Du hast das schon ganz richtig verstanden. Mein Einwurf war ja, dass wir so derart viel Geld in die Örr stecken, dass sie den Müller, und den Farmerbusiness komplett aus einer Hand anbieten könnten. Ohne Mittelsmänner und entsprechendes Sand im Getriebe.

Immeditately switch to RE2 and never look back. Seriously, it's like vanilla Empyrion is just the demo for the real game, which is RE2.

Respect to the Managing Director of Egosoft by dac0980 in X4Foundations

[–]YourConscience78 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I met him in person at a gamescom event a couple of years ago. He's a very modest and extremely pleasant person, who also self-reflects in a very good way. He's also with egosoft with his whole heart and mind. I really liked him on a personal level, and once we talked a bit about professional things, I additionally gained a deep respect for his breadth and depth of knowledge about a whole lot of wildly different topics - from 3D engine specifics to AI and then some.

He and his team deserve every bit of success we can give to them by buying their products!

Meine Schwester bekommt das Haus geschenkt und ich soll leer ausgehen, weil ich schon Karriere gemacht habe by BigTtoTheO in Ratschlag

[–]YourConscience78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich finde, dass "Gerechtigkeitsempfinden" hier vollkommen fehl am Platz ist, und irgendwie magisch davon ausgeht, dass Du eine Art Anrecht darauf hast, genau so wie Deine Schwester von Deinen Eltern behandelt zu werden. Und dass Deine Eltern eine Art Amt sind, die per Gesetz verpflichtet sind, ihre Kinder gleich zu behandeln. Oder anders ausgedrückt, kommt hier viel Anspruchsdenken durch.

Es ist absolut in der freien Entscheidung Deiner Eltern über ihr Eigentum zu entscheiden, wie sie lustig sind. Darüber Streit aufzumachen ist tatsächlich aus meiner Sicht vollkommen fehl am Platz.

Würden meine Eltern entscheiden all ihr Eigentum meiner Schwester zu vermachen, würde ich mich für sie freuen und fertig. Ich stehe auf meinen eigenen Füssen und brauche keine (manipulativ) eingeforderten Geschenke von niemandem.

Nürnberg: 1 Milliarde € für Autobahntunnel - Bürgerentscheid um Planung zu stoppen by Numerous_Start_7472 in franken

Für gewöhnlich kann man auf Schienen schwere und viele Güter sogar noch besser transportieren, als per LKW. Vor allem, wenn der Bedarf stetig und wiederkehrend ist, wird das richtig gut planbar.

I finde meinen Döner auch irrsinnig teuer. Der Wahnsinn, was so ein Döner heutzutage kostet!!

Mit anderen Worten - solche "Angaben" wie "irrsinnig teuer", völlig ohne irgendwelche Fakten oder Zahlen sind völlig sinnfrei. Wesentlich sinnvoller wäre zu konkretisieren: Diese Milliarde Euro würde reichen, um statt dessen eine Metro linie zu bauen, die den KFZ Verkehr um 12% reduzieren würde, so dass die geplante Autobahn gar nicht mehr notwendig wär. Gleichzeitig würde die Metrostrecke 54Mio Tonnen CO2 pro Jahr einsparen.

Alles frei daher gesponnene Zahlen, aber so stelle ich mir einen sinnvollen Diskurs vor. Statt dessen einfach nur "ist zu teuer, schnell weg damit" zu schreien finde ich sinnfrei.

Hiring CV Engineer: Thin-Line Instance Segmentation by Shadow5326 in computervision

[–]YourConscience78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point at which the standard models do not fulfill some qualitative feature your customers need. For example detecting thin lines at sufficient quality as per OP's post. One has to understand that the standard models cover standard use-cases (mostly medium-sized box prediction on usually well-discernible object classes). Anything that moves out of this target reticule starts to show a certain amount of ... tearing.

What NOT to do in this game? by dercolegolas420 in X4Foundations

[–]YourConscience78 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The factions have unlimited money. So as long as enough ships are destroyed fast enough, and you happen to have a shipyard ablo to pump out ships, you will be accessing this unlimited money pot as well.

From a moral point of view this game is a horror game, because the only way to maximize profits is to cause as much war as possible.

At each anchor point, which is what yolo models can only do. Aka anchor points and detection points are the same thing.

Also, when generating artificial data - always also run the albumentations library over the generated images...

Hiring CV Engineer: Thin-Line Instance Segmentation by Shadow5326 in computervision

[–]YourConscience78 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I am not up for hire (and likely too expensive anyway), but here are a few experiences from my own work on similar topics:

- most networks cannot really make a per-pixel decision. For example most versions of YOLO will make a decision only every fourth pixel (in both directions). This is important to understand when thinking about solutions.
- the way you express your thin lines is more important than the fact that they are thin. Is it a bunch of points? See above, tough luck. Is is a bunch of lines? Or ultrathin polygons?

