    Code of conduct.. blah blah.

    Lets do a 1GT carpet and get it over with. Wishful thinking is leading us to disaster. NK has had its time.

  7. I totally agree. Too much talking.
    We need to disperse NK into the stratosphere.
    Beginning today!
    Everything else is BS.
    NK can have a 10 minute warning for an unconditional surrender.

    I think you could do some statistics to identify sexist VCs and then come after them. Or you could just create a lower girl tax. Uhm no that would be moral. Let the lawyers figure out how to milk those poor girls :-/

  10. Sorry for trolling on Having a Woman On Your Team Ruins Your Chances For VC Funding (theoutline.com) · · Score: 0

  13. Really that simple? on A New Sampling Algorithm Could Eliminate Sensor Saturation (scitechdaily.com) · · Score: 0

    "The idea is very simple. If you have a number that is too big to store in your computer memory, you can take the modulo of the number."

    So if there is no available memory to describe the entire information space, just throw away 99.99999% of the data


    Great idea!

    Sounds a bit like the stick of Jan Sloot: http://www.spronck.net/sloot.h...

    I remember when it was all 286, 386 and 486 for at least a decade. Now you have to be a fulltime savant with a PhD in hardware to understand whats going on.

  23. But why don't they eat their own ...food on Startup Uses AI To Create Programs From Simple Screenshots (siliconangle.com) · · Score: 0

    The web page is based on old school HTML Java Script + some JQuery.
    Judging by the video, it looks like they have created a machine learning tool that can recognize text and buttons.
    And from that recreate the exact same, in this case bootstrap UI.
    So you can create a mockup in lets say Axure or Indigo, then save it as a PNG file in order to interpret and recreate it.
    Doesn't seem any special by todays technologies.
    This is a UI generator that might get handy when it understands photos taken from a white board full of crazy doodles
    But to create a program you also need to care about the business logic.
    Try to dig out all kinds of domain specific junk from someones passive aggressive head just by looking at a picture.
    That can be difficult.
    Such details will be out of reach from most AI in the near future (+10 to 20 years).

    The devil is in the details as they say.
    So are we all going to end up as small back end devils then? when the all mighty AI have taken over the UI
