I trained a 128×128 DCGAN on my Macbook M3 and deployed it on a Raspberry Pi 4 connected to a LILYGO TTGO T-Display ESP32. The whole thing runs headlessly as a systemd service and generates hallucinated face hybrids at the press of a button. It is a 6-block generator (latent → 4×4 → 8×8 → 16×16 → 32×32 → 64×64 → 128×128) with feature maps starting at f×16=1024. Corresponding 6-block discriminator. Trained for 800 epochs on Apple Silicon MPS, 4 hours. Dataset was 2480 images across 11 subjects. One dominant anchor class (2000 images) contaminated with minority classes to produce hybrid outputs. (Can you guess who and what was included?). : ) I exported the model from PyTorch to ONNX (float32, 53MB). Inference takes 3 seconds per face on Pi 4. The Pi generates the face and sends it to the ESP32. The title is generated through a dictionary and a template sentence: "This is a NFT and I want to it." The device was built as an art piece. I took it to the streets of NYC and let strangers use it.

Hi everyone, I have a fairly weak undergraduate: a 3.3/5 GPA in Computer Engineering from an average Nigerian university. For my Master's, I studied Artificial Intelligence at an average European university, where I finished with an 8/10 GPA. A condensed version of my Master's thesis was recently accepted at ACL 2026, with a meta-review score of 8/10 and a confidence score of 5/5. It's scheduled for presentation next month. I want to pursue a PhD focused on expanding linguistic resources for low-resource African languages. I know my weak undergrad GPA and the relatively unknown reputation of my previous universities will make it hard to get into top NLP programs (CMU, Edinburgh, ETH, MBZUAI, etc.), though I'm hoping the ACL paper helps offset that somewhat. At the same time, I don't want to end up at a less competitive university just for the sake of getting in somewhere, if it doesn't do meaningful work on low-resource NLP. How should I think about structuring my application strategy here (reach vs. safety schools, how to frame my profile, what to emphasize)? I'd also genuinely appreciate honest feedback on my overall profile. Thanks. submitted by /u/Unlikely_Screen_9287 [link] [Kommentare]

TL;DR for anyone who doesn’t click: CoinGecko looked at which chains kept users active from Q1 2025 to Q1 2026. Ethereum had the highest retention rate at 26.2%. BNB Chain came second at 20.5%. But by actual users retained, BNB Chain led the whole report with 1.49M users still active a year later. Main takeaway: Ethereum had the best percentage retention, but BNB Chain retained the most users overall. submitted by /u/FTXACCOUNTANT [link] [Kommentare]
