    In their defense, this probably looked really cool in 2000, when this was published (or at least, last updated). But agreed, that lime green is horrendous.

    Data drift. The data you are doing real world inference on can start changing, meaning your model performance starts degrading, so the model needs to be retrained on new data (that…

    Delightfully cursed. I wonder how consistent the breakdown voltages are between manufacturers? I mean, I am sure there is some spec, but is it not just a minimum in this case?

    Not a lot of it is unsafe, I think they said 4%? It's practically impossible to write safe Rust when you are calling external libs written in C/C++, like they do for the Javascript…

    He never said impossible, just hard. But how is this news? Memory safety bugs are one of (if not the) main source of bugs in C/C++ and also Zig, and Rust's main claim to fame is th…

    You can also take a Bildungsurlaub (educational leave, 5 days a year or 10 days every two years) and take a German course. For a two week course with private tutoring it's like 1k,…

    Good point. Will do so as well. I've been using it for about a year now on my NAS. I basically set it and forget it, and it has just worked.

    What radar pipelines are you working on (out of pure curiosity here)

    I'm pretty sure if he did that someone would complain that he is using people as free labour to increase his youtube revenues. It's impossible to do anything on the internet withou…

    That seems to be the way things are going. Large general models have taken over in NLP, and (outside of embedded/low latency applications) it seems like they are coming for CV next…

    Visiting Tristan Da Cunha is on my bucket list. Just a shame it takes so long to get there, but maybe that's part of the appeal.

    The alerts system and sharing with caregivers is a solved problem already (e.g. Dexcom's Follow, Abbot's LibreLinkUp). Do you find the analytics actually helps? I.e. a lot of this …

    Yeah, it seems that it is much easier to avoid enshittification when you are publicly held (and print money)

    This is more aimed to warn pedestrians who wear ANC headphones. Should people be prohibited from wearing headphones while walking?

    Eh, it's pragmatic. It's replacing a problem you can't solve (human stupidity), with one you can (a better bell).

    They do some good tours. They are first come/first serve, so show up in the morning for the best chance to get a place.

    Nice, I didn't get it. I just realized "Kyouryuu" is Japanese for dinosaur. And Pfirsich is of course Peach.
