I think the challenge with making such small screws would be mostly around - Making your own or acquiring cutting tools that fit in such spaces, e.g. able to thread up to a shoulder at that scale. - Measuring your progress. I'm really

I found it striking how similar the system that I have settled into is to yours, and also the similarity of the benefits that you ascribed to it. I love having my /home/name/tmp folder and being able to delete everything in i

I applied a technique for quickly finding exact k nearest neighbors or nearest neighbors in a specific hamming distance using research[0] which includes a library + source code. The largest dataset that I tested was 10M 256 bit codes but th

This makes me wonder what those two holes in the shroud of USB A style connectors are for. After a bit of googling it looks as if they are to provide a bit of tension against removal. I'm sure you could repurpose them to lock the usb d

I wrote a MCTS Ultimate tic-tac-toe engine[0] over the last little while, and likewise don't know how to play the game well. Once thing I have been mulling over in my mind but haven't really explored is training an NN on the game

As well as Skylake CPUs now. Check in the "TSX-NI" table entry. http://ark.intel.com/products/88191/Intel-Core-i5-6600K-Proc...

I agree with you that these particles should be studied for their potential health and environmental impact, but combustion has been around much longer than humanity. I think that not all these particles are made equal and that being said I

I didn't read the article, and I'm no chemist, but I wouldn't be surprised if combustion produces carbon nanotubes. Buckyballs were discovered to be present in candle soot.

I wondered the same; it takes two hyperlinks to get to the project's home page where they have a larger version. http://web.media.mit.edu/~hangzhao/modulo.html

The liquid in a heat pipe can return to the hot end through capillary action, and I believe this is how heat pipes in computer equipment work. They can work in any orientation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_pipe

Yes, it would be, but interestingly I didn't interpret it that way. I'm not sure what the author intended but while reading I imagined malware using this technique for obfuscation, and the inability to run this code in virtual mac

Well this datastructure lets us find the k nearest neighbors in Hamming space (think binary vectors in binary vector space) quickly. If we can map features (for simplicity lets think of images) to points in hamming space such that similar f

I used this paper and associated code in my undergraduate thesis. After decoupling the C++ code from MATLAB I was able to make it into a library and use it to search binary features instead of the floating point features hashed with Localit

Actually, I really enjoy using Groovy as a Java REPL, when having to use Java. Your code is run in a Script class Most java code is valid Groovy code and it has some nice dynamic features, syntax sugar and has closures. I am currently using
