We created a universal interface for computing, and it is web programming. It does not matter if you are creating a CRUD application of an improved Google search, you'll have to present it the same way. Thus, unless you are willing to give up control on the presentation of your work, you'd better learn it.

I think the fact that the AI is developed by Regaind (https://regaind.io/) must be taken into account. Their service is not intended for artsy pictures. It is rather targeted at people who have 1000 photos on their reflex from their last vacations and want to make a relevant and beautiful album of 50 photos to remember their trip, but don't want to spend two weeks comparing and selecting the right ones.

See for instance their demo here : https://regaind.io/demo/.

Seems like a low score. Again though, it's not really clear why. "Bad lighting" seems odd, because maybe I have no taste but the lighting is the reason for the shot in the first place. For reference, here's the original: https://www.flickr.com/photos/stefandufresne/16091643487/in/...

So far, AFAICT, it is a big fan of single focus thing in foreground with lots of blur in the background.

This is also right and wrong :-) Right regarding your perception, wrong regarding relative power. 1960s clients were small compared to today's small clients. However, 60s server were also small in relation to cloud servers. Today our small clients provide browsers and stuff like that but they aren't useful without servers. They can't run top-notch 3D games without high-end servers. The third wave of C/S will be in the area of A.I. with (small) clients which will possibly as powerful as today's cloud servers.

I have a DSLR and several fairly good lenses and like taking pictures, but I'm by all accounts a layman, and seeing as I'm unfamiliar with that photo, obviously not well versed in the industry.

But honest question: Is that a good picture? I don't assume that the AI is trained enough to give accurate critique on all photos, but in this case I might agree with it.

I'm not trolling nor mean any offense, but is there quantifiable skill behind that photo, or is it just as subjective as painted art? A simple example would be a Pollock painting which I don't care for at all.

Show HN: Insight AI – 7 week fellowship for scientists and engineers
Meatless Monday Endorsed by World Health Summit 2016
I worked at an academic neuroscience software company back when Lumosity first emerged on the scene. Lumosity was spurred on by I believe statistically significant results regarding the n-back test improving working memory. There was a lot of hope that other games/tests might be designed to improve other cognitive features. However the n-back test is the only one I have ever heard of having a significant effect on cognition, and even then it's temporary. There was a lot of disappointment in these results. Nevertheless, Lumosity et al continued to market minigames as health elixirs.
I guess my question is, what is [or will be] for sale? Is it a chip or would I need to contract with a fabricator or a fabricator and a design shop?

Founder of Insight here (YC W11). Since 2012 we've been running free fellowships to help PhDs transition to roles in data science [1] and more recently health data [2]. Similarly, since 2014, we have been helping professional software engineers learn and move into data engineering roles [3]. Over 750 Insight alums now work as data scientists & engineers at 200+ companies.

This past year, we've seen more highly specialized applied AI / deep learning roles emerge in the industry. We're also increasingly receiving applications from scientists and engineers who have some machine learning experience and are learning to build out sophisticated deep learning models during their time at Insight. The new Insight AI [4] program will focus on allowing Fellows with these backgrounds implement the latest ML techniques from research or contribute to open source projects under the guidance of industry leaders, then join AI teams in Silicon Valley and New York after the program. Insight AI will accept both software engineers and quantitative scientists (no PhD required).

As an uncool person myself, a tiny fraction of the reason why I generally avoid festivals and parties is so that I won't spoil everyone else's fun by being there.

You have to trust me on this. There are some genuinely, permanently uncool people in this world, and we ruin the "cool people" parties. We are not the kind of pretend-uncool that is actually a rebellious alternative kind of cool. We are actual, irredeemable squares.

The authenticity is there; it's just really, really boring. And not particularly attractive.

So please, don't tell me to just go to Burning Man if I want to go. Everyone would go home early, and no one would come back the next year. (Rationally, I know that couldn't possibly be true, but I still believe it.) Also, the "cool people" have been rather rude and horrible to me my whole life, so voluntarily walking into a concentration of them seems masochistic and ill-advised.

Coolness may be a mirage that may be chased forever without catching it, but uncoolness is real.

CORBA and DCOM were really not great but I don't think you're qualified to have a go at these things if you think that SGML is related to DCOM or that XML and JSON are "componentization tech".

I'd also note that despite how unfashionable it is and was, COM was a remarkably successful component framework. A lot of Windows apps use COM heavily and not because they were required to do so - they componentized themselves using COM because they wanted to and it delivered real value to them.

In addition, I'm not sure how you are defining "component", but the term is rather similar to library, and modern apps frequently pull in enormous quantities of libraries. It worked out OK, actually.

If you look at http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_62_0/doc/html/variant/design..., Boost variant has no performance penalty due to backup storage if any of its bounded type is nothrow default-constructible. In practice, you just need a single nothrow default-constructible type in boost::variant to satisfy that requirement. This can be `int` or `boost::blank`. And that's that - no performance penalty.

> Plenty of high-ranking Nazis had good careers

My point was that plenty (and the majority) of Nazis were killed during the war. You know, the ones who actually fought on the battleground. If we call the regim Nazi Germany and Hitler had more than 90% popularity, then you should assume that most of the fighters were Nazi as well. Which proves my point.
The question was whether to "dictate someone elses values on human rights" consists a worse violation than the human rights violation itself; it's pretty obvious the answer is "no." In fact the entire concept of human rights relies on there being some possibility of an objective standard of "human rights" that does not depend on an individual's choice or opinion, even if that individual's choice or opinion biases them to permit the violation of their own human rights.

You think prostitution is not a violation of human rights. I do. It's pretty much that simple. But clearly what specific individuals used to think about freedom from slavery, or the right of Jewish people to exist, or the right to basic dignity and access to food and livelihood, has no bearing on whether or not these things are human rights. They just are.

'Discrete math' is also useful.

In a civil case, this has no merit. What they should do is "sue" them using a W3C "court", and if there is no such thing (as I'm pretty sure there is none) it should be created. If members of W3C don't adhere by the standards set after a lengthy and tiresome process of review, they should be "liable" to the standards body.

This of course is not going to happen because members are the ones funding W3C, and they would just take their money elsewhere and the W3C would be sad.

Say in the YouTube app you perform a search for a song. The results come back very quickly and the first result is what you want so you tap it. An ad starts to play. Except its not an ad. Its a video from the advertised spot above your search results - wait a minute you didn't click that. So you go back and realize, it loads 1 second after your search results and pushes them downwards, so your tap ends up on the advertisement that wasn't even rendered yet. Hm.

Luck, mostly. However, libraries do tend to fall into 2 categories: small, and big. (yeah, I worked hard to come up with those)

* Small, sharp tools (sometimes) - things like Google Guava "collections" utilities, or the Ostermiller CSV file handling library, which have very small and stable scope.

* Big collections of things, such as Spring or Struts. Regardless of how you feel about these libraries, they do tend to come as a family of interrelated libraries (supplemental components) that get released in lock-step and play nice together.

I dislike the Java language, but I guess it is nice that most of the stuff on Maven Central does tend to be stable.
