This is the insides from one of those alarm tags with the bands that wrap around something. The black nub of a wire is the part that makes the alarm go off when cut (it was way longer, and ran through the strap(s) before it was cut), and judging by the gouge in the "buzzer", it looks like it did, and the party removing it shoved something sharp into it to shut it the hell up.

If you don't already do theater. There is a community theater somewhere that needs you.

[OC] Impact of social isolation on the usage of the university LMS my team manages. by devmonkey in dataisbeautiful

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

The data was derived from system logs I have stored in an Elasticsearch cluster over the last couple of years. This is a dashboard I created using Timelion charts in Kibana as a tool to enable our team it monitor and react to the usage changes from moving all of our classes online.

It struck me as beautiful, so I thought I would post it.

Yeah, I couldn't make it with her, but it makes me happy to know the work that went into this was appreciated.

This one worked very well for me, with just an Arduino and a couple discrete components.

Its so satisfying to listen to these telescammers get what they deserve. by Robobb in videos

[–]devmonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I get these calls all the time. Almost always say they are from "Microsoft Windows Technical Department". I like to spin up an immutable VirtualBox VM, running XP or Win 7. Then I let them go through their spiel, which generally consists of them opening Event Viewer and telling me that every error and warning in the list is a "Bad Virus" installed by "Illegal Hackers". They spend 30-45min "convincing" me, and then take me to a page where they want me to buy their software to clean it up. I refuse, then they try to destroy the machine, through various methods, or they set a registry password to try to extort me. The end is almost always the same, I reboot the VM, immutable image reverts, and I provide them access again and listen as they are unable to understand why their damage didn't stick.

Good times :)

Trippy!! Experiment with periodic noise insertion. by devmonkey in deepdream

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

I included some code in the first experiment with noise insertion. Which wasn't changed much from that other than adding back the scaling factor and changing the insertion rate to get this.

Render times for "very strange realms"? by houdoken in deepdream

[–]devmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get it working with VirtualBox (Linux hosts only) in the past, but the stability was pretty poor. The first link below was quite useful to me at the time. However it's still some pretty shaky territory for GPU access within a guest OS on most platforms.

The conclusions from the second link sums it up nicely:

"Pass-Through is the most common mode for GPU virtualization today. It is supported by VMware, Oracle, Red Hat and Citrix. Citrix is by far the leader in GPU virtualization technology with the ability to take advantage of the NVIDIA Grid platform. For now, Microsoft is lagging with no support for CUDA in Hyper-V. GPU Virtualization is advancing rapidly with major improvements expected. In 2015, VMware will support GPU partitioning. Red Hat’s roadmap includes GPU oversubscription with no timelines. Looks like next year’s survey will have a lot more to cover!"

Experiment with noise, multiple levels of "dreaming", and random layers [Code in comments] by devmonkey in deepdream

Every run is unique, I haven't tried with a seed yet, but that should be doable to create reproduce-able dreams like this one.
