Does a thing sorta car-shaped without wheels count as a car? This thing never even had a lid. (You could call it a car, I guess... Rectangular, and you can sit in it.)
Many people hope a legitimate sarcophagus, with an actual mummy in, might yet be found.
At which point of building a car separate parts become a car? And during maintenance (lets say engine replacement) is a car still a car? I'd say it is if meant to be used as a car again.
Right. So, is a stone box in a pyramid chamber that there is no evidence ever held a corpse, or even had a lid, and certainly will not have a corpse in the future, really a sarcophagus? It seems to depend on overconfident assumptions.
Given their experience, a decoy that looks like a looted tomb would just be good planning.
Of course it's a tomb. You have the mortuary temple out in front of it, with texts telling you exactly what it is. It fits in stylistically with mastabas, step pyramids, and true pyramids that come before and after that are unquestionably tombs.
Old Kingdom mummies don't tend to survive, probably due to a combination of their extreme age, the still-developing mummification process, how uncommon mummification was in that period, and that mummified bodies were targets for looting given the precious objects that could be found on them and in their wrappings. That a sarcophagus is empty that has been open since time immemorial in a tomb that has been known to be looted in antiquity is utterly unsurprising.
Smart tomb robbers would have themselves buried in the tomb along with the king and all his gold, ostensibly to help him in the afterlife. Then they would escape out the back door.
Have they ever found any skeletons of these royal helpers inside any tomb?
It used to be common to execute retainers to help out the king or queen in the afterlife. Sometimes just a few, sometime hundreds. Supposedly everybody who worked on Genghis Khan's tomb was executed, along with his entire funeral procession, and all their executioners, so nobody would know where it was. It was finally found, just recently.
I recall a story where an Egyptian priest tossed the royal mummy in the Nile and committed suicide in the pharaoh's tomb, thinking himself clever for it.
I love these ideas! I've always wanted to do home automation stuff but I worry about sending data to outside parties. Do you happen to know if Home Assistant monitors the things you have installed and/or keep track of the data your devices pass to each other?
The whole philosophy behind HA is "local only as much as possible".
There are a few analytics modules that report back which integrations are in use so that they can help focus dev efforts but those are optional. They also have a cloud service that can be used to help expose your instance externally if you don't want to run a local nginx and expose your home network to the outside world, but even that is not a way for them to monitor the devices you're running.
Plenty of people run HA with absolutely no access to the outside internet (like, the host is firewalled from communicating outside the local network). Plus it's all open source so you don't need to trust anyone, you can look at the code if you want.
All of my stuff is completely decoupled from the internet. I publish mqtt messages to a broker running on PC in my basement. Any interaction with the internet, such as sending messages to my phone, happens from there and I am 100% in control of where traffic goes.
> Articles like this strike me as propaganda. You can believe that covid 19 is real and covid 19 is deadly but still be against lock downs, despite what the propaganda would have you believe.
How is this article propaganda? The nurse said, "many of her patients don't believe they are dying of COVID-19".
The patients weren't arguing against the lock down, they were arguing that the virus isn't real.
I am backing up ~130 GB data (with a combination of large and small files) every 12 hours to S3. The first upload quite some time but all the later ones take ~10 minutes in total.
The Neptunian Desert is the region close to stars where no Neptune-sized planets are found. This area receives strong irradiation from the star, meaning the planets do not retain their gaseous atmosphere as they evaporate leaving just a rocky core. However NGTS-4b still has its atmosphere of gas.
Not sure why GP's downvoted, the definition sucks. What's "close to stars"? 1AU? Here to Pluto? Here to the Oort cloud? 1LY? In the orbital plane? Localized to an arc or surround
ing the Sun?
Then the link to desert goes to nothing but Earth deserts and the wikipedia article was literally made today. It's like the author has no clue what the Neptunian Desert is.
The Capital One Venture Rewards card gives me 2% back on all purchases (I'm in the US). It comes with a $60 per year fee. So, if I spend more than $3,000 on the card over the course of the year it's a net positive. Now, they have access to all of my purchase data but I get around $700 every year to spend on travel. I've weighed the costs/benefits and it's worth it to me.
to get $700 in rewards, you have to charge $35,000 on it, that's almost $3,000 monthly. I guess that would be doable if including rent and utilities (I doubt you can pay a mortgage with credit), but yes, more than the annual fee is definitely easy. Especially the first year in which you get the 50,000 bonus plus no fee.
All I really want to do is allow calls through to my phone that are stored in my contacts. If they're not in my contacts, I'd prefer not to be notified and have it sent to voicemail.
One problem is they can easily spoof the number. I've received 2 calls from Bank of America's 800 number, that weren't actually from Bank of America (they were pretending there was a problem with my account...phishing for info...). They were in my address book, and showed up as such. You can't trust caller ID. They might not have your friends phone numbers, but you probably also have other major institutions that you trust in there as well.
The fact that it is not perfect is pretty irrelevant to the need for this kind of basic functionality. I'm going to assume iPhone here because I'd be surprised if Android doesn't have this capability.
Andoird does. I think they added it in Lolipop about 5 years ago (only allowing calls/notifications from contacts). You have to set up do not disturb and then go and make exceptions for contacts.
The solution to this is never give out any PII when receiving a call. Ask what theyre calling about, then hang up and dial back. Yeah, you enter the hours long call queue, but you're not giving out your info to a potential spoofer. Also, don't call the number they give you on the phone. Look up the number for your bank (usually easy enough to find on the back of your debit/credit card). Same is true for any organization that potentially has info that could be used for identity theft. Hang up and call them back independently.
This method dramatically improves over previous approaches to text classification, and the code and pre-trained models allow anyone to leverage this new approach to better solve problems such as: Finding documents relevant to a legal case; Identifying spam, bots, and offensive comments; Classifying positive and negative reviews of a product; Grouping articles by political orientation;
I'm starting a new project where I'm given many recipes and I need to take in a free form text of recipe ingredients (e.g. "1/2 cup diced onions", "two potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes", etc.) and build a program that identifies the ingredient (e.g. onion, potato), as well as the quantity (e.g. 0.5 cup, 2.0 units). Could I use something like Fast.ai to tackle this problem?
CRF works quite well, it's actually what I utilize right now to approach recipe parsing on https://cookalo.com/. It's based on CRFsuite with Python bindings for data training on already labeled recipes. If you build your own app and want to do some comparison, feel free to run some benchmarks against it.
Yes, that's correct, it's similar to the mechanisms NY Times guys were using and I've been focusing on the datasets to feed the CRF with as it's what drives the whole thing. This is the output I've got based on your example:
[
{
"unit": "cup",
"input": "1$1/2 cups seedless red or green grapes",
"name": "red grapes",
"qty": "1$1/2",
"comment": "seedless or green"
}
]
Don't hesitate to try the API out by pasting some examples to the white box on the site and pressing the "Try it out!" button, it's interactive :)
I'm not sure - what you're describing is information extraction. I haven't tried that yet, but I'm certainly interested in doing so (especially for medical data).
Similarly, could something like this be useful to extract out a command that a user wants to run from a transcription? For example, "Add a user named Jenny to our client list.", which results in the command, 'create user Jenny'. Or, "Could you add Jenny to our client list?", which results in the same command, 'create user Jenny'. Perhaps instead of outputting the next word, output the expected command from a set of commands?
