While those are certainly indicators of interest, is their absence an indicator of lack of interest? In other words, "has side projects" is sufficient to prove "likes programming", but I don't think it's necess

Are junior / new grads getting sponsored for H1Bs, or senior people?

I just wanted to comment on the "out of distribution" solution the author proposes, partly for the young grads on this forum. Going "out of distribution" in abilities also means your job prospects go "out of distrib

I think it's both. You can see it with smoking. Only 20 years ago (I'll take France as the example), you could smoke indoors in restaurants and many public places and, a few years before that, even in classrooms. Recently, it was

This looks really polished. I've always found crowd and traffic simulation fascinating. The Projects page is worth looking at too.

I don't think that's possible, there's too much data that pairs your real identity with purchases. Even Delta's own information on your past purchases (recall tickets are nominative) could be enough to size you up. I don

It's not usually up to businesses to compensate wealth inequality by adapting prices to customers. I personally find this appalling, not because of the prospect of paying more or less, but because of the arbitrariness and opacity of it

What most surprises me with this article is that "personalized pricing" is even legal to begin with. What can possibly justify this being legal? It seems ripe for abuse. If airlines are allowed to do this, I don't think there

Naive question but what would be the advantage over traditional sound isolation? (such as in music studios)

By contact simulation, do you mean solid dynamics? (mechanics is not my field) I'm intrigued by the use of level set domains here. I've only encountered those in other type of numerical simulation where the intent is in avoiding s

Hey, I had a quick look at your engine's github page, what are you looking to do with surface meshing exactly?

I watched your talk, very interesting! Super inventive idea, I hope it works out. Is the name a word play with "torgnole" at all, or does it mean something?

I think there's still a unique solution but, on the harder difficulties, you're given very little to work with. (in Towers)
74.
by MITSardine 1y ago
Yeah, that's what I meant. On the other hand, something like Towers has you trying different configurations because there's not always enough information to motivate the next step.

I've had this on my phone for years, it's a great collection of puzzles. I haven't tried them all (games on phones), but it's certainly the best I have. No ads, no useless gamification, but well polished and varied puzzl

Could it be those companies are not interested in working with a small video game studio? In case they usually work with the much larger actors of the auto industry. Or maybe they're operating at a level of fidelity much higher than t

Is that actually a null result though? That sounds like a standard positive result: "We managed to show that minimum wage has no effect on employment rate". A null result would have been: "We tried to apply Famous Theory to s

by MITSardine 1y ago
If people are so interested, they'd presumably read and cite null-result publications, and their authors would get the same boons as if having published a positive result. There's some issues, though. Firstly, how do you enforce c

Hopefully a future step is enforcing airwave time limits/parity as is done in traditional media, for the countries that have such rules. How this can be done is another question, not just from a technical standpoint...

An important issue is the lack of transparency in campaigning expenses, which are capped in several countries. This is the principle that underpins the Sarkozy-Kadhafi affair (illegal presidential campaign funding) or the Brexit Cambridge A

This has been my reaction in Oslo. I saw so few cars I thought they might be banned (but I don't think that's the case). Additionally, a great deal of cars in Norway are electric already. From what I can gather, 95+% (!!) of new c

A gradient descent is used to solve optimization problems, those arise in many many cases unrelated to ML. Please research a little the history of this field, and notice how it predates ML by decades (even 180 years in the case of the gradi

I see! For your second point, you can decouple ODE time stepping and frame time stepping. I think it suffice to step until the lowest time ODE time step that is greater than the current frame time and interpolate between that and the previo

At the same time, the cos and exp are also computed using addition and multiplication. Unless the values are tabulated, I imagine you'd use a series expansion. Or an even more straightforward argument is computers only know how to do a

I don't imagine stepping through the ODE with finite differences at the same time step as drawing should be very expensive, essentially it's a handful of sums and products. In fact, using a closed form solution with an exponential

by MITSardine 1y ago
Interesting article. But why is it an issue for it to be iterative? I would imagine you're going to step through time anyways, to draw frame after frame. Wouldn't it in fact be cheaper to step through using some finite differences

Not to defend the other person's point of view (I don't have a horse in this race) but there are already open air urinals in festivals or even in Paris: https://parishistoryofourstreets.com/2021/03/22&#x2

In that AI has come to mean data-driven algorithms, I don't see this as being AI. What they describe is a local-global optimization method with BFGS as the local optimizer (this is not AI) and a noised average weighted by local optimiz
