perceptual hashing is one approach to image similarity, there are many others. The au courant way of doing ANN search is to use embeddings from the powerful pre-trained models. In this tool the creator uses OpenAI's CLIP.

This is the standard bogeyman used by h1b haters (for lack of a better word). The median h1b wage for 2022 was ~95K [?] IIRC and h1b holders are usually at the top of salary tiers. [?] Unfortunately don't have the source handy. While i

I think your thesis is better posited as Complexity != Complicatedness i.e. a complex system can be uncomplicated (eg. iPhone), and a simplex system can become very complicated (eg. the US tax code). IMHO Complexity is a function of the num

ty. I think you made my point more eloquently than I could. Agreed that h1b has _several_ flaws, but then so has SS, Medicare/Medicaid, VA etc. Those aren't shining examples of good governance either. All its flaws notwithstandin

IMO this is a gross generalization and exaggeration. Sure some abuse occurs in H1b, but it has also been the path of entry for many immigrants. While I am not certain, I believe Nadella, Pichai, Musk, and many others came in via the h1b. Ov

Thanks, but enough neuroscience studies have shown that our decisions are for the most part, on autopilot, qv: Kahneman, Tversky et al. All our "explanations" are post-hoc rationalization i.e. reality is the narrative we tell ours

I think explainability is overrated (to use a Trumpian expression) & this fixation with coming up with explanations for inferences is a red herring. We cannot explain our own thoughts and actions and tend to ascribe logic & reason t
