   Celemony Melodyne does some interesting things with audio as well. Ableton Live 9 has some nifty features where it converts Audio to Midi, which you can then assign to any other sound. Nifty

   Awesome stuff. Australian sports camera work, especially for cricket, has always been ahead of the curve.

   Correct. I don't know if this is still true, but there used to be an effort to keep a greater percentage of trains on time by delaying already late trains further (by prioritizing on time trains over them). As a railway brat, I miss long d

   I have never put any iPhone in a case, even the iPhone 4 (my current phone). Seems to defeat the purpose. Although being a klutz, I am astonished that I have not even scratched it in 2 years.

    I never wanted an academic job, even before I started my PhD, and I know more than a few other people in the same boat. My options were always to go into industry or join a pure research organization (e.g. a national lab). Ended up at a s

    I have a Roku and an AppleTV and the latter gets a lot more use because of one feature above all - Airplay (and the Netflix UI on AppleTV is way better than the Roku).

    One could argue that funding for any place that thrives on pictures of cats is not that far way from funding cat social networks. There are a ton of well funded hard problems that may or may not have monetary reward at the end. What they

    There isn't much funding for protein folding and hasn't been for a long time. In general, there are ways to understand protein structure and impact in other ways and that's where the money is. Of course, nothing has the sort of funding th

    You can combine the two as well. I keep high level, amorphous goals, a few specific (usually tactical) goals, but generally don't try and set too many goals. Having flexibility between fuzzy boundaries has served me quite well and I tend

    I have a late 2011 Air and it's worth the upgrade from the 2010 Air (which I had before that). I won't be upgrading to the new Air, cause the one I have does very well, but the new 15" MBP is definitely tempting

    500 cores is approximately 32 cc2.8xlarge instances (16 cores/instance). If you are running a highly utilized cluster, i.e. you are going for a one year heavy utilization reserved instance, the compute part is going to cost you ~$262,000.
