That is interesting. As far as I know, all human-realistic CG actors are controlled by human actors, though. Kind of how an artist can take human voices and morph them into other voices for characters.

Well, I think the people who are most harmed are those who never were near the top of the pile. Unless I don't understand what pile you mean.

I enjoy that this applies pretty directly (almost aesthetically) to deeply-pipelined CPU architectures. Though for general computing, I am pretty sure it's still a win.

on PCs, keyboards were never "serial" as in "the serial port"(mice were), but they were always "serial" in the same way that the USB port is "serial". Perhaps it's better said that the switch fro

Conventional wisdom has that dense matrix-matrix multiply is generally faster if you use some cache-aware scheme instead of the textbook 3 nested for loops. Is there a similar story for sparse matrices ever?

thanks for the correction. I certainly intended just "Pommes". Glad you understood my meaning. Of course language that deviates from what's spoken by the educated (and powerful) people in the country is considered uneducated.

Awesome reply! The beginning of your comment is still talking about the writing system. If you are a kid learning to speak (or in the rarer case that you never learn the writing system of the language) then you don't notice that the or

A "minimum margin" is needed anyway, even with perfect perception, because in general you don't have perfect actuation.

I think you're mostly talking about orthography (writing), and not language itself. You might be saying that because of the different writing systems, the spoken language is different today, which seems plausible. In any case, no matte

First of all, in numerous cases, the "national standard" (whatever that means) dialect is not the dialect spoken by the majority. Can you give an example of rules of "standard English" being easier to learn than some rul

What is "simple" is a matter of opinion, but in this case I think your opinion is pretty incorrect. The fact that the "rules" vary with region, generation, level of formality, and so on seems to fly in the face of your c

You're biased, of course, but exactly in the right way in my opinion. Personally this is a beautiful example of why representation matters. People without dyslexia (myself included) simply cannot know what people with dyslexia can and

Here's another example of a generative model that improves data efficiency, in a similar-ish domain. https://gizmodo.com/a-new-ai-system-passed-a-visual-turing-t... / http://web.mit.edu/cocosci

I think really just "Value Iteration" (which isn't just used in RL). Reinforcement Learning itself is a problem setting and there are solutions in RL that don't use dynamic programming (for example, policy gradient metho

I don't think it's that common to solve, say, shortest paths by solving the LP/MIP formulation (unless maybe the problem at hand isn't strictly a shortest paths problem). Is it?

When groups of people separate (for whatever reason, including social oppression reasons) language drift can happen. It doesn't have to be lack of education that causes language drift. I think you are throwing the baby out with the bat

Recognizing a difference where there is one does not cause segregation based on race. If we have to choose a causal direction, I'm pretty sure it goes the other way. Otherwise we'd say things like "The government are trying t

You can trade sample accuracy for sample rate. This is how I directly interpret ordered dithering. The following line on the wikipedia article communicates (maybe) this: "The size of the map selected should be equal to or larger than t

I didn't understand how the gradients are produced to honor this underflow behavior. Is that the reason why they use "ES" instead of symbolic (or probably they meant automatic) differentiation?

I would guess it's just outputting the 16 or so (decimal) digits of a IEEE float using one of the round-tripable representations. Not sure what else would be reasonable. Could you round the output with some specialized tool? Also what

I'm guessing that NTSC and PAL have a color burst on every line, vs every frame, because over an entire frame the local oscillator might not be stable enough. At least back in the day. Same with the timing of the sweep circuits, which

There are sync pulses on every line of analog video, as well as to color burst in most analog video standards. You couldn't just sweep theta and r continuously for a whole frame.
