Yes, it does use a reasonable chunk of memory (I wouldn't run in with less than 3GB available)

However, speed wise, its only slow in my experience, if you try to integrate via a shell script - if you run it as a service and make http calls it's been amazingly fast in my usage.

I believe they include a "service" mode as part of the package now, but for a project a little while ago I forked & extended a project that provides a JSON/XML http service: https://github.com/Koalephant/StanfordCoreNLPHTTPServer

I think this is poor marketing; if you're familiar with Go, saying "written in Go", is shorthand for "low memory requirements, decent performance, no runtime dependencies / single binary deployment, straightforward compilation from source, easy to contribute to". But to everyone else it sounds like writing in Go is an end unto itself.

Politicial solutions didn't work in the 1970s (Church Committee), the 1990s (Crypto Wars 1), or more recently. Hopefully it's just bad luck, because I think the best solution is for technical people to work on technical solutions while political people work on political solutions, and we can meet in the middle.

Unlike in politics, we've had success with technical solutions: strong E2E encrypted messaging is now normal, TLS is getting massive deployment, we have better crypto in general from key agreement to ciphers to libraries, and so much more.

To compare, what political solutions have equally improved the landscape? What's the political equivalent of getting Curve25519 into the hands of billions of users? What's the political equivalent of Signal Protocol going mainstream?

I've seen this same basic comment a lot in technical circles, and they ~all seem to subtly discredit technical solutions.

It makes me wonder: do people in political groups say, "let's stop with the political solutions and instead learn programming and cryptography and make technical solutions!" I sure hope not.
That makes perfect sense, thank you.
Thank you for the feedback, these kind of questions do help to zoom in on the correct message.

Agreed, my sub fee doesn't pay for the NYT's existence. And worse, I block ads. I'm sure I wouldn't pay the actual fee required to support their current operations.

I think, or at least hope, that we're in a transition period for large operations that are currently ad supported. If ads didn't suck up so much of my resources, and were benign and didn't track me, then I'd relent. But as it is, ads don't just buy space, they buy people and any information the ad networks can get away from collecting, gleaning or stealing. "Homey don't play dat."

He had thousands of twitter followers before he started. It looks like quick success - but he's worked really fucking hard, for a long time before. He spent a year on one project before starting the 12 startsups/projects in 12 months.

Are you following yourself, or just another method someone stumbled upon? :)

That makes no sense to me. If one variable is a function of another then by definition it is not an independent variable.

And I don't see why the dot notation should be any more confusing than any of the other myriad arbitrary squiggles, spatial relationships, fontifications, and punctualizations which are assigned semantic meaning in mathematics. The whole enterprise is a freakin' mess (referring to the notation, not mathematics in general).

Your question is imprecise in that money conversion experiences will vary greatly depending on where in the world you are. Some will be reliable and trustworthy, and others could be very risky (to you).

As GFK mentioned, an ATM is the way to go if it's an option. Then at least it's just your bank potentially screwing you. And if you are converting western money to cheap third world money, you probably don't care about losing 10% instead of 3%.

My recommendation: if there's no obvious ATM option, go to the best looking money exchange office you can find. Then transfer enough to get you through a day or two. And during that day or two, do whatever (internet) research you can to find out the best local options.

How did Crypto Wars 1 not have a political solution? Export controls were dropped, the Clipper chip was canned. It was mostly due to the political arguments being made at the time, not some unstoppable technological breakthrough.
Having struggled/getting amazed by a 3D printer we bought for our lab (price ~1000 eur) during the last semester, my strong advice to anyone is to buy something with a good community behind.

Sure on paper some of these can be cheaper and have better specs, but unless you know a lot about 3D printing (and after 2 intensive months with some prints per day I felt I was just scratching the surface) you will not be able to get these great results you get in the pictures or even the ones you imagine you will get.

It's extremely time/energy consuming to get the slicer (the slicer is the software that actually transforms a 3D model in 3D printing instructions for a specific printer) right both for the printer and for the filament used and there are just too many variables involved.

After all this time, it seemed quite obvious for me that buying something like the Prusa i3 (or something with a good community behind) would be a much better choice. You greatly minimize these issues with the slicer since there is a big community behind you testing the right settings for that printer/filament combination and it saves you a lot of time and mental energy.

