Just FYI be careful some of the numbers are definitely mixed. This can't be right...

Registered Democrat 89 % 9 %

Registered Republican 90 % 7 %


How so? That of those that are registered Democrat / republican a little under one in ten (of those that voted) voted for the other candidate? You think it's too high?


IRC? Is there more to this?...


I'm surprised at this "Apple not AI" narrative. I've had Google Maps & Waze on my iPhone for years and neither of them seamlessly turned on "where did I park my car" feature. I just turned my iPhone on one morning and it just told me. Now, mind you, this may not be a fancy deep learning model. It could be some simple linear model, maybe a tree model, hell, maybe it's hardcoded rules? But despite these things Apple delivered a great feature which is in the realm of what I would consider "AI enabled feature".

Mind you, I don't have an Android device, so maybe Google Maps does this automatically for you on Andriod. It doesn't do it on the iPhone, at least not automatically (aka. I don't bother to look it up, which is kind of the point).


It uses a combination of Bluetooth (if you're near/connected to your car's stereo), motion sensor and GPS.

If you started moving at 70KM/h nowhere near a train or bus station, and then suddenly stopped moving at that speed and shortly after started moving at 5KM/h, you've clearly just got out of your car. Use bluetooth for extra verification if possible. When certain, get location (or load location) from GPS and mark spot. Tadaa, no fancy learning model needed.


Those sound like features that would be perfect for a learning model, otherwise you're stuck hardcoding the conditions and thresholds, no?

edit: anyway, besides the point.. I just love that feature haha


Yeah didn't mean to sound that abrasive.. damn booze.

It is a nice feature indeed


Acutally not neccessarily. You can as well end up in a traffic jam. In fact that's how they display traffic info on maps: many phone users doing what you just described.


It's not Google Maps, but rather Google Now that has the "where did I park my car" for quite awhile (2.5 years) now:

Google Now generally seems to be where all that automated stuff goes, so if you don't use it that would explain why you don't see any of it.


Google Now does this automaticly for a very long time. They don't have enough permissions on iOS, I suppose.

Cross referenced it, because Cortana can't do it in iOS for that reason


Well, not surprised of course! Anyway, perhaps I'm just a simple man, ... besides searching the web, I think that's the best AI type feature for the consumer yet!


This is quite insane. Is it too early to toss around the idea that the US government is slowly trying to take over the banking system?


From a political perspective, attacking the Wall St label is an effective "enemy of my enemy is my friend" strategy for gaining democratic power with the lower classes -- the people who comprise a democratic majority. Nevermind that the allegations won't stick, not necessarily because of government conspiracy, but because they aren't smart allegations that attack real problems.

Real problems are big and hairy. It's much easier to witch-hunt than it is to solve real problems. The real problem might be that the products Wells Fargo is cross-selling are outdated. It might be that cross-selling is an outdated strategy. These are much harder problems to solve than locking up or fining a CEO who made mistakes in leadership. That's much easier. Because every CEO makes errors in leadership.


The US banking sector should be regulated like utilities. Take over? No need for that with the proper laws in place to constrain their misbehavior.


there are no bad ideas. even this one.

Perhaps what isn't said is that Mu-nan understood he was no good to his family and decided it would be best for him to leave. I wouldn't conclude that the actions are self-absorbed... only that that is a perspective, but ultimately not the only one.


> It's learning the meaning of words, and the relationships between them.

It's learning a meaning, not the meaning. It's just a probabilistic model for the occurrence of a word based on the words that surround it. This should not serve as a base for the rest of your claims.

Anyway -- the improvements gained by multi-modal systems essentially disprove your thesis. Which is a good news! We're making progress.


Wow this 'method' broke my heart :)


Not to be picky, but if you're trying to do (6), forget about trying to do (1) & (2)


I actually make private Facebook wall posts to myself. It's great, easy to see and scroll through any time, and I can also add my friends individually (or a list of them) at a time when it's appropriate to share. The interface is great, I can comment on my own thoughts... I know this won't get any fans in this crowd but I think it's great.
