It's quite funny I made a very similar lament a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16230668 I only post when I think I can somehow add value to the discussion, at least value for some people who might read…
I confess I haven't read the whole thing but that figure 4 looks more like a set of approaches, rather than a continuum as in the periodic table. Their figure 1, which appears to describe fundamental design tradeoffs,…
Regarding specifically the creation of 3D models for usage in games, this is particularly relevant: Avatar Digitization From a Single Image For Real-Time Rendering…
It's a theme I like to read about (I mean "practical issues around ML in production settings"). I find company blogs and some research publications are great resources. Examples: - https://eng.uber.com/ -…
When I saw what you were doing I thought "oh so you point your phone at the sky and it shows commercial planes around you as dots over the horizon" (or something). Then I saw the living room visualization and I realized…
I just tried this and Alt-l seems to move to the line above (equiv. to Esc+l), Alt-J the line below, and in gvim it produces some accented characters for me. It would have been a good combination for finger movement…
I too hated the need to press <Esc> all the time when I started with vi. It sounded as bad for wrists as the Ctrl key for Emacs. The trick I've found (I don't remember where) and used ever since is to map the "kj"…
I'm glad that odd recollection can find a use :) In my case it's just discomfort but I'm curious as to why constraints around the waist don't get discussed more in articles about posture. For me it's one of those things…
You jest but I tend to think it'd be much better for posture and breathing if pants with more flexibility and wiggle room were in fashion for men. E.g. sweatpants. I had a teacher at uni who wore those and I thought he…
I have a very similar experience with sit-stand setups. I have one at home and had one at work. I stand up for routine tasks (email etc.) and sit down for deeper work. I find standing unconsciously restricts breathing…
You're right about that. It might be that I suffer from a "person B" problem :) However I still think that the "short-lived" nature of discussions here is a relatively independent problem. I think integrating a way to…
I don't often comment on HN and this (the short-timed nature of discussions) is one of the main reasons. The other main reason is that I have a high threshold for considering my participation is worthy of other people's…
That's what I don't get. Publishers have all the incentive to get behind a solution like this, but somehow I never see a "send a tip" or Flattr button anywhere (maybe I'm not looking?). I just wish a bunch of well-known…
Concerning the contribution of startups, I don't have much hard numbers, but my comment was motivated by this article I recalled reading: http://affaires.lapresse.ca/economie/201611/10/01-5039742-le... which states that…
Well to me it does seem, at least, as though the recent surge in public and private AI investments (Microsoft, Google, now Facebook) would have a positive local impact for AI researchers here. I mean with enough…
That article is pretty light on details. I wonder if he pointed towards a specific form of unsupervised learning. Anyway it's pretty funny in light of an intro I remembered from one of his old papers: "It would be truly…
I built something very similar too. My setup is to have two screens, one for standing, one for sitting (and two set of input devices). I close one screen when I'm using the other and I mirror the image on both screens.…
There certainly is, I coded one myself, but I never made any effort to publicize it. http://www.fsavard.com/flow/2012/12/diff-revision/ Basically you take notes like you normally would and the "diffs" of your notes…
Or some clearly visible icon at the end of the URL bar saying "2832 more characters ->".
That's interesting. Are you aware of other teams using video chat like this, ie. all day long? Do you know what the Google monthly fees are? Is the bandwidth consumed a concern?
There was an episode of the american version of the "modern Sherlock Holmes" TV series, "Elementary", where the plot revolved around a company akin to Uber (called Zooss in the show). It was particularly illustrative of…
Some time ago I saw this similar project posted on HN: http://lapface.com/ Here's the thread I saw: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9764241
Reminds me of this (not yet released?) concept, the GEAK ring: http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/17/geak-ring-nfc-finger/ The "unlock your smartphone" use case is underlined here, too. Manufacturer's site (Chinese, can't…
I feel similar about the omnipresent blog format: why should everything be final once posted, and everything have to be temporally organized? Old-fashioned "websites" felt better when you don't update often, and you…
If you want your wiki to be public, or accessible from multiple computers, MediaWiki (along with dozens of other web-based wikis) is a good alternative, sure. I like WikidPad because it's _fast_ in Edit mode (on-the-fly…