P.S. Perhaps you get that from my text, but just to make it clear: many vendors have a pretty bad support and they only publish mediocre support for slicing software.

HoloLens is being pushed with much of the same rigged demos. As a review from a few days ago mentioned-

"Maybe Microsoft is saving all the wow factor for its keynotes, but my demo was a less refined and less capable version of what we've seen in on-stage demos. My experience, while impressive, felt like child's play AR compared to what's been in Microsoft's keynotes."

Microsoft unveiled it well over a year ago, and still when people can actually try the device the demos are a fraction of the myth presented in their keynote. And of course these things always rely upon the development of technology, but we often get 80% and think the last 20% is the easy part when really it's the extraordinarily difficult barrier between realistically credible and a toy.

The projection technology (the field refraction grid) is very interesting, and the environment mapping is fantastic, but the resolution of the device makes the demos farce out of the gate -- the total overlay resolution is 1268x720 max (in most realistic scenes much less), so when you see someone demo something like a web browser in their AR display, if you ever see the demo it's just entirely unusable (far too low of a resolution) unless you move directly in front of the projection occupying the majority of your FOV, at which point what is the point.

The technology will improve, obviously, but right now it definitely falls in the category of gimmick to me, with several generations before it's remotely as usable as being pitched.

You usually can't tell from one single sentence if a parser handles garden path sentences, which involve backtracking (hence the name).

Plus, there is a part-of-speech tagger that provides an intermediate layer of nlp analysis, which makes a backtracking involving a change of part-of-speech («houses» being either a verb of a noun) quite harder (yet not impossible).

POS taggers improve parsers performance dramatically but usually are an indication that the parser have limited backtracking capabilities.

You can try it with «the complex houses married soldiers», houses is erroneously marked as a noun.
SQL indexes are hard to get right and performance is often poor even when you did.

On the other hand, for fulltext systems like Solr, indexes are trivial to set up and performance is usually impressive, even if you never use any fulltext features!

For many many uses, SQL is a poor fit, you're much better to stick to NoSQL or full text searches.

Indeed, I'm disputing it. If you put an adult under the same conditions as a child (immersed; nothing else to do apart from learning the language; everyone falls over themselves to explain things to you), I bet almost anyone would learn faster than the child.

StackGAN: Text to Photo-Realistic Image Synthesis
One way of looking at it: The programmer above isn't looking for an artist who needs tools and offering to team up to build them. Nor is the programmer looking to team up with someone with an idea for a game and to make it a reality.

Another way of looking at it: The benefits of experience that accrue to the artist from working on a game are the same as the benefits of working on their art in any other context including a paying context. Reusability of software is a proxy for time and time (in the form of less effort on future work) is what programmers tend to get from free software...a function that takes two days to develop can reduce that two days to twenty minutes five times a year for five years. And it comes in the form of an artifact rather than a process.

That's not quite true. The third law (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) places hard constraints on what forces are possible. For example, if there is an apple resting on the table in front of me I can observe that it is not accelerating despite being in a gravitational field. I can deduce therefore that something must be exerting an upward force to counter the force of gravity, and that it's probably the table.

Of course, Newton doesn't let me prove it's the table. It could be, for example, an apple-suspending demon which only acts in the presence of tables (and other solid objects). Newton does not allow me to eliminate that possibility (but Occam does).

Happy to answer any questions I didn't get to in the talk as well!
No, it is not. I can not exactly pin down where the mistake in the linked paper is after looking at it for five minutes but I am pretty sure it is related to his choice of r(t) in equation 4 as a piecewise polynomial so that a t = T there is a discontinuity in the 4th derivative which is non-physical, i.e. without a force tangential to the dome at the apex the object would never move away from the apex of the dome. If you only look at lower order derivatives like velocity and acceleration, then there is no discontinuity and everything seem superficially fine.
> doesn't even attempt to describe most forces

Well, in a way it does, as long as these forces are "conservative", which includes gravitational field that you mentioned as well as (static) electric field.

On the other hand, you are correct, it is not a goal of classical mechanics as a mathematical theory to describe any specific physical force in particular. In that sense it can be seen as "incomplete" - as a physical theory. But classical mechanics as a (modern) physical theory is not only "incomplete", it is also plain "wrong"! (But that is a topic for another time, perhaps.)
