In plain words

VMXRay allows users to mount and explore virtual machine disk image files directly in their web browser without uploading data to external servers. It supports VMDK, VDI, VHD, and QCOW2 formats, enabling users to preview text and images within disk images and extract selected files to their computer. The tool operates entirely client-side, keeping all data on the user's local machine. It works best in Chrome and Firefox browsers.

  • HI

    I have been taking Andrew Ng's Machine Learning course. The lecture module on Neural Networks ends with an intriguing video of the ALVINN autonomous car driving itself along normal roads at CMU in the mid 90s. I was inspired by that video to see what I could build myself. A link to my incomplete write up was posted a couple of weeks ago (ouch!) but I finally finished it and open sourced the code tonight (so you can build your own self driving car). What do you think? http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar https://github.com/dps/nnrccar
