rather: Wasting time and attention on useless statistics and pointless visualizations.

It quickly becomes apparent that the author has no experience with NLP.

Still, I have mixed feelings regarding your comment. Firstly, the author shows a true hacker spirit by trying to use the computer to solve problems, on the other hand, the author shows great courage to publish his/her thoughts on the Internet.

I do not want to live in a world where people are afraid of publishing their research (as insignificant as it might be) because of other people calling it "a waste of time" or "useless and pointless".

Says the one with a nickname from mythology/fantasy (Darkover-Cycle)... ;-)

I'm not sure what you mean. I was criticizing the viz, not the literature.

Incidentally, I never read anything by Lovecraft, but am a big fan of Tolkien. I came up with this nickname on the spot.

Err---that would be Marion Zimmer Bradley (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marion_Zimmer_Bradley), not Lovecraft. It's possible she got it from "The King in Yellow" usually referred to as 'The Yellow Book', but not know for sure. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_in_Yellow

hahaha, seems like entreporn fanboys don't like when someone puts down meaningless statistics

and yet, someone has to call the ceasar naked

keep voting down, for me it's karma points well spent

what a stupid title

Maybe it's interesting technically, but what's the use of this site, if the movies are rated by retards? I mean, any ranking that puts Avengers in the first 1000 best movies is obviously deeply flawed.

Oh come on. It's a fine piece of entertainment, but it's hardly the second-best film of all time. Using the raw data like that is an immediate statistical fail, you should be using a high-pass filter of some sort.

The Avengers has a 92% on RT. The Godfather, Part 2 has a 98%. The Avengers leads The Godfather 2 on this list.

most important will be Google Glass

this one is merely on the Kinect level

The geektastic glasses? I wear contacts so I don't have to wear glasses.

I haven't seen a Leap Motion in person, but if the demos are accurate then it is to Kinect what multi-touch capacitive touchscreens were to single-touch resistive touchscreens. That is potentially a pretty huge deal.

That's rather naive. You conveniently forget the fact that before you shoot down an F-35, first you have to spot it.

Not to mention that building a drone with capabilities similar to a manned fighter is a very hard problem and you can be quite sure that US's rivals (China, Russia) are decades away from fielding one.

Can't wait for this to bubble up to Polish mainstream media. (And it will, it's the perfect link bait / eyeball magnet.)

Hasn't Apple heard what Poland did to ACTA? We love it when some big American entity comes pushing around and stepping on the little guy. We've got our pitchforks and torches always ready. Come, Apple, come.

If the big Goo asks the forum admin to take down the thread, let me know, I've made a copy.

What is the EPA doing about it right now? You'd be surprised to learn that many U.S. environmental laws were passed by Republican presidents. There's a "Nixon-goes-to-China" aspect to it. Indeed, Nixon created the EPA...

The "Occupy Mars" t-shirt is awesome! :D

I agree. Anyone know if there's anywhere I can order one? A quick google search turns up a much lamer version[1].

Will someone please find out where we can get that Occupy Mars T-Shirt?!!!
