In my country (and all of Europe) no. The fees are a nominal administration fee, which admittedly is crawling higher each year. The government, and the EU, then funds each student, and yeah that money would help with research. I'd sugg

No doubt about it. People made it through 4 years of my CS degree from a good university, and couldn't code a line. However these people all found their place in the workforce which suited their own skills. I'm not sure how much c

Your adviser was right though. If there was an infinite amount of money then they'd have lecturers who are dedicated to lecturing. But there is never enough money so...what options are there but to do the things that will bring more in

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm only too aware that expertise in a field doesn't make you a good teacher. I did badly in some subjects for the same reason, I feel.

Teaching is a distraction to the real work that goes on in universities. Just because you don't see professors teaching, doesn't mean that they aren't working extremely hard, on very important and stressful tasks (i.e. tasks

I don't see an overlap between VR and AR, in terms of use-case or technology. I don't get why they'd start competing against Microsoft when they're already being dominated in their own VR niche. It almost looks concerni

Ah good spot, thanks. Might be good for them to spell out their product plans in that case. From an outsider's perspective, places like Microsoft would seem far better suited for AR researchers, given that they've been researching

I've read this twice and can't quite understand....why is this Oculus blog post primarily about how great AR is and the challenges of it? I can see the paragraphs about their research but is AR on Oculus' product roadmap?

Yeah, makes sense, and for sure works for many cases. But there's no meaningful distance between two sets of preferences that have a null intersection. I've come across this just as a user with regard to film. I reckon that I&#x27

Relying on collaborative filtering (using play counts, as Spotify do) can lead to non-diverse and non-serendipitous recommendation. If I like Abbey Road then a typical collaborative filtering scheme might tell me I like Sgt Pepper's an

Of course it matters, but being represented in a movie isn't going to make Latino people be able to force push in real life. There are firmly established natural explanations for male drive which aren't overcome by representation.
