Getting started with new and state-of-the-art vision models is often daunting. Documentation can be hard to parse, it can take a while to figure out how to run inference on an image.

We (the Roboflow open source team) actively write open source Google Colab notebooks showing how to use new SOTA models. Our library covers SAM, CLIP, Detectron2, YOLOv8, RTMDet, DINOv2, and more.

We also have code on common vision patterns like counting objects in a zone, vector analysis, object tracking with ByteTrack, and more.

I often turn to these notebooks as a quickstart both at work and for side projects when working with new model architectures: I can take the code I need and get to work solving a problem.
We're not talking about some poor African country suffering form famine. Food affordability is not as big of an issue in the west compared to the cost of housing.

We have mastered agriculture, supply chain and economies of scale to have cheap mas produced food that can keep even the poor from starving(and even affording them enough calories to get fat if they wish), but we did the exact opposite for housing so we can monetize it.

By design, western housing doesn't have the same political and market dynamics that drive cheap food to also drive cheap houses.
The sanctions put huawei 3 steps backwards, but with the Mate 60 pro Huawei just did two steps forward. Maybe next year Chinese semi conductor industry will have neutralize US sanctions and instead of being decades behind they are now then 1~2 years behind ASML and TSMC..

I would be worried if were ASML and TSMC..

>Market forces and competition should help keep speech free because if a private company doesn't allow x group to use their platform, it is likely a competitor will spring up to capture the orphaned market.

This doesn't really apply in the same way in social media. Social media platforms organically turn into monopolies.

X and Facebook and Reddit and Hackernews and Whatsapp are all social media, sure, but they are not in direct competition. One does not start or stop using Instagram because they use Reddit. Same with Hackernews and X, etc etc. The product is different.

When you ban an ideology or a group from a piece of social media, they do run to competitors, but "competitors" which can never penetrate the market because they don't have the userbase, which is the main incentive of social media.

So far-right people get banned from Twitter and they run to Gab, but Gab and Twitter aren't really competitors because Twitter can't ever penetrate into Gab's market (they banned that market to begin with) and Gab can't penetrate Twitter's market (because Twitter is the more attractive platform to begin with, having more users)

The better product is better because of its userbase. There is no real competition, and as such, no upholding of freedom of speech due to it.
They do? You can install Windows on it if you want, and I'm pretty sure all the linuxes will support it like with previous Fairphones. What OS can you install on any other phone that FP doesn't offer?

e.g. here's the official manual for Ubuntu on FP4 https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/443616798209...

Edit: I think I'm mistaken about Windows. On https://www.digitec.ch/de/page/fairphone-5-im-test-ein-smart... I read Windows 11 but that's about the chip being powerful enough to run that, not that the phone specifically supports it
Ah alright. I’ve seen this done with an Erlang VM on Xen where Erlang is the “OS”. To me that seems a little more natural. But Unix as an “API” can work too though the processes are not as lightweight as Erlang’s.
There's a reason that after the cooperative multitasking experiment in Windows 3.1, the world went with preemptive multitasking.

But, it is free and it is already done. It is a good tool to estimate what would be your gain from solar power.

My phone was €150. It does everything I need just fine. The screen is annoyingly big and it sends too much data to Google/HMD/whoever though. I would prefer to have the same phone but with AOSP android (as much as possible).

I don't see how phones have improved at all in the last several years, aside from the camera. In many ways they've gotten worse.

Given that my last 3 phones all died when I dropped them (in part because they're too big and too thin) I don't really want to spend a lot of money on one.

I really wish I could get a slider like an HTC Touch Pro 2 with a modern OS. Or just an iPhone 5C with software updates.
It's been so obvious that this is VC propaganda.
The model 3 and BMW i4s are both classified as compacts in the American system (same as Honda accords). The leaf, bolt, and i3 are sub compacts (civic class).

I have an i4 now, and I really feel the extra 2 inches in width it has over my previous Acura ILX (basically a fancy Honda civic). None of the sub compact EVs have very good range yet.
I posted in a comment elsewhere in this thread that I'm planning on transitioning soon from a Fairphone 4 to a Pixel 6 Pro + GrapheneOS.

This announcement makes me even more sure of my choice, because it seems Fairphone are starting to lose their way.

