Love the serendipity moral; loved surviving the vicissitudes. The story reads well. There's a lacuna between Codentical and Parallel X : 1. people willing to pay for it; 2. a spark…

(not parent) Yes, since highend GPUs have 1,000's of cores, it makes sense (though I wouldn't expect one GPU core to be faster than one CPU core.) Please, could you quote the CPU a…

Search engines have zero switching costs, so mainstream PR is a key competitive advantage for Google (not engineer PR). Their massive capital investment in server farms (esp. for g…

Please cite examples of technologies that kids embraced and did not become successful.

Looks small enough http://www.primesense.com/solutions/3d-sensor/ (see "embedded" photo at bottom). Apple can probably help miniaturize it further; also process shrinks. New input …

Weirdly, I'm getting about double the framerate on the second, more complex demo (with volumetric light beams).

1. reasoning from first principles is a really cool, powerful and awfully difficult. Most importantly, it forces you to consider what the question actually is (see Douglas Adams). …

Not sure if this salacious writeup, image and title are really helping them, but publicity is publicity I guess. At least the site doesn't present itself as a hook-up/prostitution …

I don't think there are any laptops comparable to the Acer C720 performance (Haswell) at a comparable price. It benchmarks at about half a 2013 Macbook Air (also Haswell). That sai…

Your edit is much clearer than "you know it when you see it" (Justice Stewart), which pretty much represents giving up on any formal definition. I like your suggestion of detecting…

I'm not clear which two "groups" you mean, or that they'd divide. There is a class divide for human "breeding", with expressions like "marrying below" etc. But more importantly, pe…

It clutters the code. Tests are a form of documentation, but too much in the code, like too many comments, obscures. Higher level unit tests (acceptance tests) can be quite long, e…

They don't seem to account for non-socioeconomic factors like genetics and nurturing. I'm not saying aristocrats are a master race, just that if your ancestors won competitions, yo…

True. I think this is what's bugging me: drawing a lit version implies information about 3D shape; in particular, the artist has to reason/see in 3D. So, in a sense, it is a new me…
