In this content, the author discusses the concept of planes in 3D space and various ways to describe them, including the point-and-normal form, three points form, and constant-normal form. The author also explains how to calculate the distance from a point to a plane, project a point onto a plane, and find the intersection of […]

Hubris introduces a unique concept with its 13th and oddest syscall, REPLY_FAULT, which allows servers to kill tasks with faults instead of having unnecessary error handling for IPC operations. This aggressive approach, similar to hardware faults, ensures errors are caught early and simplifies system reasoning. Despite concerns, REPLY_FAULT has been surprisingly beneficial for developers, enhancing […]
The WorldWideWeb (W3) is a project aiming to provide universal access to a vast array of online information. This initiative includes an executive summary, mailing lists, policies, news updates, FAQs, and pointers to online resources and servers. It offers help on browsers and software products, details on protocols and formats, and a bibliography. The project […]
Welcome to LWN.net, where subscribers get access to the best news from the Linux and free software communities. In a surprising revelation, users are unaware of the complexity involved in video playback due to intricate engineering in compression and decompression of video data. Daniel Almeida discusses the challenges faced by video codecs and proposes using […]

In the post, the author discusses the importance of building a data stack that utilizes Iceberg as the core data storage layer and allows for flexibility in choosing the compute environment based on specific needs. Different use cases, such as BI reporting, batch data pipeline jobs, and external data customers, require different prioritizations, whether it’s […]
In this paper, we address the importance of sentiment analysis in extracting insights from textual data online. Traditional methods and deep learning models fall short in capturing complex relationships between entities, prompting us to introduce Relational Graph Convolutional Networks (RGCNs). This approach enhances interpretability and flexibility by capturing dependencies between data points as nodes in […]
Albert Camus was born into poverty in 1913, raised by his illiterate mother, and became a journalist. He had a team spirit from his football days, supported anarchism, and associated with revolutionary syndicalists. His book “The Rebel” marked a break from the Communist Party left, earning praise from anarchists. Camus faced criticism from fellow travellers […]
Researchers at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica have detected seven potential tau neutrinos, which are notoriously hard to capture due to their low mass and weak interactions with matter. Using convolutional neural networks, they sifted through a decade of data to distinguish between different flavors of neutrinos. Surprisingly, the CNNs focused on the overall […]
