Yeah I was going to say...

Saw a program a while back, about RR jet engines. Some of those fan blades are not only so finely machined and built that they are hand-made, but also get internally imaged for problems or stress.

What such tricks with 3d printing do accomplish is they let engineers build a mock-up or scale model from their designs much more efficiently than before.

"The ImageNet Classification Challenge, as it is called, involves training software on a collection of 1.5 million labeled images in 1,000 different categories, and then asking that software to use what it learned to label 100,000 images it has not seen before."

"Wu said that Minwa had made it possible to train the system on higher-resolution images. It also permitted use of a technique that turned the original 1.2 million training images into two billion by distorting them, flipping them, and altering their colors. Using that larger training set improved accuracy by preventing the system from becoming too fixated on the exact details of the training images, said Wu. The resulting system should be better at handling real-world photos, he said."

And they sort-of cheated to do it. I am sure if Google and MS would do a similar trick with their systems their accuracy would improve too.

No, they are ignoring it because that is what the question specifically tells you NOT to consider.

Here, broken apart by more than just a semi-colon.

"I don't mean sitting there with no power but would work if the power came back on[.]"

"rather, something continuously powered, doing the task it was designed for."

You might want to re-read it. "After we are gone" in the sense of "no more humans."

"Some Guy, lead artist for a game, has put up a post about the decline of quality art in games. He decries the current state of "Pixel fetishism" in the industry, saying that games with great art get needlessly marked down in reviews for their 'quality', while games that have awful — but pixel — art get glowing praise. He walks through a number of examples showing how art can be well done or poorly done, and how it can be extremely complex despite the higher resolution. But now artists are running into not only the expectation of hipster content, but technological obstacles as well. "Some devices pixelate Blarg [their game]. Some devices lack the colour. No matter how hard I worked to make the art in Blarg as good as I could, there's no way a given person should be expected to see past all those roadblocks. Making Blarg with pixel-art would have made it more resistant to making money." He says his studio is giving up on art and embracing the new medium, and recommends other artists do the same. "Don't let the medium come between you and your audience. Speak in a language people can understand so that they can actually see what makes your work great without a tax." "

Putting GST on those products/services is a good idea, but such actions should be delayed pending the investigation of the various suppliers/importers for price-parity in Australia.

Valve and the ACCC are still in a spate of litigation (according to the Q1 ACCC report here http://www.accc.gov.au/system/... ) in regards to not offering refunds.

My bank can and do notify me when there is 'odd spending' happening on my credit card. Usually it is just some odd store I have purchased from online.

Having their billing system trigger a flag when it hits 10x the usual cost and halt access and red flag for support to call them when it hits 100x is NOT hard or invasive. This wouldn't even need metadata, it could simply wait for the daily billing totals to tally up and run off that.

You may want to work on your comprehension.

If you follow all THEIR instructions and make a mistake because you followed their instructions, you will not be held accountable (and duh, of course you have to pay the difference, they just aren't going to charge you for misfiling).

"If you make an honest mistake in trying to follow our information in e-tax 2014 and you owe us money as a result, we will not charge you a penalty. However, we will ask you to pay the money, and we may also charge you interest. If correcting the mistakes means we owe you money, we will pay it to you. We will also pay you any interest you are entitled to." - eTax help guide.

You didn't point out the BEST thing about the e-tax stuff.

If you follow all the instructions (and they are extensive), do everything exactly as stated and something messes up, you cannot be held accountable for it.

Dang it, I had my link all ready and you beat me to it. Damn good series, very interesting in that he describes in simpler terms why and how it is worked out.

Yeah, this is some irony right here.

Seems like Snowden's views on censorship are not held by the interviewer.

You ever seen a grown man naked?

Yeah, if all the nerds out there didn't sit on their arses and reply to slashdot stories, why, we might just be able to do anything... ahh fuck it, I am getting more doritos.

Son, with a monocle at the ready, I would do damn near anything with it.
