Moosdijkon A Tunguska size burst destroyed Tall el-Hammam, Bronze Age city in Jordan Valley

"Meteors are space objects that have contacted Earth’s atmosphere and are beginning to incinerate, creating a visible vapor trail. Sometimes these are referred to as shooting stars, but if they are exceptionally bright they are called bolides or fireballs. Airbursts are violent explosions that occur when mid-sized meteors streak through the atmosphere, disaggregating as they begin to burn up."[1]

Moosdijkon A person without abnormalities learned to change his pupil size

Huh, I this is something like raising one eyebrow. A lot of people can do it, not everyone. I can do this, but never thought anything of it.

Moosdijkon Modelplace: AI Model Marketplace by OpenCV

When using models becomes more mainstream, I think it's better to strive for transparency than expandability.

Moosdijkon Modelplace: AI Model Marketplace by OpenCV

I'd rather buy a model than a dataset that I have to spend money to train a model with.

Moosdijkon Modelplace: AI Model Marketplace by OpenCV

Disclaimer: I'm not very familiar with the current state of CV and the way models are trained.

What authors could do is train the model on a dataset, but add a specific image that it flags as a key.

That way, if you keep the image private, you can check if a model is a clone of yours if recognises that specific image.

Moosdijkon Show HN: I made a community sourced fitness routine database

I've lifted weights pretty regularly for some years, some years ago. However, the first program I click is gibberish [1] to me (I did olympic weightlifting too, so that's not the problem). Is there some quality control in place?

Moosdijkon Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

You don't say:

>bsdiff runs in O((n+m) log n) time; on a 200MHz Pentium Pro, building a binary patch for a 4MB file takes about 90 seconds.

Moosdijkon Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

The captcha experience was awful but the search was perfect.

Moosdijkon Ask HN: What are some tools / libraries you built yourself?

I don't make videos, but I'd recon that someone who makes long videos, doesn't have time to look at the result of all of the cuts.

Maybe a separate time line with just the cuts that you can fast forward through and see/hear if there's anything you still want.

True, but it might also be one.

Moosdijkon Overnight Pizza and the Consistent Unreliability of Expert Guidelines

>The best is when someone tells you that 100 scientists agree on it, so it must be true, but it turns out that a few claimed it and a bunch of other scientists back them up without actually doing any science.

Im not looking to get into an argument, so I'm going to be short. These 100 scientists' opinions are based on a lot of collective years practicing as a scientist and everything that it entails, so them agreeing with a scientific fact has a _lot_ more weight behind it than >people that don't believe what a scientist tells them.

Moosdijkon An Invisible Tax on the Web: Video Codecs (2018)

The recipe is not patented. This would force them to disclose it. The same goed for WD40. It's not patented because they don't want to disclose the formula.

I think it's internally. The article also states that the users of the code would still have to pay the royalties.

Moosdijkon Show HN: 3D-Parallax, labelfree 3D experience from a 2D image using parallax

That's what I read too. The reason I asked is because "either the distance on the first frame for the case interface : False or the distance when the set depth button is pressed for the case interface : True" is not entirely clear to me.

When I was working on such a project, I had no way of correctly guessing the distance between the screen and eyes.
