It's probably a reference to radio parts. Their radio was down for a lot of time, and they missed iceberg warnings issued by other ships.

They used a big SUV to get rough road capability, necessary for the Grand Challenge, and to have the space to rack all the equipment they needed. 13 years later, an Nvidia Jetson (a single board computer) has more computing power than their

>If nothing moves, there can be no collision. If no train on the line moves, sure. But stoping just the one train won't improve safety, and was historically the cause of many accidents. I remember just the one in Shanghai in 201x. O

There's a one way valve on the water pipe coming into in your home, precisely to avoid contamination. It's right before the water meter.

A few remarks: In the "Doing bad digital humanities with color vectors", if you consider colors as 3D vectors, which they do, you'll see that summing enough uniformly sampled vectors always gives medium browns, because that&#

Did you just earnestly advocate for a government mandated ride-sharing app ? And you main argument is that if it's government mandated, "user acquisition costs and marketing costs will be zero", so the users get lower fares ?

That's just code to generate the examples, an example of synthetic data. He could just have written down the expected output instead of doing that.

For people that already work with ImageMagick and would prefer an ImageMagick Poisson blend solution, this is a great resource: http://im.snibgo.com/seamlpm.htm It contains the windows .bas script that makes ImageMagick imp

This is an aspect of autonomous vehicles that I had never considered before. Given each AV has complete 360 degrees camera coverage (for detection of other vehicles, if Tesla, for debugging, if others which rely primarily on Lidar) and this

Nice work! I love transfer learning and how easy it makes creating binary (two categories) image classifiers that perform well with very little training. The new Kaggle Deep Learning lessons ( https://www.kaggle.com/learn&#x2

VCs would not throw wads of cash at a business plan that uses RC planes. But have it use quad-copters, and boom! They make it rain. It's the novelty of it, basically. We're not yet inoculated, as a society, to the charm of quad-co

You would have been right if ML would be as accessible as your hypothetical "utility service" implies. It is not, and getting farther from it. If you compare ML to electricity, we're still in the stages where a few players ha

I found Arrival great, until the second part, where things stopped making sense. That part felt badly written. The ending was a let down because of that.

I would argue the opposite. The poor are incentivized to use free (but containing ads) products. The rich can pay their way out of those attention seeking ads.

If anyone does that, some very professional people who love hunting radio emitters (so much that they've made it their life's work) will start triangulating him. They'll have a blast, and they're very good at it. And the

I do not think NYT reporters have magic sources, access or analytic ability. They seem to have used public sources of information as sources. The Houthis, or their allies, should have enough analysts to piece the same sources together and a

There's not much more going on with a physical layer jammer. That's all this jammer does. It jams the GPS carrier band so that a receiver can't "hear" the satellites. You can put together such a jammer from a lab si

You don't even need an adversarial attack method to fingerprint or watermark a proprietary dataset. If the dataset consists of images, you could just watermark them, or mark them using steganography. The watermark would appear as rando

It seems like it would add similar behaviour to simulated annealing. I wonder how this applies to SGD or batch gradient descent, which is commonly used in machine learning applications. Something to try on a toy dataset like MNIST :)

Could be just YC-level focus on execution. That was enough for a lot of previous companies.

Definitely. Look at the ImageNet ICVLR competition. Hand-built models can't approach SoTA results built with CNNs.

I've noticed a Techcrunch comment that makes this fight about software patents and states that forbiding them would be a good solution. I think that's a very wrong view to take. The software patent fight is worth fighting, but do

Don't forget that the 24 month warranty is one of the stated reasons for justifying the sale price difference for the same product between the US and the EU. If it's increased, manufacturers will just increase their EU prices so t

And after a while, maybe we could pool resources together for projects such as infrastructure, bridges, fire stations, that are too expensive for any single person, but from whom we would all benefit! It would be great! We could all give so

If this isn't guerilla PR for HackerOne, I don't know what it is. It's set up just the perfect way to make us answer "oh but that's just normal salesmanship and reasonable". Well played if true.
