Look at bottom centre

Edit: I'm getting upvotes but I'm not technically in the right here...

It uses a neutral net that he designed and trained, so it is AI. The public's view of "AI" seems mostly the generation stuff like chatbots and image gen, but deep learning is perfect for science and medical fields.

I found his paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-3881/ad7fe6 (no paywall 😃)

From the intro:

VARnet leverages a one-dimensional wavelet decomposition in order to minimize the impact of spurious data on the analysis, and a novel modification to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) to quickly detect periodicity and extract features of the time series. VARnet integrates these analyses into a type prediction for the source by leveraging machine learning, primarily CNN.

They start with some good old fashioned signal processing, before feeding the result into a neutral net. The NN was trained on synthetic data.

FC = Fully Connected layer, so they're mixing FC with mostly convolutional layers in their NN. I haven't read the whole paper, I'm happy to be corrected.

I think I'll wait for a better source than the Daily Mail before I consider it dead.

I wasn't entirely serious, but...

If memory serves, you just add lemmyverse.link/ after the https:// bit, so it'd be
https://lemmyverse.link/lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It looks like lemsha.re works similarly:
https://lemsha.re/https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/40704282

It's a bit weird that it insists on the link being via https but then includes that in the url...

You missed a great opportunity to use lemshare/lemmyverse here

I use the Android skin, and am happy with it, despite it being marked as beta. I think that having the native feel is important, even if it's not quite as polished.

Yup, same as they could clone git repos in one shot, but they instead crawl every single page.

[–] Deebster 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This is brilliant, I hope we see loads more of these edits.

We're all getting invited.

I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.

Hover text:

Our nucleic acid recovery techinques found a great deal of homo sapiens DNA incorporated into the fossils, particularly the ones containing high levels of resin, leading to the theory that these dinosaurs preyed on the once-dominant primates.

Transcript:

[Three squid-like aliens in a classroom; one alien stands in front of a board covered with minute text and a drawing of a T-Rex skeleton. Two aliens sit on stools watching the teacher alien. The teacher alien on the left is on a raised platform and points at the board with one tentacle.]
Left alien: Species such as triceratops and tyrannosaurus became more rare after the Cretaceous, but they survived to flourish in the late Cenozoic, 66 million years later.
Left alien: Many complete skeletons have been discovered from this era.

It's going to be really funny when our museums get buried in sediment.
