My Compliments To The Chef

[mikewlange]

I don't think I've ever opened an issue to give a compliment. Well done. Love this project.

It's not only conceptually brilliant, it's modeled and coded well. And it works. Right away. You've provided all the tools to learn the research, which is the inherent point of research from the get go. And when we're researching things that work with code and are based on code, the code should bloody damn well work. So much is lost on so many when theory is not applied. That's why 80% of people hate math. Theory it taught to young. I digress, back to research.

Why this is never criteria for acceptance in a call for papers is beyond me. Corporate research is usually good, which is not taking away from the unique awesomeness of this project. But academic researchers should model their cs research on this. We schmucks out here in the private sector who deliver products or don't eat always release our open source ready to go. Should be one command or click deployment. Anyway, thanks for doing it right. And the dual encoders were spot on. Along with the seamless gpu/cpu integration.

I should start a company that does nothing but complete research papers with working commercial grade software. And for free. An Apache for the little guy. One offs. There has to be funding for that somewhere. In the days of "do no wrong today or yesterday", there has to be and entity with money that agrees. I work for a tiny startup reg a+ fund who gives away 10% of all earnings to keep people in their homes because we buy them outright. There is money is giving it away. After coding product after product for 25 years, it would be nice to build someone eases research for once. Yea, all ideas are stolen, but never branded that way.

I know, "wrong place for these comments". But we programmers are humans too. We're doing a damnedest to supplant them, but until then we need praise and justification for our work. I'll take it wherever i can. And they are never in my issue queue.

Keep up the good work ladies and gents.
