Reminds me of the "lost" painting that was rediscovered via the movie Stuart Little : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Little_(film)#Lost_pain...
That's wild. Also wild that the set dresser paid $500 from the film's budget for a random piece of non-key set dressing like this.

It’s a conundrum. If we start returning things that were stolen in the past, well that includes a lot of stuff. If you are on the losing side you might sometimes have to return things (see looted nazi stuff), but if you are on the winning side you probably won’t (see pretty much all of the Americas).

Britain did the work to plunder the world, they can do the work to return the plunder, or pay rent to the countries they stole from if those countries choose to have their property remain in British custody. >If you are on the losing side you might sometimes have to r…

The US is the only first world country with demographic numbers that look not-apocalyptic.

You can , however, blame them for refusing to return the shit they stole.

I'm imagining a local yokel telling that to the police, as they go through his garage cataloguing the stolen copper wire & stolen porch packages.

my nephew is good at identifying teslas. "if the door handles are straight - S, together - X, hockey sticks - 3 or Y. No handles? cybertruck" :)
I remember reading something as a kid in the 70s where there was a character who could identify cars by their radiator grilles, so this tracks.
“Wetten dass” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetten,_dass..%3F) also once had a contestant who could recognize cars by the sound their doors make when closing them.

When you're an expert at something and you spend all your days looking at these things, you can pick out remarkable details from nothing. Any regular person looking at the original photo (below) would have seen nothing! https://x.com/Warkslieutenant/status/1808884139585610231/pho... (it's the picture with the curved frame on the left)
I expect the same has happened with a lot of people here too. I know that I've been able to piece together pretty complicated situations from very limited evidence, amazing the junior devs on the team. I also think this XKCD is relevant to the subject. You'll eventually become an expert on darn near anything you spend enough time on. https://xkcd.com/915/

"Random" is also a pretty bad word for this. But hey, English is hard, and neither word usage impedes understanding of the article itself.
As in Random Access Memory? (I'm not sure of an application for memory that can only be accessed randomly).
As long as you can request all of it at once, it's useful.

Not really. On very narrow datasets, from very specific machines. When they tried to generalize (the way a radiologist does) across multiple hospitals and multiple machines from different manufacturers, results are not that good.
can you point to any reports that provides these studies and outcomes?
