But how do you cancel something without a handle to that something? What (I think) you are suggesting implies globally scoped, mutable variables that affect control flow dramatically. Sounds really hard to reason about and very munch anti-G

Some fingerprints and/or editing artifacts survive this. Search for "rebroadcast attack".

This is exactly a technique used in media forensics. You can even tell things like crop region and lens geometry (due to subpixel statistics and chromatic aberration). Train a resnet on tens/hundreds of thousands of images and you&#x27

It's difficult to extricate for the reasons you mentioned - various textures interfere with extracting it. But it's also surprisingly difficult to purge once you extract that fingerprint. Astronomers (I presume) do much more in th

I actually can think of uses for this. One, it would be great as an around-the-house automation UI. Like a universal remote on steroids. Two, I can see kits of these (piles of mobos and peripherals) being super handy for hackathons, robotic

What do you mean, "lose mindshare"? Docker is one of the absolute best things to happen to ML. My work is largely algo integration - I take academics' ML code and bundle it for API consumption. Before this, I was a bench chem

Using Ray distributed would be a better stress test. Computing primes this way probably isn't the best way to saturate cores. You are spending a lot of time doing python vm operations vs pure number crunching. Using numeric arrays chun

I was thinking the same. Get lots of pumps in, drill into the sand bar and pump water to fluidize it. But it's probably still a scale thing, all the proportions involved in this problem are ludicrous.

I think it's supposed to be some kind of latent vector space where the coordinate maps to the sounds' timbre. So in theory, you can move seamlessly between sounds. But I seem to only be able to snap to nearest sound. Edit: they us

I always thought that the "fun-shapes" macaroni had better mouth-feel than plain elbows. Apparently that is due to the right-angles and the term-of-art is "Toothsinkability". Radiatore are currently my reigning favorite,

Not gonna lie, it looks delicious but has kind of an H.R. Giger vibe. The pasta. Not the sea slug. Though all sea slugs looks like they were made during evolution's goth phase.

This just feels like law of unintended consequences waiting to happen. Like the use cases are super cool, like using it with FUSE to basically redirect a file system view. But it feels like asking for trouble. You would need to know the int

The tool lazydocker also will construct a pseudo dockerfile from the history. It's good enough that most of the time you can just copy it and get a working dockerfile out of it. It's also super awesome in general.

That is exactly what we do. You can write a python tool in like a dozen lines to cast to and from. There is also a way to use one of the built in protobuf tools to do it but you also have to point at the proto files yourself. I think there

Good point! I think I mentally chucked it with the square knot under "knots that should already be in most people's inventory" but you are right, that is definitely worth learning, since there are so many useful variants. So

Long term use of steroids is known to cause all kinds of nasty side effects. Prednisone I've actually found rather useful for bootstrapping myself out of depression but it tends to induce mania. Going for longer than a few days results

Right. This seems like a good pattern to have. Much like app/framework specific config, I much prefer to have everything under ~/.local/ than a myriad of ~/.foo dotfiles. It's only one endpoint to route, and you don

unsigned three = 1; To me, that is a 20 foot tall neon orange flashing Chesterton's fence. I think, "surely there is a very strong reason for this." Maybe not a good reason, but definitely a compelling one.

Turns out, machines also have some sort of duty cycle. Most mechanical contraptions can run faster than spec, at the expense of wear, heat, jams, and ruined parts. So you can't even measure machines in widgets/hour without more in

Deep fake propaganda is not really a problem. I've spent the past two years working in the media forensics space. Deep fakes ended up being much less of a threat than anticipated. Anti deep fake models are quite proficient now too. The

How do we know evidence is valid in a court case? Chain of custody and documentation. Add to that some commitment scheme and trusted time-stamping and publish in real time and you are most of the way there to extremely veridical publishing.
