Hey, can I contact you somehow?

Oh, loophole found! 'This next thing is the best idea ever and you will agree! Recruiters want to sell bananas ' 'OK, good, what is the... ' I hope this is catched by the grading system afterward.

I had a lot of fun testing the system. I couldn't answer several questions and we're asked the question in a loop, that wasn't very nice, however if I didn't know some metric asked or some definition of that metric I was

One collection that I always loved due to the clear exposition is the one from Walter Greiner[0]. It goes from zero to quite advanced theoretical physics topics in a very nice way. I think that sadly some volumes were never translated, so t

That reminds me a lot how one presentation from the Nvidia GTC was made! https://youtu.be/1qhqZ9ECm70?si=ESfE4ITfmSrq508y Truly impressive video.

Hey I see that you are in Belgium, do you have some introductory material on IVP? Or recorded seminars? I'm always interested in learning more about arch

Last time I tried depth pro it was not really metric, I wonder if this one is as they claim. If someone has some experience on that side I would be interested

I'm always surprised by the amount of advises in rehearsal. I like to give public speaches, but I organize myself completely differently. I spend much time making Slides that are easy to follow and logically ordered, and in each I know

Let say.. I remember quite well when I learned Lisp, and differently to any other language I learned, it gave me profound insights and even more profound frustration trying to understand some concepts. I remember playing with call with cc,

From the slides, they are reducing the gap, it's not there yet. But I was actually pleasantly surprised by how close they are.

I think the common opinion is that unless you are really careful, it becomes quite a big executable eating a huge amount of ram even for low functionality and often slow. There are very good electron apps, but the engineering to make them s

It becomes an oversight to a deliberate act only if the recording person knows that he was detected. So that means that your anti recording glasses should signal 'no recording' in some way. Otherwise it's not really useful..

I used reveal.js and quadro to make lecture slides. And as much as I wanted to like it, it never worked out. For easy presentations and pitch deck I'm sure it works well.. But the people behind those tools do not seem to have the exper

IMO math is backward compatible by default unless you change the foundational axioms (rare occurrence). In particular you can most of the time define morphisms between concepts.

As a non US resident, I don't really get it. Can someone explain why is it such a crime to run a school? (illegal maybe, but I guess the purpose is still to teach to young people). Shouldn't we promote the creation of schools?

I don't mind either, I have way too few time to write blogposts, but I have some things that I want to share. So I focus on the content extensively, and use the llm to help with the style and the phrasing and grammar.. But I often corr

My impression is that this style started with apple products. I remember distinctly opening a terminal and many command lines (mostly Javascript frameworks) applications were showing emoji in the terminal way before LLMs. But maybe it origi

Hum.. At least where I live in europe, you still need to battle with insurances for any non trivial problem.. We get a health care coverage for the common stuff, but many things are not covered, or not covered enough.. Then you need insuran

I didn't check exactly what Kaitai does but, MPEG uses a custom SDL for it's binary syntax: https://mpeggroup.github.io/mpeg-sdl-editor/ Just sharing, in case someone is interested :)

Totally agree, in my experience we are far from having reliable research code based on prompts. We are clearly not there yet, but I feel that the article is pushing in that direction, maybe to push research in that direction. There was a lo

I like programming, I like clean code, so it's something I struggled with when I began research. But actually, producing easy to read code when you don't have specifications, because you don't know yet if the idea will work,

Take into account that this is posted on IEEE. In my opinion, their target audience are scientists rather than programmers, and a scientist most often think of code as a tool to express his ideas (hence, perfect AI generated code is kind of

I totally agree with this, I just want to add: For fun, working hard can be a lot of fun. I get very bored when I don't, wathever kind of 'work' I'm doing. And also, the harder I work, the more capabilities I have, this

My lab is working actively in that area :) We hope real 3d camera will be a reality in some years.

Aaaha for me it was exactly the other way around! I had a very complex piece of logic, with many many many moving parts. So I implemented many paths of that logic by hand, every one with their own specifics. Every path took something like 2

My 2 cents : I make it a game or I find beauty in it. As a more concrete example, as soon as you learn to enjoy learning as an activity, it becomes fun, whatever you are studying. So you only need to learn to have fun while learning. Start

I would be interested in looking at such a course, all the ones I saw were pretty dull. I found the most systematic way of teaching critical thinking is to do a lot of maths.

Hey, I attend MPEG regularly (mostly lvc lately), there's a chance we’ve crossed paths!
