Pardon my ignorance, but if utility is the test for determining what is good and bad, wouldn't having those labels provided as input cause a sort-of recursive formula where one needs to bootstrap the whole thing on some other ethical s

Possibly lack of waterproofing leads to constantly getting cold water in contact with their bodies and they freeze to death.

A swing with rigid rods (as opposed to ropes or chains) can potentially spin all the way around its hinges. If you ignore friction and keep adding energy at the right frequency (once it becomes a rotary system instead of a pendulum, it will

I've been led to believe that the reason why a lot of written exams include the instruction "read all questions before starting on the problems" is due to this subconscious "cooking on the back-burner" effect. Probl

Sounds like a traveling salesman problem... Perhaps if you look at a dual graph where the edges are collapsed into nodes and the nodes are stretched out to become edges? Then the problem statement of "visiting each city only once"

Maybe this will be good for tourism. The TSA digging into your laptop or phone on a whim (or racial profiling) might not be a welcoming experience for a lot of people. Brazil had a special queue for US visitors in early 2000s, forcing them

Interesting. Lemons are called "Limão Árabe" in Brazil (Limão being the word for Lime). Perhaps that was due to Columbus then?

Since the spokes would buckle at the merest whiff of compressive stress, we can assume the hub to be "hanging" by the spokes that attach to the top of the wheel. However, if that was the only force acting on the wheel, it would al

If someone lies in a way that constitutes liebel, even online, one could have them brought to justice - potentially. With an LLM or a diffusion model - If it produces illegal content who is to be held accountable? I think that is a perhaps

Back in early 2000s there were some supposed Early Streamer Emission (ESE) rods that claimed to reduce the need for rods by supposedly initiating the upward stream earlier, causing interception further away from the rod location. That tech

Their test scene and side-by-side comparison across camera settings was a great feature. I would never have purchased any of my standalone cameras if it hadn't been for DPReview.

If you're freaking out, try this: Ask ChatGPT to draw a triangle in ASCII, using a code block. Then a square, then a Pentagon, and hexagon.

AFAIK CV-Dazzle is a hand-crafted adversarial pattern for facial detection, specifically by a Viola-Jones style detector of Haar cascades. The painted patterns invert the brightness relative to the first few filter passed to put you under t

Another nice property of the FFT is that convolution in image space is multiplication in frequency space, so multiplying the FFT with an image of a Gaussian (or any other linear kernel such as an edge detector) is exactly equivalent to appl

Indeed, the frequencies get higher further away from the center of the FFT image with the center being the "DC" component of the signal. The brightness, as you note, correspond to the amplitude of a given frequency. you can think

Whether facts exist in the natural world or some other realm e.g. a made-up email server, the æther, the spheres, etc. shouldn't matter. It's likely just easier to prove some to be false outright, based on the claimed storage medi

Is there a reliable method for removing only the influence of grain in an image, automatically? If so, adding grain back into other images ought to be feasible task to solve with even a shallow neural net (since you don't even need t
