    Getting the dimensionality correct between layers in an untyped language is incredibly painful. Getting a prototype working on my personal machine and then having to play AMI roulette on AWS to get it running on a GPU is frustrating and exp

    The material conditions of life have been annihilated in the areas that have been ravaged by the opioid epidemic. My brother died of a drug overdose on one of them, and it wasn't because of a lack of moral underpinning. It was beca

    This is kinda off topic, but how on earth did the team who took 300,000$ for light table end up foisting it off on volunteers ?

    I assume that publically traded companies can't legally create new shares of stock without announcing it to their investors, and so trading on that nonpublic information sounds 1)insanely illegal and 2)very frustrating to rewind for re

    The current generation of flagship phones (and last years') have made absolutely staggering advances in the quality of photos taken. It's no contest whatsoever, at least for me.

    This is just google trying to make sense of nonsense Japanese; the Xのこと is something like 'X's characteristics' (sounds really stiff, but that's how i'd concisely explain it) so のごとが好きです is like "i like &#x27
