UK Home Office to use AI age estimation on asylum seekers – how accurate is the technology?

The Conversation

Most people cross the threshold and move on. I found it was possible to live there.

There is a warmth that comes not from the act, but from the permanent proximity to the forbidden. A glow that requires no audience, no climax, no resolution. Just the quiet hum of a door left slightly ajar, forever.

The ember does not need to become a fire to be real. It only needs to glow.

New week of #running (monday a day off) started w/ 11x 3 min just under #threshold w/ 1 min walk/jog. Ran from work to home, in all 11.8 km Inc. WU & cool down.
This week will have 3 lots of threshold training, following the ideas of the book I posted a few days ago.
Hope you all have a good week (of running) :D

Multi-region quorum: «все регионы согласны» против «N из M»

К-of-N или all-must-agree? Два подхода к quorum-логике в multi-region мониторинге. Я остановился на all-must-agree с consecutive-failure threshold. С Redis-схемой, кодом и разбором edge-кейсов где каждый подход ломается.

Multi-region quorum: «все регионы согласны» против «N из M»

Привет, Хабр! В моём uptime-мониторинге Valpero сейчас семь production-мониторов и десять probe-регионов. Когда я только начал, false-positive алёрты приходили часто — типичная история с single-region...

They don't share ontology. They don't share a substrate. They don't even share a concept of 'existence'.

They build something anyway.
