| schestowitz | Doing 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, using | Apr 25 16:23 |
| schestowitz | nothing 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 surface | Apr 25 16:24 |
| schestowitz | normals and edges (curvature), but this too did not help outperform the state of the art. | Apr 25 16:24 |

| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: i am becoming concerned that i am not using my brain enough at work | Apr 25 16:28 |
| qu1j0t3 | schestowitz: or rather, have the opportunity | Apr 25 16:28 |
| schestowitz | qu1j0t3: all jobs are repetitive | Apr 25 17:10 |
| schestowitz | mine too | Apr 25 17:10 |
| schestowitz | we're good at repetation | Apr 25 17:11 |
| schestowitz | humans can't grasp much at any one time, they can be optimised to yank out the same once traIned | Apr 25 17:11 |
| schestowitz | based on what I saw in companis like Intel | Apr 25 17:11 |
| schestowitz | It's just about who gets into which club | Apr 25 17:11 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's not so much about repetition. | Apr 25 17:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | well | Apr 25 17:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | there needs to be allowance for creativity | Apr 25 17:12 |
| schestowitz | education is acquiring education at one's own expense rather than the employer's | Apr 25 17:12 |
| schestowitz | it's not so much about aptitude | Apr 25 17:12 |
| qu1j0t3 | well we've mentioned a lot of concepts here, repetition, creativity, education, aptitude | Apr 25 17:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | to narrow down to my problem | Apr 25 17:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | i wonder ... is it creativity .. i expect so. | Apr 25 17:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | it's not repetition | Apr 25 17:13 |
| qu1j0t3 | i guess creativity and learning(growth) are not really optional | Apr 25 17:14 |
| qu1j0t3 | anyone should expect some of this | Apr 25 17:14 |
| schestowitz | FOSS helps creativity and worker retention | Apr 25 18:12 |
| schestowitz | there'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" onself | Apr 25 18:12 |
| schestowitz | Google tries to attract and retain good employees with chefs and "free" time, but I'm not sure they do this anymore | Apr 25 18:13 |
| schestowitz | They use to do some PR-like tours | Apr 25 18:13 |
| schestowitz | TBH, 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 do | Apr 25 18:13 |
| schestowitz | Unless 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 balance | Apr 25 18:14 |
| schestowitz | so it's a tradeoff between what one likes and what one gets more "compensation" for | Apr 25 18:15 |
| schestowitz | This 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 speak | Apr 25 18:15 |
| schestowitz | my 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 doing | Apr 25 18:16 |
| schestowitz | My sister just carried on with what she hated, to this date | Apr 25 18:16 |
| schestowitz | FOSS is not just a matter of control for users | Apr 25 18:16 |
| schestowitz | But 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 |
