I deleted my account a few days ago. It was surprisingly less trouble than expected. I had very little linked to my account, only my PlayStation account had access for posting media from my PS4 which I only did once or twice. I downloaded m

Citation count isn’t always the best indicator depending on the field. It’s hard enough to find good papers without the literature being further polluted with substandard work. The job of a reviewer isn’t a simple yes/no answer. Review

The two cameras I have, original and Illium were pretty stable. Very slow but I didn’t experience any crashing whatsoever. Ultimately Lytro will be a footnote in camera history. We’re already seeing scaled back implementations in SLRs and s

From the Arxiv paper, multidimensional word vectors are used in natural language processing. However they can be many gigabytes in size making then cumbersome. This approach aims to solve that issue. The wiki page on Word2vec seems helpful.

SpaceChem was my favourite iPad game. It was great when travelling when you had some time to burn and it could be really challenging. It’s a shame that Zachtronics decided to drop support for iOS.

It used to be just one minor swipe down. You could pull down the notifications blind just a small bit and you’d have access to it instantly. It was really useful, now I have to swipe across two screens. [0] Mail is similar, there are more t

The current iOS calculator app is atrocious looking. However I usually use use spotlight for my calculations but that’s been hidden several swipes away if you’re in an app. Where’s the minimalism in the amount of touch input needed? Replyin

I’ve mentioned this before but a median filter would nuke the single outlying pixel without too much of an effect on the input image. Is there an attack that can get past such a basic preprocessing step?

Not only is this a nice demonstration of the power of open data, it’s also very exciting for a whole range of material science research.

I made tbe smart TV mistake. Not only are they bad for the reasons you state they are also utter junk. All I really want is a good panel with plenty of ports and good speakers.

My biggest problem with the current MacBook line up is the much higher price, reduced feature set and the widely reported hardware quality issues with keyboards, speakers and body rattles. I won’t be buying a Mac with the current keyboard s

Anything in particular? I was thinking of things like viscosity and stress analysis for fluid mechanics. It would be easy enough to animate a stress tensor and show how each term behaves when prodded. Similarity the basic concepts behind la
