I totally understand your intention behind it. And it's ok to use strong tone. But as a matter of fact: a) Say you're not going to use strong / condescending tone. b) Use strong / condescending tone. c) Express yourself

Your point is valid but if you read my comment I'm not arguing why the author is better or worse than the people he criticizes. My point is that the author is using questionable rhetoric and is not being honest with his audience at bes

I'm surprised that the article isn't answering the obvious question and that nobody here is asking it either: Did he have to pay back the 2 million?

The title, well actually the entire article, is one of those things where A -> B is stated, well knowing (and almost expecting) that readers will understand it as B -> A or B <-> A. It's the developer version of the typical

Interesting that NVDA is down almost 4% for the day [1] while AMD is up 3% [2]. Is Wall Street realizing that NVidia is not alone in the ML Hardware space? [1] https://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:NVDA [2] https:/&

I don't get it. What do the numbers mean? Why do some increase every second and some stay constant? What do the symbols (crown, buildings) mean? It looks pretty cool but I don't have the time to figure out the rules by trial and e

But also you're entirely responsible for own career, and no one in leadership is there to help you. That's really what irritated me the most when I worked there. The leadership is kind of invisible and often, so I felt, powerles

The problem is even worse. In VR you're competing on latency with human muscle feedback and what your vestibular system is telling you. In AR, you're competing with on latency with the human visual system that you're trying t

Given that you can make $5/10/15/25k a month with a cushy 9-5 corporate job where everything's taken care of for you, in most cases the choice is not small-business vs. startup, it's corporate job vs. startup. The &

I'm not a physicist but I wonder how is it possible to disambiguate this effect from classical "Einsteinian" gravitational deflection? Neutron stars must have strong gravitational effects on light as well.

It's a question of proper sensor fusion. The way it's typically done is with some form of bayesian prior + a robust estimator that can handle the case where your sensors give you disagreeing evidence of the true state. So you have
