Where can I follow your project? I currently use QOwnNotes on Linux which does exactly that, but would be keen to try some alternatives, in particular if you're working on a mobile version.

> (...) the current hype about AI replacing jobs has much more to do with media clickbait than any real issue we should be worrying about right now.

Hype? For sure. But the current advances in autonomous vehicles will have a very real impact on the working life of the common truck driver (3.5 million in US alone), I think we all agree on that.

Care to share some details on your technology? On whose handwriting was this trained, did you use any public datasets for this? And of course, how well will this perform on writing styles it hasn't seen before?

Sidenote: A common practice is to take a pre-trained model (e.g. on the Imagenet dataset) and only learn the last few layers for your usecase. This way you can get a well trained feature extractor if your task data is similar, and then only train the classification, which is a lot faster than full end-to-end training.

You can call it an artificial neural network (ANN) as soon as you have two or more artifical neurons connected to each other. As simple as that.

A small amount of neurons might already solve some problem you're having. The XOR problem can be learned by 4 neurons connected to each other.

When you want raw images or similar as an input and have it be classified into 100 classes (e.g. look up CIFAR-10 or CIFAR-100), you will need an architecture with many more neurons.

After all, ANN are simply a tool. Depending on the task, that tool might need to more elaborate. And when you have all those different possible architectures, you want a common way of naming them. Labels such as Deep Learning are simply nomenclature of talking about certain groups of artificial neural networks.

Have been running the trial for a few hours and am really satisfied so far. I see the same issues with Spectactle, though. Hope this can be addressed in a future version, as I'd love to have both apps running permanently.

Still building up a user base so we can have better results, but here is the top list of our platform: https://podcastprofile.com/top (the project is in its early stages, basically the result of a hackathon we had a few weeks back)

It should be "a computer beating the human" in my opinion. It's just like parents bathing in the success of their offspring. Yes, they can be proud, but no, they didn't achieve the "win" themselves.

MacPass is excellent. It finally helped me completely move to a password manager based life.

The submission title is misleading.
