Google's Go: A New Programming Language That's Python Meets C++ - 6 views

  •  
    Big news for developers out there: Google has just announced the release of a new, open sourced programming language called Go. The company ...

    Ugh... no operator overloading, no efficient generic programming and no lambda expressions... Only time will tell, but I don't understand who the intended audience is: I think that Python guys won't care about the (supposedly) increased performance (and you can interface C/C++ with Python easily) and that C++ programmers (I mean, the hardcore serious C++ Boost-like programmers, no the Java-like whiners :P) won't have their beloved templates pried from their cold dead hands with ease.
  •  
    yeah though I think especially operator overloading is not going to be a main problem, it is as with the JS library though quite thinkable that lots of users will switch or use it (or being put to use it...) because it is done by Google
  •  
    Having Google backing it will certainly help, even though they are presenting it as a "system level" (i.e., hard-core) language, and in that domain it is much more difficult to bullshit your way to a position of relevance. Look at Java: Sun pushed it like hell and it is certainly widely used in many contexts (corporate, web and embedded markets mostly), yet it completely failed to win the hearts of "open-source" developers (or, more generally, of those developers who are not forced to use it by virtue of some management-driven decision).
  •  
    "or, more generally, of those developers who are not forced to use it by virtue of some management-driven decision" completely agree with that!!

    new open source tool from google .... Francesco: of any interest to us?
  •  
    I don't think so, it is just a code optimizer for JavaScript, unless there are somewhere big JavaScript (web2.0) applications running that is not of much interest for us Other google labs systems e.g. FriendConnect could be useful for Ariadnet, maybe also the visualization and social graph API

    smells like ariadnet for ariadna papers and researchers

    Ideed, seems like what we dream for ariadnet... However could have been good to allow the creation of groups. I will try it next week. The possibility to "Explore research trends and statistics" will please Leopold ;)

Speeding swarms of sensor robots - 2 views

  • the algorithm is designed for robots that will be monitoring an environment for long periods of time, tracing the same routes over and over. It assumes that the data of interest — temperature, the concentration of chemicals, the presence of organisms — fluctuate at different rates in different parts of the environment.
  • But it turns out to be a monstrously complex calculation. “It’s very hard to come up with a mathematical proof that you can really optimize the acquired knowledge,”
  • The new algorithm then determines a trajectory for the sensor that will maximize the amount of data it collects in high-priority regions, without neglecting lower-priority regions.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • At the moment, the algorithm depends on either some antecedent estimate of rates of change for an environment or researchers’ prioritization of regions. But in principle, a robotic sensor should be able to deduce rates of change from its own measurements, and the MIT researchers are currently working to modify the algorithm so that it can revise its own computations in light of new evidence. “

NASA Vesta Trek - 2 views

  •  
    NASA Releases Tool Enabling Citizen Scientists to Examine Asteroid Vesta Vesta Trek is a free, web-based application that provides detailed visualizations of Vesta, one of the largest asteroids in our solar system. NASA's Dawn spacecraft studied Vesta from July 2011 to September 2012. Data gathered from multiple instruments aboard Dawn have been compiled into Vesta Trek's user-friendly set of tools, enabling citizen scientists and students to study the asteroid's features. The application includes: -- Interactive maps with the ability to overlay a growing range of data sets including topography, mineralogy, abundance of elements and geology, as well as analysis tools for measuring the diameters, heights and depths of surface features and more. -- 3-D printer-exportable topography so users can print physical models of Vesta's surface. -- Standard keyboard gaming controls to manoever a first-person visualization of "flying" across the surface of the asteroid. "There's nothing like seeing something with your own eyes, but these types of detailed data-visualizations are the next best thing," said Kristen Erickson, Director, Science Engagement and Partnerships at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC.

Integrating Machine Learning for Planetary Science: Perspectives for the Next Decade - 3 views

Hey! We also have an added review paper on ML/AI and G&C -> https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42064-018-0053-6, weird they found those other papers instead ... I guess the keyword machine...
