Here is an article in Norwegian that goes a bit deeper into the grotesque history behind the tradition of saturday sweets:

You mean the grotesque experiments that lead to the scientific knowledge that in turn lead to lördagsgodis. The distinction is pretty important.

Here's an article in english about the experiments: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vipeholm_experiments

It's cool to see the website[1] of the startup/dotCom I worked at in the early 2000s captured there! The website won the navigation award at Macromedia's fashforward event, and I still think holds up quite well even over 20 years later. The zoom navigation was quite interesting and worked well on mobile devices like the HP iPAQ PDAs we tested it on.

Looks interesting, but I couldn't get the code samples to work. Would be good to have all languages available in the demo on the website.

Thanks, Web64.

What was the issue? Any error messages or you just didn't get the output you wanted?

I imagine you're interested in Norwegian?

EDIT: I forgot to mention that you don't need to code to test-drive. You can simply dump your JSON in the console (the "Try it" button: https://dev.tisane.ai/docs/services/5a3b6668a3511b11cc292655...).

Yes, I would like to test for Scandinavian languages as there are not many multilingual NLP apis available. Not even Google/Microsoft/AWS has multilingual support.

The error I'm getting is:

using these parameters:

  $parameters = array(
     'content'  => "Babylonians should not be allowed at managerial positions.",
     'language' => 'en'
  );

Thank you!

I will need the entire client code though. Let's switch to email - the one you logged on with is OK, right?

EDIT: sent.

Polyglot [0] is a python multilingual NLP toolkit. The quality is not great, but it supports a lot of languages.

I would also recommend Steve's Refactoring UI videos on YouTube:

I'm looking forward to testing this out!

I noticed the "NLP classification page" links are broken. I assume they should go to: http://nlp.fast.ai/category/classification.html

Oops - forgot the leading '/'. Fixed now. Many thanks for letting us know.

Also, clicking on "Universal Language Model Fine-tuning for Text Classification" sends me to https://arxiv.org/ not to the paper.

D'oh! Many thanks - fixed that one too.

Looks great! Check out this award-winning zooming interface from 2001 (requires flash): http://www.andyfoulds.co.uk/sites/relevare/

Maybe it can be of some inspiration!

I’ll see it! Thank you

I have a Canon DSLR and my biggest frustration is with the software. I do a lot of night photography and the longest exposure possible is 30 seconds. To go beyond this you need to buy an external shutter release. It should be a simple thing to add a few more options with longer exposures to the menu.

Also, doing things like HDR or stop-motion can be a pain. Better software or the ability to run apps could solve this.

If you are a tinkerer, you could (most likely, depending on model) use a custom firmware such as Magic Lantern. Gives you basically anything you could imagine, but that Canon couldn't imagine. http://www.magiclantern.fm/

Magic lantern truly is, well, magic. When my 30D died, I bought an 50D with some ambivalence; I wanted a "real body" and can't justify the price tag any of the #D series, but the 50D can't record video. Then I installed magic lantern, and now it can record video and so much more. Didn't end up shooting much video, but the photography features are so numerous and useful.

Thanks! I will try out Magic Lantern!

Camera software reminds me a lot of car software (entertainment and nav stuff) in that its obviously a bit of an afterthought and its a checkbox exercise and they don't give much thought to the actual user experience.

e.g. My wife has a lovely Audi but when I drive it I get very frustrated by how long the nav/entertainment system takes to start up...

Canon have finally added a builtin bulb timer to many of their latest-gen models, as well as an interval timer. Of course, the most likely reason for not doing it sooner had to do with wanting to sell remotes rather than any technical difficulty.

I've noticed Langid doesn't always work well with short texts, so I'm looking forward to try the Equilid library!
