i have a degree in physics and work in private sector machine vision/machine learning for ag. machine learning is the biggest meme, its just statistics that someone put a veneer on to trick people who dont understand math, cmv
yeah, i kinda lucked my way into my current position, all my knowledge that’s useful for it came from undergrad QM. but if you know how large-dimensional linear spaces function and how to do things like change of bases, projection onto subspaces, etc. you can do most of ML, while largely avoiding a lot of the formalities of probability theory.
as for lucking into my way into my current position, we wanted to get into hyperspectral vision, and no one at the company was doing it, so as an intern i made some really crude python sklearn PLS implementations, that I guess worked well enough to start prototype testing. four years later I have an engineering title and i’ve moved my methods well beyond linear boundaries and have a ui program for training that I’m teaching people how to use now.
I want to present something along the lines of proposing that hyperspectral data should be thought of as an infinite dimensional hilbert space, but i work private sector and can’t present my methods to anyone, including the rest of the company who don’t really care what i do as long as it works. im probably already violating my nda posting this comment.
idiots on reddit are saying the buildings are vaporized, which is simply not true. in the more distant videos you can see debris getting knocked off and the shockwave obscuring the buildings, but here, you can see some buildings still standing, but badly damaged. buildings collapsed and were seriously damaged, but not fucking vaporized. you could probably survive in one of these buildings, but with a shit ton of hearing damage and you’d have to be extremely lucky
there’s reports saying it was 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate
for comparison, the Tianjin explosion was 800 tons and the Texas City disaster was 2200 tons
not just ammonium nitrate, but 2700 tons of it.
for comparison, the Tianjin explosion was 800 tons and the Texas City disaster was 2200 tons
