GP said he worked in traditional advertising then quit after a few years out of disgust, I don't think he's giving traditional advertisers a pass.

Simple solutions are great and I find seam carving elegant, but maybe that's an application where machine learning can shine? As globally the task is defined as displacing pixels while minimizing a perceptual loss, it should be reasona

I'm not affiliated with it but used the app for years, so I can recommend Akebi [1] for Android users. It let you do a search by path as well, and it's all local storage with no ads or feature bloat. [1] https://play.go

Hey Phil, not quite on topic but I've used some of your implem (both for hobby projects and for work) and the conciseness and clarity of your code is a delight. Many thanks!

The "Nerf--" paper [1] attempt to tackle that with a directly comparable method. You might also be interested in this [2] slightly different approach that focus on a more explicit decomposition. [1] https://nerfmm.acti

Strikingly beautiful! It's hard to get a sense of the scale of the scene, anyone happen to know how far away the webcam is from the peak?

I've not seen it mentioned yet so I'd be remiss not to link to undo tree [1] for vim. I tend to put my list of plug-ins on a diet over time, but undotree is one I always kept! Having a visual of the history (like in the article) m

Interesting decision to go with tensorflow on a new system. If you have no choice because of existing code it's understandable, though recent research has clearly shifted to pytorch [1]. Though if you're required to use tensorflow

It absolutely does, and Wikipedia gets my donation yearly for that. However there are legitimate questions about how much/few of that is dedicated to its core tasks: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon&#

This has little to do with trading, and a lot to do with algorithms. I recommend reading the articl, it is well written :)

Thanks for sharing! The project is certainly fun and the visuals complement that well

You're right to be wary, I re-read your use case and hand tracking alone won't cut it. However I still think that hand tracking _combined_ with audio input can be precise enough (above 99%). Here is an example of raw audio to midi

For non midi keyboards complemented with a webcam, hand tracking could do the trick, maybe paired with basic audio analysis to get the timing right. Some off the shelf tools are available [1] and pretty decent. It does go against your plan

Very cool work. A minor feedback, when pressing on the compass I expect the heading to reset to north. If it's supposed to be so already, that might be a bug on Firefox for Android

Interesting, while listening it sounded to me like the accent in François Truffaut's films. Then I realized that those films are closer to that recording than current times! (The 400 Blows is from 1959)

Over the last five years prominent self-driving companies have consistently over promised and under-delivered. I was quite optimistic for the approach that Starsky chose (but unfortunately couldn't bring to market [1]) with autonomous

Exactly the same thing played out for Oculus, so it we can't say that it's surprising. It is sad nonetheless

They note that the model has 12B parameters, which in terms of order of magnitude make it sit right between gpt 2 and 3 (1.5 and 170 respectively). With some tricks, you can run gpt 2 on good personal hardware, so this might be reachable as
