Yes you can - if you're new its a remarkably painless way to get started, at least compared to the pain you would otherwise endure :-)

My favorite has always been Serpinski curve - the math behind Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld :-) Here, you can print one yourself :-) https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:622627

One anecdotal data point - https://www.math.uci.edu/~zhao/publication/mypapers/pdf/surf... - note the authors and the funders - certainly a data point reinforcing the argument

There's a lot of history to it - the Parallel Data Processing Group (PDP) in the '80s was at UCSD - the real problem is that we don't have curriculums in place outside the top tier institutions that lead to research success

Actually I like drones - my point is that no matter how smart it appears, software's still a pretty simple system doing what you told it to do. With what May wants, she will hatch a world where she can put you anywhere (video + ML to

This is horrendous - the entire point of the Internet is that it doesn't care, it's an inter-network, and it's only goal is to keep the packets flowing, at least when our dear leaders STFU. As someone in and out of machine

I sometimes wonder if Tesla should be getting into autonomous nav with some of the evident problems they have with high school geometry and recharge planning. That said, the author of the article used SG&A expenses as a club to smack t

Wow - that actually makes a hell of a lot of sense - I thought that invalidated a startup :-) I like the combination of interests, I would believe if my homeowners ins co is running my monitoring and alarm systems, they do have a ves

Why do dolphins need sonar ? They hunt in the visible light zone, they do have eyes. Same deal here.

First I laughed, and then I thought this wasn't such a bad idea - sure you want to absorb the mind numbing true cost of the entire stack, then knock yourself out, be as 'Gollumy' as you like - get caught leveraging OSS for

Why google keeps pushing Tango is an excellent question - there are some good people in the group, but in general the performance and achievements have been abysmal. Considering that TensorFlow and Tango come from the same organization w

Actually, not true - highly probable, yes, but not true - opencv already supports everything necessary to reproject a synthetic image based on a set of source images. If I'm taking a picture of someone directly in front of me and t

Purely by inference based on ML/MV interactions with various bits of teh Googz, it will depend very much who is asking these questions - the closer you get to the tensor processing unit and its enclosing code, the more you're goi

Sigma and power aren't for loops, but they do represent the melding of iteration and operation - the key is your definition of the sigma above - silly computers are always trying to 'do' things, and often math can simplify

As a person who used to make their living completely off the msft stack and now is completely off it - I'd redo that headline to say every action of Ballmer's probably helped break his relationship with Gates - yes, Gate's M

Programming is pretty broad, as others have observed - in part of my world, scene reconstruction for machine vision tends to drag in tensor calculus, but the average enterprise developer is safe with the basics - also, good libraries mean y

I do hardware engineering because I started my career when it and heavy math were required to get into software courses (and you first computer came as a bag of parts) - the camera itself is spherical build, wedging 26 cameras, 4 beaglebone

TL;DR; I'm an impoverished small scale serial arsonist of expensive components remembering that software means never having to leave physical proof of your boo boos, most of the time. OK, I'm actually a software engineer back int

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet - The Smalltalk environment itself is an excellent example of non-trivial Smalltalk - hey, you can even go in, fiddle with the language parser, and watch your whole world implode :-)
