    I wonder if only using non-overlapped triangles would reduce accuracy. Otherwise, it should limit the number of triangles.

    plus, I might add, you can create secure software, that can't be penetrated from outside, but what about the hardware? Unless you write this (software) too, how can you trust the u…

    do you think these questions are addressed by open-source software? I mean, if you only have a few buttons in front of you, how can you verify/audit the software it's running?

    to protect voting, audit your software/system extensively. Openssh is open-source and we all know the story..

    similarly, on a larger scale, one could ask whether deep learning is unethical for automating millions of jobs (if not yet, certainly in the future).

    posts involving vectorization are always nice, especially if it involves compression. I'd love to see a vectorized version of arithmetic coding, that would definitely be interestin…

    I wonder how of those fit in a zedboard. (not going to ask how many hours of tool fighting that would require though).

    So, Kim Jong-un has a memory leak problem, but that's probably good for the rest of us..

    If they are shutting down, why not make (and share) an archive of the whole site, to preserve the works that's been done? Sharing through bittorrent is free and decentralized. They…

    not sure why anyone would spend double money when you can get about the same performance using a gtx 1080 TI. The performance looks marginal IMO -- optimizing the code on gtx 1080 …

    Not only is it duplicate, it also contains nasty "behavior". If prev->next equals NULL then dereferencing this would result in segfault, so in this case another if statement is req…

    Is Nvidia cheating?

    Hello, I was browsing the new NVIDIA gpus while checking the old ones, and found gtx 970 has 6Gbps "memory speed" on the 1070 comparison page ( http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10se…
