This is how your parents and grandparents lived. Stuff got dirty, and instead of tossing it after having used it once, they.. washed it! When I go shopping, I: * bring my own bag * buy oat, rice, sugar, pasta, chocolate etc in bulk (w&#x2

I'd argue the other way around. Judges have are humans and have opinions. But they must be principled, if anything. Lady justice has a blindfold after all. The Supreme Court is just that, 'Supreme'. So personally I'd exp

The limit for this sort of exercise is "holding everything in memory". Because training of neural networks require that one updates the weights frequently. An NVIDI A100 has a bandwidth of 2 Tb/sec. Your home ADSL something i

All I'm saying is that you don't take into account all paths for each node. Just for ex 100 random walks starting at each node. And that results in an embedding that is 'good enough'. Of course it is better to throw more

You subsample. One package I used made N 'random walks' for each node. The random walks are written out as 'sentences', where the node id's are words. That results in a huge text file, that you then embed as if it w

Just because they got a 'penalty' of 18k$ does not mean that they did not pay liability.

Seizing is a legal construct. It's not "I'm grabbing hold" seizing. It's the "I've had a judge validate that legally I am now the owner" variant.

I-am-not-a-lawyer (nor a judge for that matter), but it seems to me that that line of reasoning can be shut down extremely easily. You're buying a licence. So the "buy" button is not fraudulent.

You're mixing analyses. "burning coal" and "electricity" are not an activity. They are transformation methods to obtain energy. Nobody generates electricity or burns coal for the intrinsic purpose; those transformat

Even if I also have a hunch that your attribution of inflation to handouts is true, I do not believe that it has been established. What is clear however, that increased prices for labor, wheat and energy, combined with post-covid logistics

Amazing sum up, thanks. Just though, I'd say that neither is a secessionist (both want 'one china'). And technically the PRC is a bunch of rebels that are illegally preventing the Taiwan govt from exercising their democratic

We know the structure of some proteins. It's not that it's impossible to measure, it's just very expensive. This is why having a model that can "predict" it is so useful.

Well they don't have the same threat model. Teenagers and grifters can't edit as easily in the case of a commercial publisher. That's not to say that they don't have their flaws, or that they are superior to Wikipedia. J
