Wouldn't breaking up a planetary defense worthy asteroid into medium to even large boulder size asteroids be considered a win? Whats the limit on asteroid size that can make it through the atmosphere? And even then, intuitively, it wou

Ugh puke in my mouth, but I agree. HF is too useful to not be nerfed the toxicity that is modern big tech.

This is an interestingly surreal 'error' mode. So surreal its suspicious. It strikes me that there could be keys to how OpenAI is training ChatGPT in failure modes like this.

Think of it like a GitHub for sharing datasets and weights. I'd like 'huggingface' to the face hugger alien. You can just rip off the front and back of models and train them on new data. Although I've been told explicitl

This is such a weird headline and dataset. It's not a very large model, esp for geospatial. And the data set is microscopic, not even 1k image tiles. A typical geospatial UNET would be trained on any where from 10x to 100x this much da

Its the largest * published* geospatial model. There are plenty of models being developed daily with more than 100m parameters. I think its just that there is a dearth of publishing on the advances in geospatial ml.

So the big issue is can be summed up as one present across many domains of ML, but particularly challenging in remote sensing. ML has seen rapid advances in spaces where foundational models capture the variance of a domain the latent space

If the models aren't available in a repo for download do they actually exist?

Like... no? InfSar (InSar, SAR, whatever we're calling it these days) isn't a drop in replacement for anything. Its really neither here nor there when it comes to the utility of other dataset. Infsar is amazing, dgmw, but its stan

Sometimes. Other times when they aren't confident in their estimate of the risk, they respond extremely conservatively.

This seems relevant. So assumedly they would have lithium ion fire fighting equipment on board as well as the appropriate training. At a max capacity of 6 vehicle that hardley seems like significantly more training or equipment. Maybe a cou

There are special chemical fire extinguishers to deal specifically with this. I'd bet dollars to donuts this came out of an insurance exercise where it wasn't necessarily the scale of the risk, but rather the uncertainty around th

Cotton or linen only in hot weather. Not that thick fruit of the loom stuff but some good fabric that is thin enough to breathe, but it's still cotton so it's wicking moisture. Evaporation results in a cooling effect so long as th

My clients are home owners who are looking to do what it takes to avoid a non-renewal and mitigate/ reduce their personal wildfire risk. We give them the reports and data necessary to challenge a non-renewal. He can hop on our website

The safer from wildfire standard and the wildfire prepared home standard would both identify the storage of those kinds of materials within the 0-5 foot zone as a hazard significant enough to not pass. To you it may not seem significant but

I think this is a total misunderstanding of how value is created in relationships. The value created can be greater than the sum of its parts.
