True. I’m no expert in this area, but there are a lot more factors too - including territorial range and even different camera locations.

This catch and release pattern is quite common in many wildlife surveys.

For example, when estimating tiger populations, instead of painting a white dot, rangers set up camera traps to take photos. Then they can use stripe patterns as a signature for subsequent re-appearances. Quite an interesting intersection for image AI with statistical counting methods.

This downward trend has long been in the works.

The current government came into power riding on a wave of popularity, largely driven by their "IT cells". Now comfortably in power, they are probably dismantling the path, to avoid others who might try to follow.

The government is not just in a stand-off with big-tech companies. It continues to view its own citizens as adversaries with frequent internet shutdowns [1].

Spotting a distressed swimmer is possibly much harder than most people expect.

There is a great website where you can try your spotting skills yourself [1].

minutephysics had a nice video about the mathematics that go behind piano tuning too.

Got it. I was looking for input on how generalizable (the ability of weights to change/adapt) when the training labeled data is 100x smaller than the initial pre-training dataset?

Also, I don't understand the need to be so defensive though and the relevance between my employer and my post?

I understand that you do mention the pre-training / transfer learning approach clearly, but isn't it disingenuous to claim that you provide better performance based on (only) 100 labeled examples, when the pre-training dataset (Wikitext-103) actually contains 103M words?

Well, one easy way when using Ubuntu-like distributions is to simply place your `/home` folder on a separate (persistent) EBS volume [1].

With a few on-boot scripts to attach-volumes / start-containers, it should be fairly easy to get going as well.

there are a number of similar paradoxes that arise when considering infinities of different sizes!

Until this interesting video [1] by Tom Scott, I had never considered sand as a non-renewable resource. But now, it is clear that we now have one more resource that we might run out of.

Aah yes, every change breaks someone's workflow: https://xkcd.com/1172/
