Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are commonly used for machine vision purposes, where they are tasked with object recognition. This is accomplished by taking a multi-layer network and using a training …read more Continue reading Analyzing Feature Learning in Artificial Neural Networks and Neural Collapse
Shell scripting is one of those skills that are absolutely invaluable on especially UNIX and BSD-based systems like the BSDs, the two zillion Linux distributions as well as MacOS. Yet …read more Continue reading Pnut: A Self-Compiling C Transpiler Targeting Human-Readable POSIX Shell
Logarithms are everywhere in mathematics and derived fields, but we rarely think about how trigonometric functions, exponentials, square roots and others are calculated after we punch the numbers into a …read more Continue reading Manually Computing Logarithms to Grok Calculators
Could carbon fiber inflict the same kind of damage on the human body as asbestos? That’s the question which [Nathan] found himself struggling with after taking a look at carbon …read more Continue reading Could Carbon Fiber be the New Asbestos?
Implantable electrodes for the (human) brain have been around for a many decades in the form of Utah arrays and kin, but these tend to be made out of metal, …read more Continue reading Brain Implant Uses Graphene Instead of Metal Probes
It would seem fair to say that the second half of last century up till the present day has been firmly shaped by our relation with technology and that of …read more Continue reading Mechanical Intelligence and Counterfeit Humanity
Few types of accidents speak as much to the imagination as those involving nuclear fission. From the unimaginable horrors of the nuclear bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima, to the fever-pitch …read more Continue reading Reviewing Nuclear Accidents: Separating Fact From Fiction
Hidden states are a fascinating aspect of matter, as these can not normally be reached via natural processes (i.e. non-ergodic), but we can establish them using laser photoexcitation. Although these …read more Continue reading Using Femtosecond Laser Pulses to Induce Metastable Hidden States in Magnetite
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a field of ever-growing importance, with many startups and existing companies seeking to either improve on existing AM technologies or market new approaches. At the RAPID …read more Continue reading New Additive Manufacturing Contenders: HIP and Centrifugal Printing
The planet Venus is in so many ways an enigma. It’s a sister planet to Earth and also within relatively easy reach of our instruments and probes, yet we nevertheless …read more Continue reading The Continuing Venusian Mystery of Phosphine and Ammonia
