Quite a bit in audio, consumer or professional. I've had my Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 desktop speakers for nearly a decade. Audio Technica are another trusted brand, especially for monitor headphones.

You're thinking of muzak. Vaporwave was a pastiche and explored/deconstructed that sound intentionally as a form of artistic expression.

I see — have you tried Jabra? Their in-ear headphones have a great pass-through mode (as well as ANC/others) that work really well for me when I'm running.

Wondering if he means the thresholds are off. I imagine erring on the side of caution is the smarter thing to do re: liability. Imagine if a cyclist couldn't hear a quieter electric car and turned into its path because the headphones a

The lazy part of my brain screams “use this instead of dealing properly with nested objects!” In a production setting I’d be worried about consistency from the base to result layers if based on LLM transpositioning.

Perhaps it can be used to drop water balloons full of Gatorade on parched travellers. Or, to extend the earlier concept, miniaturised atom bombs on beatniks.

Great article. One note: it’s the Metropolitan Museum of Art, not Modern Art (you’re thinking of MoMA).

You aren't wrong. Tanzania != Malaysia, as another commenter seemed to think. Their version of Sharia is nowhere near as strict. Incidents of violence are the product of opportunity and generally perpetrated through in-group policing.

Thanks - I’ll check it out.

Yes - not sure how this has been overlooked. For Python/torch I tend to use cv2 with an albumentations augmentation pipeline, which is much faster than PIL/torch transforms.

FFTs can be useful when constructing CNN pipelines in unsupervised domain adaptation too. Fourier domain adaptation (FDA) uses the calculated amplitude of a target set to modify the source (train) set. Cool and quick to implement.

a) is not just technical - it's also about barrier to entry. A more user-friendly solution might have allowed custom handles. That's not the point. Meta want to gobble up other forms of personal data with Threads and retain its va

I love Manna. It strikes such a tongue-in-cheek deal between outsized, sort of ridiculous outcomes that come off as completely bonkers but still somehow make you think. "Automated management software replaces fast food workers" --

That’s… not true. Action and speech aren’t at odds. They’re not even clearly delineated. Where would basic planning fit here? Is it a “faux demonstration” (??) for engineers to talk through their ideas for approaching a problem before attem

“Useless eater” is a term I suppose I’m disappointed, but not surprised by, at this point.

It’s cultural. I’m dual national US/UK - there’s less of a focus on individual rights generally. Rocking the boat is frowned upon in a lot of circles. Drives me nuts.

I don’t know. I’m very much waiting for the Cetacean Translation Initiative (CETI) to release their first set of results.
