Parallel processing is about network latency and bandwidth for the types of algorithms that don't divide into small computable/paralelizable bits easily. For those tasks, supercomputer buses are unmatched.

mysterydip, you're doing a lot of posting and not listening to some of these very good answers. First. No, lifetime buys are not always a tough problem. While they can be tough, consumer grade electronics have to be the best product to

Communication can spread many things. If used to connect people and promote understanding, people can keep governments from war. If used to spread rumors and fear, people will push government towards war.

This was what we did before gifs. Then gifs came along and we stopped. Funny to see it again... as an innovation! Remember history, because it repeats.

I could be totally off on this, but his encoding is an image and LSTM is for time series, which would require a different representation. I completely agree LSTM would be useful as it would by default require a different representation. I t

Here's this from 2009. ( https://github.com/blog/530-how-we-made-github-fast ) I says Rackspace, but 2009 is a long time ago so it could have changed.

Which hurts the original company such that they start making better salary decisions. Transparency seems like a good thing here but it does create chaos during periods of correction.

A virtual person staring at them probably would have done the trick. People engage with avatars for some strange reason and I probably could have predicted their outcomes to each of these approaches.

This was my first thought when I read this article. It seems someone there read Alien III before creating the Expanse, and then greatly added to it. I'm so glad I started watching the Expanse and hope it continues to improve.

Used WPF for a while many years ago (so I'm not up to date on the latest), but I was frustrated by so many oddities and gotchas innate to the system. There were some great demos that made me think I had a handle on how it worked, but t

We don't pay them well so we get what we pay for. The exceptions are those that love to teach and love students. You can't run an organization via exceptions however. It's really a shame we don't value education more.

They earned the title so you should show respect by properly addressing them. Go ahead and call a judge "Mr(s)" or an officer "dude" and see how far it gets you. Whether you like them or not, it's up to you do decid

It's the Library of Congress's job to do just this. They are doing it. People submit huge volumes of film to them and they sort through it, digitize it, and preserve it, just like books and media.

Because: sit in a cell for a year because you don't have $500 for bail... or plead guilty. New York recently took up legislation on this topic after someone spent over a year in jail because they felt innocent, and then killed them se

So, we increase jails and police to put "them" there? Better we integrate as a society so we all enjoy each other and get along. It's possible and will eventually happen. But these opinions need to wither.

I'd like to say you are wrong, but I see no flaw in your statement, and multiple accounts in history supporting you.

I find myself recreating different versions of state machines for almost all projects I work on. The ability to reduce a problem to a state and reactions to external stimuli, resulting in a new state, is a powerful, simple and easily testab

My kid loves the Imperial March too for some reason. I thought I was a bad parent. Strange we came to the same conclusion. There must be something to this. /s (n=2)

This is a good reading list. You should probably pick up a copy of these, flip through them and see why they are so recommended. Having not done something doesn't make you an idiot. Having an opportunity and a recommendation, and rejec

That's a pretty good description of peer review. It varies, but generally the people chosen know the topic and are good representatives of the community, even if only 1-3 people. For good venues (journals and even conferences), I think

I had an opportunity to spend a day with him and his VR research team a few years back. Very exciting. Insightful. I loved his contributions to Software Engineering, but few know how much he impacted Virtual Reality as well!
