GitHub on BigQuery: Analyze all the open source code
One reason why user-generated 3D content in general looks bad is that for a long time, "professional" content typically has lighting applied to surfaces as a texture, and that texture is expensive to compute and requires complicated software. User-generated models on the other hand (like one might find in Second Life) don't look that great in comparison because the lighting is simplistic and none of the models have pre-baked lighting textures.

As real-time global illumination becomes faster and better, I think we could get to a place where user-generated content looks pretty good by default, because it's always being re-calculated. I haven't really kept up with what the latest games are doing these days, so I don't know what the state of the art is, but there have been some pretty cool demos of real-time path-tracing. It may be awhile before that sort of thing is fast enough to meet the latency and resolution requirements of VR without being grainy, but I think we'll get there eventually.

There's way more to VR than the fact that presentation is stereoscopic. Writing off VR on the basis that 3D has been over-hyped before is like writing off the Macintosh for not being the first device capable of raster presentation.

Personally, I think Tesla and Musk should shut up. This bantering back at the media might have been “new” and “cool” with other topics, but not when it involves somebody’s death. While it’s fine to respond to inaccurate facts, the catchy headlines (“Misfortune”, “A Tragic Loss”) and the condescending and confrontational tone is totally out of place. Stick to the facts. Talk about how you take this very seriously, are going to look more into it, but do believe the autopilot is safe.

After a decade in the military, where bad things happen frequently, I couldn’t imagine public relations acting in this manner: "We bombed the wrong house, but this happens, it's war, the media just doesn't understand". Don’t give people the impression you care more about your business than their lives. Don’t dismiss someone’s death as a statistic.

I want Tesla to succeed, but they are starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth. I remember my XO saying, “never get into a shouting match with an idiot, bystanders can’t tell the difference.” Ignore the media if you can’t respond appropriately. The real misfortune here is that somebody died in what was probably a preventable accident, not a poorly sourced Fortune article.

Nope. The Rift is definitely more comfortable for most people and looks more like a finished product, but that's about all the good I can say about it. I used a Rift demo station about a week before my Vive arrived and it immediately made me happy about my choices. Roomscale is huge and while Oculus technically can be used that way the official support is still largely based around forward facing.

VR definitely hits games and porn pretty naturally, right now. Games like Hover Junkers are an example of great early execution in this medium.

I think VR movies are a still a bit off, though I could be totally wrong. The reason I say that is because some of the fundamental theories used in making a movie are different in VR. Namely, you can't be certain you know where the "camera" is. :) Also, VR movies require a lot of new and developing camera hardware and editing software to come along. There are some cool things out now but my understanding is it is all very new and developing. Ultimately, I still buy in on VR movies, though. I am a believer in VR movies mainly because of my own experience watching short films in VR was super cool but also from watching videos of people curled up in the fetal position as they were being shown some scary movie in VR. It's visceral in a way that has not been achievable up until now.

I also think AR well be a widely adopted medium and there might become a pretty gray distinction after a while. I could imagine headsets or glasses that you can increase or decrease how much external light comes through. I can see doing things like checking email, facebook, etc. being done in AR but still allowing you to go about your normal routine like making coffee and breakfast or walking the dog. Seems far more compelling than looking at notifications on my watch.

Eventually, I also suspect that we will be "mainlining" these experiences and not be wearing headsets at all. Implanting some device that directly stimulates the necessary parts of the brain (or other parts of the body needed).

A Lambda / "serverless" approach makes a ton of sense for CI system just on the premise alone. Why have x number of build slaves sitting doing nothing 95% of the time? The ideal build system would paralellize on-demand to as many workers as possible within a few seconds of a build triggering (I don't want a build slave, I want 50), and then immediately terminate them, which is pretty much the whole point of Lambda.

Jenkins is a huge pain the behind, fragile, the machines always inevitably turns into special snowflakes, configs in git are poorly supported. It's also very expensive in any non-trivial setting and requires full-time babysitters. Cloud CIs still charge quite a lot for any meaningful parallel builds, and there's the security aspect of uploading your code to third-parties, I trust my S3 bucket permissions more than a random CI SaaS. This seems like a great start for a sweet spot between on-prem and SaaS CI.

>> Good HR means three things: a clear management structure, a way for people to talk about workplace issues and concerns, and pathways for people to evolve in their careers.

I've seen a number of startups who think the only part of HR where they need to invest resources is recruiting, right up to the point where the wheels start coming off. Once you're feeling the pain points - disgruntled employees, people leaving, communication problems, etc... - it takes a lot more time to get things working again.

