Interesting. So salting your plates skirts reflectivity and plate obstruction laws because a) the plate is still visually unobstructed, and b) the laws apply specifically to the reflective coating rather than infrared visibility more broadly?
In my experience the readers are not that good and you really don't need to intentionally do anything to the plate in order for it to be unreadable. Normal wear and tear is enough at least for the front plate (ie. damage from road gravel, otherwise uninteresting collisions with various obstacles while parking and so on).
My mom is a radiologist nearing retirement and from the time we were old enough to seriously consider career paths she would tell us "Do not become a radiologist". As she tells it, the reason is outsourcing. Radiology is probably the single easiest medical field to outsource, and more and more of her office's work has been contracted out to doctors in India over time.
She doesn't consider AI as much of a threat... but I don't think she fully understands the leaps and bounds by which software is getting better at detecting patterns in images. As a software developer, I know that my field is still in its infancy. I wonder what it's like to look back on your profession, knowing your generation is the last of its kind.
Yeah your moms intuition is correct but yeah perhaps she don't get just how far ML/DL is (most people aren't really)
Image/pattern recognition is already being used intensively and the only thing that keeps it from being used more is legislation and humans.
Having more than a thousand moles and having had two melanomas I am still hoping for the arrival of a system that can do complete scan of me and automatically figure out the areas of concern.
Currently I am at Sloan Memorial and using Molesafe as a more manual way to do the same. My dermatologist on of the best with regards to melanomas in the world using colonoscopy to see if there are any melanomic cells, there is even a 3model of me in blue spedos.
But I really would feel much better when they start taking the shots regularly and have the computer look for the odd ones out.
I just really can't imagine, given the progression we see in AI image recognition on a daily basis these days, that medical fields like dermatology or radiology that revolve around scrutinizing things visually will continue to exist in anything but a dramatically shrunk supervisory form 20-30 years from now.
The theory is that if the post office contacts the police, the police will have the post office confirm the delivery, which you could then deny. There was a Cleveland Indians player a few years that had a big package of pot delivered to his house and his downfall was signing for the package.
The color scheme here is really poor. It took me too long to realize that bright orange was not a step down from bright red, but in fact dark red, pink, and dark orange were between them. So the brighter red indicates more violence, but the the darker orange indicates more violence? Just use a single color gradient and spare us all the headache.
>I tend to overplay them because I feel like doing otherwise would be gloating.
A lot of life events are the same way.
When someone asks how work's going, I don't want to be honest and talk about how goddamn happy I am seeing that fat number land in my Mint sidebar every two weeks since that promotion. So I say "It's hard work!" instead.
That's a very good question. I was thinking of legal tender laws, which I understand to usually stipulate that any debt incurred must be payable in cash money issued by the relevant state.
Of course, there are a number of ambiguities there, so maybe it is possible to run a bank without providing cash withdrawals and still be on the right side of the law in the US.
BECU (Boeing Employees Credit Union, WA State) only has tellers handle cash out of their main office, in Tukwila. Every single other "branch" is a Service Center with ATMs. They will help you get a loan or print a cashier's check, but send you to the ATM for any withdrawals.
>giving owner Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. an advantage in the race among technology giants to capture the next generation of internet users
...seems suspect. Most western Chrome users started off with Netscape, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc., and then switched when they got better machines and got tech-savvier and realized it was a better browser.
So just because a browser reaches a user first does not, I think, mean it has "capture"d that "generation".
I think you overestimate most people. There’s a reason why IE is still supported on the web. People will continue to use what they know if it isn’t negatively impacting them. Most people don’t use all the extra features in the browser. They just want Facebook to work.
That said, I don’t trust the security of this browser so I don’t think it’s a good thing people are using it.
>Sure, you get some binge subscribers who exploit the system, but they're not enough to bring down the entire enterprise.
Especially for movie theaters, where the marginal cost of additional filmgoers isn't as high.
If I watch a second Netflix movie, Netflix has to spend 2x as much on bandwidth to serve it to me.
If I theater hop, the theater doesn't really have to spend anything more. The only cost to the theater is the opportunity cost of me not paying to see a movie I otherwise would have paid to see.
In other words, as long as the MoviePass subscription cost is higher than the opportunity cost of losing the average moviegoer's ticket revenue, then everyone wins. In fact, the theater probably really, REALLY wins because the more often I'm at the theater, the more often I have a chance to buy concessions.
Obviously, things can change with Network Neutrality repeal, but: exactly whom are they paying for that incremental uptick in bandwidth usage (i.e. on the margin)?
Pretty annoying, though, that they hijack users' familiarity with the red dot to deliver the useless notification that "You are not logged in on this device".
It's essentially an ad that gets you to click it by making you think you are somehow logged in on a site you don't have an account on. I emailed them about this because I think it's an awful pattern, and did get a response but not one that indicated they understood the problem with this deceptive marketing technique. It makes me avoid clicking links to dev.to.
