Spectacular Boulder Opal Looks Like a Gem Inside a Tree. There is an endless bounty of eye-catching gemstones throughout the world and this spectacular boulder opal is one unique beauty that looks like a shimmering crystal encased in a tree fossil.
Its opalescent sheen seeps through the cracks of the seemingly wooden rings in lustrous hues of emerald green and aqua blue. Like something out of a fairy tale, the triangular piece radiates through an organic pattern mimicking the growth rings of tree. Though there is some confusion as to whether the piece is an opalized piece of petrified wood or a concretion of ironstone, it is clear that the the magnificent gemstone with its eye-catching concentric circles originated in Australia. The beautiful stone, which was at one point going for an asking price of $2,350, was sold earlier this year (in June 2013) through Planet Opal's Etsy shop. Before the owner and gem cutter sold his piece, he took a video of the opal in light, which can be viewed, below.
If this doesn't terrify you... Google's computers OUTSMART their humans. Analysis Google no longer understands how its "deep learning" decision-making computer systems have made themselves so good at recognizing things in photos.
This means the internet giant may need fewer experts in future as it can instead rely on its semi-autonomous, semi-smart machines to solve problems all on their own. The claims were made at the Machine Learning Conference in San Francisco on Friday by Google software engineer Quoc V. Le in a talk in which he outlined some of the ways the content-slurper is putting "deep learning" systems to work. (You find out more about machine learning, a computer science research topic, here [PDF].) "Deep learning" involves large clusters of computers ingesting and automatically classifying data, such as things in pictures.
What stunned Quoc V. Deep learning. Branch of machine learning Deep learning (also known as deep structured learning or differential programming) is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on artificial neural networks with representation learning.
Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.[1][2][3] Deep learning architectures such as deep neural networks, deep belief networks, recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks have been applied to fields including computer vision, speech recognition, natural language processing, audio recognition, social network filtering, machine translation, bioinformatics, drug design, medical image analysis, material inspection and board game programs, where they have produced results comparable to and in some cases surpassing human expert performance.[4][5][6]
This Mesmerizing Ai Weiwei Installation Is Made From 3,144 Bicycles. Des macros de flocons de neige. 31677_a_large. 60 Newly Discovered Species in a Rainforest. (Photo: Trond Larsen/Conservation International) This is a juvenile planthopper.
It's about 5 millimeters long. Many planthoppers secrete a waxy substance which forms into long strands. These strands, which can break off, may distract a predator while the insect escapes to safety. This little critter is one of 60 species that Dr. Nouveau record du monde de dominos : une tour de 6,03 mètres faite de 11 465 dominos. Une équipe de 50 étudiants autrichiens -Austrian Domino Art- vient de battre le record du monde de chute de dominos avec la plus haute structure en dominos au monde : 6,029 mètres et 11 465 pièces dans la tour seulement (visible dans la scène finale).
Au total il y avait 100 000 dominos placés au sol dans le gymnase, qui ont été installés en 4 jours seulement (après 5 mois de préparation). A 2’12, on voit une étudiante faire une réparation de dernière minute… ouf! Quelle pression devant les équipes Guiness et la foule réunie pour l’occasion. Numen for use « Reality Distorted. Designer: Numen / For Usewebsitefacebook Croatian/Austrian Design Collective *Absolutely mesmerizing!
About the Designers: Numen/For Use is a Croatian-Austrian design collective working in the fields of scenography, industrial and spatial design and conceptual art. The group first formed in 1998 as a collaborative effort of industrial designers Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler and Nikola Radeljković under the banner For Use. Leonardo Da Vinci's wacky piano is heard for the first time, after 500 years. Take a bow: The viola organista's strings are played in the same way as a cello.
Photo: Tomasz Wiech/AFP A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance genius who painted the Mona Lisa, invented the ‘‘viola organista’’ - which looks like a baby grand piano – but never built it, experts say. Million Lines of Code.
