Precisely how I feel. Also, what's the deal with the ports? At the moment it seems that you have to carry a dongle/adapter for every single Apple device, that's crazy. After eight …

Although that might change real soon. There are a number of ongoing works that attempt at using CNNs to estimate both geometry and movement.

Regardless the impact machine learning techniques are having on the field, I still think is valuable to know and understand what are the classic methods that they are allegedly rep…

Agreed. I think that's the key, you learn by first grasping a basic understanding of a concept and then reinforcing it through application repetition. But the initial understanding…

You might want to add the ICL-NUIM dataset for SLAM/Visual Odometers: https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ahanda/VaFRIC/iclnuim.html

I've got both a Nespresso and a simple manual Gaggia at home. The Nespresso is just accumulating dust. No matter what capsules you buy it doesn't get any closer to the taste of jus…

Not sure if it's just melancholia, but I do think rdio is still totally unbeaten in terms of personalised playlists. It was absolutely amazing! Also, the audio quality seemed far s…

Yep, possibly. This approach has been successfully exploited in real-time SLAM for instance [1][2][3] [1] http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-33786-4... [2] http:/…

> Although, in my experience of using vim, the mental effort of working out what character I needed for t/f tended to be far more disruptive than just using arrow keys/mouse. I thi…

If you are referring to Morton's interleaving, then it's quite simple. You can compute the third operand's code and OR it with the others using the appropriate shift. Something lik…

Don't quite agree, most recent works produce 3D models of very decent quality. Have a look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySrhZpODYs for example, but there are others bas…

In the UK it is used in several schools to introduce children to programming. Notable project: https://www.codeforlife.education/rapidrouter/ (developed by Ocado) and here's the gi…

I'm sorry, I don't really have a source. My observation is based on the fact that during PhD/PostDoc years you have more time to spend on actual research. As you climb the academic…

I quite agree that the post PhD job market is kind of challenging as there are few companies tackling big questions. However, if you forget the job market, the argument the guy is …

Great guide, thanks for sharing. Although that B and E remapping.. man, it hurts!

Yes I do agree with you. ACL is just an example of as the devotion of one or two persons can bring unexpectedly successful results. Achieving the same in bigger organisation is a m…

Totally agree. Just wanted to stress how the grant funding systems is totally nonsensical. While as a PhD you could get funding for your entire 3/4 year program (at least here in t…

J Strother Moore would disagree with you, the development of ACL [1] is going on from 40 years! [1] http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/acl2-doc.html

This looks actually pretty cool and something I might want to use. Is there any way to load .ply/.vtk with the voxel structure description?

I can't think of anything more standard than /usr/local/.

Great article although I think maybe the title could be a bit misleading. The way I see it, boredom is not a state in which you want to be, but rather the initial condition that tr…
