stratospark | 9 years ago | on: Show HN: Bitesnap – Deep Learning Meets Food Logging
Very cool! I shared a small project to demo and explain how I used convolutional neural networks to classify food images: http://blog.stratospark.com/deep-learning-applied-food-class....
I'd be curious about the calorie detection. I'm wondering if it's using some kind of weighted sum of image segmentation proportions, or doing end-to-end deep learning.
Anyway, cool product, love to see where it goes!

code for training in a Python Jupyter Notebook, plus the web UI in React and Keras.js is available here: https://github.com/stratospark/food-101-keras

I've taken a look at the product site and I love it! I think it's perfect. Our son is obsessed with Minecraft and has recently been expressing interest about learning how to program. One question about the pricing, is would I be able to go through the lessons as well as my son? Or would we need to pay for separate accounts? The FAQ mentions something about up to 4 players per server.

Check out Field: http://openendedgroup.com/field
What sort of project are you working on?

Exploratory trying is a form of discoverability. Plus the whole social context of learning new gestures through friends using similar devices.
I looked at a Blackberry Playbook at the store and tried to use it without having ever seen anyone else use one before. I spent a good 10 minutes trying to figure out how to close an app before finally looking it up online with my iPhone.

We need a Todo example project to make this legit: https://github.com/addyosmani/todomvc/tree/master/todo-examp...
stratospark | 14 years ago | on: Closure Mode for CoffeeScript
Interesting. With this and ClojureScript, I might need to take a deeper look at Closure.
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Hacker Artists?
Detrus mentioned Processing and openFrameworks. Basically programming languages for visual artists.
Also Maker Faire for artsy DIY and hardware stuff: http://makerfaire.com/
Zer01, a Bay Area art/technology network: http://zero1.org/
I volunteer for those last two, send me a message if you're in the Bay Area and want to chat! I'm definitely a techie software engineer, but I'm fascinated by art, good design, and grand ideas about anything =)

I was hoping this would be about a controversial museum exhibit featuring archaic programming languages.
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Best practices for JS and CSS organization
I'm starting to like javascriptmvc, they've come up with some good practices for organizing code, combining/compressing it, and testing it.
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Marcus du Sautoy's "Brief History of Mathematics" (10 MP3 episodes)
Listened to this a while ago and thought it was pretty interesting. The Bourbaki story was particularly cool.
Any recommendations for similar podcasts? I know of Radiolab, what else?
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: U2's Natural Logarhythm: Exponential Decay in the Delay of The Edge's Guitar
Fascinating, can you recommend any good resources that you stumbled across in your explorations of music theory and math?
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: How many hours of sleep do you need to have a productive day?
Why waste it? It's a perfectly valid state of consciousness. Look into dreaming techniques such as lucid dreaming. You might find creative solutions to problems or new ideas to integrate into your waking life.
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: Thoughts/feelings about Alex Grey's art?
I bet you'd enjoy some of the podcasts here: http://www.matrixmasters.net/salon/. There are a few Alex Grey ones, but I'd bet HN folks would also appreciate the ones by Bruce Damer and Terence McKenna.
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Emokit: Hacking the Emotiv EPOC Brain-Computer Interface
This is great! I've been interested in EEG, neurohacking for a while, at least in concept. Now that it's available for entry level hackers, what's the best way to get started? Does anyone know of good resources for EEG related signal processing, or algorithms applicable to brain waves, etc.? Thanks!
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Ask HN: If I gave you $20.00 US, What would you buy?
I would get a Manning ebook: http://manning.com/. Probably PostGIS in Action.

A /. commenter wrote some real funny satire about this: http://idle.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1720732&cid=329...
"If you find literature on Fourier Analysis, Electronics or Calculus in your child's bedroom, please get your child to Oklahoma and get them help from the nearest minister."
stratospark | 15 years ago | on: Gevent 0.13.0 released - coroutine network library for Python
Gevent seems to be the fastest Python async server after Tornado: http://nichol.as/asynchronous-servers-in-python
I'd be interested in seeing node.js benchmarked against these.

I see these AI models as lowering the barrier to entry, while giving more power to the users that choose to explore that direction.
