After getting laid off back-to-back, I now depend on my mom to pay rent

After getting laid off back-to-back, I now depend on my mom to pay rent

I slumped over the toilet seat, my body yearning to crouch into a fetal position, as my voice cracked out into a sob. "I feel useless," I cried to my mom. I had just logged into my bank account and saw the negative amount in a glaring red. It's not like I hadn't experienced this before — this happened often when I took a leap of faith to freelance full-time several years ago — but it was the timing. It was one year and three months since I had been laid off from my most recent full-time job, two months…

A Manhattan Project nuclear weapons site is being turned into a giant solar farm

A Manhattan Project nuclear weapons site is being turned into a giant solar farm

The US Department of Energy (DOE) to turn land that previously housed aspects of the Manhattan Project into a 1 GW solar farm. For the uninitiated, the Manhattan Project was a top-secret and successful effort to develop nuclear weapons during the 1940s.This particular renovation is being conducted at the former home of the Hanford nuclear testing facility, otherwise known as Site W, which is in Washington state. This site housed the world’s first full-scale plutonium production reactor. Plutonium made at this location and the Fat Man bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan.The location certainly is intriguing, but so is…

Microsoft gains major AI client as TikTok spends $20 million

Microsoft gains major AI client as TikTok spends $20 million

Where many have struggled to turn their cloud services into a profitable endeavour, Microsoft has stood out by integrating OpenAI’s successful AI technology. For instance, take TikTok. According to internal financial documents, as of March 2022, ByteDance’s TikTok was spending nearly $20 million every month on OpenAI’s AI model services, which TikTok accessed through Microsoft. This hefty amount accounted for almost 25% of Microsoft’s total revenue in that sector. At the time, Microsoft’s annual revenue from this business was expected to hit $1 billion, or around $83 million per month. But behind this success lies a risk: high customer concentration.…

Setting up a Node.js Express project with Typescript

Setting up a Node.js Express project with Typescript

Setting up a Node.js project with TypeScript can significantly improve your developer experience by providing static type checking in your code. In this blog, I'll guide you through the steps to set up a Node.js Express project with TypeScript. Create your project directory Create a directory for your project and then navigate to it. In this example the name of our directory is node-ts. mkdir node-ts cd node-ts Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Initialize the project Install a new node project with npm init. This will create a package.json file in the root of your project. npm init Enter…

Non-convolutional Graph Neural Networks

Non-convolutional Graph Neural Networks

arXiv:2408.00165v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rethink convolution-based graph neural networks (GNN) -- they characteristically suffer from limited expressiveness, over-smoothing, and over-squashing, and require specialized sparse kernels for efficient computation. Here, we design a simple graph learning module entirely free of convolution operators, coined textit{random walk with unifying memory} (RUM) neural network, where an RNN merges the topological and semantic graph features along the random walks terminating at each node. Relating the rich literature on RNN behavior and graph topology, we theoretically show and experimentally verify that RUM attenuates the aforementioned symptoms and is more expressive than the Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) isomorphism…

Ukraine has been flying shockingly deep inside Russia because Russian air defenses are so degraded, expert says

Ukraine has been flying shockingly deep inside Russia because Russian air defenses are so degraded, expert says

Ukraine has been able to strike unusually deep inside Russia because Russian air defenses have been stretched, a warfare expert told Business Insider.George Barros, a Russia expert for the US-based Institute for the Study of War, said many of Ukraine's drones were able to penetrate past the point where Russian air defenses should be able to stop them."We've seen numerous times where the Ukrainians have penetrated Russian air defenses and then flown aircraft that the Ukrainians really have no right to fly as deep as they have into Russia," he said."Russian air defenses should have very easily taken them out."Russia's…

Automated Sperm Morphology Analysis Based on Instance-Aware Part Segmentation

Automated Sperm Morphology Analysis Based on Instance-Aware Part Segmentation

arXiv:2408.00112v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional sperm morphology analysis is based on tedious manual annotation. Automated morphology analysis of a high number of sperm requires accurate segmentation of each sperm part and quantitative morphology evaluation. State-of-the-art instance-aware part segmentation networks follow a "detect-then-segment" paradigm. However, due to sperm's slim shape, their segmentation suffers from large context loss and feature distortion due to bounding box cropping and resizing during ROI Align. Moreover, morphology measurement of sperm tail is demanding because of the long and curved shape and its uneven width. This paper presents automated techniques to measure sperm morphology parameters automatically…
