What Sam meant was "take the time to build a product your users love, no matter how long it takes, before you focus on growth " (addition mine). You should absolutely release your product to customers to gather feedback as early

Why would they? In the bigger scheme of things computer vision is still pretty much a clean slate. Nobody's making any serious money (yet). And Nvidia is still first and foremost a graphics company. Buying Nvidia for CV tech would be l

Intel really really needs a market they can dominate that consumes lots and lots of chips. IoT is one bet, Wearables (apparently was) one bet. Yes. And Computer Vision applications will likely be that market. There were big algorithmic br

An often lost fact in automatic vs. stick-shift discussions is that in practice automatic transmission causes much heavier wear on the brakes of the car. This is because with a stick-shift you can just gear down when going downhill or befor

Apart from the content, why is it even called a "contract"? There's no terms and obligations for the "American voter" in there.

I was stating this in the context of ray tracing. Why not just use OpenMP and be done with it?

by rsp1984 10y ago
It sounds to me like what you'd need for ray tracing is a fork/join threading model with a master and several worker threads. OpenMP provides exactly that and is a widely supported standard. I'm curious: Why would you use any

It may have been part of the strategy all along. I always found the schedule really aggressive. He announced it with big fanfare in late summer at TC Disrupt with availability end of 2016. I don't think he ever thought that was realist

This. Apple has lost touch with reality. They seem to confuse the consumer iPhone world where they basically get away with whatever they want (since they set the standards and it's all just toys and entertainment anyway) with the profe

I don't think it's a good strategy to discourage people from diving right in. There are many courses and books out there that are suitable even for a beginner who wants to learn about NN. Of course it's important to get a bro

What a lot of people miss (including the author) is the time factor. Yes you can bootstrap a business and grow things organically once you have found decent product/market fit. The problem is that it will just take a much longer time u

It is actually not about "classic" vs. "modern". A lot of what's described in the book is as relevant as ever. Mostly what's changed is that what used to be heuristics and hand-crafted features is now getting r

A lot in the book is about geometry and Structure from Motion. It's an area that's becoming augmented but not superseded by Neural Nets. For example if you want to generate a 3D model from images you can't just throw a NN at

This may be a bit of a "visual Turing Test" actually. Humans are easily capable of seeing the picture "through" the shapes, but image recognition algorithms would probably find this kind of input quite hard. I'd be

This is probably an unpopular opinion and for certain I lack the qualification to run a public company of about 4000 people and hence to make snarky comments on the internet. However it's my common sense that tells me there's some

I'm sure they tried to do something fancier with computational photography but probably ran out of time for the release. I'm confident they are going to deliver this in the typical S update next year or even as an OTA.
