   Thanks for the balancing point. My experience describes applied research in such "hot topics" as computer vision and machine learning, and many people, myself included, are more interested in getting the technology to work and app

   There's an inverse side to that "anyone": professional scientists are under pressure to publish long scientific-looking articles, and their fellow reviewers have almost no motivation to spend any significant time reviewing (n

   All things that you list are very specific domains, you'd have dedicated people responsible for them in even a medium-size corporation. The thing you really need to know, is how to make sure these people do not lie to you and do their

   Yet hardware, especially dumb mechanical parts like cases, is what distinguishes Apple devices the most. They also design awful inconvenient UIs, just like auto companies.

   What do you mean, a simulation? The problem is AFAIU with occlusions and inability to recognize vehicles that are not very close to the camera.

   I wonder, how does one approach Google for such business tech? Or do they only find customers themselves? I couldn't find the landing page for prospective enterprise Glass customers, though there's Glass at Work partner list with

   That is, they inherit the worst aspect of math notation.

   Thanks for the link, I think it's a step in the right direction. I've stopped wearing Pebble Steel because it's too ugly, though the functionality is perfect: you can see what's happening with your phone to decide whethe

    If you want a watch that looks like a Russian oligarch just curled up around your wrist and died, you might be interested in the latest model of Rolex’s Sky-Dweller. Beautifully written.

    Well, not everybody has a taste for abstract art, it is understandable. But did you see his actual photostream (beyond the article)? Like [0], which is at least interesting in its similarity to some crude computer graphics experiment. [0]

    Porsche Design products (clothes, home appliances) are present in many malls, at least where I live. The design is very goofy (more so than even of their cars), and prices are competitive with higher-quality brands. Seems like there's

    I'm sure AC will be a major revolution in computing in general, though ANN-based systems may come there earlier. Also, there's a huge application domain in image preprocessing: the pixel value is analog and noisy anyway, so buildi

    Let's see. As these early ML-heavy prototypes will start becoming industrial and safety-critical products, the emphasis will be on explainability and graceful degradation. This inevitably leads to a hybrid system with poorly vectorizab

    Also the thing rarely mentioned: they have the best web calendar for the desktop. The UX matches that of Fastmail: fast and free from annoyances. Supports sync with thirdparty services, too.

    One BIG MINUS is internationalization (couldn't care less about localization though), they still haven't completely fixed full text search for Cyrillic mail. Some weird behavior like not matching partial words, or otherwise omitti

    iOS supports third-party keyboards since, like, 8th edition. Exactly what made iPhone acceptable to me. Not that I'm too happy with it: for some reason my SwiftKey's gesture-recognizing algorithm seems to be getting worse over tim

    Agree, SpiderOak is far from good. Haven't yet experienced data loss, but their sync is very slow and, with custom synced folder (not the 'Hive' one) pretty unreliable. From Crashplan's web page I don't see if they

    Do you mean debuggers are more advanced beyond comparison (my opinion; but tomography is closest to a medical debugger IMO), or vice versa?

    considering the correct circonflexe on « benoît », it just might be that their primary language is more tolerant to avoidance of capitalization or they might as well had to use some crappy inconvenient input method, like a sensor keyboard,

    I work with C++ on embedded computer vision systems, and we mostly build our own low-level image processing libraries. Elements of this philosophy are quite popular in our company in building libraries, i.e. code meant to be reused between

    There is a strong argument for them to still refuse: suppose the suspect somehow gamed the system (e.g. by translating the voice via radio), and the suspect is acquitted based on this data, and proceeds to do his evil things — think about t

    Thus you have a training dataset. Train a statistical model, and with enough programmability in your smart home it will be easy to forge a rather normal-looking pattern in your absence. And I'd probably use some special fire-proofed en

    We're probably going to use it in our robotic software launcher which we are using instead of roslaunch [0]. Since the scripts are Python, it will be convenient to launch all processes in different windows within same session. [0] htt

    create a product, have it ready to sell, Kickstarter it at a higher price; be both sides of the market. This is what successful research groups do: get an industrial customer, invent some tech in the process (but you won't have neith

    As MrQuincle replied, its main competitor is RANSAC, and FHT is one of the best tools in finding straight lines on images: it is indifferent to dashed lines, intersections, etc. Also, compared to RANSAC it's deterministic and doesn&#x2
