The source of the sound is at 47°9′S 126°43′W.
Meh, it has a lot of fallacies and pitfalls.
Exciting project! Looks like it could lead to some real advances in human-computer interaction. Large working area(desk, walls or the whole floor) and automatically tracking and digitizing written notes and diagrams…
Agreed. Moore's law doesn't happen on its own and Intel has been leading the way in fabrication technology. As for ARM, I think their success has more to do with their business model (licensing instead of fabricating)…
I wonder if Moore's law was the real reason why all the RISC vendors failed while Intel succeeded. Lets say IBM sells server hardware for 60K USD per machine versus Intel's 20k (I made the numbers up) and shows, through…
That's why even the good old 8 bits per channel images are encoded logarithmically. Enter the gamma curve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_correction
You are correct. Luminance is a real number not integer so the more bits the better (unless you go all they way down to photons!). So, more bits allow us to increase the dynamic range and also allow more values in that…
And how do you quantify "style, craft and personality" ? I ask about quantification because I see it as the only way to reduce/eliminate bias.
Let me dial the paranoia up a little by calling your attention to this historic text: http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thomps... A quote from the conclusions: "In demonstrating the possibility of…
Imagine: your presentations stored in plain text, in a human readable format that you can edit in your favorite editor, manipulate with a rich library of text editing tools and even version control. Powerpoint would be…
I personally prefer to develop by writing small functions and pairing them with a small test. Hacking in a REPL environment, saving the result and calling it source code has not worked out well for me, I end up…
I used to get those as well as a kid. The technique, nightmare-within-nightmare was a trope of 80s horror movies and that's where we got it (incepted?) I believe :) On the movie, I think the really interesting part was…
So place your programs in a directory structure that makes sense and use symlinks to maintain compatibility. Simple and elegant. But... how do I go about actually installing those programs? Web search and then git-clone…
"The speed of light limit had been reached. Signals could not propagate across the surface of the chip fast enough to allow higher speeds." Sorry, this is blatantly wrong. The 'wires are too long' problem was solved a…
Fun trivia: Stan Ulam was on sick-leave and was playing solitaire. He came up with the Monte Carlo method while trying to calculate the probability of a successful solitaire game. The method was named after his uncle's…
In my field (computer graphics) most conferences have put clauses allowing authors to host the submitted version of the paper in their websites. Far from ideal, but some compromises from the part of the publishers have…
Worth noting: Many authors will be happy to email you a copy of their paper. People understand that not everyone's library can pay the hundreds of thousands needed for subscription fees. Research Gate has this…
Explaining something is compressing information and then transmitting it. As we know, there are limits to how much we can losslessly compress information. So, no, you cannot explain everything in simple terms. But you…
Bad analogy time: Its like flying. You don't have control but your are better off without it (unless you are a pilot of course).
Thankfully we still have journals and conference papers. Look for the ones with high impact factor and go from there. That's what I did when I was looking into creatine supplementation. You can't even ask experts for…
