Cool! Which STT library/service are you using? How are you finding the error rate?

This is a well documented reaction to the beginning of treatment for depression. Essentially the reason is that before they started treatment, they had no motivation to do anything. After they start the treatment, but before they've wa

I read articles saying the jobs will be offset with new jobs, but no one bothers to explain what. That's because it's impossible to know what new jobs will exist in the future. Consider the invention of the digital computer. It

Professors, like VCs, don't have the time or the inclination to help you out of their good will. You need to give them a reason to help you, i.e. make them feel like you are helping them.

Interesting. It seems to alternate between being "stuck" in certain conceptual valleys, and jumping between different concepts quickly. Perhaps an effect more similar to the op could be achieved by enforcing some sort of smoothnes

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that there is already a very large market of people who like to tinker with cars. Imagine a self-driving Delorean ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_DMC-12 )
