Deep learning combines linear functions together, but the way in which they are combined is always nonlinear. If the way in which they were combined were linear, the resulting func…

Have you tried out the ChucK language? I haven't tried Extempore yet, but it looks like the way they handle timing could be similar. ChucK has a very elegant system for synchronizi…

I think it is because many labs in CS departments do very little research involving human subjects (e.g. a machine learning lab or a theory lab), so within those labs there isn't r…

It's very sad Rosenblatt did not live to see the resurgence of neural networks and his perceptron algorithm. The perceptron algorithm isn't exactly what we use to train neural netw…

In the United States a photograph of a public domain 2D image is still also public domain if the photograph is considered a faithful reproduction of the public domain 2D image: htt…

This sort of research is maybe less flashy than say using machine learning to automatically generate game assets from photos, but I think this sort of computer-aided game design is…

I'm guessing information isn't put in the email because of federal privacy laws around education (FERPA). Email isn't considered a secure communication protocol since it isn't encr…

Dip pens are used quite a bit for artwork still. Until very recently (last 10 years or so), dip pens were very much the standard for inking certain types of art, manga especially. …

Not sure about tattoo artists, but Disney has been known to pursue cake decorators / bakeries that uses their IP without a license.

Completely speculation, but I wonder if it's using the same mechanism explored in the famous upside down goggles experiment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_down_goggles Gizmo…

I've found Resolve to be more productive than other video editing programs I've used, primarily because the core operations of navigating through video and cutting clips just feel …

Something I see frequently missing from the discussion on roguelikes is the long history of Japanese console roguelikes like the Mystery Dungeon series dating back to 1993. These g…

To add another item to the list of legal, legitimate uses of YouTube-dl: lots of public domain content is uploaded to YouTube, including a lot of media produced by the US governmen…

Very cool app--wanted to leave you some feedback after my first test render finished. Loved the visuals. I can tell that your analysis separates out harmony and percussion as adver…

It could be because of my browser settings / extensions, but I couldn't find any information about the games you can play on the site. It looks like you have to have a paid account…

One of the colors that seems to have been lost over the past 20 years or so is Quinacridone Gold, denoted by pigment number PO 49. The pigment is part of the family of quinacridone…

I'm completely out of my area of expertise here (I can mostly follow the press release but I can't understand that much of the actual paper outside of the introduction), but your c…

From my understanding of the article, they aren't necessarily the same but could be related: Another more speculative possibility is that cosmic strings could come from the tiny vi…

An interesting aspect to this story is that although there's no real evidence that a Facebook employee was involved, it still seems like a believable explanation to many readers in…

The history behind the term is pretty interesting to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_programming#History The original research on the subject was published in engineering…

What goes on at the orientation? I'm guessing from your screen name you have some first hand experience. This blog post is my first time hearing about the Recurse Center so I don't…

Not sure how all the services work, but I believe the drivers are given delivery job offers where they see information about the delivery location and payout estimate, and they're …

Thank you for the reference! Your explanation makes sense to me. I'm curious if students that struggle with learning decimal expansions and limits are just subconsciously rejecting…

I wonder if this is related to "intuitionist" math. This is an alternative formulation of math which doesn't have the law of excluded middle, recently discussed on Hacker News rela…

"Online learning" is actually a pretty established term in theoretical computer science and specifically learning theory. I don't think that it's meant to be misleading at all but …
