Using AI to reverse engineer hardware
After my mother passed away I ended up with a big box full of old film negatives containing photos from childhood family trips and similar. So I decided to buy a negative photo scanner and found that the Plustek 8200i was supported under Linux so I bought that. Only to discover that the chipset in...

How we built the Waifu Vending Machine
On the weekend of Anime Expo, an artist promised the humanly impossible -- custom art commissions with a five-minute turnaround time. The not-so-hidden catch? The artist wasn't a human at all, but an AI exposed to millions of anime images.

Introduction to K-Means Clustering
Under unsupervised learning, all the objects in the same group (cluster) should be more similar to each other than to those in other clusters; data points from different clusters should be as different as possible. Clustering allows you to find and organize data into groups that have been formed organically, rather…