One of the reasons I really liked the company in the past was their commitment to extend the longevity of their flagships. They released a "plus upgrade" kit for both the FP2 and the FP3.

To see them release a whole new flagship only a year or so after the FP4 release is ... a shame.

Flatly put, their products aren't very good when you compare them to the "big" vendors like Samsung/Apple/Google. What differentiates them is their commitment to environmental sustainability, un-sucking the rare-metals supply chain, etc. If they're going to release a new flagship every year, how does that make them any better (from a sustainbility POV) to the morally and ethically bankrupt companies they're competing with?
- What is the black, solid round thing next to the rear cameras?

- There are no hardware kill switches to turn the microphone and cameras off, are there? So if you don't trust smartphones to not be compromised you must always assume you're being filmed and recorded. (Yes, I know I am paranoid, you don't have to punish me with downvotes for that please. Instead please spread positivity by upvoting other people's comments, the effect is almost the same :)

- The "hole punch" front camera makes it difficult to put e.g. duct tape over it to compensate for the lack of kill switches.
It should not be surprising that asking an AI to not tell the truth leads to the quality of its' answers deteriorating.

I did not say they asked the AI to lie. I did they asked it not to give a correct and truthful response.

Maybe this explains much of the deterioration of ChatGPT that has been reported.
I guess the idea is to provide some shields to people making a transition, as they could suffer ostrisation or threats from people who have animosity against transgender.

Not everyone is a world famous artist that certainly can hire a whole team of body guard h24 all year around if they feel like it's appropriate.

I'm not aware of the the law in question. It seems strange to me to target specifically naming the person with this or that name, rather than cover the case in a more generic way like creating threats on someone's life or social integrity through public release of intimate information.
Unfortunately we don't have any good clients for android that do videocalls properly(not even qtox on PC works that great). aTox is the only android client that was starting to get the proper features but the maintainer is busy with IRL stuff. You're right though, text and file transfers work pretty well and we are writing replacements for the existing code to make everything more reliable(and faster in the case of file transfers).
I was talking about the GPG agent, so that the key on the smart card can be used to for sudo elevation on the remote host. This usually requires user interaction with the key, so just having access to the agent wouldn't do much. I don't think the ssh agent would help with this.

To your point, I wonder whether that consideration holds when the private key is held on an external device, like is the case with a YubiKey. I use that setup, and I can't add the key to the ssh agent.

$ ssh-add .ssh/id_yubikey_gpg.pub
Error loading key ".ssh/id_yubikey_gpg.pub": error in libcrypto

SSH connections work fine with that key.
I wonder if it's because there isn't that much map data to be had, not like search data, so no matter what price they set their competitors could siphon off all their data for relatively cheap.

And sure, a user agreement is a way to litigate after the fact (assuming you catch them in the act) but once they have the data it doesn't matter.
AFAIK They have the best track record of upgrading Android smartphones, across all their models. Most of the upgrades they are doing it largely themselves beyond what SoC-vendor provides.

It's not extremely difficult (though Google makes it harder every year), but does require people dedicated to "simply" upgrading. A team of 10 of decent software engineers (juniors are okay as long as they have proper embedded systems education, and they aren't afraid of huge code bases) should be able to handle that. Rock-stars should be able to manage that single-handedly (again assuming they only do that).

That being said, for Fairphone 5, they are using a ""special chip"" for which Qualcomm will provide longer software support than they do for other chips (But I think they still need to extend upgrades themselves after Qualcomm stop). In this case, IMO, it's just a way for Qualcomm to make more money off long support. (The chip probably has some difference compared to standard Qualcomm smartphone SoC, because modern smartphone Qualcomm SoC may suicide itself pretty fast with a removable battery)
I'm curious about this as well, for all purposes the QCM6490 is made for Android and the benchmark I found seem to indicate that the TDP is half a Snapdragon 888 for ~30% less performance. The CPU looks pale in comparison to a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Gen 2 but these are very high-end chips.

I'm not sure how reliable these benchmark are and they don't indicate anything about actual power consumption or efficiency. I wonder if there are good and in-depth reviews for mobile CPUs.
So we should ban owning farm land? Or maybe electricity/fossil fuel production? Those are also needed for human survival.
That policy has been tried for 50 years and all we've seen (and the topic of this thread) is prices gone higher and higher, and properties become more and more consolidated under megacorporations.
Why is case sensitivity in passwords important?

