The system actually sort of uses the atmosphere as an ambient heat sink (when compressing) or heat source (when expanding).

I wonder if that heat could be stored in a more sensible way, e.g. as heated water in a tank near the bubble. This could improve the efficiency figures at short repeating patterns (charding at high noon, discharging through the night).

As far as I understand they do try to keep the heat around for the next decompression. As of course they need it. But I could not find what type of heat storage they use. Ultimately they "only" seem to need to store it for 12h, right?

Interesting article, but in the full paper their key figure (Fig 2) shows their treatment group of n=3 mice completely responded to the bacterial treatment, but their methods say they treated n=5 mice? Could be an honest mistake but that’s a little concerning for data manipulation.

Also agree that using a PD-L1 mab feels like it’s for show especially considering the cancer model they’re using (Colon-26) was shown to be substantially less responsive to PD-L1 inhibitors…

Not the world’s best paper imo

Yes in figure 2 it's 3 mice, next figure 3 they also have 5 (panel e)

I'm building an app that takes a screenshot every hour from some news websites. It's is a small python script running on my raspberry pi 5 and for now I'm saving the images there. I'm planning to build a front-end app to explorer how each website changes over the course of a day, focusing only on the top of the landing page.

That reminds me of this project: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-7912-spiegelmining_reverse_engin...

Why screenshots and not copy the source?

While the paper is behind a pay wall, the abstract highlights that they used knock out gene editing, meaning this is not a GMO of the old days, with trans genes, but a mkdifcation one could have achieved with classical breeding if given enough time and resources.

If I understand this right, this would even in the EU now be allowed to be sold without the GMO label.

My biggest worry with Immich is how to future-proof the albums. With photos sorted into folders, it should be no problem to access them in a couple of decades. With Immich, I have to rely on the software still working or finding some kind of tool to dump the database.

Thank you, well put. thats why I am using next cloud and manual curation. Folders is the ultimate future proof structure. But I do see the value of a nice UI. But immich hides the files from me too much for my taste.

Although I am sure I can back them up to my PC somehow. But having them just on the server is not my favourite solution.

Surprised that neither the article, nor the comments mention Photoprism from what I can see. It’s not I’ve been hosting Photoprism and syncing my photos with PhotoSync from my iPhone for a while now. I would consider switching to another solution if it had in-browser basic editing (cropping, contrast / white balance adjustment, etc).

https://www.photoprism.app/

anotherpaul · 19 days ago
So am I seeing this right:

Immich, ente and photoprism all compete in a similar space?

Seems immich is the most polished webpage, but which solution will become the next cloud for photos is to be seen. Surely it's not next cloud anymore, considering the comments here.

This is a good resource. But for the computer vision and machine learning practitioner most of the fun can start where this article ends.

nvcc from the CUDA toolkit has a compatibility range with the underlying host compilers like gcc. If you install a newer CUDA toolkit on an older machine, likely you'll need to upgrade your compiler toolchain as well, and fix the paths.

While orchestration in many (research) projects happens from Python, some depend on building CUDA extensions. An innocently looking Python project may not ship the compiled kernels and may require a CUDA toolkit to work correctly. Some package management solutions provide the ability to install CUDA toolkits (conda/mamba, pixi), the pure-Python ones do not (pip, uv). This leaves you to match the correct CUDA toolkit to your Python environment for a project. conda specifically provides different channels (default/nvidia/pytorch/conda-forge), from conda 4.6 defaulting to a strict channel priority, meaning "if a name exists in a higher-priority channel, lower ones aren't considered". The default strict priority can make your requirements unsatisfiable, even though there would be a version of each required package in the collection of channels. uv is neat and fast and awesome, but leaves you alone in dealing with the CUDA toolkit.

Also, code that compiles with older CUDA toolkit versions may not compile with newer CUDA toolkit versions. Newer hardware may require a CUDA toolkit version that is newer than what the project maintainer intended. PyTorch ships with a specific CUDA runtime version. If you have additional code in your project that also is using CUDA extensions, you need to match the CUDA runtime version of your installed PyTorch for it to work. Trying to bring up a project from a couple of years ago to run on latest hardware may thus blow up on you on multiple fronts.

Yes, this is the actual lived reality. Thank you for outlining it so well.
