I would not compare a fancy NN algorithm to Bicubic interpolation, even as an example. Bicubic sucks. If someone really wants to get a decent high-res upscale of an image via "conventional" means (like GIMP) they would probably us

Good job on visualization. For something with hundreds of moving pieces, it's pretty easy to see what's going on on the board.

The moderately impressive part of these algorithms is the fact that they can "learn" a style from just one image. However, in reality they are not nearly as universal as these papers make them seem. Pretty much all my attempts to

If there are two servers/services that communicate via JSON and they use different parsers, these types of issues can lead to rather nasty problems. Even if both parties fail gracefully on their own. This gets even worse if your softwa

Withing a small hosting provider this might be pretty simple. Attacker might lease a bunch of new servers and get the IP that was recently released. Then they could launch a DDoS to force address resolution in their favor. It's a bit f

The overall complexity was still order of magnitude smaller. There were no transpilers, shims, or complicated multi-step builds, and I knew every single library I was using.

Back in the day the two common use cases were expert systems and natural language processing (which are somewhat related). In this day and age I would most likely use Prolog for rule-based simulations or high-level game AI.
