technology that can survive without a community around it and the community plays a big role to make a technology kick-ass.

Show HN: Ex Platform for SWEs
https://smartteams.ca/
Hey guys, just sharing this project that I've been working on. Let me know what you think.

This idea came primarily from my own experience in the software industry. After a while, I was feeling discouraged by my job, mostly because I felt expendable (like a code monkey), burned out, and had unchallenging work. It felt like the employers I was working for didn’t have an idea of what was going on or how their employees were feeling. They would talk a lot about the technical challenges, but never did we talk about any mental/emotional challenges.

So I started thinking about what could be done to mitigate this problem and came up with this solution. An employee experience platform that tracks multiple psychological dimensions (specifically customized to track problems that can be faced in a software engineering environment) and gives the managers some insights into their teams/employees.

I'm still currently working on the MVP but would love to hear what you guys think about the idea and landing page. The MVP should be out in 2-3 weeks from now.

Ask HN: Why would you spend your own fortune to get a political office in USA??
"the disastrous campaign for governor of California waged by Meg Whitman, the former eBay CEO, spent more than $140 million of her own fortune...."

The above info makes me wonder why do people spend so much to become a mayor/governor? What is the monetary ROI even if you win? and where does it come from? Can't you utilize (donate) this money to some non-profit and get better and bigger social impact ... I can understand if you're spending this kind of money in 3rd world countries where ROI is 100 times over due to corruption and red-tape but what do you get here in USA by becoming a mayor/governor?

Show HN: MeteorJS's tracker.js ported to Android
Did this as a side project in writing a library for android. I haven't really used meteor's deps/tracker system heavily at all, but a friend was describing it to me and it seemed pretty cool. Luckily all of meteor is open sourced, and tracker.js is surprisingly simple.

Here's the lib: https://github.com/dinosaurwithakatana/AndroidTracker

It contains a sample application that shows a simple example of how to use it. I've also written a basic intellij code generator plugin (found: [here](https://github.com/dinosaurwithakatana/android-tracker-intellij-plugin)).

One thing I'd like to do, is make the plugin obsolete through annotations, but I'm not quite sure how to do it (See my stackoverflow post [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27640291/annotation-processing-generate-methods-based-on-an-annotated-field)).

This hasn't been tested outside of the sample application, so let me know what you think and what improvements could be made. Thanks!

Show HN: Releese – Music business management software
https://cloud.releese.io
After working in the music industry myself as an artist (Midsplit) and as a label manager / employee (ChillYourMind, Strange Fruits) I noticed that the music industry has very antiquated tools that are often expensive and rarely updated.

I had the idea to build a platform that could streamline the entire releasing process of music, we nailed it down to metadata management, royalty splits, landing pages generation, distribution to major stores and royalty collection (publishing + neighboring) rights.

After building this with a small team for 18 months, we finally managed to create our vision with a surprisingly functional product.

Our cloud infrastructure is based on Google Cloud and our app is 98% Typescript (Thank you Github)

I would love to know how someone in or outside the music industry feels about the platform.

Hopefully we will help shape a better music industry!
