Hello friend!
- bahmbooThis code was likely written on a Macintosh Plus with a 9 in (23 cm) monochrome display that had a resolution of 512 × 342. Something to keep in mind. That's very little screen real estate (tiny!) and something that had to be respected. Writing long winded stuff had a cost in performance and maintainability. We sometimes wrote the documentation separately when needed. Sometimes that was printed out for ease of consumption. Then we have the issue that the Mac had only just been upgraded to 1MB of memory (4MB potentially) and only 800 KB floppy drive. And an 8 mhz processor.
- I appreciate your attempt to defend this position and I, and others, wish you good luck. In my many decades of working with humans writing code it simply has never happened.
- You are right, my bad. I must have speed read that last sentence. I won't delete my comment because there was some good discussion.
- I don't think he is saying that. As I said in my other comment here I think he is just drawing a potential parallel to other historic work that was done in a private(secret) domain. The larger point is we simply don't know so it's best to act in a way that even if it hasn't been done already it certainly seems like it will be broken. Hence the move to Post-Quantum Cryptography is probably a good idea!
- I particularly like the end of the post where he compares the history of nuclear fission to the progress on quantum computing. Traditional encryption might already be broken but we have not been told.
- Way late response: the off the shelf stuff is very very expensive as one would expect for industrial solutions. I was tasked to build something from scratch (our own solution). It was quite the journey and was not successful. If anyone has pointers or tips in this department I would truly love to hear about them!
- Values - I'm not judging.
Do you want to be the best rapper in Sweden? Do you want to be the best engineer at EA? 2 million a year to work at Palantir? Sign with a label and get 2 million a year to live in LA and have your music in Pepsi ads? Start an open source greenfield passion project that has only your vision as the runway? Work your own musical genre even if your audience isn't there yet?
As a talented young person (or at least you believe in yourself!) it's early in your life/career where you can sculpt and morph yourself while you are still formable.
- It is a great interview, thanks. Never heard of him, he's a smart young person. Goes hand in hand with Charlie's post. Hey it's Saturday night we can talk about culture stuff, right? Edit to add: young prodigies in artistic pursuits have similar choices as young tech prodigies.
- Testing at the UW Medicine Clinical Virology Lab identified the virus as H5N5, making this the first recorded infection with this variant in a person globally. The result was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The risk to the public remains low. No other people involved have tested positive for avian influenza. Public health officials will continue to monitor anyone who was in close contact with the patient for symptoms to ensure that human-to-human spread has not occurred. There is no evidence of transmission of this virus between people.
- There is a thing called the grappler now. Seems like a reasonable tool: https://policebumper.com/
- Generally this is called automated anomaly detection.
- Thanks for taking the time to try that out and sharing it! Our problem is with defects on the order of 50 to 100 microns on bare boards. Defects that only a trained tech with a microscope can see - even then it's very difficult.
- To answer your question: no but we haven't looked because Sam is sota. Trained our own model with limited success (I'm no expert). We are pursuing a classical computer vision approach. At some level segmenting a monochrome image resembles or is actually an old fashioned flood fill - very generally. This fantastic sam model is maybe not the right fit for our application.
Edit: answered the question
- I don't have anything specific to link to but you could try it yourself with line art. Try something like a mandala or a coloring book type image. The model is trying to capture something that encompasses an entity. It isn't interested in the subfeatures of the thing. Like with a mandala it wants to segment the symbol in its entirety. It will segment some subfeatures like a leaf shaped piece but it doesn't want to segment just the lines such that it is a stencil.
I hope this makes sense and I'm using terms loosely. It is an amazing model but it doesn't work for my use case, that's all!
- Are you sure about that? They say "full 3D shape geometry, texture, and layout" which doesn't preclude it being a splat but maybe they just use splats for visualization?
- Like the models before it it struggles with my use case of tracing circuit board features. It's great with a pony on the beach but really isn't made for more rote industrial type applications. With proper fine-tuning it would probably work much better but I haven't tried that yet. There are good examples on line though.
- Not criticizing per se but I just watched this recent (and great!) interview where he extols how special written language is. That was my take away at least. Still trying to wrap my head around this vision encoder approach. He’s way smarter than me! https://youtu.be/lXUZvyajciY
- Huh? My post was very positive and hopefully let's not get too meta. I felt the comments did not address the merits or contents of what was being presented. That's all!
edit: did you see my comment when it was first posted? The topic was being dumped on at that time and drowning out the signal. I promise I'm not part of a dark pattern.
- Point taken and I should have known better. I fully agree with you. I suppose I should say inexperienced dev or something more accurate. Having worked with many inexperienced devs there was quite a spread in capabilities. Using terms that are dismissive to individuals is not helpful.
