Federal Cyber Experts Called Microsoft's Cloud 'a Pile of Shit', Yet Approved It Anyway

ProPublica reports that federal cybersecurity reviewers had serious, yearslong concerns about Microsoft's GCC High cloud offering, yet they approved it anyway because the product was already deeply embedded across government. As one member of the team put it: "The package is a pile of shit."

[Перевод] Аугментация ограничивающих боксов в детекции: форматы, `BboxParams` и типичные ошибки

Когда аугментации в детекции «не работают», проблема часто не в модели, а в bbox после преобразований.Неверный coord_format, перепутанные нормализованные и абсолютные координаты, агрессивные кропы, пустые боксы после фильтрации — всё это не ломает код, но quietly ломает обучение.В статье разбираю:— какие форматы bbox поддерживает Albumentations — как правильно настраивать A.BboxParams — когда использовать min_area и min_visibility — почему обычный RandomCrop часто плохая идея для detection — и где пайплайн.

Researchers have developed a cutting-edge technique that uses RNA “barcodes” to map how neurons connect, capturing thousands of links with single-synapse precision. The method transforms brain mapping into a sequencing task, making it faster and more scalable than traditional approaches. In mice, it revealed surprising new connections between brain cells that were previously unknown. This could open the door to earlier detection and targeted treatment of neurological diseases.
