Well as a saner part of the population You should know that the alternative would put the majority in a state of feeling betrayed or not well represented. So Democracy does at least one thing right, it keeps the majority happy(ish) and with a feeling of participation.
well, in OCR one of the first steps is to identify the objects that are characters in the image (calculate bounding boxes for each char) so the process can be even simplified, you don't need to run the algo on every frame you just do boundary recognition on some continuous frames, gathering character edge data for the - slightly offset per frame - chars and at the end you evaluate just the edge data.
Not only this, You positively can keep the calculated data from one frame and do a differential calculation on the next/prev frame to gain even more data about your objects.
The only captchas that are truly difficult for machines to crack are the ones that require logic deduction: like "type the last word of this sentence."
But is that the point after all? Democracy is a bit more than just a proposition of finding the best suitable candidate. It is a statement of individual freedom and potential open mindedness. One thing that democratic elections guarantee is that the result (if not corrupted - totally another discussion) will be the candidate the majority of voters "deserves". Now if the candidate people deserve is actually the best one or if it is in their best interest to get the candidate they desreve is a really bood question.
The whole thing is function of freedoms and performance. You could try to implement a weighted electoral system but it isn't clear if that will help steer towards better solutions or just empower elitism and the like.
Well, true that might be, democratic elections are the only way to get the representative you deserve. It might not be the best one but that doesn't seem to be the matter anymore anyway.
Thinking too much about this bring images from the movie idiocracy to mind...
At least for high production volume items (so not one-of Versache dresses) it is completely plausible the manufacturers supplying 3d models as well as imagery for their products. After all almost everything is computer designed at the time.
Judging from my limited experience with 3dsmax and real diffuse material pipelines I would suggest that state of the art RT algos won't come into the real time scene for ohh at least two decades. That is for real implementations. AFAIK You still can `hack` reflection and refraction behaviors to kind of simulate true diffuse refractions.
I can remember blowing render jobs' render times into thousandfolds with misuse of diffuse reflections.
Dead man's switches aren't supposed to work that way, they are a play on mutual destruction and sort of a life insurance (ie: if I die I guarantee to take others with me)
IIRC there actually is a psychological, medically acknowledged, syndrome that has to do with giving up on prosperous concepts/enterprises. In layman's terms it describes optimism in a more elaborate language, though it also describes gambler's addiction at some point.
Can't remember where I have read about it though..
I'm very disappointed by the Irish on this. At work we were readying a big investment into Amazon's Europe location that now won't happen.. It just is too big a risk now.
You cannot silence a person or movement by just DDoSing his official site. Everybody has alternative distribution routes. If Anon would really want to play dirty they wouldn't `deface` websites they hacked, they would introduce subtle, hard to identify changes that would work in a destructive manner to the hacked site once consumed by visitors.
That RIAA guy is deploying classical diplomat tactics here: "deny that the voting was correctly educated on the topic until you can spin facts in your favor"
Journalists and bloggers alike need to keep the consuming public alert of the fact that diplomats always speak on personal agenda, otherwise the future of free speech is bleak at best.
Bigdata work is much more closer to academic research than it is to casual software development work. As is ML and the such.

The who article is stating the obvious: There are less specialists at the bleeding edge of research. Which is true in and of itself and is made worse by the fact that this research is done by huge proprietary enterprises.

I'm really sick of all this "layout copying" accusations. In design you will do things the way they fit your needs best. In digital, making carbon copies of UIs is the easiest thing in the book. Creating similar UIs on the other hand is either a: functional design or b:targeted design. Both of these are OK; completely fine!
Get over it. Yes somebody did it first! Well done! Just remember that as long as others want and can, they will follow, either through their own evolution or through mimesis.
How do you think mammals formed in the first place? Natural mutation brought them and the adoption of their characteristics. The first proto human isn't around any more; his offspring is.
I'm not a geneticist but my understanding is that GE is just targeting some property of the crop and enhancing it. On some crops they go for climatic durability, on others they go for high production etc.
Practically it is the same thing farmers have been doing for ages by breeding the best livestock together and focusing on taking seeds from the well producing plants. Just now it is done in labs with enzymes and stuff. I don't know what the reasons are China thinks about restricting these crops but I don't think there could be serious side effects from the mass use of correctly produced GE/GM crops.
Ohh boy... for all the good things the "laptop studio" has brought it sure has introduced a huge amount of idiots to the music production scene.
I can remember the days when introducing a compressor to an audiostream meant you needed to get filthy with cable dust and read a few manuals. Now you just torrent it from tpb. More worryingly that memory doesn't go that far back...
Maybe art and convenience don't mix that well after all.
I, inadvertently, experienced this "job security" once. It wasn't an experience I want to relive. It's much better to earn job security by being an outstanding contributor rather than by being the keeper of keys.

What's the difference?
You obviously are oblivious to the impact of ignorance in order to be proud of it.
Just tell them "yes" and let the be in their bliss; at least that much is true about ignorance.
Well as a saner part of the population You should know that the alternative would put the majority
in a state of feeling betrayed or not well represented. So Democracy does at least one thing right,
it keeps the majority happy(ish) and with a feeling of participation.
That is what I mean. You plural.

Yes, but it is cool now to be lazy and illiterate. Look at all those rappers.
Well, true that might be, democratic elections are the only way to get the representative you deserve. It might not be the
best one but that doesn't seem to be the matter anymore anyway.

1) What's it for? (frequencies, services, etc.) This would actually interest me.
It is part of an elaborate conspiracy to take over the world by flooding it with really bad live action porn.
True. But I can think of 65.8 million reasons why Microsoft wouldn't
want them running a directX capable OS...

Weren't the Voodoo 3 cards 3D accel only? How did you manage to push frame buffers through them?

I hardly doubt that.

As an afterthought, maybe they should do that?
