Repeating what I said in previous thread: There are real problems with the Touch Events spec, and we need a replacement. One issue is that it is under specified w.r.t its compatibility with mouse events. A concrete example: Should the touch

When you say "supported the defacto standard", I suppose you mean "Apple just did something, and the others copied it to be compatible". The problem is, as it always is, that since the details aren't specified the i

About the "Death to America" phrase - that doesn't really have the meaning you ascribe to it. Taxi drivers in Tehran will mumble "Death to traffic" - it's a figure of speech that's much milder than it&#x27

Since this paper along with [1] both beat human level performance on ImageNet, using seemingly unrelated techniques, it seems like there's a clear path to achieve the next state of the art result: Implement and train a network that use

This post is written by Ilya Sutskever, who has co-authored some of biggest breakthroughs in machine learning the last five years. Which do you think is most likely: a) That he has a naive understanding of machine learning and neuroscience,

I thought the entirety of the C. elegans 302 neuron neural network had been implemented in code. If we're able to implement accurate copies of them, we have effectively made them immortal. Scale this up to human brains, and we are immo

Maybe you're not using ng-app? In that case, document.querySelectorAll("[ng-app]") wont return any elements, and it wont find the root scope. Replacing "[ng-app]" with a selector that finds your root element should

This is possibly better called a list of framework design mistakes made by the AngularJS team. #3: The fact that the default dependency injection mechanism breaks when minified means it should never have been included. If this mechanism sne

It's worth pointing out that Vladimir Vapnik is the inventor of Support Vector Machines. The short version of what he's done here is he's come up with a way of formulating them that allows him to make use of extra information

I've been hoping for a scikit-learn like wrapper around theano for a long time. Thank you for this, I think it could be extremely useful!

Branch A and B can merge in from mainline every hour, but you wont catch problems with A+B until either is merged _into_ master. Yes, you can catch the problem in staging, but you might have caught it before that if you had merged earlier.

> But you can't actually 'work on the same code'. You have to have a copy. Surely this is a little overly pedantic? The point is that you want developers A and B to work on code bases that are as close to each other as pos

I think this practice tends to encourage merging code later rather than sooner, which has caused more problems in code I've worked on than anything else. With N developers, you may end up with N or more increasingly diverging branches.

I have no idea what Nimrod is doing, but I suppose one could output JS where a heap is simulated through a TypedArray, such that the JS GC only has a single memory reference to keep track of. Then you could give guarantees on GC performance

I don't blame them. I had a go at implementing an IMAP server once, and it ranks as one of the most frustrating programming experiences I've ever had. The standard is huge, fragmented, and is full of strange requirements to fulfil
