If you can get the libraries installed then the code should work. The only risk is that Coral is not particularly well maintained and you might need to downgrade to e.g. an older version of Debian. Feel free to post an issue if you run into

Well, a small shoutout for my project to facilitate YOLO on the EdgeTPU without any dependencies on Ultralytics. Some contributors helped a bit with more recent versions, but it seems like all you need is to twiddle a few of the input shape

I saw a pretty impressive cheat tool that could apparently grab the screen from the live share, process text on the screen in response to an obscure keybind and then run it through OCR to solve (or just look up a LC solution). At that point

I’ve done the “at home” test for ML recently for a small AI consulting firm. It's a nice approach and got me to the next round, but the way the company evaluated it was to go through the questions and ask "fundamental ML bingo&quo

This is an interesting question. I've seen it implemented in a couple of ways. One of the simplest is stronger blinding of applications so you aren't biased by irrelevant personal information. For example this has been pretty effe

Newer Sony Walkmans have lossless support and some can also act as a USB DAC. Unfortunately the UIs are still terrible (no search, only oversensitive alphabet scroll?), proprietary cables and the device slowly re-indexes every boot. Organiz

Online specifically avoids this by randomising the grids, except in some modes like mirrors where you can't do much to preserve symmetry.

There is nothing that says you can't, but you have to convince the consulate that you did not have intent to immigrate when you applied/interviewed for the E3 and entered the US. The restriction is similar for the J1. You can&#x27

It depends what you mean by useful. On its own, all you're doing is taking pictures of the sky and figuring out where the camera was pointing (and its field of view). Where it's useful is calibrating the pointing direction of othe

I would add it also uses an ancient analog TV for manual sighting in combination with the GUI for semi-auto centroiding. I always thought that was funny to see, but it seems to work well enough. Also, inserting that baffle is somewhat terri

It would work on the ground, I believe the pilots (normally) had to get a fix before takeoff. You do need to see the sky without cloud cover, but spy satellites were less of a concern back then so less risk of being overflown during a dayli

This is ubiquitous in baking at least. Also in confectionery where phase changes and structures are important (the canonical example being tempering). The extreme is probably Modernist cuisine. You can look at the book "ratio" whi

I found a good channel called Chronova Engineering who made a few videos about machining the mechanisms by hand. They use a couple of off the shelf parts like tiny ball bearings for the demonstrator (instead of jewels), but almost everythin

Basically any good SSD manufacturer is fine, but I've found that the enclosure controller support is flaky with Sonoma. Drives that appear instantly in Linux sometimes take ages to enumerate in OSX, and only since upgrading to Sonoma.

There’s a lot of IF like Eat Me or Midnight Swordfight which really lean on excellent writing, black comedy and wordplay. LLMs are still largely terrible at humour. Anything by Chandler Groover is recommended: https://ifdb.org&#x

The only reliable route I’ve found is to use SSH clone. HTTPS is lousy and as you mention, is not resumable. Works fine in Antarctica even over our slower satellite. Doesn’t help if you actually drop, but you can clone to a remote and then

It does on iOS, but I believe the onus is on the app developer to enable the autofill feature in the form, or at least make sure that the app hints to iOS that it can be filled with a password. I'm making that assumption because there

What counts as gaming? In my physics degree, for coding courses, we were allowed to use library algorithms directly provided we cited them. We were mostly tested on how (not) buggy and usable our program was. If you don't care what too

Someone already mentioned Aza Raskin, but the organisation you should look up is Earth Species Project. It’s a fairly open question and fairly philosophical - do the semantics of language transcend species? Certainly there is evidence that

You might have used the wrong model. They tend to be location specific, so if you live in eg Australia make sure you get the appropriate pack. It does skew to more common species - there is a very long tail in species recognition.

Have a look at xeno-canto as well, a large repo of animal sounds. It's more of a general archive than specifically for “understanding”, for example it’s often used to train audio recognition models. https://xeno-canto.org&#x

Having a grid makes it pretty difficult to "buy clean energy" because all generation is sort of laundered together. If you pay for a clean energy supplier, obviously there is no way to force that you only get electrons pushed by
