It's a little deeper than this, software for each module is typically provided by a tier 1 or tier 2 supplier according to a spec provided by the OEM. Sometimes the tier 1 or tier 2 supplier is also subbing out the software or stuck with some system on chip that sucks.

So for a made-up example, GM wants to build a smart dash in the latest SUV, maybe Bosch or Continental has one with a SoC inside and their own software hell. OEM works with supplier to integrate, bugfix, skin, and customize. But they don't write it from scratch.

The article points out that the FPGA was not actually removed. However it is true in some circumstances having access to data earlier in the pipeline is useful. Microbolometer cameras like these have their own quirks.

I worked at RS in '99/00- at the time "Realistic" branded stuff was RCA produced.

Sometimes we would have identical items from both companies, with the Realistic model on sale or special with free batteries or an extended warranty.

The dopamine hypothesis is being heavily debated and revisited these days. Might be worth checking any assumptions against current research.

Agree, but colleges aren't the only vehicle to produce a technical workforce. If the US wants to be competitive going forward, we are going to need alternate tracks for technically minded folks - think apprenticeships and certification programs in addition to our universities.

Choreographers have almost no means to copyright their creative work and the Choreographer's Guild presently seeks to protect said work and get choreographers credited and paid.

It may be that notation has a renewed utility by virtue of creating a copyrightable artifact.

I agree, the light weight and parameterizability is really cool.

The aesthetics are absolutely not for me. I'd also be curious about the materials. Most wood blends are PLA based, which would not survive the southern california heat.

Same in my experiments. "Loud" is not the right word here at all.

They're not AR or VR, they're an open air experiment to determine what the display-bearing devices will be.

Film scanning, document scanning, poster digitization, architecture, scientific work. It's genuinely useful, but for technical applications. That's why it gets flack from portrait photogs, casual users, youtubers.

Wonder if they're coming from recycled phones?

Is it easy? Are you aware of any good tutorial content on this? I have libraries of images I'd like to feed into generative models. Think gritty, noisy stuff. I'm just not aware of how to do it.

Don't forget censorship/banning of nude images. The tumblr fiasco (among others) was their doing.

When a warning comes in this form it has the same implications as action. It's a distinction without a difference.

I had a long conversation with an OnlyFans star a while back. One of the very surprising things that I learned was that she paid a very large portion of her earnings to a firm that outsourced chat and audience interaction to a mix of AI and real humans. Her fans never knew the difference.

Yes. I haven't been able to get it to work reliably on any of my systems. Problem might be me.

I am so excited to see this. I normally use Samsung Dex to access my phone, which is a decent way to type and file manage on a Windows PC. But it's crashy.

My phone is my primary camera, and getting files on and off still sucks unless you want to use spyware like Dropbox - which I don't. First class filesystem access would be fantastic.

Don't forget about bond wires that need to be run to each die and/or connected to a backplane.

Now think about 3D printers like the Bambu. A machine tool that can self-combust.

I'm facing an engineering problem that amounts to stresses accumulating on the edges of a layered substrate. Are there any references, process notes, books, or industry approaches that you could point me to? High level and/or general are OK.

Exactly. Regulation and safety only affect law abiding entities. This is precisely why it's a "genie out of the bottle" situation -- those who would do the worst with it are uninhibited.

Nice work! What's the boot time like? I didn't see it in your Medium page.

Instagram publicly states that most activity happens in DMs. I'm there entirely for my personal network.

>It's not really feasible to fake something like a raw metal.

No one is trying to pass aluminum or steel as titanium.

It's pretty straightforward to pass one titanium alloy as another, or claim provenance or material properties it doesn't have. I have two indistinguishable scrap pieces on my desk right now, one Grade 5 and one Grade 2. It's also possible to pass a billet or sheet of alloy with defects or poor quality control, voids, or inclusions. "Titanium" is a broad class of materials that are indistinguishable without exotic tools like XRF guns, or, in this case, a well documented and trusted supply chain.

Alloy substitutions and similar fraud happen all the time. It can even be the same alloy but have issues in post treatment and not meet spec. Here's a case where a NASA supplier was committing this fraud for over 20 years. It included fraudulent documentation, but the material itself was not up to spec:

I love forums. I've kept the DIY Book Scanner forum online since... 2009? Recently (last two years) these damn AI scrapers have killed PHPBB over and over again. They got me kicked off my shared web hosting plan by abusing search and other forum features.

I upgraded to VPS for $500. The other admin spent 15-20 hours fixing/troubleshooting/transferring. And you know what? At the end of all this, I paid to give my data to these jerks, to keep it online for them to harvest. The forums are dead quiet.

Now I think, Discord is fine. They'll just sell the data to AI companies directly, the burden won't fall on me.

Especially emotional responses.

Exactly as they did with GOOG-411, which was used to build a huge phoneme database.

Exactly. It's cousins with the hacker mindset. And it is fun & comes with a thrill. If your mindset is "crime bad, criminals stupid, why?", you might try getting away with something sometime. It's a special pleasure.

Not only improved surveillance, but vastly increased surveillance, as everyone rushes to capture as much data as they possibly can for training.

Also it will be punishing for pets and MEMs microphones.
