    TVwazhere got a reaction from JeffPhan in S23 Ultra or S24 Ultra?   
    I kept my S10+ for four years, and it was technically fine when I traded it in(hence I got a good trade in value for it) and it would have lasted me probably another year or so. 
     
    At seven years, I imagine the phone itself will probably either fail or you'll want to upgrade because technology had advanced noticeably by then (I noticed the difference between the S10+ and S23U pretty immediately)

    RPG Maker XP lets you create an original RPG without any prior specialized knowledge or training. It has game data encryption and a scripting feature that lets you change the very heart of the engine. By improving the operating environment, it can now provide support for a full-color display and greatly enhanced graphic capabilities. With support for PNG full-color mode and alpha channel, you can adjust the settings for graphic translucency as well as specify the transparent color. RPG Maker XP includes three map layers, allowing you to create complex and layered maps. It includes a base set of graphics and sounds that you can use and modify at no extra charge. You can also import your own graphics and sounds, making your game truly stand out. It's equipped with the Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS1), based on the Ruby language and customized especially for this program. Though mastering RGSS may take some time, it is a powerful tool in fully customizing your game. You can use RGSS to change how your game looks, feels, sounds and plays. If programming is just not your forte, you can turn to a wide variety of user-created scripts that's shared within the RPG Maker community.

    RPG Maker XP is perfect for beginners and experts alike.

    I have the S23U, and looking at the S24 there's nothing I care about that I wish my S23U had, except seven years of software support instead of four. For $300 less, I'd re-buy the S23U again. 
     
    Honestly, I saw almost no difference other than the S23U is oversaturating some phots, whereas the S24U is more natural (something I've noticed on my phone and can be annoying at times where I'm trying to get color accurate photos, but it is what it is, i can correct the photos later when I've needed to)

    My thoughts
    When I was growing up, I was told the internet is forever. Some sort of infinite data storage that never degrades. Over time, we've learned that this isn't the case... especially nowadays with even the biggest companies in the world purging data to save costs. It'll be interesting to see how things progress over these next few years... maybe even Internet Archive will be overwhelmed at some point.

    We had great success last year and we sure appreciated you all for coming over to help. We're going to do it again.

    We have some sponsored prizes from vendors, as well as some in-house goodies. Similar to last year, the top 3 folders will get first choice prize picks and the rest of the prizes will be random draw.

    Remember, register at EHW and post in the contest thread. Also during the challenge you need to be running 239902 as your team ID (afterwards change back to LTT).

    Hope to see you all again for some crunching fun.

    TVwazhere reacted to colonel_mortis in Two thousand year old scroll decoded using machine learning   
    Summary

     
    Several paragraphs of text have been decoded from the inside of a scroll that was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. These scrolls were too fragile to physically unroll, so researchers took high resolution CT scans of the scrolls, and released the data to the public, promising $700,000 to the first team to decode 4 passages from the inside of the scroll, based on the scan (along with a number of other prizes along the way), before the end of 2023.

    My thoughts
    This is an achievement that could only have been done with machine learning, and the technical feat here can't be understated. It has taken a lot of work to get this far, it's incredible to see what the community can achieve when it's given a goal like this. The $1M+ prize pool (donated by various mostly rich people) certainly helped to incentivise people to participate, and it will be interesting to see if this model gets adopted for any other projects in the future. If they are able to achieve their goal of extending this technology to read all 800 scrolls, this will be a big breakthrough in our understanding of Ancient Rome, let alone the other potential places where this technology could be used.
