Wavelets

I agree 100%. So naive. Just think of a world where we (US, EU, etc.) stop investing in this technology while Russia, China, etc. continue.

It really burns me to hear AI professors rail against “autonomous weapons” yet go work at Facebook, Google, etc. Information, especially manipulation of it, is a weapon too.

How could anyone consider investing in China given stories like this?

> Indie at its core. While it’s my personal opinion, many developers appreciate tools that are not backed by tech giants (for example React backed by Facebook, and Angular by Google), but rather grows from a community and that is why it is highly oriented to developer needs.

This is a great point - and quite true in my experience as well. I would not build a business using an open source project backed by a tech giant.

Not to mention doing other accelerated pre-processing & processing in addition to inference at the edge. There's certainly a use case for the Nano over Arduino, RPi, etc.

Man, another (potential) foundational AI/ML/Robotics library from Facebook. At some point every major open source library in this field is going to be run out of a FAANG company. I wonder what the impact of this will be in the long run.

Yes, by the time the article the OP posted dropped (November 2019) he did know. The article you posted is from March 2019.

It wasn’t published that long ago. The article came out right before Bloomberg announced his candidacy...

What is your cause for concern?

Honest question here: Do you have any concerns regarding privacy?

I started learning web development last year and have been completely overwhelmed by all of the tools, frameworks, etc. that are out there. I found the back-end to be a lot easier to pick up than the front-end.

Granted, I’ve been using Python for a long time and chose it (Django) for my back-end. It helped to not have to learn both the language, the framework, and concepts at the same time.

I was so frustrated with Vue that I ended up going with Elm. I did not have a background in functional programming, but I found it so much simpler than trying to learn Vue or React.

Man, Twitter seems to be eating a lot of crow lately in this domain. They came out swinging against regulation/"censorship" of their users... but this is getting out of hand. Twitter, Facebook, etc. need to start taking some responsibility here or someone is going to do it for them (i.e. the government).

What a silly article. How someone could look at Apple's chip developments (A, T, S, W, etc. series of processors) and think they aren't innovative is mind-boggling. Apple developing key silicon in their devices is a major security benefit for their users and I consider that an innovative model.

The Apple ecosystem itself is innovative and I don't think there's a single company that does it better.

They still lead in interfaces (biometrics...FaceID) and multi-touch gestures.

I don't use Siri, but I'm glad they are developing that technology in a way that doesn't flat-out violate the privacy of their users. I just hope all the criticism comparing Siri versus Google Assistant and Cortana don't push them to change that posture.

It feels like Apple hate is becoming a meme. You can certainly criticize the company... their product line is becoming confusing, but to say they "used" to be an innovator is ignorant.
