The GIF was created by James Tyrwhitt-Drake back in 2012, when he captured the images at the University of Victoria’s Advanced Microscopy Facility and posted the final product to his Tumblog, Infinity Imagined.
Oh ok. You just randomly found that specific one? As a petapixel browser, would you happen to know where to find more of the same? I think I need a serious electron microscope zoom in fix after this.
Searched only for "electron microscope zoom", it was like the 10th result. It seems like there isn't a lot of gif like this, as you have to create a lot of images one by one.
I guess the problem is not the repetitive task, but electron microscopes are expensive to use, and while you create your gifs others can't use it for actual research. They need vacuum and high voltage to work, which cost money.
I found that to create nice and and clean noise free image you need minutes to hours of exposure time, so it's possible that gif took hours to take. Someone had to pay for the electricity bill during that, I guess you don't want to pay for that frequently.
Please correct me if you are someone with actual experience with electron microscopes. It's hard to find info on this topic.
It is, gradient descent is what you use to find optimal model parameters.
the algorithm takes a step, computes a gradient (whether any nearby options are better), then moves in that direction to improve the parameters, in a loop.
Adding to the above, one of the challenges of GD is how to know whether the global optimum reported by the function isn’t just one of its many imposters (local optima). That’s the “big picture” he’s talking about. Working with Elon was a dead end.
While CSAM might be the word people are using now, how did you determine "porn" means the creation of it involved consent and not that the contents contain sexually explicit material?
Musk has a tendency to be all up in in his people's faces telling them what to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they all went and formed their own company.
It's almost like he and his buddy don know nothing about running a business and fostering human relationships. A couple of small time Napoleons with large time capital can make quite a mess if given half a chance. And currently they are being given a whole chance.
That will never happen. For these people "being poor" still means having a shit ton of cash.
All muskyboy's companies could collapse today and he'd still have millions and millions in a bank somewhere.
The only way this person, and billionaires like him, will feel any consequences is if they are dragged to a fucking guillotine and served justice medieval style.
When the country he’s helping hold hostage, move as a unit to do something about these people.
It’s actually possible to go far enough with that, until we have a situation where there’d be nowhere for them to run no matter what country they ran to. The problem is, the only country that could start this process won’t do what they need to.
This, like pretty much every other major issue, is in the hands of US citizens.
The answer is when enough people get tired of them hoarding everything...
Gluttony was always greed, and the stories about dragons sleeping on gold were just allegories for people like Elmo.
We need to stop acting like this is a new problem and we don't know how to fix it.
It's human variation, some people are wired to do anything for as many resources as possible. Which is fine as long as we get them treatment instead of giving them the keys to the planet.
All we gotta do is stopping letting the wealthy make all the decisions, because they'll keep deciding that they should have more of the money.
Kings with so much money they not only funded but sent their own seasoned commanders across an ocean for a revolution against their rival just so they couldn't have it.
You think a week before the first head came off that the average French citizen believed one day the monarchy would be dissolved?
Like, none of this is new, we just need to look at it on a timescale measured in centuries and not just since we were old enough to remember.
The wealthy don't have to control the government, and they don't even have to be wealthy if the rest of us don't want them to be. That's how modern wealth works, it's 1's and 0's. If the next US government says "that's mine or your cut off from US banking". They're gonna fucking transfer that money, be ause it's not even the banks to begin with.
We have an absolute shit ton of options to work with
Sure. I didnt say musk couldn't be assassinated or otherwise disposed of. Im responding to the commenter that wanted him homeless and poor.
Regardless, things have changed somewhat since the French revolution. A population cant simply rise up and start guillotining billionaires. They can literally just fly away.
Not to mention they effectively control the minds of the population that would take up arms against them.
didnt say musk couldn’t be assassinated or otherwise disposed of. Im responding to the commenter that wanted him homeless and poor.
Like virtually everything else in life, this is not a binary decision...
They can literally just fly away.
They can abandon all their possessions that are stateside and try to flee, and maybe some do. But we're talking about the type of people medieval dragons were based on, they ain't running to save themselves over what they've hoarded.
Not to mention they effectively control the minds of the population that would take up arms against them.
Loads of shit wrong with that statement, but most obviously that only conservatives have guns.
Tldr:
You said one thing is possible.
I said not only is that thing possible, but more extreme things are.
Logically I don't understand how I can help you understand this, and that's the only way I know to explain things, I'm sorry.
You haven't really explained how Musk could ever be poor and homeless?
Any billionaire could discard their wealth "state side" or in a bunch of countries and still be obscenely wealthy.
If you could press a button and instantly delete all of his wealth the world over, he could land a well paid board position with any number of large companies who would pay him many millions just because his name would increase share holder sentiment.
He could just call any multimillionaire who has benefited from his association and say "hey I'm destitute, can you give me a place to stay and some pocket money" and they would gladly agree.
Musk will never be poor and homeless.
Tldr:
You seem to be arguing against a claim that you imagined I made, and / or seem to exist in an alternate reality with dragons and guillotines.
Logically I don’t understand how I can help you understand this, and that’s the only way I know to explain things, I’m sorry.
