I am by no means an expert, and this by no means is indicative of a video compression FPGA, but I've been looking at .GZIP and .PNG accelerators and it seems that while they deliver incredible speed, it is done so at the worst compress

In my high school IT class we got to play Halo CE if we got all of our work done early. I made a play game batch script that started the game, but also planted a secret batch script with an unsuspecting name into your startup folder, that w

I could be wrong, I am by no means well versed in this, but I think they are limited by appraisals and inspections. If the house gets appraised significantly less than the offer, I believe that the buyer can leave their offer, effectively w

Forgive my ignorance, but after writing to neurons to re-learn walking, will that render that particular Neuralink chip unless? Since the neuron structures surrounding that chip will be constructed for walking, you won't want to furthe

I think mathematicians only become famous when they are being driven by/driving an industrial revolution. Just look at the digital revolution. I have never heard of George Boole until a quick Google search, but he laid down the framewo

I wonder what cost savings would be passed along doing it this way. Also, would PSU be a better (or possible) option? A PSU has the ability to outlast a motherboard in the typical consumer cycle, as a motherboard will only see 1 or 2 GPUs b

That would be an interesting problem, how do you algorithmically filter out SEO and focus on useful information? A signal vs. noise problem, but on human text, with the added challenge that the noise is trying to outsmart you. Maybe an adve

Quora can be good too, my go to is usually "question reddit", and if that is not sufficient then "question quora". Quora is spammy too though, so it is hit or miss, but when it hits, it hits good.

Yes that is definitely true, human language is very limited. Although, a paradigm is only as strong as it's adoption, and by reducing the barrier to entry (using common language as opposed to overly precise notation), the principles ca

I think that is a feature, not a bug. I think it makes sense in different contexts for "responsibility" to be abstracted differently. The two extremes are lots of files and functions versus fewer files and functions, and the optim

Well, it's hard to view an exponential when you are on it, because the time steps are so small, it can feel linear. As a 24 year old, I can see the effects of internet+smartphones has on people my age. We navigate information so much m

I had this idea for an RTS to make it more accessible, only allow one action per second (and you can manage a queue of actions). That way it plays more turn-based and strategic. Maybe 60 APM would still be too high and 30 APM would be bette

Kind of. I'm feeling a lot of pressure to perform, but I don't have much urgency (which usually helps me and my procrastinating self). I am in my last year as a Math Undergrad, studying for GRE/Putnam, am running a Game Devel

Different from the parent but also, how is the required skills for a chess master at 10 different for a chess master at say, 30? I feel like for the more experienced, it shifts more towards memory-based pattern recognition than logic-based

I don't have any research to support this claim (unless you consider anecdotal, n=1 as evidence), but I believe that "learning styles" exist, just that they are relatively dynamic and more specific than just "kinesthetic
