schestowitzDoing a collab next week... This collaborator and I have been trying for the past year (at a capacity of ~50 hours per month) to attain state-of-the-art performance using an approach which compares aligned surfaces by means of geodesics alone, usingApr 25 16:23
schestowitznothing but the 3-D (spatial data). Although we reached verification rates of about 95% with particular datasets, other groups claim to have done better (also 3-D only). More recently we tried using surfaceApr 25 16:24
schestowitznormals and edges (curvature), but this too did not help outperform the state of the art.Apr 25 16:24

schestowitzqu1j0t3: all jobs are repetitiveApr 25 17:10
schestowitzmine tooApr 25 17:10
schestowitzwe're good at repetationApr 25 17:11
schestowitzhumans can't grasp much at any one time, they can be optimised to yank out the same once traInedApr 25 17:11
schestowitzbased on what I saw in companis like IntelApr 25 17:11
schestowitzIt's just about who gets into which clubApr 25 17:11
qu1j0t3it's not so much about repetition.Apr 25 17:12
qu1j0t3wellApr 25 17:12
qu1j0t3there needs to be allowance for creativityApr 25 17:12
schestowitzeducation is acquiring education at one's own expense rather than  the employer'sApr 25 17:12
schestowitzit's not so much about aptitudeApr 25 17:12
qu1j0t3well we've mentioned a lot of concepts here, repetition, creativity, education, aptitudeApr 25 17:13
qu1j0t3to narrow down to my problemApr 25 17:13
qu1j0t3i wonder ... is it creativity .. i expect so.Apr 25 17:13
qu1j0t3it's not repetitionApr 25 17:13
qu1j0t3i guess creativity and learning(growth) are not really optionalApr 25 17:14
qu1j0t3anyone should expect some of thisApr 25 17:14
schestowitzFOSS helps creativity and worker retentionApr 25 18:12
schestowitzthere's some stuff I could do for more money, but the code would not stay with me and everything will just seem more like "selling" onselfApr 25 18:12
schestowitzGoogle tries to attract and retain good employees with chefs and "free" time, but I'm not sure they do this anymoreApr 25 18:13
schestowitzThey use to do some PR-like toursApr 25 18:13
schestowitzTBH, based on what I gathered, it's just a company where you work long hours for a good wage and nobody knows you and what you doApr 25 18:13
schestowitzUnless you're some manager or public figure like DiBona, you can end up years later looking at it like it's "your life gone" for some bank balanceApr 25 18:14
schestowitzso it's a tradeoff between what one likes and what one gets more "compensation" forApr 25 18:15
schestowitzThis is what I usually call wage "compensation" - in many case it's what people are willing to do the word for, it compensated them for the trouble they put up with everyday; work hard, play hard, so to speakApr 25 18:15
schestowitzmy OH got tired of CS after the first year, but she finished all 4 years regardless, even though she knew it was not something she would enjoy doingApr 25 18:16
schestowitzMy sister just carried on with what she hated, to this dateApr 25 18:16
schestowitzFOSS is not  just a matter of control for usersApr 25 18:16
schestowitzBut also putting developers in control of their own creation, which they can get for anyway (Torvalds is worth hundreds of millions)Apr 25 18:17

XFaCEAh yes, the 2011 census, the most useless one in history, thanks again to Duchess(R)Apr 25 23:56
XFaCE"Still, this is a much needed realignment of political power. Canada has changed from the old 1950's focus of power in Ontario-Quebec; the focus has indeed, moved West, and democracy requires proper representation of this transformation."Apr 25 23:57
XFaCEYepApr 25 23:58
