Huh? That was University of Utah/Brigham Young University right. That is, if you're referring to Pons and Fleischman.

Obviously not, but there is larger potential than that. A microphone in a watch or phone can pick up the signal and relay the trigger to another server via for example MQTT. Then, you can have homeassistant act upon this signal.

The flow is then Open door --> Signal triggers --> Signal caught by microphone --> Microphone device relays to server --> Server turns on smart lighting in that room.

There is a lot more that you can do, but this is just an example. The microphone to pick it up is a limitations, but the gain is:

- reduced power usage as the signal generators are not power-operated

- less waste as no empty batteries need to be discarded (if non-rechargeable batteries are used)

- improved security because the signal generators are not connected to the internet, reducing the attack surface.

I'm still not sure I get it. I think it is

1. Put the BWT string in the right-most empty column

2. Sort the rows of the matrix such that the strings read along the columns of the matrix are in lexicographical order starting from the top-row????

3. Repeat step 1 and 2 until matrix is full

4. Extract the row of the matrix that has the end-delimiter in the final column

It's the "sort matrix" step that seems under-explained to me.

I have the feeling that B-splines would be a good solution for this problem. Given that they have a continuous zeroth (i.e., the function is continuous), first, and second derivative, the motion will always be smooth and there will be no kinks. However, maybe it's moving the problem because now you must tune the coefficients of the B-spline instead of damping parameters (even though a direct mapping between these must exist but this mapping may not be trivial).

Multiple reasons, while technically better and more benign compression artifacts, it is computationally more expensive, limited quality improvements, encumbered by patents, poor Metadata format, poor colorspace support... In the end, the benefits aren't great enough compared to jpeg to change the default format

I really like einops. This works for numpy, pytorch and keras/tensorflow and has easy named transpose, repeat, and eimsum operations.

In medical imaging, data are often acquired using anisotropic resolution. So a pixel (or voxel in 3D) can be an averaged signal sample originating from 2mm of tissue in one direction and 0.9mm in another direction.

Conda indeed is slow. However, mamba is a drop in replacement for Conda and uses a way faster solver, which makes it a lot more palatable.

Not quite what you are looking but if you're interested in Operation Market Garden: for the Dutch maps there is https://www.topotijdreis.nl, which gives you historical maps with a year slider. This can at least help one visualize how cities, villages, and topography at through the years.

CGP Grey also made an excellent video about it, which he dubbed the NaPoVoInterCo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUX-frlNBJY

But Chinese (or mandarin) is not a context-free grammar whereas I believe that encoding a language on a turing machine implies a context-free grammar so this example doesn't hold.

I think maybe it's poorly phrased. As far as I can tell, their linear regression example for eq. 2 has an unique solution, but I think they state I that when optimizing for cosine similarity you can find non-unique solutions. But I haven't read in detail.

Then again, you could argue whether that is a problem when considering very high dimensional embeddings. Their conclusions seem to point in that direction but I would not agree on that.

The thing is you use synthetic data to when it is difficult to obtain real data. For example, in medical imaging, it is very expensive to collect MRI scans to build a large dataset. Not to mention the potential privacy issues and obtaining informed consent to publish the dataset. Synthetic datasets can help here to, for example, pretrain your model and fine tune on real data afterwards. I'm then assuming that collecting tabular data can face similar issues which prevent building large datasets.

Surely not, but if you practicing to get better at programming using AoC, LLMs are unlikely to help you.
SimplyUnknown
·3년 전·discuss
Maybe better programmer not so much, but I'd say the spirit of AoC is to crack a puzzle and translate the solution into code. Solving this using LLM will not help you getting better at solving puzzles, solving puzzles, or grasp the main concepts of a programming language. In that sense, ChatGPT is not a pedagogical asset in this particular instance.

Obviously you can, but in the grand scheme of things people should share more details about their method so people can improve on it in the future, no?
SimplyUnknown
·3년 전·discuss
I mean, you can't just share the weights of the model and call it a day, right? You have to share details on what and why you are doing. You must communicate this somehow. In theory, you might be able to do this in a github readme, but a paper-style document on arxiv is nicely suited for this.

I guessed as much, but I wasn't able to confirm. Thanks for the search.

So the solution would be to continue emitting greenhouse gases and ensure it will also get worse in 30 or 50 years?

> The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

Said to be a Chinese proverb, but I haven't extensively verified.

The only viable solution right now to combat global warming is to immediately stop emitting greenhouse gases, even if there is a lag effect.
