Conversely, I find it hard to work in silence. Music, radio, (with inane chatter) or even a TV in the background helps me so much more.
I find silence distracting as I instead here little irregular noises here & there (doors slamming in the building, people shouting in the street etc)

Does anyone have any haar-like classifiers for drones yet? Just for research of course.

And that doesn't influence what they decided to work on/research?

I'm curious, how do "they" access/ interface these huge reams of data? Does anyone have any insight?
Surely all this google-size data is useless without a very very good interface to it

But does the cap STOP the bandwidth being used? Or does it just continue, at £10/gb?

Additional tax on cigerettes and booze hasn't caused a decline, I'm pretty sure it's the same scenario here.

If the operators NEED to stop using bandwidth over a certain amount, I'd imagine they would cut off. But stopping service is bad for repuation and bad for revenue

That fraction being 105/100 ?

The sony xperia costs more than the iphone 5s from O2 in the UK...

They made a mistake of not releasing a cheap option....

Javanese is the overly excited language programmers speak at around 10am after 4 cups of coffee right?

How did you measure the speed?

I'd imagine the record company could want to hijack 's twitter account to peddle other bands to their followers to generate sales & hype... Doesn't seem too unreasonable? To record companies, bands are just an tool to make them money right?
Their twitter account could then become just another advertising stream until the next fad comes along

Apologies in advance for the trolling but that section seems a bit unnecessary... it's basically saying "if something bad happens to the service you use, something bad can happen to you"?

The light device has little to do with the hypothetical compromise of a cloud service IMO. As well as the feature of changing hue from another image. "Blackout" is a little alarmist when it's just doing what it's told to do...

The hack/comprimised access itself is neat though.

You can roughly calculate camera extrinsic and intrinsic (including lens distortion) parameters from 3 world coordinates. (Assuming they're all in the photos)
One presumes with the amount of threshold and flexibility the system needs, that'll be plenty.

It's not that bad, just needs a lot of tweaking to get things to err, give decent persistent output

I've just started with opencl and love it, it's fast, easy, debuggable (codel) and -with stable drivers- not too much of a pain when it goes wrong.

I've been writing hlsl, glsl and arb vertex shaders for years and to me, opencl kernels are basically the same thing (language and limitation wise). Convert some full screen graphics effects to opencl for a first example, then make it do other stuff (maybe with buffers instead of images).

Once you're used to making/debugging kernels, start splitting code/algorithms into smaller chunks, and start parallelising!

Once it works, start digging into specific opencl/cuda stuff (local vs global memory etc) to start optimising

Doesn't seem so bad. I think Thom Yorke is missing a step... spotify pays the LABELS. The LABELS obviously decided the royalties from spotify are enough... Perhaps the labels aren't paying artists enough...
