(Disclaimer: I have some background in physics, but I'm not an expert.)

I think the heat is transferred from the "computer" to the LED itself. So the LED itself heats up.

To go into a bit more detail:

All physical objects emit thermal radiation (a.k.a. black-body radiation [edit, not quite correct]). The hotter the object is, the more radiation it emits and the shorter the wavelength of the radiation. For "red hot" objects, the radiation is in the visible part of the spectrum; for room-temperature objects, it's in the infrared, so you can't see it, but it's still being emitted. If you put two objects of different temperatures next to each other, they'll both emit radiation and absorb each others' emitted radiation. The hotter one will emit more radiation than the cooler one, so there will be a net transfer of energy from the hotter one to the cooler one (normally).

But in this experiment, when the researchers run the LED in reverse, this somehow suppresses the LED's normal thermal radiation emissions. The "computer" continues to emit thermal radiation, which is absorbed by the LED just like normal. But the LED doesn't emit thermal radiation back to the computer (at least, not as much as it normally would). So even though the LED is hotter than the computer, the LED acts like it's colder for thermal radiation purposes. So there's a net transfer of energy from the cooler "computer" to the hotter LED.

Of course, this isn't a complete solution; you still have to do something about the heat once you've transferred it to the LED. The article doesn't address this part of the problem. But I speculate you could just attach a heat-sink to the LED. Heat sinks work better at higher temperatures, so the computer+LED+heat-sink solution would be more effective than a computer+heat-sink alone.
As anecdata, I remember getting the same legal advice as well years ago: prenups get thrown out by the judge all the time, so you might as well not bother having one.
To be fair, coming up with new weapons is a lot simpler than fixing the world's healthcare systems.

The rule is if it doesn't ache for a couple days after, you need to go harder/heavier.

Which is why I'll never, ever actually work out. Seriously, not only do I hate the time spent getting most activity, but now you are telling me I'm supposed to hurt for days afterwards? No, thank you. Not without being under the direct supervision of medical professionals who tell me I really need this sort of pain.

A $220 million per shot rod of God can burrow deep. How do you maximize the value of that shot? Wiping out a city? Taking out military target? Pfft, nay.

You target the bunkers of billionaires and wipe out all of the blackmail they store. That'll justify the high cost per shot eaaily.

Do you have any experience in game development? Unity is an affordable engine that saves small developers a tremendous amount of time by being a well rounded powerful and easy to use package. It has absolutely no open source alternative and not using either it or Unreal is economic suicide.

Most of the Unity titles might be forgotten in a decade. But some (which peobably means a few hundred) will not. Their devs might have trapped themselves by being locked in by the engine.

I'd wager that even without nuclear weapons, dividing Germany in half and keeping half a million or so foreign soldiers there for 50 years would have been pretty effective at keeping the peace.
I recently saw that they now offer ground beef with less fat at our local supermarket. I assumed that they just put less of the fatty bits inside. Now, I don't live in the US, and I don't know what regulations in Europe say about ground beef, but it does make me hesitate: I absolutely wouldn't have bought the meat if I knew they added pink slime to it to make it less fatty. I'd just buy the fatty ground beef instead.

The problem is not that it shouldn't be allowed -- it just shouldn't pretend to be something it's not.

I literally did not know that the pre-packaged ground meat is different from the ground meat you get at the butcher.
> I'm pretty skeptical that the energy dispersed from a tungsten rod impact would be dispersed in a manner similar to a nuclear weapon.

You're right, it wouldn't. See below.

> the tungsten rod, I would expect, is dumping a lot of it's energy into shattering bedrock as it burrows half a kilometer deep into the earth's crust

Yes, that's the point: the expected use for these weapons is to hit hardened targets underground, so you want the energy to be concentrated, not dispersed like in a nuclear blast.

I agree that clients normally don't know full spec because no one works on that.

One way I find very helpful in mitigating this is by getting a prototype of system, a detailed prototype made which goes a long way to clarify specs for the client and help me understand the scope.

I found transitioning to non hourly project billing extremely satisfying.
You are seriously looking down on the folks with their phones? How else are folks supposed to overcome the absolute drudgery and hate they have for the activity they are doing? I'd argue these folks are more motivated than the folks like you: Regardless for their hate for the activity, they are still doing it.

