Personally I would like to see kids learn way way more in much less time, and it’s clear AI is going to make that possible. What you are saying sounds a lot like “I want kids to learn less and be dumber”

Human teacher hallucination rate is like at least 1 in 100

I deeply wish I had AI-accelerated education growing up rather than sitting bored out of my mind while a teacher lectures at the bottom quartile

This is so cool!

Ignore the haters, AI accelerated education is so obviously a gigantic win for everyone. (And massively levels the playing field.)

Speaking of holes in the stripe API there’s an annoying one where you can’t easily directly look up what user redeemed a specific promo code

I've been wondering about this specifically for QQQ vs S&P 500! Awesome, thanks.

Integru has been really great for us. Curious how you think about differentiation?

If you like this site, check out (a) 3Blue1Brown's youtube channel for intuitive visualizations of (otherwise) hard math topics, and (b) the book Infinite Powers, for more calculus intuition + history.

Both are outstanding.

  "Tell me if you see someone waving hello while I’m out."
  "Did you see anyone new over the weekend?"

It’s made possible by the combination of cutting edge computer vision, natural language understanding, and 3D sensing like you’d find in an iPhone X or a self-driving car. Check us out at our site [0] or in the news [1].

We're hiring across the board:

  Senior Web Developer
  Deep Learning Engineer

New comment by teichman in "The Startup That Built Google’s First Self-Driving Car"

teichman — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 04:12:34 +0000

Generally, I agree with your sentiment regard proper accreditation in the media, but claiming that Thrun doesn't deserve a huge chunk of credit for self-driving cars at Google is thoroughly unsupported by the evidence (check out the history of the DARPA challenges). This article seems to be grasping at a sinister story of a coverup that simply doesn't exist.

From the article: "From then on, we started doing a lot of work with Google," says Majusiak. "We did almost all of their hardware integration. They were just doing software."

Just software? Holy cow. The machine learning, control systems, mapping software, and all the other algorithms in a self-driving car are the really fundamental pieces. It's super important to get the hardware right, and 510 did a great job of that, but the software is the brain.

New comment by teichman in "There’s scant evidence that healthy foods prevent cancer or fatty foods cause it"

teichman — Sun, 27 Apr 2014 21:03:07 +0000

This newspaper article states "In 2007, a major follow-up [to the 1997 AICR report] all but reversed the findings." They don't cite the study or provide a link, but it's almost certainly the 2007 AICR report.

Fortunately you can take a look for yourself [0]. The published research findings are pretty much the opposite of the Star Tribune's claims that eating healthy has no effect on cancer.

These are the AICR recommendations:

    Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight.
    Be physically active for at least 30 minutes every day.
    Avoid sugary drinks. Limit consumption of energy-dense foods.
    Eat more of a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and legumes such as beans.
    Limit consumption of red meats (such as beef, pork and lamb) and avoid processed meats.
    If consumed at all, limit alcoholic drinks to 2 for men and 1 for women a day.
    Limit consumption of salty foods and foods processed with salt (sodium).
    Don't use supplements to protect against cancer.
