This is pretty easily fixed by doing white balance correction. One piece of the barcode is always kept white, and it is used for color calibration. assuming the color transformation is constant across the entire code (which is the case in y

Google uses it on their TPUs [0]. If you're interested in how it would effect the numerical stability of an algorithm you want to use, there is a Julia package that makes prototyping linear algebra over this datatype pretty straightfo

I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say 100x cheaper. Googling “LEO satellite antenna” will result in plenty of hits that are well below $2000. As I said before, the $20 price point was for manufacturing of the antenna itself (m

In my antenna design course in graduate school, our Professor had insider information about the specifications the Starlink people were targeting for their mobile ground stations. He gave designing a similar antenna system as one of the fi

1. No, asynchronous means something different than multiple clocks. Think of it like the difference between polling based programming and using coroutines; with multiple clock domains you have separate sections of your chip performing task

All of the heavy Minecraft players I know (10+ people) play adventure mode exclusively. I don’t know anyone that plays creative mode for more than about 10 minutes before getting bored with it.

If you haven't yet, you should check out a build of 1.0. The start-up time is _greatly_ improved. Basic startup time is twice as fast as ipython for me now: $ time ipython -c '1+1' Out[1]: 2 real 0m0.493s user 0m0.401

The README for that package [0] states: > Note that FFTW is licensed under GPLv2 or higher (see its license file), but the bindings to the library in this package, FFTW.jl, are licensed under MIT. This means that code using the FFTW libr

This is actually a pretty good argument for sparse data handling; push some intelligence out to the edges of your network (e.g. the spy satellites or what have you) that are collecting the data in the first place, and then only store "

As the linked article states, all personally identifiable information is removed, but you still want to be able to say "Alice worked with Bob in folder 1, and that same Alice worked with Charlie in folder 2", so you assign unique

The numbers I've seen for a TPU v3 pod are ~100 PFLOPs, whereas this article claims over 3 EFLOPs, so that's at least 30 TPU v3 pods. Arguments about how useful FLOPs as a measure actually are aside, that's still quite a lot

One difference is gravitational pull; martian gravity is ~2x lunar gravity, which makes the solar wind an even larger danger to any atmosphere you would generate. The distances from the moon's surface at which atmosphere could be stri

Just a minor nitpick that ResNet is the model you are referring to, ImageNet is the dataset that ResNet is trained on.

This reminds me of an old story I read in an anthology called "Stealing the Network: How to Own the Box"; it was a series of modern-day hacking short stories loosely tied together through an overarching theme, and each chapter was

Amazingly, I can actually speak to this. I'm Ph.D. student in Shwetak Patel's lab, and yes, this looks to be extremely similar to the ElectriSense [1] work done by Sidhant Gupta (now at Microsoft Research). The water analogue was

It depends on what you want to keep constant between hosts; for many (dare I say most?) projects, docker will provide a sufficiently identical environment that it "just works", because the filesystem as seen by the same image on t

Top poster may also be interested in ICASSP, which bothers itself more with the algorithms of speech/audio processing than the applications of said processing.

Does it bother anyone else that the audio is so highly edited? They're literally stitching together sentences that she did not say. I'm used to videos cutting phrases together, but they're cutting individual words together

Agreed, but since those two concerns are separate (algorithmic improvement vs. taking advantage of parallel hardware) I'm not sure I'd categorize this as "missing the mark" so much as that's a further improvement th

With the recursive nature of DNS, I imagine that could get a little hairy as the DDoS'ers would then be targeting whichever DNS servers they were using.
