It very much depends on where the local speedtest.net server is in relation to you in terms of network topology. If you're in a large city like SF or Seattle, your ISP might host a 1U box from ookla or directly peer with them at a major IX point less than 15 milliseconds away from you.

I think what's compelling is that there is some sort of critical mass on the API side. We've tipped in the last year or two over to many (if not most) Internet things being accessible by API.

It doesn't seem surprising to me that companies are re-looking at matching up typing and text with these APIs, and coming up with some interesting use cases, especially with better NLP here in the last year.

At my university (KIT in Germany [1]), they developed such a system and apply it for live-translation of lectures for international students.

Here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjXpKz0BiIU

And a publication from 2008: http://isl.anthropomatik.kit.edu/cmu-kit/861_lt2007%281%29.p...

At one point, they had an app that did live-translation. But Facebook bought the tech and took it off the market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jibbigo

Today, they are riding the deep-learning wave to get ever better/faster recognition and translation. So huge improvements are to be expected.

Having used a gear VR (briefly), I would not want to try to read text from a slide displayed in it. It would be better to have the video feed of the presenter and a video (or text!) feed of the slides and be able to show both and maybe switch between them -- i could imagine showing one in a big rectangle and the other in a small rectangle.

I was referring to measures of _complexity_, variously and ill-defined, which may or may not have anything to do with KC. FI and VC-dim are, indeed, not examples of things closely related to KC, but they are useful measures of complexity nonetheless: I was answering the question as to more useful complexity measures, not as if they had to be strictly related to KC. If you had the idea that I was representing that Vapnik was poking about with KC when he was thinking about VC-dimension, I regret the misunderstanding.

But of course, they can be related to KC, because anything you say about anything computable can be related to KC: it is exactly saying, "is this complexity measure related to Turing machines?" - the answer had better be yes, unless you like writing fiction about complexity. But that "yes" is nearly always a vacuous "yes", a Turing tarpit.

Like in other places, if there was really a good definition of complexity, people would have standardized. Of the ones listed in Lloyd's note, the ones that you would expect a normal programmer to know are Shannon information and computational complexity, which are outrageously useful: Fisher information is sometimes used in neuroscience and VC dimension is used in ML, of course both as vague measures of complexity which are nice because they are computable.

There is, of course, a lot of charlatanry in the general measurement of complexity, and this is a thing not under dispute.
> is especially tricky to get right without draining a user's battery by doing things like constantly polling the backend

One simple solution is giving each state a defined name, and keeping a socket open from mobile. If the connection is restarted, each side can name their current state, and the delta can also be easily synced.

Later on, changes can be directly transmitted via the socket.

(I am working on something like that currently myself).

Or both departments within Goldman both reached the same conclusion independently: the stock is currently very undervalued.

If Tesla sells (heh, and builds) every one of their pre-ordered model 3's, that's over $14b in revenue.

The only question is, are they going to be able to do it. If both departments at Goldman think the answer is "YES", then what they have done is absolutely reasonable.

I remember having a similar feeling of wonder watching the amazing movie "Her."

I then went down a thought path of what level of personal data the AI would have had in the movie, and started thinking about what that would look like from a monetization/privacy standpoint given todays realities of advertising, NSA surveillance, etc. Pretty scary.

In fact, I'd love for someone to do a cut of clips from that movie with overlays detailing all the bits of personal data that would have been fed to a company's servers based on what is happening in the scene--there are some particularly juicy scenes for that if I recall correctly.

Ok that is something I actually need to do. I have a project now to bring up a smtp and imap server and I can put it on the colo box or do it on AWS. [1] Is there a specific
step by step guide to doing this with AWS. Quite frankly with all of the things you do there I wouldn't even know where to start. Otoh if I go to, say, Rackspace I can easily and quickly spin up a server (with RAID) and not have to give any thought to doing so because it's a centos server running on a vps. With AWS I don't know the difference (and would have to learn) as far as the different instances availability zones all of that (and quite frankly I have little time to do that so I would typically go with what I already know). Make sense?

[1] So what I am saying is I can do this on a colo box but don't even know where to begin to do it on AWS. I don't mean I need handholding to install and get the server working, just to get it working given the various offerings on AWS.

As far as I know, only dual licensing under a copyleft license (usually GPL or AGPL) and a paid proprietary license. It allows people to pay to avoid the copyleft.

That said, it works best for some kinds of software, since unlike commonly believed, the GPL doesn't require one to contribute back, only forward, so in some cases people might be allowed to modify it without sharing those changes.

By the way, if you follow the dual licensing route, you need to be careful about accepting contributions, as unless you make them sign a document saying so, you won't have the right to issue those paid licenses for that code.
No but if you look at the code it's clearly designed to support pluggable hardware.

It's irrelevant. The ECI leaks had one statement that said that the FBI "compels" US companies to assist in "SIGINT-enabling" (backdoors or taps). We should assume they can secretly order such things given it was in the most secretive leaks.

For foreign companies, they sent the black bag operators of CIA or ISA to get job done. ISA is an interesting outfit to have coming after you or your data.

So, she could legally be compelled to do something disuptive to catch criminals like Feds do all the time in physical spaces (esp hotels). Thing is, leaving to avoid that might put her at risk of what's used outside jurisdiction. Fleeing was a bad move.

Prepared to get on a plane is, in my view, to be dressed appropriately for a public venue, carrying an appropriate size and quantity of hand-carried baggage, with a paid ticket, complete travel itinerary, and valid airline boarding pass.

It is not the traveler's concern whether the TSA finds it more burdensome to screen someone wearing polished, straight-laced oxfords than someone wearing slipshod flip-flops. The traveler is not wasting anybody's time. The TSA that cannot process an unprepared, ignorant, yet cooperative traveler as quickly or as easily as a million-mile air travel expert is actually the party wasting everybody's time.

Imagine for a moment that someone sets out to intentionally slow down the screening queue. Whose fault is it if he is easily able to do so? The people that established the operating procedures for the screening are responsible. On a highway, the slow car is passed, using a different lane. On a computer, the processor hog may be interrupted so that other processes and threads may still execute. Unfortunately, as you suspect, the TSA has a motive for keeping the lines slow. Slow lines may lead to bigger budgets, as they complain about being "resource constrained".

Perhaps you are making it more convenient for yourself by transferring your irritation to those who are not able to retaliate against your visible annoyance, by abusing their authority to perform additional unnecessary screenings the instant you reach the head of the queue? Stop blaming the victims!
