My story with film photography actually starts before I ever touched film. It began with an old Canon G7X I had at home. The camera had been damaged by moisture for a long time. The naive me brought it to Japan, hoping it would get fixed here. But after I arrived, it just magically came back from the dead and kept going for about six months before dying on me again. During that short period, I took over a thousand photos with it, and that’s how I got into photography.

A while ago, I encrypted my home server’s disks using a LUKS on LVM setup. While this setup works great, sometimes you might need to free up some space from an existing encrypted volume to create a new one. Because the storage setup is layered–ext4 on LUKS on LVM–resizing isn’t as simple as it looks.

In standard classification tasks, we have all accustomed to treating the network’s normalized probability vector as a proxy for confidence, despite its well-known limitations under uncertainty and distribution shift. In this classic setting, when the network is confident that an instance belongs to a particular class, the network assigns a high output to that class:

Data-at-rest encryption is an important but often overlooked aspect of home servers and NAS devices. In my case, the NAS is just a Mac Mini (Ubuntu) attached to a LAN/Thunderbolt cable, sitting on a shelf in my laboratory. That machine could be physically assaulted by anyone while I am away. For instance, an attacker could boot into a live USB and immediately gain access to all files stored in the clear.

The requirement of the challenge Lyrics Alignment (Zalo AI Challenge 2022) is to build a solution to align a song’s audio file to its corresponding lyrics (in text format). The dataset is not disclosed per the competition’s guidelines. Concretely, the input and output of this problem are as follows:

• Input: the audio file (wav) and lyrics file (text)
• Output: token-wise alignment of the lyrics with respect to the audio file (e.g., mark each token beginning and ending time in milliseconds)
• Evaluating metrics: Intersection over Union (IoU)

Participating in the competition was part of our final examination for the university course “Deep Learning for Data Science” supervised by Dr. Nguyen Tien Huy.

So I think maybe this is the first OC folder for our Thinkpad T430s. I have tried several different macOS versions and premade EFIs, but in my opinion this one which I made is the most compatible one for Mojave 10.14.6, at least on my own machine. Get the EFI on GitHub.

I don’t guarantee that this config will work great on your machine, so it is highly recommended to use this repository for reference only.
