People only deny the existence of such people based on their own ego, believing that no one could possibly be worth 10x more or produce 10x more than they can. Those who have seen those people know full well these people exist. It's ki

This is just poor engineering. H.264 streaming is obviously superior to JPEG streaming, else MJPEG (motion jpeg) would be standard for screen sharing. In addition if all you're sharing is a picture of text, and you have access to the t

Funny here is not used in the humerous sense, but rather the other two definitions given in any good dictionary as "used to emphasize that something is serious or should be taken seriously." and "difficult to explain or under

I think this misses a lot of reasons why learning verification is important. For instance learning the concept of invariants and their types such as loop invariants. They make reasoning about code in general easier, even if you never formal

This is one of my favourite anecodtes to tell peers and colleagues because it's important when understanding buisness case/needs against programming. We all want to make perfect software, but it isn't always neccessary.

> If authors have to pony up $1500, they will only do so for journals that have readers On the other hand predatory journals make a killing from APCs so there is some market for journals with no readers.

These are all valid points. I think we agree we are just looking at different things, I argued if journals maintained their arbiter quality then the system is bad, but you rightly point out that this could finally grip this quality out of t

Thanks for clarifying, I agree with you for sure.

When you look at the pay available in the UK government for this kind of work you'd understand. Interns at financial firms get paid more than the most senior technical staff in government.

Most reputable journals will waive the fees in this case, though the easier route if you are in a rich country where this is less likely is to partner with an institution. They get to add to their research output stats and you get your fund

This is because of the fact that APC's are flat fees (usually given in US dollars, british pounds and euros only) and therefore there is no regional pricing. Most online markets have diffferent prices, for instance video games on steam

For academia's sake I hope you are correct, but my experience of the system leads me to suspect otherwise, though only time will tell. One hope might be that it incentivises institutions away from the publish or perish mind set and sta

Yes you are correct, however I don't understand how this relates to my point, do you mind clarifying? I'd also caveat that the library (the purchaser of these bundles at most universities) often buys bundles based on requests from

Upon publication almost exclusively.

The main problem is the incentives are off. Publishers are now rewarded for publishing more papers, as opposed to having more readers. When it was more readers, you were rewarded for the quality of the publication thus more people wanted to

I agree but I'd draw a different comparison. That is vibe coding has accelerated the type of developers who relied on stack overflow to solve all their problems. The kind of dev who doesn't try to solve problems themselves. It has

This is a very long winded way of saying the phrase "respect is earned not given".

Something seems off here. t-SNE should not be taking 15-25 seconds for only 5k points and 20 dimensions, but rather somewhere like 1-2 seconds. Also since the given alternative is not as good, you would probably be able to reduce the iterat

Basically depth estimation to split the scene into various planes, and then inpainting to work out the areas in the obscured parts of the planes, and then the free movement of them to allow for parallax. Think of 2D side scrolling games tha

It really depends on which 25% it is. Is it evenly distributed or is it the best and brightest, or the worst who are leaving. In addition, its institutional knowledge you are losing. I care much more about losing the guy with 15 years of ex

the systems are pretty public, for instance the UK tender for Atlantic Net is easy to read. And the russians have Bastion which we known well about as well.

That sentence is because in engineering journals you often need to state some problem you are solving. Proving the problem exists isn't necessary, just enough to convince the editor. Most academics don't care if someone uses the t

This is not true at all. Corporate loan rates are generally pretty damn high, only exceptionally can they borrow for low rates. Mortages however are a special case since they are basically mandated to be low and safe by most governments in
