Vice Media did a video about the impact of the feral cat population on Australian wildlife, and the hunters/trappers that are working to cut down on their population[1]. Some of the imagery can be a little brutal if you're averse

This is interesting, but I don't see any explanation for why this is helpful. Obviously, the author feels that curly quotes are better typographically, but acknowledges that straight quotes are used in legal documents. They never expli

I suppose you could, but I believe that there are direct bindings from Rust to Pytorch at https://github.com/LaurentMazare/tch-rs . I haven't used it personally, but I've heard fairly good things about it&#x27

I can confirm this--Rust's data visualization and plotting libraries are still pretty early stage. You can generally do 2D bar charts and scatter plots pretty well, but once you start jumping into more complex representations or three

As someone familiar with Rust who has been interested in Erlang/Elixir, but hasn't taken the plunge, this could offer an really nice compromise for helping to learn without necessarily needing to start from scratch. It definitely

While obviously neurodegerative disorders manifest somewhat differently for everyone, I have some anecdotal evidence pointing the opposite direction. I've known people starting to undergo dementia (as a general term, may have been Park

I'm sorry, but I don't think this is the case, at least not for me. I actually own a pair of Bluetooth earphones, which I use at the gym. They do well, I don't have to worry about the cable or accidentally hitting the phone i

I'm not sure about links directly to court cases, but here's a couple different general-consumption articles from the last few years that address this sort of thing. I'm hopeful I didn't convey that the consensus on the

There's actually been some litigation around this topic recently. The general consensus seems to be that authorship gets assigned to closest version of the person who initiated the creation process of the resulting artwork. So, in this

I believe that your point stands in the context of a large-capacity commercial airliner, but it is worth considering that in some fighters, this is actually by design. For example, the F-16 is not passively stable--even when the pilot lets

At the level that you're talking about, you'll start running into the unresolved questions of modern physics. One of the best ways to look at this is through the Standard Model of particle physics, which essentially defines how th

It is definitely true for a few simple cases where the model producing simulated gain values can get pretty close, but there's an entire sub-discipline of controls theory dedicated to the trade-offs of the various tuning methodologies

I finished this one a couple months ago, highly recommended! After I started his Einstein biography in college, I missed several classes after getting caught up in it and losing track of time.

I'd never actively considered whether or not I wanted to be a panda before reading this, but my initial reaction was "of course, who wouldn't?" and I thought you were going to express a distrust of anyone without that re

I'm against the generalization of anecdotal evidence as much as, if not more, than the next guy, but their point about distractions like message alerts is doesn't seem like a controversial stance to me. That statement is in line w

Just to add my own two cents here: while I absolutely agree that numerical simulation is a great approach for understanding physics, the canonical closed-form solutions really are a necessary step for building an intuitive understanding of

Ah, you're correct. I was thinking about associate professorship, which it looks like is usually accompanied by tenure. Sorry, I sometimes get a little mixed up between which one of those is on the tenured/non-tenured side of thin

I think that this is very insightful. At least in my experience, maintainable code isn't something that naturally arises. It comes from experience and interest in writing code that will need to be maintained. A lot of students (or acad

It's a little tough to generalize about salary in academia. Obviously, a 'professor' covers multiple ranks in the academic hierarchy, but if you look at the published pay scales for assistant professors (I believe the lowest

I agree that human eyes do have benefits over your typical camera, but I don't think the phrase ignores that GAI hasn't been created yet; rather, it concisely points that out and makes it clear how difficult it is to do. As the OP

I definitely agree in this about Excel (some things I've seen some 'people who don't like programming' do in Excel are positive mind-blowing), but just haven't seen that same thing in MATLAB. That could definitely b

Your point about Simulink is fair--even the Octave version, Xcos, doesn't provide much of an alternative for doing good controls simulations. And while I agree that the Julia's JIT is pretty slow to come up, if I'm doing a lo

Both of them certainly have their uses, but especially for MATLAB, are they? I'm working as an engineer in academia right now, and even with all the legacy holdover of MATLAB, many people I know (including almost every undergrad projec

I'm a bit perplexed by this. On its surface, it's a case study being used for Evrone (a Russian software development firm), presumably to convey their expertise. However, there's essentially no meaningful detail supplied. The

That does seem interesting! After skimming that paper, I think I'm going to need to sit down with it in order to really parse through things, though. Some of the operator combinations seem to be things I haven't worked with jointl
