I don’t like those 48 hour coding hackathons without sleep or shower. They are useless and detrimental to health. I don’t like techbros’ hangouts, with beers, playing pool, and occasional jerking off jokes. Thanks for saying this. I feel

Engine before the front axis, making the engine weight work against the rear-axis, ouch! That's a recipe for poor driving dynamics. This could have legs as an EV though.

Quite refreshing to hear a European voice in this debate (not suggesting that she represents all Europeans -- but it definitely strikes a chord with me). She's wrong about one thing though: Damore was fired, basically, for making a we

This is definitely the best response to the memo that I've read. He clearly says which parts of the "manifesto" are an acceptable expression of opinion in the workplace and which aren't. I am very relieved that he didn

Everybody blames the author for creating a disturbance, but you can't create a disturbance without people being interested in what you say. This. This is the core of what's going on. I wish this was the #1 reply on this thread.

Shameless plug: At DotProduct (www.dotproduct3d.com) we have pioneered this. We've been selling our solution since summer 2013.

Note that this only works for objects that don't have any flexible parts and don't interact with the water in any other way than pushing it aside (e.g. soak water).

How about firing air at an object through a series of nozzles, measure the resulting turbulence and then solve for shape ;-)

My guess is they estimate one or several dominant scene planes from the sparse triangulated feature points and get scale through incorporating accelerometer measurements.

However, to actually have the C++ compiler do inlining at compile time (LTO be damned), we have to put the definitions of inline functions into header files, which greatly increases their size and processing time. I can't think of a

When I see rich people being greedy, I find it hard to imagine how much worse they would be as human beings if they were poor. They probably are poor, at least from their viewpoint, because humans like to compare themselves against thei

Totally off-topic but I always take slight offense when headlines talk about "apps" when the actual meaning is websites or web services. For example I clicked on the headline expecting content about the speed of Android / iOS

I think the question is a little too unspecific for there to be a good answer. The field is vast and depending on which thing in computer vision you want to tackle the best learning paths may vary greatly. Just to give a bit of an overview:

Not the money part of it. Not sure about legal/strategic implications down the road.

I figured it out eventually but at first I thought X was percent of people. Also confusing is the "8 hours per day" subscript. Took me a while to figure out it actually is the Y axis labeling (but poorly placed and styled).

I just can't get my head around this. 1. Why don't they just build it themselves? That would cost probably low single-digit millions and maybe 1 year of time. I don't mean to downplay the work that went into Zenly but it&#x27

This may kill Uber. Highly unlikely. Why? Investors who stomach multi-billion dollar annual losses will probably just shrug off the recent bit of trouble. If the choice is to either write off $15 billion or to give another couple to help

Whatsapp: 500 million users for $18b. Slack: ~10 million users for $9b? This doesn't make much sense to me. What's the rationale behind this?

Finally someone is doing this! I've been toying with the idea myself but haven't been able to dedicate time to it, mostly I was deterred by the MS Word format mess. I'm sure it wasn't fun making this work with a 21st cen

This whole discussion is very US-centric. When looking beyond US borders it turns out you can have it both ways: Get a degree from a very good university without paying tuition fees (or at least not much). For example in Germany internation

I have tried about 10 different kinds and the ones that work best for me -- by about a mile -- are the 3M 1100 [1]. They have a light coating that makes them "stick" just a little bit in the ear (but not uncomfortably). This close

A friend of mine works for a large M&A advisory firm. Apparently it happens all the time and the acquiring companies often make it deliberately hard for an acquired company to meet their earn-out targets, e.g. by hitting them with a lot

Besides it being a great and no-BS talk which I very much recommend, I think the title is a bit misleading. The talk does a good job explaining how to identify PMF (i.e. how to tell fake PMF apart from real PMF), but unfortunately doesn&#

And since we're in shameless plug territory already: By comparison DotProduct [1] is doing full 3D model creation on tablets since 2013 (our first product was based on a Google Nexus 7 with just 1 GB of RAM -- no cloud required). [1]