It is the same reason I have headphones with some sort of entertainment when I walk or use treadmills. The same reason my spouse reads while on the stationary bike. These activities are an absolutely dreadful way to spend time. Especially when one could be home making artwork or music or devoting time to cooking something creative or even watching silly videos.
Problem is, as a student I am trying to go freelance and start getting clients by doing small projects. And I read articles like this one and I have so many questions. I cannot pay for a lawyer or an accountant yet most of the people recommend it, am I not going to be able to go solo if I don't have those kind of securities?

Everything old is new again! Facebook once had a PHP extension called XHP which I guess you could call a server-side predecessor to React.
That justifies adding the new API, it does not explain removing the old capabilities. They could nudge extension developers to try the new API by adding some "extension X may slow down page loads" warnings somewhere if they don't use it.
Image Classification with Keras (Cat vs. Dog vs. Horse vs. Car)
Reading through the comments and as a 20+ years developer, using mainly Delphi, and with past 10 years as freelancer exclusively using only Delphi I realize people here don't actually understand what this IDE is doing. So here are a few points:

a - About dying and used only for legacy projects. Well, when a company wants something fast to win their customers hearts and push through next phase of moneygrabbing, do you think they care about latest technologies? Dirty Delphi does the job in 5 hours, what in others takes days if not weeks.

b - price too high. Correct, it is. But when you fly your technicians across entire continental US to deal with a hardware problem at one of your venues do you think 5k USD/year is much? That's pocket change.

c - Younger developers do not learn it. Well, younger developers should not learn anything but only one language for at least 3 years, ideally while still in college, and absorb instead algorithms/paradigms/math - skills more valuable then a computer language syntax. Once you master those and a language, no matter what, the entirety of the rest of languages are nothing more then syntax equivalent. Hence grabbing Delphi should be a maximum 3 weeks venture, after that I'd expect that young developer to be able to solve problems. I did just that, with Pascal in my beginnings and over the years/companies I've worked for I learned Java/C/C++/PHP/ASM/VB/ASP/ etc etc. Knowing how to implement quicksort in Pascal is the same as in C++, it's a syntax equivalent, nothing more.

d - Many comments about native - this is a type of comment from proponents. Well, in my experience that nativity was such a hassle for me that I'd rather go away with it and used Dalvik/the new ART instead in case of Android, but it is what it is.

Dying is terrible, but there is definitely a difference between being surrounded by loved ones and being all alone or among strangers.

I don't know, dude. My dad died, but I'm not even sure he knew we were around him. He had been in a coma after a stroke for a couple of weeks at that point. The same goes for folks that just die in their sleep - I'm not sure it matters. I hope they weren't actually lonely, but I wish that for lots of folks.
Additionally, they're coasting on the the tech industry trend which encourages urban agglomeration[1] meaning it's more valuable to have people packed into a given urban area, therefore driving up the price of land. You can see this effect in tech and finance hubs the world over.

Exactly. The fine is basically a token at this point; it's the potential for followup that matters.
FWIW, video doesn't need to be forged or manipulated in order to provide an untrustworthy or inaccurate portrayal.

It's possible a video doesn't reveal the appropriate context. (e.g. what happened before the start of the video, and maybe what happened afterwards; or what's happening out of view).

That said, that isn't inherent to video. (And, sure, "swapping faces" doesn't lead to a more accurate portrayal).
In my opinion its not really a conspiracy. People at Google are so far up their own ass that they don't understand the importance of content blockers.
Personally I just can't deal with websites without ublock modifying them.
I’m more of the opinion you’ll lose a lot of clients you do not want to have.
Did anyone try this on hand-drawn animation? How does it look? I'm not optimistic, since usually processes made for live-motion don't work that well, but going from e.g. 8 or 12 FPS to 24 FPS with no manual work would be just amazing.
Until everybody starts filming at 60/120hz, I am forced to use motion interpolation on my tv, even if it's full or artifacts. I hope it will take less than 50 years for movie technology to advance..

Consumer tech has been refined and dumbed down to the point where everything just sort of magically works, and since it's "magic" you never have to dive into the nuts and bolts. By making it so easy to use, we are depriving people of their opportunities to organically learn like people in my generation had to.

Exceptions exist.

I have to use Windows on a few machines, so yes, I have "actually used Classic Shell", and have occasionally hit some of the bugs. I dug into one of them but it's been so long since I've written any Windows-related code that I can't really do anything useful anymore :(.
Intel's Gen10 integrated graphics presumably had a bunch of effort put into it, and has been mothballed for years because Intel never could get the CannonLake CPUs out the door. That's got to sting a bit for its designers.
> Ammonia was a primary leavening agent for baked goods for centuries.

