About 9 months ago I wrote a search engine based on Torch, OpenCV, a custom NLP (thanks word2vec) and Elasticsearch to quickly find adult videos based on linguistic descriptions of graphical content rather than the textual description on a

Hey, I ported apt to Android 4.4 a while back and was hoping to eventually get to design it in a way that it would be a suitable backend for a third party app store that could also safely install core components and patches to phones that a

Actually, you saved me a post! Thanks! Although quick note, a lot of work is being done in a private repo until it passes the "clean room" test, after which it will be pushed to the public repos. :)

The original research publication[1] only seems to determine the possibility of complete QMC simulations on classical computational resources. While this shows we can't fully simulate portions of certain quantum systems on classical

This, while probably seemingly unimportant to a lot of people, is extremely great news for a project I'm a part of! We're working on a full iPhone emulator based on QEMU, and currently, while we are able to boot into early userspa

I've always thought that depth sensing tech could be used to help offload some of the nasty hacks floating around in the world of AR, computer vision, and spatial navigation. I just never realized how much it would speed up developme

Much of my research on number theory and primality relies on a deep understanding in axiomatic set theory. Based on other news sites I've read that attempt to cover naive set theory, I was pleasantly surprised at the article's fai

I use QubesOS at home on a fairly powerful server box and I personally find it quite enjoyable for my usage. Most of the monitors here are hooked up to thin clients with GigE connections to the server. When the server powers on, it automati

Can I recommend using a hypervisor like Xen? While it is technically not an "OS", I find that it offers some of the same security advantages a server-based microkernel OSes do. Although DomUs aren't technically privileged use

Looks like this site may go into some more detail of how the specific packages interact to create a "standard" Linux distribution more than the LFS series does; but I'm not sure how much has changed regarding that in recent t

I've always thought of it this way: Over millions and millions of years of evolution, many mammals (including us) adapted our vision centers to quickly process large chunks of environmental information by developing a series of benefic

I had issues making calls on my Freerunner, sure, and it certainly wasn't very user friendly (even flashing replicant to it resulted in a very buggy daily driver) but I did enjoy the phone for what it was; a fun platform to hack around

Just the basics. Plugged in my 'scope and started probing some debug headers that looked a lot like they'd be for UART, check if one is Tx and is sending out data, figure out the baud rate, hook up Rx, Tx, and GND on my UART dongl

Wow! I actually wasn't aware that TIMI existed until just now! All I've ever really known is ARM's work on the Jazelle hardware subsystem. I'll have to check this out more in the morning though!
