The new distbelief paper doesn't explain some things. Why are "receptive fields". An earlier paper claimed better than 15% results on imagenet and so does this, what changed. Why have you claimed sgd works on nonconvex well without comparing against actual nonconvex opto algs. You also didn't cite my comments on metaoptimize where some of your ideas seem to come from.

Yeah, it's such a simple thing that nerds don't seem to get. Put out ads on craigslist, adwords, indiegogo. Whatever sells, do that. The biggest problem is having more ideas than time to write them into an ad, there's too many potential products. You can outsource the creation of whatever sells so executing isn't even that big a hurdle (though you do have to be careful with initial pricing on the ad so that costs don't get you).

Telecommuting high def video. Upstreaming dozens of security cam/robot videos from your house. Caching data. Google can cache much of youtube and web right on your internet router so that you pay the electricity bill instead of them. Telemedicine.

Success as in what earns their profits.

I mean in their data center. Also, I'd be more impressed if they actually got the self-driving cars out to the world. It's been 5 years now. Google has a problem executing, they're lulled by their one success.

Like I said earlier, a luxury tax. The capitalist utopia of singapore has them. Tax the rich and give it to NASA or create multi-billion dollar seed fund for immortality hacktivists.

As much as I like google, I doubt they're as good as that. Their search and advertising is essentially a monopoly because they have such a data lead over anyone else. That's why facebook freaks them out because they know how having more data is the secret sauce. Their data center innovations don't seem all that incredibly innovative. If they had robots whirring around I'd be much more impressed.
