    The "problem" here is that when you disable all the bad aspects of the current web for someone, they quickly forget or never realize what "it could be like".

    This does not buy points for Mozilla, _until_ they switch to another browser because of some defect in Mozilla, at which point they think that Mozilla sucks.

    It's only in the extremely rare case that someone will use Mozilla for a while, find it defective for some reason or another, try another, and then find that browser insufficient for most of their needs.

    This mostly comes from updating software, but is a real problem.

    Post grad-level students were using 30-node (not a typo) AI nets to extract voices out of a noisy environment +30dB above the base level of the sought-after voices a few years ago. By this I mean circa 1998.

    What are you talking about? If you are referencing extracting a few trained words in a "cocktail party" environment then you might be correct. The level of recognition necessary for automated wiretapping of any value is still far beyond anything currently available AFAICT.

  24. Re:Bloat on C++ Templates: The Complete Guide · · Score: 1

    Well, what can happen with matrix libraries in C++, is that many people design them using inheritance and whatnot. Templates, I was under the impression, if used "all the way to the bottom" can be a faster way to go about it.

    Blitz++ compares fairly well to Fortran. That's pretty good for me.

  25. Re:Bloat on C++ Templates: The Complete Guide · · Score: 1

    Well, thankfully, with a library like blitz++, which is mostly just a means of providing matrix-like containers, it's normally pretty easy to figure out what you are doing wrong regardless of the pages of template-related errors that g++ might spit out. As long as you have faith that the monster-mash of templates that you are using is clean, you can sort out your own code with the only compile-error line starting with "instantiated from here" that actually has a reference to some code you've written yourself. :)

    A humorous, if you're sick, thing to do is to index into a blitz::Array with a float or double ... this generates about 20 pages of completely impenetrable errors. Just classic. It can easily blow the minds of beginners and completely pisses people off that are switching from Java in a Windows environment to, say, a g++/Linux mode. Heh.
