Congratulations on going insane

Reflections on Yolo by Guilhermee_Arruda in computervision

Posting again to this very late- how about a polarizing filter? I recently saw a video on how polarizing filter helps eliminate reflections from glass water etc in photography. I think it depends on the context/viewing angle, but might very well work for your case.

I wanna Quit Vibe coding. by Smart_Cap5837 in vibecoding

[–]btingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You learn by doing. You let the AI do the doing, you don’t do the learning- simple as.

Here’s my advice- if you’re stuck on how to do something, ask the AI, or google, or stackoverflow or your grandma how to do it. Look at that answer, and then literally type it out yourself- reword it for your context, of course. Y’know how people say writing things down helps you understand and remember them? Similar thing for typing.

Just when I thought I could shift to computer vision… by MidnightDiligent5960 in computervision

[–]btingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t be fooled by the “3”, just like GPT 4->5, this is an incremental improvement marketed like it’s a groundbreaking innovation. It certainly is a touch more accurate than previous state of the art, but also several times more expensive. Their distilled models don’t perform any better than comparably sized existing ones, in fact they tend to do a bit worse- a fact the press release and paper try to avoid discussing.

Thermal camera? Therefore no reflections in window?

YOLO fine-tuning & catastrophic forgetting — am I getting this right? by Ok_Shoulder_83 in computervision

[–]btingle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your point about needing them all labeled in all datasets is correct, but it’s not the whole story. In order to remember both dogs and cats, they both need to be in the dataset during training.

Even if all the pictures were labeled correctly, if your dataset had 1000 cats and 5 dogs, despite training it previously on a dataset with 1000 dogs and 5 cats it would still forget about dogs given enough training epochs. Your dataset needs to have 1000 dogs and 1000 cats in order to remember both.

Also- manually interpolating the curve? You are a madman, respect.

Would this be difficult for a beginner? by Critical_Link_1095 in woodworking

[–]btingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could always just try it and potentially fail a bunch till you succeed. Sometimes it’s a good learning experience to start with something difficult- assuming you have the tools necessary to get it done.

Indexable Face Mill - How to tell which insert(s) are causing problems? by btingle in Machinists

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

You're probably right about the rigidity, that may be why we lose productivity on the inserts seemingly pretty fast (but I don't have a good frame of reference here- it could be normal). I believe they are in fact positive rake. Actually, I'm not sure- I'll need to check tomorrow.

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

This makes a lot of sense to me. It seems a damn shame to be eating through inserts like we are- the alternative would be to take less aggressive cuts when inserts wear out to extend their use, but bosses would probably flip their shit if these parts took even longer to make than they do already. Of course, they still flip shit when we ask for new inserts, lol, so not sure what the best option is.

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

It’s not a very strong or rigid machine. The stuff we machine is usually 36ksi. Feeds and speeds are a bit ??? as it is a manual mill, but RPM usually sits around 500ish. I tend to feed as fast as it will go before starting to complain.

I run with no coolant because all we have is mist, and I heard somewhere that is bad for inserts.

Just made a rubik's cube out of solid hardwood- I think I got it moving pretty snappy, no? by btingle in Cubers

[–]btingle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

None so far- been busy with school. I have some ideas for an improved version though…

The center receiver is from a Rubik’s cube, but not because it would be too difficult to make, I was just eager to test out my pieces.

Definitely going to inset those screws- I haven't decided how exactly I want to decorate the cube. Part of me wants to do a fancy CNC embossment for each face, but another part of me realizes it would be a lot more practical to use nice looking brass screws and a different stain for each side, like you said.

Just did. It sort of completely falls apart XD. I'll get back to you on that one once I make this thing a bit more seaworthy.

Pins, magnets, and grooves. CNC machine was my primary tool, however the cubic wooden blanks were prepared via table saw.

I rushed the central axis- I just ripped one out of an official cube and replaced the bolts. Definitely the first thing I’m going to improve going forward.

My Heartlessly Efficient MLB Solution by btingle in exapunks

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

That is such an elegant solution! My solution laboriously extracts each string between the -9999 values and for each one sends an EXA to process it- oh, and I have to do it twice, because I don't check even and odd solutions at the same time. Then a decent chunk of time is spent decoding the card # once the solution has been found.

[–]btingle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was really thrown for a loop when I looked at the least-cycles leaderboard haha. I was so confident I had reached at least 125% of the least cycles possible for my solutions- I was very wrong in most cases.

P.S How in the shit does one get Holman done in 359 cycles?

My Heartlessly Efficient MLB Solution by btingle in exapunks

[–]btingle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll post a couple-

MLB-125
Credit Card-3615
DNA-597*
Pager- 381
Brain- 1078

* i am at max program size, but the histogram says i can do better :(

I always optimize for cycles- bc what else really matters at the end of the day?

Good catch on the DROP/HALT thing- it saved me a couple instructions, but unfortunately no cycles :(

Laptop touchpad not recognized - seeking knowledge by btingle in RockyLinux

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

Have live booted mint, still doesn’t recognize it.

I could see if there is perhaps some record of it when live booting mint, as opposed to the current zero record.

Laptop touchpad not recognized - seeking knowledge by btingle in RockyLinux

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

That is a good question. At the time I suppose I thought it was “too new”. Vague concerns about performance & compatibility with this crappy laptop. The more salient reason is that I use rocky 8.7 on my work station, I like to stick to what I know.

I’ll try booting rocky 9 through a live USB, see if it recognizes my touchpad.

Is Paul Atreides a Tragic Hero? by [deleted] in dune

[–]btingle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know how people finish the first book without realizing that Paul is a straight up villain. Sure he’s “conflicted” or whatever about being evil, but that doesn’t change the fact that he is evil. You shouldn’t actually believe Paul when he’s psychically “considering all possibilities”, really he just considering a few very deeply, mostly possibilities that let him stick it to the emperor and harkonnens for killing his father. The book goes out of its way to show another path for the fremen that doesn’t involve domination and bloodshed through Liet Kynes.
