Re:Adobe will bring the full Photoshop to the iPad on Friday July 13, 2018 @08:47AM (#17522447)
Porting photoshop to iOS/ARM could also in part be motivated by a known or perceived Apple transition from Intel to their own ARM chips.

WinterLight Labs (http://www.winterlightlabs.com) | Machine Learning Engineer | Toronto, Canada | Full Time | Onsite & At home

WinterLight Labs is a Toronto-based company which has developed cutting-edge software for objectively measuring cognitive impairment by automatically quantifying hundreds of aspects of speech and language using natural language processing algorithms and machine learning. We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer ​to specialize in the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine learning (ML) models. This role may involve:

● In-house implementation of state-of-the-art ASR models, using deep neural networks and open-source tools, such as Kaldi. ● Research and development of methods for online re-training and adaptation of ASR models, especially for individuals with speech disorders (e.g., aphasia) and elderly voices ● Analysis of the robustness of lexico-syntactic features derived from errorful ASR transcripts. ● Implementation of additional lexico-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic features derived from textual transcripts ● Implementation of additional acoustic features derived from the speech signal ● Optimization of feature selection and dimensionality reduction techniques ● Optimization of model hyperparameters, and experimentation with a variety of model types. ● Optimization of multi-view approaches to data fusion ● Leveraging unsupervised and supervised approaches to data fusion

They stiched still images together to make the video, perhaps that created the speed up?
Re:On being a female on a male-dominated engineering team on Wednesday October 28, 2015 @02:53PM (#10466467)
Those are several possible negative outcomes of positive discrimination. It's also possible that more women speakers at conferences encourages other women to speak, to work on side projects and generally to do things that get them promoted.

I think her point is that since there is so much negative discrimination, the positive discrimination is cancelled out.

Amazing, that's as fast as the Lamborghini Aventador https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Aventador

About 2 years ago, the original macgap project stopped being maintained, so I'm happy to see that someone has forked it and maintaining it.

Re:Introducing Socket.io 1.0 on Wednesday May 28, 2014 @01:47PM (#7811729)
This was a long time coming! I'm very happy to see socket.io 1.0 finally released. Pre-1.0 had some deal-breaking technical issues, such as starting with websockets and falling back to polling. I think the new approach is starting with polling and then seeing if a) websockets are supported by the current browser and b) messages sent via websocket are received by the server (a firewall might prevent this).

U of T medical school has a similar set of class composites which do a great job of showing gender and race changes over the years.

ChikkaChiChi, that may be the single best explanation for what Vagrant is. Most people answer: "It provisions VMs" which isn't as enlightening as your answer!
