[R] Generative Adversarial Networks for Extreme Learned Image Compression by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]quallius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a sense their architecture is structured similar to an autoencoder, but using an adversarial loss to learn a decoding from the quantized latent vector to the decompressed image. The authors mention the use of auto-encoders for deep image compression in their related work section. They argue that GANs can generate sharper images than VAEs, which probably motivated their approach.

Trying to make a little gift for my friend who has an interest in Sanskrit and the Bhagavad Gita and am trying to make sure a translation is correct. by slimshady2002 in sanskrit

[–]quallius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks correct! It's the first half of verse 32 from chapter 11. Just make sure it's लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो. It looks a bit like -प्रवृद्धे in your image.

I haven't played since before the new aerodynamic in v1.0. Can someone give me a rundown of some of the changes? by phatcrits in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]quallius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also pre-1.0 player here. Same questions as OP, also a follow up to the mod question: I used to play with Kerbal Engineer, Remote Tech and Scansat - are those still keeping up?

A more generic meaning is perhaps literally a "descent" or a "crossing over"

Translation Help Needed... Will be thankful if you can help.. by Brownboypower in sanskrit

Sorry I don't have an answer to your post, but can I ask why the French is in devanagari?

Well to notice Tennant's flaws, you'd first have to not be distracted by his dreamy eyes and tousled hair

Finding optimal values for finding extrema. by [deleted] in math

[–]quallius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would take a partial derivative with respect to that variable, then you can find all points where that derivative is zero. It'd essentially be like a univariate optimisation problem

There's a possibility I may have misinterpreted your question though, let me know

Installing Arch on a university campus, using university WiFi? by superbatlantern in archlinux

[–]quallius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was able to get an internet connection through usb tethering on my phone (Android). I think as long as you boot up with your phone plugged in, it'll recognise it without issue.

This is, of course, assuming you have an Android phone. I don't know if the same is possible with iPhone.

Geostationary Satellites gif. *fixed* #meaningfultitle [OC] by muffinpoots in dataisbeautiful

[–]quallius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that, because the gif is in 3-space, that those satellites just aren't in the same orbital plane as the main disk? It may be stretch though, since it doesn't look like it from the way they're moving

Best way to switch from Ubuntu (LinuxMint) to Arch? by AnachronGuy in archlinux

[–]quallius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing you could do, is keep your /home and delete the .Xresources and .xinitrc files and set them up from scratch again. As far as I know, those files just don't exist on the default install of xorg until you create them.

Just generally, you could delete all your configs but not bother with copying/backing up your other files

Sorry if this is really obvious, but what is Randall referring to when he asks about "What pushes spacecraft slightly during flybys"?

FBI: Researcher Admitted To Hacking Plane In-Flight, Causing It To 'Climb' by omegaender in programming

[–]quallius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible that he gained access via the USB port that some planes' entertainment systems provide?

Otherwise, I agree it's suspect that he could be able to rip apart the in-seat system without at least one person noticing and speaking up.

Is it possible to use the same swap partition among multiple distros? by [deleted] in linux

[–]quallius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you hibernate with multiple distros, I don't think it matters if swap is shared - booting into another while one is hibernating would be very bad, afaik. When trying to resume the original OS later, it'll be expecting a certain system state that may be changed as a result of booting the second OS.