If your answer is: because 62^8 (^12, ^16) is much bigger than 36^8 (^12, ^16) then I assume you don't actually know how people crack passwords, which isn't brute-force.

If your system is capable of being brute-forced, you already failed, because there's no reason to give someone enough guesses that a brute-force approach succeeds.
Capitalism.

The demise of end-to-end connectivity brought on by NAT was a boon to capitalists who can now be middlemen and charge rent for it (either in the form of money or "engagement" aka advertising/spam, tracking, etc). They aren't particularly interested in going back to the old standard even if we now have the technology to do so.

Software that can take advantage of end-to-end connectivity is nowadays very rare, so even if tomorrow we magically had full IPv6 deployment worldwide, not much software would take advantage of it and I'm not sure there would be any commercial pressure to develop it.

Even if your Mac and iPhone had IPv6 and were end-to-end connectable, Apple would rather have you use FaceTime with an Apple account rather than just type in the IP address/DNS of the other side and call them directly. Same with all the other tech companies.

I can't find any Samsung prices for the M20 screen. There are plenty of off-brand Chinese displays to be found, but none of them seem to have any guarantee of being genuine, original parts.

If you're willing to go for a subpar screen replacement I suppose that's cheaper, but the two products serve completely different markets. A promise to keep a stock of replacement parts comes with higher prices, stripped screens from Chinese recyclers can sell replacement screens for much cheaper as long as supplies last.
Like the article states, this is likely to end in a settlement.

I would hope settlements for power abuses of this type would come out of this PD's pocket. Meaning: abuse power = less $ left for paying officers, obtaining gear, etc. So that in future, PDs would be more hesitant to stomp on things they don't like simply because they can.

But who am I kidding.. probably taxpayers on the hook as usual (same with court costs).

Btw: too bad victim deleted his post. No deletion (or even apology) needed.

censorship is all about power so the focus is on controlling any mechanism of broadcast communication that could result in political organization. traditional voice communication over phones is very inefficient compared to internet based text communication so it would probably be a low priority by comparison.
> To me sounds like a conspiracy theory

I would like you to pay attention to the word "seem", which describe how their action - or lack thereof - appear to a third party, especially one which has been subject - and continues to be subject - to said "tasteless and despicable" actions, and to avoid jumping to conclusions.

> The other alternative being, of course, that there is no crime happening here [...]

That hardly sounds like the only other alternative. Even without assuming the malice of some hypothetical "conspiracy", it might be the case that

(1) the crime isn't happening here, on US soil, and thus the relevant authorities lack the power to pursue it (see also: spam call centers located in foreign countries);

(2) whoever is tasked with pursuing said crime has other, higher-priority crimes to deal with, and decided that the potential pay-off was not worth the cost of prosecution (see also: the whole US justice system);

(3) the prosecution is waiting to build a stronger case;

(4) it is not clear who should prosecute who (see also: diffusion of responsibility);

(5) the file was lost;

(6) the file got eaten by a grue;

(7) any other reason for why a large and complex machine might turn out to not be effective in dealing, in a timely manner, with a loose group of people who gather on servers hosted on foreign soil, which are not "KF opponents [...] using corporations to censor legally protected [sic] speech";
Besides what sibling said, they mention a more general use case towards the end:

> We can see a lot of potential uses for microVMs, not just in cloud scenarios. The ability to run a single program built for one OS on top of a totally different OS, without the overhead of running a full emulated environment all the time, could be very handy in all kinds of situations.
Cybersecurity Incident at NSF’s NOIRLab
The case that fits the pen remedies this I am told. I'll have to confirm.
That can't be right. The last phone I bought (Xiaomi Mi 9) only cost me $600nzd and that's the most expensive phone I've bought.

And it's so powerful it still does everything I need years later.

Are normal people actually utilising phone specs these days? Sure some people game but surely everyone else is barely using the CPU etc
Thanks for the overview; I've been holding out for the FP5, but am not sure yet if I'm going to buy that or get the FP4 at a discount (I missed the previous discount).

FP4 is also better at being €120 cheaper, and presumably €170 if they apply the same discount they did in April :) And I think it has dual SIM as well?
Not interested.

