That 90% only measures images already known to be one of CIFAR-10’s ten classes. There is no “none of the above,” so even a perfect benchmark score would still force a calculator into one of those labels.
In a vacuum, there isn’t a fireball hanging around for the next charge to cross; the plasma is moving outward at thousands of km/s.
The person who decides owns the risk. The cost of waiting is spread across the whole team, so escalating is usually the safer move for the individual.
Most of the gain seems to come from choosing a much smaller program. Frame implements enough X11 for this one desktop and leaves out decades of compatibility work that a compiler would still have to preserve.

Feedback has been very positive so far - customers are finding it makes the initial screening process much easier. One advantage over Google Docs is the ability to do time-shifted interviews, making it a good first filter for job postings.
Feel free to drop me a mail and we can chat further.
and watch them code something
Inspired by the recent submission from cdixon (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1190710) regarding developing new startup ideas and being the "opposite of secret", I thought we could put the theory into practice.
Feel free to add your own ideas and leave feedback on the others. If you see something you like, get in contact and make it happen!
Well if he isn't going to share his spreadsheet, we can start our own.
Feel free to add your idea to http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tOGIddn3rPdqKbHWsqaWb... and we'll see where it goes.
I stopped the video and left the site after I couldn't take anymore of the 70s porn music.
I agree that when I am absorbed in a task, time passes quickly. But I'm not sure it's a measure of productivity. An evening can be over too quickly if you fill it with dinner and a good movie.
However, waking up always catches me by surprise.
Fantastic video, thanks very much.
There seems to be momentum gathering to improve education. Watching Bill Gate's TED video this morning and now this (albeit perhaps more motivational than educational), I'm aware this is a topic which fundamentally interests me but haven't considered yet. It seems an area ripe for innovation in the same way we've seen happen in computing.
Healthy body = healthy mind.
For those who aren't sure of how to spend their gym time most efficiently, and get bored of doing the same old bike/treadmill routine, should check out CrossFit.
A workout is posted every day which is designed to deliver "a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive". You can scale the workout to your own abilities and feel encouraged by the knowledge of thousands of others putting themselves through the same pain around the world.
CrossFit would be good enough on its own - having world experts design your training program takes the guesswork out of what to do - but it's the community that makes it special. You've got world class athletes and beginners having interesting and informed discussions on fitness and nutrition.
Take five minutes and see what you think. I've been a convert for two years and it beats all my previous training experience for getting fit and feeling healthy.
So once your master password is found (brute force/keylogger/shoulder surfing), the attacker has a handy bookmarklet to log into all of your accounts.
HPV is a cancer caused by the presence of a virus.
HPV (human papillomavirus) is a virus, not a cancer. Most people carry the virus but are asymptomatic. Of the approx 130 types of HPV, some can lead to cancer, most commonly of the cervix.
I agree. I remember seeing a site around the US Presidential Election time that used the mass of tweets to form a consensus of opinion on a number of topics.
Surely mining this collective intelligence provides invaluable market insight.
"I feel like when I talk to my "friends", I either have to talk all about computers, or all about music, or whatever that they're interested in, but never a mixture of everything."
Have you actually tried talking about other topics? It sounds like you're making assumptions about what your friends are interested in, but haven't actually tested your hypothesis.
I don't think I've met anyone who isn't keen to learn something new or teach me about one of their interests.
