Great idea. Let's use highly flammable devices at the end of their useful life to power our largely wooden houses. I'm sure the insurance company won't mind paying when those houses burn to the ground. What could possibly go

Used to listen to NPR all the time, but now they just shit on Trump 24x7. It was fun in the beginning, but got old after a few weeks. I switched to audible, where I remain to this day, and will remain for the foreseeable future.

Just don't expect it to be anywhere near as effective as nuclear nonproliferation treaties. It's mostly software, and any idiot can copy software.

I only mine during late fall and winter, when heat is not wasted. I wonder if they took that into account.

Ban only works if you agree to it. The technology that does not require rare radioactive isotopes tends to trickle down really quickly. Today's unachievable technical capability will cost five dollars 50 years from now. I'm not su

I wish .net CLR would take its place instead. For one thing, as strange as that may sound, I trust today's MS more than I trust Oracle. For another, CLR as of 12 years ago (not to mention now) was already better suited for programming

There have been many opinions in favor of it as well, many from psychologists. So I too suggest you take the time to educate yourself of that part of the opinion spectrum.

Damore didn't fail at providing citations. You did apparently fail at reading the original document, however. References were deliberately stripped out by Gizmodo, and then republished by everyone else.

That was better than I thought it would be. A real, "no holds barred" account, and well written as well. I wish there were more of these, including perhaps accounts of what others have to say about Ellen herself. This really takes

Sure, there's new work all the time. But I think you might be missing the forest for the trees here. The main efficiency gain here is not in how you extract and transform features (although those improvements would also work in YOLO, a

This is not "modern" though, the paper is quite old. He has improved it significantly since then: https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.08242 . Best paper honorable mention at CVPR2017.

They sure can, but usually they attribute their misfortune to inadequate skill, which is mostly wrong as well. Mostly, irrepective of the skin color or gender, the cause of one's misfortune is not being pals with the right people. Iron

All I know is this is a very slippery slope and somewhat of a litmus test, much like Larry Flynt / Hustler case. The reasoning goes that these, admittedly extreme views are a canary in the coal mine, and for as long as they aren't

Seems to me like all the Chinese-made equipment everyone (including FBI) is using is a much more credible threat. This looks like they're just piggybacking on a witch hunt. Disclosure: I am Russian-American, but always voted against Pu

I wonder if someone has tested it for Ryzen SIGSEGVs and hangs. I know AMD said it's not affected, but it'd be good to see some third party confirmation to that.

Any such model MUST show what error handling will look like. Otherwise you end up with "log to console and ignore" approach so prevalent in Android SDK examples, which people _will_ copy unchanged.

I wonder if they find it in their hearts to denounce the purveyors of child porn who have been using Tor extensively and for many years. One of the reasons I will never run a Tor exit node: it is almost certain to at some point help them ac
