It looks like you still just use delaunay triangulation on the points on the surface of the sphere. And then he is connecting the resulting vertices with lines along the surface of the sphere. The lines look straight from head on, but are c

I was really excited for a new geo database, especially one involving Go. But, this is extremely limited. I could see some uses for it, but how does it do when you are storing hundreds of millions of points (or more) rather than a few milli

Yeah, finding the right dead zones would be pretty hard. Especially if you are somewhere with relatively good signal. Would be a very interested in the results. Disappointed with that 2 seconds though. I was really hoping for smoother. Thou

Very interesting. This contradicts how Google advertises the service though. They say the transition is seamless. Unless they are playing fast and loose with the definition of seamless, this does not seem to qualify. According to their webs

Would it also be possible to add the times to each step? It would be interesting to compare the time vs reported distance. I suspect the times for some hops will be impossibly fast due to bad geo-ip lookups.

That is an awesome link, thanks. It is really mind blowing to look at the target distance for each of them and see how fast it is approaching Pluto.

The title for this seems a bit off. The programmers asked the AI what morality is, the AI did not ask what morality is.

Yeah, I definitely just reread that post and realized what it said. Maybe go-requests or something...

I think people may have a hard time separating the two. They feel that it is infringing upon their religion, and they associate that religion with the First Amendment which they use to express it. I also think they are putting it in there a

I didn't even notice that part, very true. I think it should probably be gorequests. Sounds better than grequests anyways.

The title was previously the title of the article, not sure why someone changed it.

Ok, very valid point. But if everyone is doing it to everyone else and everyone knows it, then what does 'getting caught' actually do? Why bother feigning outrage at it?

Not saying that it excuses any of the actions, nor am I trying to be inflammatory, but I have a serious question. Does anything really think that France, or Germany, or any other nations is not doing the exact same thing to the US? All gove

Does the interviewer, or anyone for that matter, actually think Elon Musk will be the first person on Mars? Seems like a weird question to ask, I guess its just for the headline. I think I remember him saying something like not wanting to r

by Bedon292 11y ago
That is definitely odd, though it does make some sense in this case. Andy Weir has done a huge amount of research about traveling to Mars, and asking for his opinion about Elon's ideas is interesting. I would definitely prefer if they

It doesn't make sense to run it on AWS, and not just because of cost. Which is why it is run on bare metal, which costs approximately the same as two months of AWS.

They are using GPUs with large amounts of GDDR5 to store the most important data, so the increased memory bandwidth is a major part of the performance upgrade over CPU using DDR3. edit: The maximum bandwidth for DDR3 looks to be ~50GB/

Not in a straight line, but if you lined the walls of the room it should be able to fit in at least one room of a house. A 15x10ft room would probably have enough wall space.

Anyone with dual language skills can contribute. http://incubator.duolingo.com/ I assume the problem is finding Mandarin / English speakers who are willing to spend the time on the course.

I think the real question is WHO should be liable. If the car is in an accident that is for some reason deemed that car's fault. Is the passenger / owner at fault, or is the manufacturer? Will you buy a vehicle and Google be liabl

With the amount of ammo being produced, and then horded within this country, even if they found a way to make the new stuff traceable it would still probably be decades before old supplies dried up for everyone.

The number of miles / times / airlines that have been flown has no relationship to the Pre Check. It is literally a background check, which your mother passed. Meaning she is lower risk than others who have not.

What if we collage ALL employee desktops up on several projectors so we can see them all at once. Then throughout the day a (or a few) main projector brings up random / important ones for easier viewing. Kind of like a sports bar, but

Definitely an important difference. They are not actually open if there is a license fee.

Thanks. That definitely looks better than the previous 3d I have seen, though I am not sure it looks better than the Vricon stuff. They are definitely comparable at least. The textures are definitely algorithmic on Google Maps, but this pag

While it does appear to be similar at first look, they are actually different technologies. C3 requires a plane / helicopter / UAV to fly (very low, 500m) over an area to capture the data, then it can be processed into a 3d map. S

There are plenty of other uses for this technology, however I believe it is cost prohibitive at the moment. Satellite imagery is not cheap, and you need multiple images for the entire area you are interested in. Then it takes massive comput

Those seem like fairly reasonable 'ifs' to have. They have to cover themselves and prevent abuse, or else no one will trust the certificates they issue.
