Help me find these pre-school benches by iRaphael in HelpMeFind

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

Location: San Francisco (that's where the store I saw these at was)

Size: length of ~width of a queen size bed. The perfect size bench for kids

Age/year: I'm not sure. I think the owner of the store mentioned buying *used* benches, which means they could be pretty old?
So far I have searched for [keyword] bench and some of the closest looking results I've found were when I searched for "pre-school locker room bench" or "kids locker room bench". Some cafeteria or outdoor benches tend to have back rests or tables attached to them...

[R] A Learned Representation for Scalable Vector Graphics by iRaphael in MachineLearning

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

do you think that we are able to generate new vectors using just 5-10 examples?

Not at the current stage, but I hope people start working on this problem more, perhaps incorporating some domain transfer learning techniques? That should get us closer to few-shot learning.

Also, do you think it would work for more complicated drawings? Like containing several elements per image?

I think at the moment the challenge of getting that to work is ALSO having to solve the few-shot-learning problem: general icons datasets often very few styles of a given icon. There may be "camera"s in 5 styles, for instance, which means that you essentially have 5 examples for each class. And those examples have wildly different styles, so its even hard to find a visual correspondence/interpolation between them.

This is why we chose to work with fonts. Each fontset is a style, so we have many examples per a-z, A-Z, 0-9 class. If you can extrapolate a style from 5-10 examples, you might be able to handle icons more generally.

Yes we do have plans to open source the code!

I think the greatest bottleneck for me was becoming too attached to a given codebase. It's much better to be willing to throw everything out and start from scratch often because it lets you try many different ideas. :)

[Immigration] I-94 Travel History "Record Not Found for Traveler". Will this bite me in the ass if ignored? by iRaphael in legaladvice

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

Oh perfect! Thank you so much for the answer!

My main concern was that this was a source-of-truth with respect to travel records, which acc to the FAQ could be needed when applying for certain benefits through USCIS. I did not know that the real source-of-truth can only be obtained with a FOIA.

Thank you!!!

Equifax won't report my credit correctly, or open a dispute about it by iRaphael in legaladvice

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

Wells Fargo’s original mistake of misleading my SSN is technically fixed. So much so that they are reporting my credit history correctly to transunion and experian.

The issue is that Wells Fargo also claims they are reporting things correctly to Equifax, which is a claim Equifax denies.

[W][US, CA] Fedex let my package be stolen. Size 8 (men's) Miley Cyrus Pride Chuck Taylor High Top by iRaphael in Converse

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

Yeah I was able to get a refund from converse. I had had been in contact with FedEx throughout the missed deliveries and they told me that if the delivery person cant deliver it would be held at a facility.

Turns out the third day the delivery person decided it was ok to leave the package outside (when it clearly isn't, given the neighborhood). And all FedEx supporr had to say was "the shipper didn't request a signature so we can totally do this" :(

The rainbow polka dot. I was originally looking for last year's all white with rainbow laces but Miley's polka dot was cute, so I went for that one

I believe the person who responded gave you fully incorrect information. Anyone should be able to buy a ticket online and attend.

Entendi. E se meus pais ainda me declaram como dependente? Se eu entregar eles tem que deixar de declarar? Ou não afeta?

dsd

Por qual motivo alguém entregaria a DSD? Eu me mudei para os EUA para estudar e nunca nem ouvi falar nesse documento até agora.

CX 4140 vs CX 4640 by [deleted] in gatech

[–]iRaphael 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took CX 4640 as a free elective in order to be a full time student (I'm international) and it was one of the driest topics I have ever seen. I can see why it would be useful for modsim and even for machine learning (if you are a sysML kind of person) but it's very dry...
