Beyond Uber not refunding you (which is not nice). I would also blame the restaurant (WTF, pieces glasses in your meal)...

I think what they mean by UV unwrapping is generating a UV map from. Textured model (here the texture is generated by a triplanes network).

It’s interesting for compression purpose, but kinda orthogonal to this method (a good UV unwrapping can be used once the model generated)

Disclaimer: This work is done by some of my colleagues.

As someone pointed out, there are 25 pages of text (not including bibliography of course), not 5.

Most publications are coming with multiple months delay before code release (if any), here you literally have a written soft deadline of 1 week. So maybe you can wait few days before posting such bad comment?

words have meanings and should be used accordingly

> I'm also not going to pay a subscription fee to every site I come across that might have a decently written article once in a while.

What if the site was consistenly putting decent articles? I think one of the argument is that you would see more of those decent articles if people were more enclined to follow a subscription model where the journal is accountable to its customers.

This is not a proof. In logic, you can't say A and C => D is wrong just because B and C => D is wrong.

An example, "My uncle became blind because of diabetes", similar answer: "I don't buy it, my father is diabetic and never got blind". Doesn't work.

In other words, the reason why scientific journalism in non-university press could be bad for various different reason than university press.

This post is titled "Economic Pessimism Growing in U.S."...

My experience seems to resonate with a good amount of ppl here. I graduated from a very average university and my grades were a roller-coaster, I tend to prefer learning in depth topics that I'm interested into rather than study for exam and that led me to difficult times. I went to a more prestigious university for exchange and to my surprise students were not better in in-depth understanding but even more exam-smart...

One thing I've ended thinking is that University is just not good for learning in-depth (at least my field of computer engineering) I'm way better at that on my own, what it was good at tho is helping me building a map of knowledge of concepts I was not aware of, I'm thankful I discovered ML in a class which then became my passion and career.

Or just to do what he did. Ian Goodfellow and probably all his team will have no problem finding another job in the condition they want. Apple don't have any monopole on AI jobs.

A quick look at the author history on latimes, the last column before that: "Column: The Gardiner brothers are TikTok’s lords of the dance".

So how about you first?

Sometimes I don't understand how something like that end up on HN...

This is so vague... Me breathing air has real consequences. You probably mean "societal" consequences, and it's also way too vague, moderating has real consequences as much as not moderating.

Isn't there a psychological phenomenon (I can't remember the name) where despite that you can find some news article that are complete BS, and you know it because it's an area in which you are knowledgeable, but you still believe the other articles in which you have no knowledge?

While such comments appear to be troll-ish I think it's always good to have a reminder.

Despite downvotes this comment is very true. A modern constitution (the foundation of a country) is all about citizen rights to counter power, if you think government should just be trusted without actions to require more safeguard and transparency then you are pretty much waving your rights, and you probably don't deserve them.

Likewise, for the moment I haven't found any other solution than "work more", to compensate for my lack of organization...

To whomever is saying that "only position of the light matter" I invite you to try playing a car simulation game where all the arrows are inverted.

Arrows are so well used (especially in the driving context) that the way we react to them is down to subconscious reflex. Imagine that the light is replaced by and neon written ("RIGHT" on the left side, and "LEFT" on the right side)

This is stupid and just plain dangerous.

May I ask if you had some non-startup years of experience before joining this seed company?

And it's not 100% luck neither, as one of the first employee you probably participated to the success of those companies! Kudos to you!

and is there any advices in this book to avoid focusing on the technique in important moment? I used to play foosball competitively and this used to eat me when I started to doubt about my technique.

Oh that was trolling, didn't pay attention about this part...

I think it's more about anonymous down voting to be very enticing for people who "hate" certain ideologies. Which can go either side, regulation, unionization, I've seen both side comments been downvoted. But on both case, yup, to hell with the nuance.

Why is this comment downvoted? It seems to be nuanced, or are there some studies showing that this is absurd? I'm genuinly curious

You're probably downvoted by people that don't quite understand a notion that is more than 200 years old, which is called "Suppy and demand". The article is literally saying that "speaking up" helped their salary and HN comments are all about unionization (which is letting union speak for you) and claiming that if you negotiate you get fired, that's absurd.

Nobody forced them to work, they can leave, negotiate, refuse an offer, and there are still a lot of video game companies, so this is a market that doesn't need any regulation or unionization. They made a choice to get this job at a low salary.

The only complication is for young student idealizing the environment without knowing that the salary is bad. Well that's what this twitter trend is helping at. It will inform the high performer and keep them out of the field and companies will have to either raise salaries to re-attract them or accept lower performer.

First of all: supply and demand.

Software development is a field where supply and demand apply without debate. Supply and demand are only ineffective when there is a form of monopoly / regulation in place. Which is not the case here:

1) It's very easy to make a startup software company (in comparison to others types of companies), and there is a healthy pool of existing company

2) CS education is very popular and we have a flow of new graduate every year, on top of that self-teaching is quite accessible.

Now, that means that the market is leaning toward demand (for programmers). Being "necessary" have never being enough to have a high salary, there are countless jobs badly paid at very wealthly companies, you must be necessary (demand) AND difficult to replace (supply too low) to have a high salary.

Some reason of the current trend:

- Very low supply of very high quality that a lot of projects requires: there is a huge difference between "programming" and actually doing software engineering at scale. And if you add some specialities like ML or security, the pool of candidate is getting very low.

- Rush for leading certain fields like AI, Autonomous vehicule, blockchain, etc... Those rushes are so fast paced that it drives the demand up.

- There are so many new startups, as I said earlier it's one of the field where making a startup is the easiest, and a good amount of them have strong ambition and investments (again in comparison to other fields)

Then isn't it the pool of candidate that is setting the norm, and not the employer ?

MOOC that have been around for years are more prepared for online classes and cheaper than any of those universities that will make you pay for maintenance of facilities that you cannot even use.

And don't you tell me that they cannot save on electricity and cancelled activities.

The price of tuition is not following any offer-and-demand, they are just using the fact that you are in the middle of your studies and you can't stop now, hope that will make people realise the kind of mafia those university are.

Except that the "glorification of violence" depends on the interpretation. It can also be a warning that people will start to defend themselves with violence or that the military will intervene. If that's the case those warning are here to AVOID violence by discouraging people to engage in looting...

Facebook shouldn't make such decision based on the interpretation of some emotionally biased employees.

They seems obvious to you now but they weren't at that time. Not that I am a Zuck fan at all but he deserve credit for that and that probably demonstrate some creativity and vision from him. No ?

When did Youtube videos started to be reference source ? I can't find any academic references on her work despite her putting "Ph.D" title after her name on every plateform existing.

I don't think you have the right numbers in mind talking about the networks used in academic works. The majority of network used in publications are good old references like VGG

And don't you think it would have been more efficient to write it down clean at first with good comments and code practice ? Those good practices are here for a reason and not just for annoying you for the sack of "beauty". You would save more time for yourself when you wanna expand the paper further or just reuse some part of it, have better reputation for your work, and gain some citation because people will have the tendency to use your code as a starting point.