It's hard because these issues aren't the things recruiters are good at solving, so they need more specialized knowledge, but at 20-50 people don't have the capacity to bring on the right expertise.
I've heard that but I really suspect that is just some story put out largely for PR sake. The resolution is something around 720p per eye. But that essentially means 720p total, right? Because the "per eye" part basically means that it is stereoscopic 720p.

The one scenario I imagined working at that resolution that would really be helpful is if you were actually working on the the code in your current view? Then updating and reloading wouldn't require you to take the headset on and off.

But stories of the engineers not using regular monitors anymore seems a bit far fetched.

It doesn't seem to be everywhere though. I know in the US, research is often collaborative and a single grant may fund many researchers. Those researchers do not seem to be competing internally for funding (though, I have seen conflict as to whose name should appear first on a publication!). I presume the same is likely true in Australia. Why is some research able to be collaborative while other must (apparently) be competitive?

One interesting case of using "lawfare" to compensate for less-sophisticated military technology is the designation of the Kuznetsov-class carriers as "missile boats with aircraft capability." Under the terms of the Montreux Convention, carriers are not allowed to transit the Straits(1), so this bit of definitional legerdemain gives the Russians the ability to move carriers in and out of the Black Sea, which is denied to the US.

(1) It's a bit more complex than that, having to do with tonnage limits and the exclusion of carriers from the definition of a "capitol ship," but the effect is essentially the same.

I completely agree that explicit memory management (I wouldn't call it manual) in the C++/Rust way is a cognitive overhead you don't want for a great deal of the software work - perhaps most of it.

But there are definitely projects that require explicit memory management, and it's not just games and realtime software. Often high-performance backend code in Java and Go just end up using object pools instead of reallocating objects, just as the OP described.

With Go specifically we've seen the rise of fasthttp, which just adds completely manual memory management in the 90's C++ fashion. Want to create a new request object?

req := AcquireRequest()
req.DoSomething()
ReleaseRequest(req)

Compare to C++98:

Request* req = new Request();
req->DoSomething();
delete req;

And now you're back at the same manual memory management problem modern C++ and Rust are striving to solve.
We've had compilers being written in their own language for half a century, but it hasn't changed the fast that most (and all the succesful ones with millions of users) are written in C/C++.

The author means well be its clear he's part of a business culture that has ignored minimum wage laws for so long he no longer believes they even apply to internships. You can see this very clearly in his phrase: "While some nonprofits may be unable to pay their interns — even though they depend on their contributions of energy and know-ho". If an organization "depends on their contributions" then the intern must be paid at least minimum wage, there is no intern exception unless it is literally work that is useless to the organization - akin to a school project.

While enforcing these laws won't improve access, it will make it possible for the less affluent to be able to take these internships. Better enforcement is something the department of labor could do now, it has the law and the authority to do so already.
I've yet to work in a company that began developing its primary Python codebase after 3 matured. Nor any company that had the engineering bandwidth to prioritize upgrading a working Python 2 codebase to 3 over work that directly impacted customers or business.

If I start a new codebase for a toy or throwaway project that doesn't have to be importable into one of those codebases, I'll start it in Python 3. If I remember to use it when creating the virtualenv. After all, with the primary project in Python 2, 2 is still my system default.

It is indeed sad, I know many non-techy people that are not happy about it, but they feel that nothing can be done so they don't bother, even to try and prevent the spread of their personal information to third, fourth etc parties. It seems people don't want to learn anything from their history lessons, everyone just thinks that oppressive regimes are the past and can not be the future and thats understandable - humanity is generally optimistic as well as suffer from end-of-history illusion, but that doesn't mean it can't show its ugly side once in a while.

Interesting project. No mention of what can be used as the backhaul, though.

These are two different things.

Facebook TIP == A base station that provides LTE connectivity to handsets.

So with Facebook device, you'll be able to set up your own LTE network and be a mobile operator whereas BRCK has no such capability.

They've removed the part about ensembles and replaced it with a call for more "human understandable models." This at least addresses the premise of the article, though I'm not completely sold on it as a solution.

> The problem here is knowing how well the model will work with radically (or even somewhat) different data than it was trained on. This is not the same as doing CV or hold out.

This isn't a problem with validation techniques, but rather a problem with the data supplied to the algorithms. The established solution here is to make sure your test data actually resembles the data you intend the algorithms to work on.

Regarding the new suggestion of using models that are easy for humans to understand, I suppose my question would be "how do you know that a model that a human feels good about actually generalizes any better?" In my experience things that seem to be right by intuition are often wrong. This is one of the advantages of machine learning approaches over rules based systems, the machine can learn things a human wouldn't think of. The other big advantage is being able to scale easily, perhaps harder if you are expecting a human to manually inspect every model.

I'm definitely on board with their suggestion to continually monitor performance. There are some validation techniques that can help with that such as incremental validation.