The main risk is, it's Google, and it will be discontinued or over-monetized eventually.

Better look for more reliable alternatives.
I agree it's a shame that Google didn't do a better job with the older Pixel devices.

It's worth noting, however, that all of their newer flagships (based on a CPU design they have more control over) have guaranteed security updates for 5 years after release.

FWIW I despise Google and do my absolute best to avoid compensating them, but I do think things like their guaranteed security updates are a step in the right direction, and hopefully we can only get further improvements from here.
How many steps between that and the Māori having a casus belli to engage in open warfare?

Stuff like this may have a certain level of "might makes right" (similar question for Hawaii, although there it's obvious who would win in a fight) but not always (Irish independence at close to the peak of the British Empire, the Cod Wars, that the US didn't keep all of Mexico after the war, just Texas, Arizona, California, etc.)
They don't have to police it, but they don't have to facilitate it either. ISPs should be just as free as any other company to decide who they want to do business with.
This still leaved the gap for small cars you can cram 4 people inside + some luggage unfilled. Also, are manufacturers taking L7e vehicles seriously, or are they styling them like toys still? Early EVs suffered form car companies deliberately making them look non-serious.
What good would that do if people keep buying their product as-is?
Most people by now watched a thousand online lynchings of people who pointed out the propaganda. They're either afraid or they themselves enjoy a good lynching. There is also very little risk of it backfiring as censorship takes care of any successful counter arguments.

It's easier to understand through the lens of history, specifically pre-ww2 Germany. The first Germans to turn NAZI were the stereotypical ones : fat, lazy, single, unemployed. Giving these people "ein Feindsbild" and a reason to be proud, without having to move a finger, resonated with these groups.

How did they get the rest of the population in line you ask? There's an old German joke from that time: "Four Germans and a nazi walk into a bar. Five nazis are now drinking beer together happily."

So to answer your question: No, they're not aware, even though it's this obvious. Reaching these people would mean them having to first admit they were wrong. And that's been pretty much out of style lately.
I did not fully understand your post (men are irrational when being accused of enabling child abuse, I still don't know what kind of feminists you mean).

I think you also didn't spend enough time among incels, KF or /pol/ to understand them.

KF is a moralist forum, they have more jn common with progressive twitter with the incessant policing of behaviour than incels or /pol/.

Incels resent women because they don't have them, it's a sour grapes situation.

/pol/ is a containment board for politics on 4chan. These people exist before feminism took the internet stage of most important topic, even in the atheist vs religious era. I don't think they're a response to feminists generalizing men (which is irrational, if you disagree please state your reasoning).

Author here. Scheduling is a spectrum. Current OS are preemptive, but also a bit cooperative. An app can make the decision of yielding control.

The opposite could work: OS is cooperative, unless some threshold of resource usage is triggered (a timer interrupt of instance). It then context switch to enter a, hopefully rare, failure mode, thus turning preemptive. Kill the app, and get back into cooperative mode. Let's call it optimistically cooperative & pessimistically preemptive.

Something that I don't see discussed in the comments yesterday:

There seems to be this other company that made a device to read error codes, and then theres legal trouble surrounding that and the copyright on the firmware of the original controller board.

But all this seems like not the best approach-

The electronics on the original boards themselves do not appear that complicated. This machine itself, mechanically, cannot have all that sophisticated of mechatronic interface.

Why not just circumvent everything with a completely new 3rd party control board that replaces the OE electronics completely and runs the machines?

People design and develop systems every day for fun even that are an order of magnitude more complicated than the control system of this ice cream machine.

Are the machines leased or owned? Because if they are owned outright (which is implied by the fast that ifixit was able to buy a used one to work on) then wholesale replacement of the control electronics would just void any warranty but would not be able to be hit with any sort of firmwarm hack copyright claim, assuming any new software writted for the control logic was clean-sheet engineered and not reversed from the Taylor control system.

At some point if they are leased, breaking the lease and buying the machines outright and then upgrading the controls would potentially be the way forward for the franchises.

Unless in the lease there is a clause that breaking the lease requires repossession of the hardware from the premises.

At which point franchises need to stand up to McDonalds corporate and demand a new supplier of machines of a new design.
Older FPs don't have particularly great Linux support, btw. That's mostly the fault of Qualcomm, though.
