   If only there were a current event that illustrates the danger of this line of thinking when it comes to things that can spiral out of control exponentially...

   Yeah this kind of gaming is probably widespread. UChicago is known for "artificially" driving down their acceptance rate with lots of decision rounds and marketing. Cornell isn't releasing their numbers at all this year - I&#

   Either you are being disingenuous or you have a very naive understanding of the quote. I could just as easily say: "work sets you free" doesn't sound so unreasonable! How could anyone take issue with that?!

   Well assuming you looked it up, clicked on the first Google result, and read Fourteen Words, 14, or 14/88, is a reference to the fourteen-word slogan "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white chi

   Compilers are really smart, so in many cases they will vectorize without even asking - no hassle involved. Some examples here: https://llvm.org/docs/Vectorizers.html

    Exactly - I'm not sure how anyone can say with a straight face that the Dijon-mustard-tan-suit-latte-salute network has ever been anything but the #1 producer of bullshit on TV.

    Not all glass is the same. Pure silica glass will pass UV, the soda-lime glass your windows are made of won't.

    Does anyone know how LED-based UVC lamps like [1] with >300 LEDs can sell on Amazon for less than $100 when it appears the individual LEDs are fairly expensive? On DigiKey/Mouser the cheapest price I can find is still more than $1&#

    True to an extent, but they still definitely spend more resources on "target" schools. Looking at the MIT EECS jobs mailing list I see two Apple networking events this week. And I know Apple in particular has worked directly with

    If you could harvest it with 100% efficiency you'd still save less than $2000 in electricity (assuming 5e9 joules in a lightning bolt).

    Would be nice if the image processing was implemented locally. The operations used don't seem too complicated for javascript + canvas.

    Does this do object detection as the title suggests? From the README, it seems like it only does classification.
