I have encountered a similar thing, with a university professor somehow supporting the finding that esoteric stickers are having an effect on patients, because they block EMF: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.338

And where is the use of that? (I guess somewhere, we're at deepfakes et al, but this site still seems to advertise the concept)

Haven't looked into these, but what is the proposed advantage over just picking an image (with a much smaller model maybe?) from the database?
274.

some questions: - on which dataset was it trained? - how big is the model? and finally: can one compare the result to just picking the closest faces from the training set?

The people of Venezuela elected the US government? That's news to me!

why? The installer could clearly show a picture that this is how it works? People are not that stupid.

the problem is that most of these are horrendously oversized for private use. So I would like to have a commercial agitator to create yeast dough; these aren't even that expensive for their small series and local production - compared

so? Maybe get some more employees into the public service and if the funds go bust make sure that noone ever can try to play the game by making land public for eternity (land != buildings!).

and of course: it's javascript! because literally every other community would have no problem if their doc-generator got unmaintained, because it would probably run for another ten years...

imho this observation of you just adds to every "stablecoins are a scam"-post. If there is indeed no significant outflow out of the stable-crypto system, I don't know what's stands in the way of companies to just print m

ok, but normally banking has established protocols? If this is the main use-case of RPA-startups, Microsoft does not compete in any way. I don't see a lot of reasons (name one for me) for a legitimate business to pay an RPA-startup ove

that's why it said "either: 1,2,3". "Was there even a product" sounds very much like "might as well not exist at all, and no one would notice if they didn't."

if it's just scraping data: why don't hook it directly into the DB then?

But I'm quite sure, the ones before used SINIX... And nowadays all the digital electronic parts in these old cars are eWaste because nobody can configure them anymore. And looking at the D-guy with his automatic transmission this is mo

iirc this even happened to BMW, where their config software ran on notebooks with Siemens(!) UNIX up to mid 2005 or so.

are there any schematics available?

another example is Moodle. It's horrible spaghetti code (PHP as used in 2000, including addons relying on specific database schemata) and if you google for it you'll find a nice forum thread, where a lot of LMS "consultants&q

well there's no reason why, containers can't just be a compiler + libc? Noone stops you from removing the GNU coreutils from your image or build your own. However I don't know if stripping these (a whopping 30MB for most Ubun

How on earth could they only install Ubuntu 20.04, because everything else was unavailable. Last I checked, you could install Debian from a set of CDs which got regular point releases. Having something with decent power like a Core 2 Quad y

probably, because even today you can drop the program into a container and it will work - I guess a working X11 server is going to stay around for some time too! The only problem is 3D acceleration, but good luck running DX8 and older apps

although spack had a lot of problems with tensorflow for years... But yes, in general it works best nowadays and with clingo coming up, I guess it will eventually beat NixOS (because hopefully browser-like dependency trees become fast then)

this is already happening. maybe not in Nature, but all over the "small" papers of this world (and so also with any Nature derivatives). There's people milling the same article with nonsense "results" through 3 jour

I think this is a problem of the mainstream conception seeing the future browser mainly as a monopolized, walled garden (compared to GNU/Linux, which nowadays would do everything one wanted from a computer and more) with the canvas bei

plants are nifty little machines, which - while their efficeny might not be optimal - also produce all their parts. Go look at one of the papers doing Re-based CO2-dissociation and shop for the chemicals!

I think the main difference between any toaster manufacturer and Nvidia/Apple is: at some point toaster manufacturers don't even supply their R&D with the means necessary to actually make new stuff nowadays. E.g. if the head o

thanks for switching discourse like this. I think the defining problem of politics (and by extension change) nowadays is that people don't call out antisocial behavior anymore. Nearly every society in the past did this one way or anoth

Now, I started a PhD (on a full time research position) and I feel the same. Probably I would have jumped ship last year if it wasn't for Covid (which made unemployment a pretty bad situation) but now I feel too invested and yet don&#x
