It's not even really a "hash" in the sense that there's no predictable relationship of the outputs of similar inputs. The "hash" of my DNA is going to be far more similar to people in Seattle than to people in

LOL - that's exactly the use case I was thinking of. But wouldn't an AI have to be trained with lots of examples of the item in question to get a high quality detection? If so, it might not be able to find that one image that an

I'd put in a retaining wall along the sidewalk, level the surface on top, and cover it with shrubbery and paving stones. https://weekendroady.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/dallas5.jpg I'm sure that would p

A few years back I was at lunch in the courtyard at work and a little, somewhat runtish crow kept coming up and standing right next to me. I eventually worked out that he was doing it because a bigger crow was harassing him, but he knew th

I got a traffic ticket on vacation in Germany a year or two ago. All the car rental place gave me was a timestamp, but I was able to use that and my Facebook location history to find out where it happened.

About 20 years ago I was married to someone whose father had a wrecking yard. I was out there and noticed some computer parts, so I dug around and found the major parts of a PDP-11, including one of those TTY printer/keyboard consoles

Reminds me a bit of a weekend project I did a few years back: When I was about 6, my dad went out and bought what would be the family computer for half a decade, a TI-99/4a. The thing that stuck in my craw was that even though Apple a

Not strictly backpacking, but I went on a car-free trip to Italy a few years back and thought it would be a great idea to buy new shoes for the occasion. After two weeks of walking eight hours a day, the blisters finally healed.
