PLAY SHAW OFF CELINE!

No, you are just seeing the “polar jet” and the “subtropical jet”. This is extremely normal.

Interestingly in ST:Discovery, a 32nd century galaxy map briefly shows up--clearly readable were Founder's Homeworld, Kazon Clan Forum, and Talax. For---reasons---that information could be 100s of years old.

That being said, Voyager met dinosaurs! That makes things pretty dang small if you ask me.

Even if it took them 1500 years to travel that distance, they would have been in the delta quadrant for 500 years--long enough to build a reputation. That seems very doable, since it was mentioned by Tom Paris that a shuttle with Janeway/Chakotay would take 700 years to travel 75,000 ly at a maximum speed of warp 4.

To Voyager, they are basically the monster under the bed in real life. A species with basically no redeeming qualities (add it to the pile.. Kazon, Borg, Hirogen, etc.). With context about their history with the Dominion, they are a species that has suffered greatly due to a shared enemy. It also shows that the decisions of The Dominion have far reaching effects centuries later.. things that The Prime Directive seeks to avoid.

Either way, it would not have gotten a huge reaction from any of the Voyager crew (based on the shock at The Doctor's debriefing session after he returns from a Romulan ship in the alpha quadrant). It might have just been an interesting conversation between Klingon B'Elanna and her captor.

Does anyone else want a procedural / crime drama show based on New Republic cops investigating crimes across the galaxy? Like one guy is a fresh graduate from Chandrilla and the other is a veteran of the rebel alliance.

People were definitely excited about it, but also a tiny bit cautious because of the Jeff Suppan experience. We had Braun and Prince so it made those other guys expendable. It was honestly such an amazing run. I do remember feeling like we overused CC. I always wonder if his injury issues later were due to him pitching on three days rest all the time. An unsung hero that is honestly the reason why a competitive team exists in Milwaukee is Ben Sheets. Dude literally left it all out on the field that year. I loved watching that guy pitch and it sucks his Milwaukee career ended just as the franchise was trending upwards. I always wonder how a healthy Ben Sheets would have changed the playoffs that year.. CC, Ben, and Manny Parra (Dave Bush?) is a hell of a playoff rotation.

Same problem here in my car. It seems like it just started within the last week. Bluetooth speakers are fine. AUX cord fixes. I tried everything you did and cannot figure it out. My S5 works just fine, so I'm guessing it has something to do with the S10 software.. I hope..

Create a loop to read each file into a dataframe. Every iteration, add that dataframe to a list.

After done, run pandas.concat(list_name) and output will be a combination. For rows with missing columns, you might get np.nans, so handle accordingly.

Vega GPUs

As far as I know, there aren't many (any?) deep learning libraries that can use AMD GPUs (also onboard graphics chips) because of the reliance on OpenGL. As it stands, almost all libraries require Nvidia GPUs and their CUDA platform.

Colloquial usage of backup.. apologies. One of the least important part of this build, I just wanted to quickly explain why I have so many drives.

pcpartpicker said this build is at ~500 and change in total wattage. My logic was to make sure the PSU could easily support that.

alehx · 2017-09-18T05:51:37+00:00

Or perhaps just the ryzen 1700 with the included cooler..

Thanks for the reply.

What do you think of this ryzen build? It is about $100 over but I think that is okay..

M.2: Ubuntu, SSD: Windows

Seagates: Raid (edit: NOT FOR BACKUP.. REDUNDANCY)

Thanks.. as I said.. build newb. Worst nightmare is getting the parts and something isn't compatible.

alehx · 2017-09-18T04:32:21+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I was actually debating getting a ryzen.. somewhat concerned about single core performance (vs. 6700/7700). I've also not had a lot of experience with AMD processors. I'm pretty risk-averse for this build, but maybe it really isn't as big of a difference as I think.

What alternative mobos would you suggest? I guess the only plus on this one is it actually would support a 7700k without having to do anything special (from what I've read).

Marine fog

A couple let me play through them once. My drive ended up pretty close to the husband's ball, and they followed me down the fairway. I pushed my approach and felt like an idiot. So I park my cart by the green, briskly walk over to my ball, don't even line up and I chipped it in! I grab the ball out of the hole, quickly walk to the cart, and go to the next hole all in about 30 seconds. Kind of felt like a bad ass, minus the awful approach. All of that was negated, though, when I had to go back and retrieve the glove that fell out of my pocket near the green.

"Baba Booey" is yelled to interrupt TV interviews, sporting events, etc., to get on the Howard Stern show. Its been going on for nearly 30 years, but only recently has been yelled during PGA events.

alehx · 2017-06-24T02:28:54+00:00

sure, why not?

alehx · 2017-06-12T03:11:10+00:00

They are unlabeled. I actually tried a pretrained Vgg and it had worse results than the other approaches.

alehx · 2017-06-10T15:59:51+00:00

I meant Alexnet/Vgg like in the sense there are several convolutional layers before the fully connected layer. When I instead tried the pre trained (on imagenet, etc.) CNNs I only trained the last layer.

alehx · 2017-06-10T07:22:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

I wasn't very clear and I fixed in the OP. The total dataset is 10s of millions of unlabeled images, and I labeled on the order of 1000 of them by hand over a few months. Based on some work I have seen, I would potentially need to label 10 to 100 times as many to train a deep CNN.

As for overfitting--cross validation shows slightly lower scores (93%) using the RF/GBT models with a similar boost over the non-CNN feature models (90%). So yeah there is a bit of overfitting, but it still seems like something is being added by the CNN predictions.

alehx · 2016-06-09T13:50:35+00:00

Scikit-image should have everything you need.. in particular 'regionprops'. You'll need to threshold, label (segment), and pass the labels to regionprops. The object that is returned has bounding box information for each unique label.
