I take it they will go deeper into the materials than they went in their previous course ( http://www.ulaff.net ), which also covered the topics to a limited extend.

As an aside, the original Kinect and Kinect for Xbox 360 use different technologies for 3D detection. The original Kinect projects an infrared pattern and then detects the deformation of the pattern to determine distance/shape. The Kin

Why even limit yourself to two cameras? If I recall correctly multi-view geometry benefits from having as many cameras as possible. In the future we will all have walls covered with a checkerboard pattern in our garage to calibrate the came

I guess it's creepy in a similar way as people shooting other people virtually (in shooter video games), though a making a waifu "vending machine" adds another angle of objectification to it.

In my opinion, 1. You can be highly educated in a subject without getting a formal degree. 2. A CS degree is not a programmer/developer degree. CS is to programming as art is to drawing. 3. Having knowledge of CS might mean you can mor

Nice video. The article somewhat addresses this: "These previous approaches include using a belt‐driven band saw‐type mechanisms or water jet cutting. These approaches have limitations, most notably that the outer leaves of the lettuce

The gameplay of games such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 3 Fortress and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was very satisfying because they felt like arena shooters (due to their use of the Quake 3 engine) but were early examples of game

That's just good production values that most AAA shooters like CoD and Battlefield have. AAA studios can iterate, hire top talent and do a lot of QA testing, so naturally elements like gunplay, weapon balance and map design can be top

Don't forget to review calculus as well. Khan Academy is a good start for learning about single variable calculus ( http://www.khanacademy.org ), but their content on multivariable calculus is a bit lacking (neural networks &

After reading this book (or during), take a look at the author's (Boyd) video lectures on linear dynamical systems: https://see.stanford.edu/Course/EE263/ There is a lot of overlap between the book and the co

Waymo can of course cherry pick the scenarios which they present about. Meanwhile a human driver still has to intervene every few thousands miles.

Not quite the Netflix of online lectures, but there is http://videolectures.net . Quite some good stuff on there, e.g. lectures and conference videos on AI and robotics. The website feels very web 1.0 though.

Except that conference proceedings can be exactly like a journal, i.e. you often need to pay to access them.

The problem with saying "kubectl is the new ssh" is that it is simply not true in my opinion. Something more akin to "kubectl is to controlling a cluster as ssh is to controlling a server" would be more accurate I think.

Isn't one of the appeals of Kubernetes to have a portable cloud environment, which means I can easily switch between Windows Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, on premise, and even Minikube (localhost). Is there any simpler alte

Maybe they should have a data warehouse (which is typically denormalized) instead of a database (which should be normalized)?

So much food is thrown away by grocery stores on the expiration date or just the day after. Usually you can eat that for a few more days, but grocery stores do not want to take the risk of selling it.

arxiv is great, but for getting your PhD and a future career in academia, publishing there doesn't count nearly as much as publishing in peer reviewed journals does.

I wonder how popular downloading via Usenet is outside of The Netherlands, where me and my friends shared an account in high school. Here in Japan it seems no-one is using it (for downloading).

I love how much effort MIT is putting in making these courses widely available (i.e. releasing slides, video and exercises online).

That resembles some paper processes in Japan, e.g. to get an international conference trip refunded (as a PhD student) I need to submit around seven forms: 1. Application for travel 2. Acceptance for travel 3. Schedule 4. Request for paymen

I don't think these kind of coding interviews are given to average programmers though, and if they are I'm sure they are taken with a pinch of salt (or with a lot of help from the recruiter, or using simple tasks such as FizzBuzz

Companies pay low tax in one country for money they earned in another country. Almost every multinational does that, there are buildings in The Netherlands in which a dozen of international firms have a postbox just so they can redirect the