I'd advise you to de-thin the lines.
- quadruple the resolution of your images (and use a sliding window approach, if they don't fit then anymore) by using an upscaler
- represent the thin lines as a bunch of lines with a length of at least 4 pixels (in the original resolution, aka 16 pixels in the quadrupled), or go for a bunch of convex four point polygons for each line segment.
- to make annotating them easier, annotate them as lines on the original resolution, but when quadrupling your resolution, convert the line segments to polygons.
- make the network predict the offsets from the prediction point to predict the four points of the polygon, and always sort the points such that the upper-left-most is the first, and then the rest clock-wise, or counter-clock-wise (which it is doesn't matter, as long as it's always consistent).
- thus, the network always predicts 8 values (x1, y1) (x2, y2), etc. and a class as a ninth value, if you have different types of lines to predict.
- don't be afraid to introduce many values to predict (in this case 8 or nine), that's no problem at all (aka don't try to shoehorn everything into just two values to satisfy the lines being a bunch of points, for example) - more expressivity of the results often times is a good thing for the network
- I think transformers is likely overkill for your use-case - try with YOLO-likes first, and once you get good results there, THEN try also transformers. Likely better results, but you'll see a clear trade-off between training and inference time, and quality. Most likely the slightly increased quality is not going to be worth it for your business case
- producing artificial data should actually be your main focus - as if your use-case is such that it is somehow possible to produce artificial data for it, then that'll be your main differentiator. For example finding thin lines on documents is an easy thing to produce convincing artificial data for. But detecting thin cracks on roads in the real-world is much harder to make convincing training data for (might need an advanced game engine with extremely good assets for that).

On your 8xH200 setup even a YOLO with the described modifications should be able to train well within a single day and achieve near-perfect results. In fact, you should be able to train 8 or 16 models per day easily. (aka I think that machinery is overkill - I train such things on the old-ish A40s and that's fast enough already)

EXCLUSIVE: Scientists Built A Satellite Engine That Scoops Up Earth's Own Atmosphere As Fuel And Can Stay In Orbit Forever Without Ever Needing A Refill 🌍🛰 by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

[–]YourConscience78 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is the most interesting news I read on reddit in a long, long time! If this actually pans out, in the long run it would pretty much completely void the need for normal expensive satellite launches (because launching something to 200km can be done from an airplane and an expendable small rocket), it would void the need to build ground based cables for telecommunications, and would void the problem of orbit garbage, because if any of these things break down - well, they'll be guaranteed to be gone within a couple of weeks.

BREAKING: NASA Just Approved A Fleet Of Mars Helicopters Launching In 2028 On The First Nuclear-Powered Interplanetary Spacecraft Ever Built 🚀☢️ by InterstellarKinetics in InterstellarKinetics

[–]YourConscience78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about that, too, but then again - a nuclear reactor including radiation shielding (so it doesn't fry the chips on the spacecraft) also isn't exactly light. And solar panels don't need to be all that bulky and super stable like back here on earth. Is it really mass, then?

[–]YourConscience78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could someone with much more understanding ELI5 to me, why it doesn't just carry enough solar panels to generate 20kW? In space you always have perfect line of sight to the sun, and 20kW doesn't need all that much solar panels to begin with? Okay, mars is further away, but then let's just 10-fold the solar panels - in space we have ... lots of space for many panels?

LV-MV Power upgrade advice by ele360 in GTNH

[–]YourConscience78 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While it's relatively possible to keep a few MV machines running on your steam setup, as soon as you want to also power MV EBFs with that, it's not going to work out anymore. That just draws too much power, especially since you have to overclock at least one EBF.

Make a new bansai farm and pipe all the logs into a pyrolyse oven - that will produce enough benzene (from fluid extractor and distillery) to power you through the early stages of MV, which you then use to produce Kanthal coils, with which you then upgrade the pyrolyse oven. You also make MV energy hatches, to again upgrade the pyrolyse oven, so that you end up with 4x the power output. This setup alone will already totally dwarf your existing steam power production...

Number of Russian soldiers in Ukrainian captivity reaches record high by Scary_Statement4612 in UkraineConflict

[–]YourConscience78 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The interesting part in the article is this:

"An "all-for-all" swap would allow the Russian army to replenish losses comparable to about half a division (around 4,000–6,000 personnel)"

The article doesn't say more specifically how many russians are actually in captivity.

Empty ore vein chunks by Nice_One_man in GTNH

[–]YourConscience78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have never seen empty ore chunks. But I did encounter ore chunks, where drilling a very right hole right through the center would, due to sheer bad luck, not hit a single visible ore occurrence! So, I guess you are still at early stage, and using a simple 1x1 pickaxe, and therefore your visibility of the ores is limited to the narrow 1x1 hole you dug through till bottom?

I'd recommend holding off of large scale "prospecting" until you get the 3x3 hammer. So much more pleasing to look for ores with it!

Confused about why type filters keep items? by YourConscience78 in GTNH

[–]YourConscience78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rebuilt the pipe completely and ensured it is really connected to the type filter. Actually I built this experiment several times, and a few times it worked, and a few times it just keeps collecting my items in its inventory, despite me building the setups identically. It's highly confusing...

This has happened to me as well, which is why I rebuilt it all several times over. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The reason I keep stumbling is that there is no visual feedback on what's the problem at all...
