I believe resistive losses are the primary limiting factor, not insulation.

Is it possible to collect actual observations to confirm or deny the results of this modeling? A key part of any well formed scientific hypothesis is that it can be validated or disproved by real world experimentation or observation (falsif

Another competitor that has AFAIK the best unit pricing is: https://pixian.ai

(I'm a dev on the project.) We have another background-removal service, ClippingMagic.com, that is built around an editor to let you fix the errors in the automatic result. You may want to give it a try for your mineral photos.

(I'm a dev.) Not everyone has macOS, and running a DL model in your browser is not exactly mainstream. Which is why segment leader remove.bg gets an estimated 35M in monthly organic traffic. Also, we believe our results are significant

(I'm a dev on the project.) It is free while in beta. We've not implemented pricing yet, as we are a small team and just shipped the latest version of the model.

(I'm a dev on the project.) We have no plans to jack up prices. We see the whole market moving to low-margin cost+ pricing and we want to lead rather than follow. If we raised prices later, we'd only expose ourselves to being disr

(I'm a dev on the project.) The privacy policy is an old and generic one that we use across a bunch of sites. It should be updated. Our retention policy on this site is as stated on the front page FAQ. After five days, the records are

(I'm a dev on the project.) We've not decided on the exact term of the credits, but they will be long-lasting, so you can pay $5 for 250 images and use that over the course of a few years. We'd make them non-expiring, but tha

In the third paragraph, the author writes that COVID was probably "cooked up in the kitchen of nature", and links to an article to support that assertion. But the linked-to article does not make that point. In the comments section

I'm the other main developer on this project. We see this as part of a broader trend where the margins are going to shrink dramatically for those selling AI tools online. Rather than fight that and come in with prices only a bit below

I deleted all social media over the span from 2016 to 2019, and after an short period of actively missing it, I don't even think about it anymore, unless the topic comes up as one of societal concern, or in connection with my kids. Pho

I'm the other main dev (and co-founder) on this project. Some interesting things to note: * This is all our data from our other site, so it is very real-world and diverse. We don't have a short list of supported categories like so

Regarding all the anecdotes, I would have said the same thing 8 years ago when I moved to my current house in suburban Minneapolis. Then we had some landscaping done and added a bunch of planting beds to the otherwise boring grass-only yard

Do you have an example of this being done on a large scale? Sincere question. I've just never heard of it being done.

Modern technology makes it possible to build cities in arid environments, but it doesn't make it wise.

Carbon dioxide was not considered a pollutant when the law was passed, so congress should specifically authorize such a significant expansion of the EPA authority. Rule by executive fiat is never wise, and if the case were clear cut on this

Shameless plug: weatherspark.com has a great compare feature that is extremely useful when evaluating the relative merits of a given location's climate. See the following comparison page between Algiers and LA: https://weath

That is an amazing bug.

The (s)RGB color model is not some legacy choice. It is closely tied to how colors are stored, composited, and communicated to physical displays. And this problem seems a bit artificial - how often do you see a linear gradient between color

That sounds like it applies to websites of businesses with physical locations, no?

From what I can tell, Title III (public accommodations) only applies to businesses with physical locations that serve the public. So are purely digital Saas businesses not subject to this lawsuit risk? If that is not the case, can someone m

The Wikipedia page states: "The Académie is France's official authority on the usages, vocabulary, and grammar of the French language". And "The body has the duty of acting as an official authority on the language."

You are avoiding the question of whether it is appropriate to present the results of a linear regression on data that is so poorly explained by a linear relationship. Random looking balls of data points don't have slopes. It is invalid

by jrd79 5y ago
No, I'm complaining that they plotted slope-only 95th percentile error bounds, which is visually deceptive. If they had plotted the vertical spread as well, it would have been clear to the reader that the model they chose to explain th

by jrd79 5y ago
A one-dimensional affine fit (usually called a linear fit) contains two parameters: a slope and an offset. Both have error bounds, and the offset error bounds on this data would be huge. Data presentation that is not intended to deceive wou

by jrd79 5y ago
Those trend line fits are hilarious. Unmodeled confounding factors, anyone? I especially like where they choose if something should be a log-linear fit vs. a linear fit. And the 95% confidence interval only containing less than 10% of the s
