    I am too busy to give you the answers you seek.  Always surprising when busy people have time to ask questions online, instead of being busy...

    I mean honestly it's not different from building yourself. The parts are all stuff you can easily get. it's just a stupid expensive pc really for no reason.

    Reposting topics on the same subject is not allowed, these being all about the same build do not require separate topics to answer questions on the same project. Please keep this in mind.

    Well, that's what happens if you try to encrypt a disk filled with a lot of stuffs.
    Maybe moving the content elsewhere first, format then encrypt the disk before moving the content back in is faster.

    No this isn't violating any rules but the conversation has derailed, and gotten out of hand so best to end it here.

    This, planning in advance is entirely pointless since the whole environment will have changed by the time you're ready to buy.

    Wait until it's closer to buying time. Between now and summer prices will be drastically different.

    SansVarnic 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.

    The goal as a forum is to have open discussion and debate. As for the troubleshooting section it is and has been the goal to provide an avenue for members to help each other and yes in a perfect world having everything being solved is great but let's be consciously realistic here. Sometime the answer is providing a direction for the member to take and not to give a specific answer to the issue. Open your mind to this prospect. Give a man a fish you feed him for a day... Teach him how to fish and you feed him for life.   (the fish isn't always the answer)
     
    The goal is not to have every single topic marked solved. The solved mark is a feature provided by the forum devs not by LMG/LTT.
