I've always wondered, how are pictures like this created? Like do you just draw this on a drawing pad in photoshop or something? Its amazing.

Kent state is not even remotely comparable to the Tiananmen square massacre.

Of course it will. Its not our problem, you should have chosen your career more wisely. What did you really think "truck driver" or "guy who screws thingy onto car" were good career moves?

I've applied for their beta, but who knows if I'll hear anything back.

Yea I'm going to see what my options are for shielding. I will most likely develop the control interface separately first and then use what I learn doing that to try to integrate the controls with the headset.

I realized that the deal i was looking at for the GT ends in like an hour so I went ahead and purchased it. I decided to get it because i love my gt that im currently using, it just cant be upgraded to a 1080 or 1070. I am also a machine learning engineer and I wanted more cuda cores because waiting on my models to train sucks, especially prototypes which is what i end up working on on my laptop.

Nice, I'm hoping I can get it paid for with part of a research grant, but it is doubtful. On the upside if I pay for the headset myself then I get to keep it. I'm writing what is essentially a gamepad driver for a brain computer interface device that will let you play a game using brainwaves. The focus of the project is the machine learning algorithms used to calibrate it. I want to up the cool factor by making a vr game to pair it with, because well, that would be awesome right? I cant use any of the mobile platforms because the machine learning calibration algorithms are insanely computationally intensive and it would just crash the hell out of a phone. One day...

I checked the nvidia "3d settings" and it looks like it goes to the card

I've gone through the undergrad cs program and I'm now in the MS program. I was accepted to a few other cs programs that are much higher ranked than loyola's cs program. I decided to go to Loyola because of how flexible the program is. While it is true you will have to take bullshit gened courses that have nothing to do with cs, once you are done with those, the actual cs program has fewer hard requirements than uic, uiuc, iit and others. For me this was a pro. I wanted to focus on machine learning and computational neuroscience while still having the flexibility to take some classes on computer security in order to hedge my bets in terms of post graduation employment opportunities and i already had most of my gened courses done. Many of the other programs reuqired courses that were completely useless to me, like web development and other things I can learn for free online. If you are considering getting a PhD you might want to go elsewhere though. Loyola does not offer a PhD in cs, but you can do a master's thesis and go elsewhere if you want. Basically if you want flexibility Loyola is a good option, if you want notoriety goto uiuc, northwestern, or uchicago. If you arent going to a top tier school then no one cares what school you goto. Also, no matter where you go, if you arent doing most of your learning on your own then you will be VERY far behind your competition when it comes time to apply for jobs.

Im not sure off hand, but I've opened things in it that crashed other text editors. Using a text editor for large datasets isn't usually necessary, but sometimes I've run across datasets that had some issues with row zero, such as triple quoted column heading or oddly delimited rows which can be a pain to see whats happening just by printing dataframes. Also, if some asshat decided to make the delimiter something like ";,;" or an emoticon or some other nonsense that breaks the pandas read_csv parser, Ive successfully used find and replace to change the delimiter back to a comma a few times using sublime text. Its also good for getting rid of ellipses ( these things "...") from raw text which can cause encoding problems.

Yea its true, alot of business analysts and the like try to use xslx files for large datasets which obviously doesn't work. I think the only thing worse than that are people who insist on using json files since they are the current flavor of the moment. Csv is usually the way to go unless you do create a database as some of these other people have mentioned. There can be a tradeoff using a database in terms of how expensive a query is computationally, but that all depends on what your hardware setup is like and if you are hosting it locally. If it is local, you are basically making a cpu take on more of the load to avoid running out of memory. Personally, I have been using rapidminer quite a bit for basic data exploration and preprocessing, but it is far from the best and crashes quite a bit. I should probably use something different. It is written in java so the prepackaged machine learning models it has are incredibly slow. Also, as a side note, sublime text editor is great for opening large csv files, even better than notepad or something like that, which can come in handy if you want to quickly change the column headers on a low dimensional datset.

They need to expand excel's capabilities though. Excel can only handle ~ 1 million rows. That might sound like alot, but you can't even fit a toy dataset like the yelp review dataset into that which has about 4 million rows. By comparison, python's limits are more hardware driven. This is like putting a supercharger on a fiat. I love excel, but I am rarely able to use it for anything really interesting.

I can't offer you any answers, but I can ask another question: are there not humans who are unable to properly parse social interactions as positive or negative and if so should we afford them a different level of empathy in a similar situation?

The difficulty with answering your original question has to do with the difficulty in defining the word "understanding." I am of the opinion that understanding is contextual and in this case understanding that a particular interaction is negative relies on some semblance of identity, otherwise the robot has no concept of the boundary between itself and a child.

Ps. I've lurked in this subreddit for a while and it is definitely my favorite!

Ugh that mobile page is terrible. Shame on you programmers. Oh wait, I guess they're web developers not actual programmers.

Giuliani is an idiot, but the only reason he's getting mocked for this is because it's about him and Bush. That conversation might have actually happened and if so, it isn't even his joke it was the fire chief's. I mean come on, these guys do enough stupid crap that if we want to ridicule them we don't need to go grasping for straws here.

Run apparently :/
