Does that mean that we can see the AI implementations facebook uses?

They invented the format so I'm sure we'll see everything facebook does in the new ONNX format. From the placement of ads to whatever...

(sorry for the sarcastic comment)

And colliding with a tanker and being in the media for several days doesn't reveal your position?

I really get your point about stealth and would agree that it would make sense not to use radar. On the other hand, if you can't avoid collisions (for whatever reasons) your position will be known very quickly anyway.

First, I know this isn't a black or white issue but the problem I have with this is that I'm wondering if they are hiring people with the skills they want or are they hiring people with the skill to succeed in their test.

In theory, they should be the same. In practice... I don't know.

I'm convinced that they are. Sure, it's not perfect, but the set of qualities that impress me in a whiteboard are generally the same qualities that I look for in an engineer. Can you communicate well? How do you approach problems you've never seen before? Can you write readable code without thinking too hard about it?

I'm not really selecting for people who are really, really good with binary tries -- I'm selecting for people who display those qualities, the question is pretty much incidental.

Have you looked at orbiter (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/)?

I know they have some high resolution maps for several planets .

Go to download->optional high-resolution texture download (http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/mirrors/orbiter_radio/tex_mir...). I don't know the format so I could be mistaken but I think it also includes elevation maps.

I know Orbiter and I have been using textures from Celestia add-ons.

They are typically normal rectangular textures with the usual distortion.

Thanks for the pointer.

What makes you think that people will change when the worst effects will begin?

I don't know if I'm a pessimist or a realist.

Are your views consistent with the sum total of human behavioral history? If so, I'd say you're not being pessimistic at all.
