Plenty of good topics in here, but it's interesting to see how things have changed since 2011. From the preface: "Although there is currently no system which can recognize even in the order of 1000 object categories (the best syst

Does "ARM support" include bare-metal arm at all? I know there are several projects that move in that direction, but it's not obvious to me how mature they are relative to the rest of Rust (granting that everything in the eco

I don't know if this will start a revolution, but Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics attempts to address the problem of notation in physics. The preface walks through the classical notation for the Lagrange equations a

It would be more interesting to see a visualization of throughput vs. problem size. That would almost certainly give a better sense of how good this approach is, and it would let us compare to other CUDA monte carlo implementations, like th

I think the problem isn't with the published paper - it looks like they used a trained human interviewer and recorded both humans to evaluate their descriptors. The real problem is with the PR video, which looks really impressive, but serio

It looks like the research paper this is based on is here: http://schererstefan.net/assets/files/scherer_etal_FG2013.pd... I've only skimmed it, but the vision work looks sound, and it looks like it makes pretty essential use of the depth

That makes sense - they were both inspired by Scheme (R is in many ways just a Lisp that uses M-expressions), but evolved to deal with immediate concerns that, in retrospect, have created difficulties as the years have gone by. It makes R a

This is all good advice. When I taught algorithms, the difference in performance between students who stepped through the algorithms by hand on small examples and students who just memorized pseudocode was tremendous. One thing that can mak

Using complex analysis to study generating functions that describe time complexity is definitely interesting, and there are some cases where using generating functions can make a complicated analysis a bit easier to deal with, but I don't s

All of your complaints are spot on, but for your #5 you can hit alt-` to cycle through multiple windows of one app. For my own part, I just decided to switch back to Slackware when my roommate wanted to play Sword & Sworcery and Ubuntu
