   I know, but I still wonder about level of soundproof/mechanical vibration and the level of mic and camera sensor isolation VS level of optical vibration. In addition sound can travel many different paths since it is mechanical vibratio

   I am just worried that they are picking up part of information from camera mic. Maybe camera mic output is not totally independent from the video sensor, and is encoded in the final video.

   This reminded me of this TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/john_graham_cumming_the_greatest_ma... Does anybody know about software for simulation of this kind of mechanical devices? Is it even possible, for example to

   Very nice article, it resonated with me. It seems that talented people have a great burden, which comes in form of often asking yourself "have you done enough with all the talents you have?". It seems to be quite common, and it ev

   This article resonated with me, and I agree with the main points. It is interesting to look at etymology [1] of the word passion. It goes along the lines of suffering, etc. Why would anyone recommend to anybody to go and suffer? Unless it i

   Thanks, will try it out, but wrom tutorial vids it looks more on the CAD side than handdrawing side.

   Thanks for the reference. Are you aware of any (commercially available) handdrawing to CAD software? I need to do a bunch of relatively simple figures for my thesis, and it would be much easier if I could just use handdrawings and than tran

    No, I got scared away by Simple example and Real example from the docs :) Do you maybe have some hints/links for cffi?

    For example does PyPy always warm up, or can it store "warmed up" version of some function (where type of objects is inferred)? I know that this is not in accordance with highly dynamic nature of Python, but not all functions are highly dyn

    Can someone knowledgeable compare PyPy, Numba and Cython? I mostly use Cython. Tried Numba also, it has very nice workflow when it works with autojit (when it doesn't error messages are pretty cryptic). With PyPy I don't understand why for

    Is it possible to use similar algos for meshing (used in finite element analysis)? Shape recognition wouldnt be needed as the first step, since CAD files are input in FEA.

    Say he gives you a list of 300 students who can't go together in rooms. You say, good, I will take the remaining 100 students, and give them rooms. It even has unique solution :)

    Is example about finding accommodation for 100 from 400 students, given in article, well formulated? Say dean gives you an empty list, then what is so difficult in selecting 100 random students?

    Thanks for the link. I also like minimalism, I can say that it is my favorite style in modern classical music. Found this little clip while I was preparing my music history exams few years ago, it really explains Philip Glass nicely :) htt

    I never quite understood why music went this way. My take is that, as always, musicians had to have some kind of sponsorship, and it slowly shifted from musician being sponsored by noble family (for example Liszt and Esterhazy) to getting a

    I remember watching Google tech talk by Alex Martelli, where he mentions Wittgenstein as his favorite philosopher. Always wanted to learn more about Wittgenstein since than, but I guess I will have to find something more beginner friendly t

    Wonder how they managed to measure such weak signals from the flowers. Also not sure if signal is the right term to use, because from the article it seems that no information (in conventional sense)is being transferred. Charged particle q (

    Now away from the fun side, this could be a cool gadget for education also. For example imagine guitar lessons filmed using Glass.

    When someone reduces human intelligence to one number, that is really a good indicator of that someone's intelligence. We don't know much about intelligence except that it is diverse. There is a bunch of excellent ideas about intelligence,

    If anybody has simple and beautiful :) use cases of QEMU please share. I used it to run Debian Squeeze MIPS images, so that I could have gcc output in MIPS assembly.

    This looks really nice. Do you think similar algorithms could be used in electromagnetics, for example automatic design of antennas?

    Yap, there is a bunch of papers, but no publicly available prototype to try. Imagine having a python module: from imaginary_music_module import piano_performer as p p.play("chopin.ly", style="Pogorelich") That would be nice :)

    Nice work. Is anybody aware of automatic music performing software? I think that this is similar to automatic generation of music but more structured and therefore easier to implement. I remember reading some studies about software performi

    I think there exists a terrible confusion about emotions in general fueled by pop culture. People should understand that emotions are just a form of motivation and not something magical. Unpleasant emotions don't have purpose to make you fe

    That was also my theory, but it results in a cruel zero or one binary world. Here is a more friendly one. Imagine a probability distribution (lets say a Gaussian :))over all possible partners. Now, there is a small number of people that rea
