I really hate this. Seems all good search engines are now banned in China: Google, duckduckgo, even Bing. For those of you who do not have a proper VPN and do not want to put up with Baidu's shitty search experience, I recommend searx.me.

fwiw, pbrt can be read online for free since earlier last year: http://www.pbr-book.org/

I have a feeling that Jonathan Blow will enjoy playing with engine and work something brilliant on top of it.

You could try searching Smalltalk-80 on libgen.io. I think the other twos are both there.

I work at Tencent. From my observation: golang is extremely popular in China. Except that we are no different from other parts on the planet. Java, C++, python, js are popular too. Usually no Chinese will be used in the code, programmers try to use English, even if some of them wrote comments with grammar mistakes. Most internet-companies in China are using Agile dev mode by default.

This is created by my friend Yuduo Wu (http://www.yuduowu.com/). Really awesome work. We should have more such kind of repos that summarize resources related to ML systems and infra.

Well, I actually agree with you. But John Carmack's armadillo aerospace was founded 2 years before SpaceX.

Some of my Taiwanese friends would choose to base their companies at either silicon valley or mainland China, while a lot of my bay area Chinese friends (and friends who received US grad school education) would choose to base their companies in mainland China. Taiwan doesn't really have the ideal startup environment.

I think compared to pollution, political situation and education is more concerned.

I think YC China would mainly help local tech talents to launch startups with a focus on China's markets first. If you look at how many tech startups are located in Beijing (some of them are tier-one companies: Tusimple, uisee, bytedance, mobvoi, megvii, just to name a few), you would know that they have made the right choice.

Yes I believe so, as she is currently learning python and data analysis.

It's been updated (with labels and data source from Wiki) and the author would like to have it pop up the name of the GPU when you mouseover too. Filed an issue: https://github.com/altair-viz/altair/issues/360

Some stats on GPUs over time. A cool visualization project on going.

The question is, do people in China really need Facebook now? I used to live in China and I still have lots of connections there, none of my friends are using Facebook-like social network services. People are using Wechat (a mobile-based semi-private social network), weibo (a Twitter clone with more features), and Zhihu (a Quora clone), and a zillion live streaming share sites. All the Facebook clone sites in China are dying.

That being said, I agree that this is still an evil move for Facebook.

Just out of curiosity, is there any child labor involved in this? Also, what proportion of local population is doing this (considering both workers and business owners)? Why this city, but not other cities around? Anything special of your hometown? Thank you!

For those who are searching for improved Dijkstra's algorithm, delta-stepping is a good one: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~pingali/CS395T/2012sp/papers/delt...

This really reminds me of this super fun flash game Manufactoria: http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/ A Turing machine game.

I really wish someone could try deep neural networks on my favorite mario doujin game that combines mario with portal: http://stabyourself.net/mari0/

You may find work from my colleagues interesting: Parallel Lossless Data Compression on the GPU: http://www.idav.ucdavis.edu/publications/print_pub?pub_id=10... Fast Parallel Suffix Array on the GPU: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/83r7w305 I think built on top of the second paper (suffix array paper), there should be fast compression library. We have one implementation in our library CUDPP 2.0, you can try it out if you like: https://github.com/cudpp/cudpp/blob/master/src/cudpp/app/sa_...

Combined with proper user body data collection techniques, this could create real customized apparel.

I highly recommend this gitbook to you: https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/index.html

Not a compiler guy but a GPU programmer. This is exciting! Attended one of the authors' lecture a while ago. Although at this point I assume gpucc would be super-optimized for deep learning (by which I mean dense matrix multiplication), this is very good for the community so that people can work on various versions that either focus on better general performance, or difference feature sets for specific applications in the future.

It could be used as an NSFW content identifier, it also could be used as a fine-grained porn video classifier. At least that's what I want to use it for.

This is cool. Reminds me of this Islamic art game too: http://www.engare.design/

You guys may want to try this (haven't released anything yet, but looks promising): http://www.pointimize.com/

For the complex network part, I think the collection missed this one: http://www.networkrepository.com/ The site itself is a collection of several publicly available network datasets.

It's true and I find that feature very annoying. Of course I can turn it off, but they shouldn't turn it on by default IMO.

How about not setting limit to any length, but using a text summary generator to reduce the tl;dr version to 140 characters?

Thanks for the info!

I cannot believe after all these years China is still banning the whole site instead of using some keyword or content-based method. Not that those methods are right, but at least it would save a lot of programmers and researchers time. How can people make progress on anything related to scientific research without the help of Wikipedia? seven years ago I was a college student in China and I sure remembered how I have to set up VPN to check on wikipedia pages for my thesis. And needless to say, the school doesn't have the up-to-date paper collection from either IEEE or ACM. I have to directly visit the author's sites. I really wish the government could realize how harmful this is to innovation...
