And the next step will be to show different variations to multiple focus groups, then train a neural network to automatically select the set of blending weights for the film that are projected to maximize revenue, thereby automating the pos

Does this differ significantly in principle from the proxy-compression that Opera Mini has been doing since ~2006? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Mini#Functionality Or is it primarily a new/better/altern

They mention that both GCC and Clang 'suck', but I don't see alternative in the 'rocks' category.

It would have been much more 'surprising' if the research had shown the opposite to be true.

This was phrased really well in the movie/article, worth looking up: > “I instantly realized that everything in my life that I'd thought was unfixable was totally fixable — except for having just jumped."

yes, yes [i assume you mean either getting spit out, or closed out on]. drones are starting to make inroads here too, but it is still mainly remote stuff, taken from afar and manually controlled by someone on the beach. something like this

drones will really 'hit that' when they shrink to the size of a large [fairly quiet] bug, and the ML gets good enough to follow someone around without incident... yikes.

Assuming that is true, and while IANAL I read it that way too, it is baffling that someone in the patent office can read something like this and not feel compelled to laugh and toss it in the dustbin. Replace 'network carrier' wit

Reminds me of the John Henry myth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_%28folklore%29 probably will end the same way.

are there any examples? i couldn't find any on the site. what about some kind of support for dot/graphviz?

doesn't it just replace it with another (nearly) hopeless condition? success presumably means total quadriplegia - and this exacerbated most likely by 'total body rejection' - or maybe even 'head rejection' dependi

what about the Apache license? this seems to be the go-to for this particular issue, and is widely used by Google and MS as well as about a billion other projects. it directly addresses this issue. to me the biggest red flag initially was

wanwan is the sound the dog makes (like ruff-ruff in English). wan-chan is a colloquial term for dog. [just to be a nit-picking ass].

it's absolutely ridiculous that they don't provide this sort of basic functionality.

I use it [and like it] for two main purposes: 1.) Packaging and configuration development. I find it nice for this purpose because a.) it makes it easier to ensure that the work I do does not depend on some quirk of my local system configu

well, the idea is that you should be able to run any data set you have, and get good results relative to other solutions. but that is an open question with any research. the point of the docker/lxc aspect is to provide a simple worki

also it hadn't occurred to me that this might be something interesting to even publish a paper about. so thanks for that too [assuming someone else hasn't already done this too..] edit: well no surprise there i guess! http:/

the stuff i work on is in the area of machine learning, so most published work involves one or more well-known data sets. i would argue that the two are the same in this case. the lxcs provide all the source code i write [plus of course the

cool, i had not heard of this. i just started using docker for work and came to the conclusion that it was epically well-suited to this purpose as well. i think docker might be even nicer, since there is no special tools required [but ill

Reading, no question. Even more so if it is a question of programming, or configuration, where step-by-step examples -which I can copy-paste into the terminal- are orders of magnitude more useful than a video.

This is a really excellent summary. I'd like to add though, that the 'people stuff' you mention - which I think you are spot on about - continues after the PhD; and furthermore it is a fact of life in nearly every other mild

In Japan at least, there is a very different mainstream cultural perception of 'startups'. It is basically not OK to try one and fail - you do not get credit for trying, and it can have a significant negative impact on your caree
