Something that I didn't notice until I lived in the US was the implicit availability of standard ingredients, like graham crackers. So many classic American recipes are very simple but assume you have access to that one brand of canned

Zurich does pretty well with light rail, trams and buses. Public transport is very good there. Two more reasons are that the city isn't that big, so you're in easy walking distance of some sort of connection, and the terrain isn&#

Yes, I've worked in this space for dogs (for re-identifying animals that have been vaccinated for rabies). It's a very difficult problem, but mostly because getting/scraping good training data is difficult. You really want lo

I was going to ask, isn't this basically callgrind? I used that a lot in grad school to optimise our group's code (on an iMac no less). Incredibly useful and there are some nice visualisation / inspection tools.

I forget which package I used, but it runs in Docker and can output a sub file directly (and it can auto-translate). Usually I generate the native language + English to compare, since the native generally has better transcription, but it he

Foundation models like DINO learn representations of their inputs. That is, they generate very high-dimensional numerical descriptions of what you put into them. The models aren't trained on labelled data, but they're trained on s

It depends on your local law. Where I live, we have mixed use, office residential, general office and warehousing. All broadly allow home building of various types. Going the other way, the rules are quite detailed as to what sort of commer

Nothing is inherently wrong with virtualenv. All these tools make virtual environments and offer some way to manage them. But virtualenv doesn't solve the problem of dependency management.

I don't know about much better, but I like Whisper's ability to subtitle foreign language content on YouTube that (somehow) doesn't have auto-generated subs. For example some relatively obscure comedy sketches from Germany

The closest I've got to avoiding the emoji plague is to instruct the model that responses will be viewed on an older terminal that only supports extended ascii characters, so only use those for accessibility. A lot of these issues must

I really like having the mobile version for fast searches, often faster than online. Useful for example while hiking or other out -of-network places. Even some big stores have zero signal inside and sometimes I want to look up things. You

Yeah Faster Payments is great, though it's relatively new in the scheme of banking and was explicitly designed to speed up small transfers (though now up to 1M I think?). My point was that the legacy system here is comparable to other

For ACH, it's the scheduling and batching that makes it slow. The transfer itself should be instant but often my bank sends it out around midnight. This is why Venmo and Zelle are so popular. You can also modify/cancel a bank tran

What's the timeline for this? My undergrad notes from ~15 years ago have held up without obvious degradation. Those are mostly Jetstream inks on generic paper (some Oxford notebook). I swapped to fountain pens at some point when I disc

Jetstreams are great. Worth pointing out that you can buy refills in various form factors, including Parker style that'll fit the Rotring 600: https://www.jetpens.com/Uni-SXR-600-Jetstream-Ballpoint-Pen-... I also reco

Unless I misread, the lens is integrated, but Bosch recommends an optical window to protect the device. The integration guide is pretty comprehensive. Many fan-based air sensors require some specific enclosure considerations to separate the

Only if your deck has a rotationally symmetric back. A lot of decks are oriented with pictures or logos. Tarot decks almost always do to allow inverted readings (and you'd get a few more bits out from the major arcana).

There are usage limits, but the argument is that unless you're writing and modifying large swathes of code in YOLO mode, you don't hit them. At least for what I would call a small and tedious task. I'm thinking "write a

Box format degeneracy has been a footgun for computer vision developers since forever. You can define a rectangle as two corner coordinates, a coordinate + width + height. Since "one coordinate" can be a corner or the center, ther

The biggest issue is the sheer separation required. EHT operates in mm wave light, visible is 4-6 orders of magnitude shorter wavelength. There are several smaller scale interferometers. They can already do quite impressive things because e

It's a lot easier to reason about this using angular resolution, because that's normally what the diffraction limit formula is in reference to. If you know the angular diameter of the system (α) and the wavelength (say λ=500 nm fo
