the original dragonball is based on journey to the west, which had characters who were Buddhist gods. As dragonball went on they sort of turned those religious/mythical themes into more digestible fantasy/scifi.

I think the main problem with voice interfaces is that it's not discoverable. You need a good understanding of what the system can and cannot do, its current state etc before even speaking. CLI has the same issue, but at least you can

Those studies are seriously flawed imo as their methodology is to filter on non-anglicized Chinese names and use that as a proxy for foreign money. That would describe a lot of people that aren't recent immigrants, like me. If anything

I thought it was easier to tell which ones were computer generated rather than which were painted by a human. The computer art all seem rather abstract yet uniform. also the high-fidelity, near-photographic paintings are always human.

I was in a similar spot almost two years ago. I actually didn't mind the work that I did, but it just became rather dull. So I quit and traveled. It does seem like traveling is the "default" thing to do to cure one's enn

Tagxedo http://www.tagxedo.com seems to do a pretty good job with word clouds. SVGnest could in theory make word clouds, but the placement rules would need to be changed to optimize for perceptual qualities rather than packing c

I started in November and worked on it off and on. I guess about a month of work. The NFP generation algo is fairly complicated, that took most of my time.

The one I compared with is mynesting which has a pay-per-use model. They also make nestfab, which is 2k+ per seat I believe. There are lots of others at various price point, but none that are free it seems.

OP here. I'm a pretty big CNC enthusiast and part nesting is a problem I face regularly. The software that does this is all pretty expensive and I couldn't find an open source implementation, so I decided to write it myself. Try i

so part nesting is a pretty common problem in the laser cutter/CNC world. Commercial software that does this is pretty expensive, and I couldn't find any open-source implementations out there so I thought I'd write it myself.

up close the lack of parallax would give it away, but I think it would work ok if the viewer is sufficiently far away.

happened to me too. I thought it was a problem with the heating system itself (why wouldn't the nest be getting a charge?) but now it all makes sense.

Is there a difference between prescription probiotics vs say probiotic yogurt or over the counter supplements? I've also had digestive problems for years that may have been the result of antibiotics.

Since this is no longer an option I assume that experiment didn't go well. I wonder what ideas came out of that group, a post mortem would be interesting.

the main problem with Destiny is the repetitive game-play. It'd be fine for a single-player campaign, but you're expected to do essentially the same things over and over again to level up. The saving grace is that grinding with yo

possibly, but none of the cropped examples have cropped chins. It's also well known in photography that you can cut off someone's forehead, but never their chin.
