There are only 3 entries, am I correct?

I'm not sold, there are thinkers and doers in both camps.. At some levels there is no line anymore.

That's cute 30 pages a month for 5 bucks, you may be interested in ab testing depending on the study level of the students, university usually requires way more pages per month, but 15 bucks to get unlimited seems too high imo. (and un

I think you can use the XML editor in the edit menu to directly edit the SVG in inkscape

What's the problem with inkscape? It has some bugs, but otherwise it works quite well

Hey, do you have interesting slides/homeworks to share? I would be interested in taking a look

It allows you to visualize your git repository in time, so that you can see the changed and created files and their interactions. A very nice project. https://gource.io/

I'm not defending their arguments, but I think that some employees can also improve themselves on the job, it's not just the company improvement, I guess it depends on which projects, what kind of management, and the mindset of th

I don't see how you could justify using not challenging work with ZPD? To be just out of the comfort zone, it should be just more challenging than the current student abilities. Can you explain their view?

I understand your point, but I still think it is bad from the point of view of language paradigms[1]. Iframes should have not been created in the first place.. You are changing the purpose of the language while it was not made for it. (yes

I'm not an expert on this but IMO, from a language point of view, HTML is a markup language, it 'must' have no logic or processing. It is there to structure the information not to dynamically change it. Nor even to display it

Hey I never actually tried lobsters, do you mind if I ask an invite?

Il very curious of that.. My mean training with ~25-30 high quality cameras takes around 20 minutes and some Gb of memory on a single GPU, what is the size of your large scale scenes? I see many possible optimizations to lower that number o

by somethingsome 1y ago
I teach my students to make a tree of the promising optimizations and suboptimization (it can be rough), keep track of each interesting optimizations, then implement the branch that seems the more promising and at each step use the profiler

In a more philosophical matter, why there need to be a why? Does the full universe need to be causal? Are we biased to think that there always must be a why? In Feynman lectures there is a very nice way of describing what is energy, if you

A rough idea and simplification: Suppose you have a bunch of 2D points, without coordinates, they exist because you say so, they can represent anything you want. But you can't do a lot with those points, you may be interested in knowin

I went to the Enso website, but it looked like spam, so I left

That reminds me of a very beautiful flow based language years ago, Luna-Lang[1] but it seems that the website died and it is no longer maintained. [1] https://github.com/binary132/luna

I would love that, I mostly work with ideas and the codes are implementation details for me, so yes, in some way, having automated code generation would allow me to be way more productive. I'm not against it, I'm just scared about

Very interesting, do you have a specific approach to educate them in how to use LLMs? Or they do it free wheel? Do you give advices? If so which kind? I would love to have a structured approach to help students learn to use better LLMs. Wha

by somethingsome 1y ago
Can you give more details? I'm curious

by somethingsome 1y ago
I like the idea of having automatic code creation from papers, but I’m scared of it. Suppose you get a paper, you automatically implement the code, and then modify it a bit with a novel idea, and publish your paper. Then somebody else does

I really love this! I had a similar idea, but on the software design space. Now the trend is to design softwares where the interface is not editable anymore, long time ago it was fun to tweak programs so that they look like what we want, ch

The thing is, that would encourage two teams to cheat together, it would displace the problem, I'm not sure it will limit the effect that much (?)
115.
by somethingsome 1y ago
I'm curious, I don't get why the down votes? Having to race for publishing pushes people to cheat, It didn't occur to me that it was a bad point, but if you have a different opinion I would gladly hear!

IMO, stopping the race toward better h index. There is an huge amount of pressure to publish publish publish. So, many researchers prefeer to write very simple things that are probably true or applicative work, which is kind of useful, or p

So.. Criminals will move discussions to tor with encrypted messages, and only businesses and normal people will suffer from more hacks? Did I miss something?

For what it’s worth, I’ll soon be looking for new PhD students to join our lab in Belgium (Europe). It’s a great, dynamic environment, and we work on exciting problems in 3D and computer vision. Feel free to reach out if you think it could

You want triangles in general, they behave way better, think for example computing intersections. Also, debugging colors on a 3D surface is not an easy task (debugging in general in 3D is not easy). So if the rendering is nice and seems co

I was teaching python long ago to very beginners in programming. Honestly, the language became kinda harsh for newcomers, what we see as developpers is 'it's like pseudocode that runs'. But a beginner is often left behind the