Listen, I obviously didn't know that ammonia bicarbonate was used as a leavening agent for centuries, or that it was made from deer horns, or whatever. :)

Obviously, I also imagined that when a news article says they use ammonia on the beef, they mean ammonia gas (NH3). I don't fault anyone for thinking that either, like gentle John Oliver. Isn't that what they're saying?

I guess those are two different things, ammonia bicarbonate (the leavening agent) and ammonia gas (the thing they do with deer horns), and ammonia in fish (which is something complicated), or brie or something.

Again, I don't know if they're using ammonia gas on the beef trimmings, but assuming that they are, then you've managed to conflate two different chemicals, which is the exact thing you were passionately trying to avoid.

It really speaks to my point that these things are really difficult to communicate about, and full of traps, so forgive me for the audacity. It's not ignorance and bliss, there are a tremendous amount of people who can talk to each other about the line between cooking and industrial process in intuitive ways that are not at all poorly informed. Maybe not me personally.
I think the important point is not that it can't be broken down to a hourly rate, but that the smallest incrememt is 1 week or a day. They simply can't book you by the hour.

Specifying what a week or day is, is up to you. In regards to time as well as money.
Tools some times have a clear (im)moral focus. If I make a tool to make fingernail extraction super painful to facilitate torture you're going to have a hard time spinning it is amoral. Now perhaps it doubles as a good drawing pin (aka thumbtack) extractor, but the tool has an immoral characteristic IMO because it was given it in the design and production stages.

A bio-weapon delivery vessel might be a great essential oil diffuser, but I'd argue that the tool still has an essential immoral quality by virtue of its specialised design.

Does that apply here? I don't think so, I don't think this tech was created for the purpose of fomenting unrest and committing frauds, but maybe I'll be corrected on that.
But if they publish the pretrained model then not just funded entities can reproduce their work, but essentially any person that can type `pip install tensorflow` or whatever. That's pretty big reach difference. Although, probably only a few months timewise.
Good you mention it, because I did not understand intended meaning of current title ("Faceswap Github repo is public but requires a logged in user"). I scoured the README to see how they managed to restrict a standalone, offline piece of software. Turns out, it's Github who's restricting access.

While censorship may not be an appropriate word, this is weird. Why would Github do something like that, except to force people accessing the repo to leave a trail leading to their PII?

> All physical objects emit thermal radiation (a.k.a. black-body radiation)

Not all materials are black body emitters. The black body spectrum is in fact an idealized emission spectrum which only few materials approach.

An LED most definitely is not a black body emitter.

You can engineer materials that absorb/emit a specific part of a spectrum and reflect/don't emit in other parts. This has uses in thermal engineering - e.g. you can shed heat by making things "white" in most of the spectrum but "black" in the infrared windows of the atmosphere. In this case they tune the behavior electrically.

For small projects you might not need a lawyer or accountant.

But when you feel the balance is right you should hire people who can help you with your problems.

At the moment you might do small projects but when project get bigger and your rate higher you will see that an accountant will become affordable.

And when you do multi million projects you will be able to afford a lawyer.

But one thing that is very important even when you are still 'small': register everything! What money goes in and what goes out. What the contracts are and all your email conversations with clients.

This will help you and future accounts and lawyers.

That kind of information is not something I'm privy to, but I'd say it's about 50/50. It's definitely a laundering scheme for many. They deal with brokers obviously, and those just want a cut, never mind where it came from. But they deliver to a lot of Russian oligarchs. I bet there are tons of schemes.
>If someone pays you 250k for a simple project. Either you got a REALLY good deal or the project is complex and it will require you to hire people. On the latter it's not about solo anymore.

Sometimes it's about the value you deliver.

They had been looking for a solution for months and been unable to find it.

The first consequence of this tech is that we'll have to stop trusting video evidence. What you describe is a use case that will only be valid for a short period of time while society adjust.

What GP is describing is the long term consequence of not being able to trust video evidence. Now even if you film someone red handed, they can deny it.

Another dire consequence is that the entire archive of all videos filmed since the beginning are now tainted by doubt. Any past politician speech, any past horror caught on film, etc. can now be said to have been crafted recently.
