That was my initial impression reading the OP as well, if your implementation is slow because you're using scans, well, it's because you're using scans. That said, I honestly don't know enough about the details regarding

I worked at startups (like, really really early stage Mickey Mouse ones, nothing serious) that used Firebase and Amplify. I think the toolchain for Amplify is nicer, but more dials means more mistakes can be made by juniors. Firebase's

Social media matryoshka is a pretty funny phenomena if you think about it. There are countless examples of screenshots from Tumblr with replies from 4chan threads in turn screenshotted and posted to Reddit. Often they'll circle back an

I feel like GCP's losing ground to AWS and Azure has been a trend for at least before AI, though perhaps you're saying the same thing, that Google has long lost the reputational lead. I can't speak from experience, but what I

Honestly, I can't find the result referenced in the article, nor in a similar article posted to SCMP. It might be because I'm searching in English, didn't dig too deep. My guess is that they added a gene that codes for Dsup[^

Whoops, that's not what I meant at all. I really just wanted to avoid excluding Persians like Avicenna/Ibn Sina. I actually wasn't aware of al-Quff before this post, nor that he was a Christian before your comment. Goes to sh

Yeah, I imagine it'd be like reading Latin, I even struggle with English texts written only 4 centuries ago, forget 14 centuries ago. Access is a good point too, I think Medieval and Renaissance texts tend to accumulate at Yale, Oxford

Definitely agree with all the advantages you describe. There's no reason to not consider UToronto, McGill, Waterloo, UBC, etc except perhaps that they don't use common app (though if I recall the application process was supposed t

I really want to read these texts by early Islamic physicians/polymaths but it's tricky to find translations (though in fairness I haven't dug as deeply as I probably could've). There's some fantastic history there,

Very impressive demo and use of the iPhone's depth camera. I suppose as long as FaceID exists there's no reason to try to use only RGB over RGB-D, though I am curious if they'll bring it to Android phones that have the requir

I found this to be one of the weaker points in the research, as far as making a short case goes. If anything, the fact that it's so popular in hip hop would expose it to a much larger legitimate audience. Regardless, it's also jus

This is insanely impressive, looking at the 3D reconstruction results. If I'm not mistaken occlusions are where a lot of attentions being placed in pose estimation problems, and if there are enough annotated environmental spaces to cre

I do recommend the Third Reich in the Ivy League as a generally good read, which highlights the significantly more nazi-sympathetic student body at harvard with the more activist population at Columbia, largely in part due to the fact that

Cui bono? There are a lot of problems with the Ivy League, the lack of athletic scholarships are one of the few things they do absolutely right. The thing is that athletics are less, not more democratic as a distribution mechanism for adm

Pornography is not hyperreal sex but it is part of the hyperreality of human sexuality. Pornography presents itself as a depiction of real sex that's more authentic than, say, a sex scene in the movies, by showing the whole picture so

Certainly not unique to Baudrilliard. Judith Butler I think has been voted one of the worst academic writers several times to my knowledge (she was president of MLA for a term, too, if I'm not mistaken). Deleuze and Guatarri are famous

I can't fully answer this question bc I'm not in the sc fab field but afaik for most medical research you're not needing to get down the nano-scale yourself. Unless you're designing/building custom chips for imaging
