And its never going to work, at least in its current form. The problem is that some bricks will look the same from top while being different on the bottom. That produces wrong suggestions and you can only discover it when you checked all pieces that are needed for the suggested model. Perhaps it can work with basic collection of pieces, like Lego classic but it can't work with random heap I throw at it.
It will resolve some but it will probably add additional errors like confuse bricks from previous photo with each other. You need to separate pieces and take multiple shots like in that Lego-sorter video. You can probably get away with filming the bricks from different angles, preprocessing video and using that to feed into nn.
The Chrome Web Store already blocks any extension with the ability to download videos from Youtube with the excuse of it "enabling piracy." Ironic considering that they allow downloaders for any other site. Only Youtube.com is banned. It smells like anti-competitive behavior to me.
Proxycurl is ready to initiate a sales team! Initially, Proxycurl operated as a self-serve platform, but as we expanded to cater to larger enterprises, our sales needs evolved. In addition to serving upstream customers, we've identified opportunities in customer acquisition through outbound outreach and up/cross-selling to our existing clientele. This is why it's time for us to establish a robust sales team at Proxycurl.
We are looking to hire at least two Business Development Representatives.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Developing an intimate understanding of our products and services.
- Conducting demo calls with potential prospects.
- Qualifying potential prospects.
- Responding to numerous emails daily, scheduling meetings, and persuading correspondents to get on a call with you.
- Following up, maintaining regular contact with potential customers to nurture relationships and keep our company top-of-mind until the prospect is ready to proceed with a purchase.
- Contacting existing customers for satisfaction surveys, and identifying cross/up-selling opportunities.
- Generating leads by identifying and utilizing new channels/methods to reach potential prospects within our ideal customer profile.
- Reporting your activities and outcomes in a CRM.
It's difficult to understand the full context. For all we know this is some sort of maverick with a Weibo channel (or whatever) to promote. But I think we'd know that by now? No idea.
The author posted this statement under the video:
"Under the guidance of Professor Haixin Chang, postdoctor Hao Wu and PhD student Li Yang from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Huazhong University of Science and Technology successfully for the first time verified the LK-99 crystal that can be magnetically levitated with larger levitated angle than Sukbae Lee‘s sample at room temperature. It is expected to realize the true potential of room temperature, non-contact superconducting magnetic levitation."
He is putting his name out there, including his professor's, and his schools (A decently reputable uni in China).
I utterly fail to see the incentives for being fraudulent here.
I have been thinking what the incentive is for the west to suggest that their people should ask why universities might be motivated to defraud people with fake LK99 results?
I think OP's point is that they're trying to think adversarially about whether such incentives exist, not implying that they actually do. It's a good thought experiment with a claim this large - to see how the claimant would benefit if they're fibbing, I mean.
Surely it is redundant as they considered and came to a conclusion on this topic months ago when "US scientists confirm ‘major breakthrough’ in nuclear fusion"
That one's pretty standard. When the lab is about to run out of money, they fluff up an incremental improvement as a 'major breakthrough'. No false claims or fake science involved.
