I wonder if only using non-overlapped triangles would reduce accuracy. Otherwise, it should limit the number of triangles.

plus, I might add, you can create secure software, that can't be penetrated from outside, but what about the hardware? Unless you write this (software) too, how can you trust the underlying hardware? e.g.: broadpwn.
Yes, open source makes it easier to audit/collaborate/patch but it's not enough.

do you think these questions are addressed by open-source software? I mean, if you only have a few buttons in front of you, how can you verify/audit the software it's running?

to protect voting, audit your software/system extensively. Openssh is open-source and we all know the story..
Re:Is it unethical for me to not tell my employer I've automated my job?

similarly, on a larger scale, one could ask whether deep learning is unethical for automating millions of jobs (if not yet, certainly in the future).

posts involving vectorization are always nice, especially if it involves compression. I'd love to see a vectorized version of arithmetic coding, that would definitely be interesting

I wonder how of those fit in a zedboard. (not going to ask how many hours of tool fighting that would require though).

If they are shutting down, why not make (and share) an archive of the whole site, to preserve the works that's been done? Sharing through bittorrent is free and decentralized. They already host the images, and I get the feeling that sites in this niche are already in some gray-copyright area..
Re:Why Facebook Keeps Beating Every Rival: It’s the Network

The nature of Facebook makes it also far more easier to release and distribute new products. People come to your service every hour -- on the other side none (should have) wanted to visit Microsoft's homepage, which makes the enterprise agreements a necessity, that doesn't scale (by any means) as well, although MS managed to scale pretty well.
Re:MP3 for Image Compression (2006)
on Monday April 17, 2017 @07:24PM (#14135310)
While it might be possible for special cases [1], I have my concerns, you really can't compress (lossless) beyond the (information theoretic) entropy -- in which case one would try to compress deflate (zip) with deflate (png).
[1]: I remember when I was taking an information theory lesson at the university and told the (video/jpeg compression guru) professor that I compressed an AVI file with my dump arithmetic coding implementation, he was shocked, turns out the file had some large crappy header from the editor

not sure why anyone would spend double money when you can get about the same performance using a gtx 1080 TI. The performance looks marginal IMO -- optimizing the code on gtx 1080 TI (cuda and/or shader assembly) would probably yield very satisfactory results and definitely better perf/buck.

Re:Applying the Linus Torvalds “Good Taste” Coding Requirement

Not only is it duplicate, it also contains nasty "behavior". If prev->next equals NULL then dereferencing this would result in segfault, so in this case another if statement is required.
Is Nvidia cheating?
Hello,I was browsing the new NVIDIA gpus while checking the old ones, and found gtx 970 has 6Gbps "memory speed" on the 1070 comparison page ( http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1070 ) , meanwhile gtx 970 has 7Gbps "memory speed" in its dedicated specs page ( http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-970/specifications ) (screenshots for obvious...
