You should check the GDC Vault!

No... it wouldn't be going the other way. You have to train with corpuses of data.
http://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developercl...

the 'learn more' part for each service should tell you more about what each service does.

hope this helps. it would take me a long time and a lot of copying and pasting to relay all the same stuff.

In terms of some of the cancer stuff, this can explain it way better than I can.

"But it can take weeks to identify drugs targeting cancer-causing mutations. Watson can do it in minutes and has in its database the findings of scientific papers and clinical trials on particular cancers and potential therapies."

http://www.businessinsider.com/r-ibms-watson-to-guide-cancer...

I honestly can't answer this, I've been here less than a year and am just a front end person. My team is v small.
What kind of details? Like exactly what it's doing?
Yeah. People are using it.

-- For starters, Watson has taken residence at three of the top cancers hospitals in the US -- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Mayo Clinic -- where it helps with cancer research and patient care.

-- In Australia, the company ANZ Global Wealth is focused on the latter. The company uses the Watson Engagement Advisor Tool, an NLP SaaS offering, to observe and field customer questions. Similarly, DBS bank in Singapore uses Watson to ensure the proper advice and experience for customers of its wealth management business.

just noticed this comment, but that's what the scheduler is for. same amount however many times you set it to.
Re:Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js on Tuesday December 01, 2015 @11:23AM (#10656540)
My cats are lap cats and I've been using automated feeders for over a year.

I guess some people just have crappy cats.

Re:Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js on Monday November 30, 2015 @09:22PM (#10653310)
It does. You have to set the schedule from the app. :/

they linked to a feeder! they're pretty cool, really heavy duty.

I definitely hope to incorporate a camera as one of the future releases. :D I want to be able to spy on my kitties while I'm away.
Re:Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js on Monday November 30, 2015 @05:18PM (#10652298)
I have a petnet too. :D It's great.

$30 bags of Nutro grain-free high in omega-fatty acids dry food, coupled with a constant flow water fountain feeder is completely healthy and good for indoor cats.

I'm not feeding them meow mix or friskies.

Re:Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js on Monday November 30, 2015 @05:11PM (#10652262)
Kittyo was so cool!

I actually own a petnet, but I wanted to see if I could build my own feeder in a simple enough way so people could adapt it and add modules on so it could be like kittyo or even like petnet, or whatever anyone wants.

Re:Automated Cat feeder powered by Node.js on Monday November 30, 2015 @05:10PM (#10652260)
As the person who made this project, I assure you this isn't true.

I have one cat who is a reasonable free-feeder, and another cat who is a food beast and will devour everything in his grasp.

good
Re:Why Your Cat Thinks You’re a Huge, Unpredictable Ape on Tuesday October 28, 2014 @10:14AM (#8521011)
Yeah so your cat can go to someone elses house, or get run over by a car, or get attacked by animals.

Great suggestion.

Re:Why Your Cat Thinks You’re a Huge, Unpredictable Ape on Tuesday October 28, 2014 @10:13AM (#8521009)
I won't hear it.

My cat loves me and thinks I am a giant cuddly friend.

And dispenser of food.

For somebody successful I doubt it matters much.

I participated in Ludum Dare this time and live streamed for a little bit, but the constant knowing that someone was watching me was really distracting so I eventually turned it off and was more constructive.

Re:Why a Six-Figure Salary No Longer Means You’re Rich on Thursday August 21, 2014 @12:31PM (#8208172)
You do realize a 100k salary in Manhattan would likely be more around 55 - 60k in Atlanta, right?
Re:Why a Six-Figure Salary No Longer Means You’re Rich on Thursday August 21, 2014 @10:13AM (#8207408)
Yeah, no. No it doesn't.

Don't forget to take into account the massive amount of student debt people have now, and also the vast cost of living in larger tech centric cities such as SF and NYC. I'm not talking fancy apartments either, I'm talking regular standard 1 br apartments.

Just because someones income is a certain amount on paper it doesn't take into account other financial responsibilities that lower the amount you have leftover at the end of the month.

Re:What was your best passive income in 2014? on Wednesday July 30, 2014 @09:58AM (#8108116)
I hope my landlord appreciations my paying early as well. I always pay a week and a half to two weeks early, just because I've schedule my bills out for it to be that way.

Probably not though since I live in Brooklyn. :(

Re:ArchiveTeam rescues Justin.tv videos on Tuesday June 10, 2014 @10:57AM (#7872859)
I'll be glad if they remove a bunch of the early stuff, to be honest. I was in the closed beta with iJustine and a few other people, and people were dicks to us whenever we got on camera.
Re:Last.fm is ending their streaming radio service in April on Wednesday March 26, 2014 @03:29PM (#7475848)
Just use Spotify, choose an artist you like and generate a radio station from them. Then it'll play you new related artists, and the original one you chose.
