IIRC UTF-8 proposal used to go to 6 bytes as they already felt that not having part of the code point in the first byte was an issue somehow. I think at least 7 should be allowed. 42 bits could contain all sorts of information. "UTF-80

The "owner" clearly hasn't interacted with real cats. If you don't raise them with humans since they are born, they can't be tamed.

Why would it be surprising? All parts of the body are built like this. Otherwise we would be blobs. Before becoming two parts they probably were part of the same parent protobrain tissue. If you told me the hindbrain was ectoderm-derived bu

Back in 2001, our social medium was Slashdot and no one ever pretended to read the article. No one read the article either. It was slashdotted most of the time anyways.

Have you tried and how do they compare to human models as in the average human in a review? I wouldn't put a lot of weight into an all-clear result but if Ling tiny tells me my function lacks an essential check it will force me to cons

Any model is good enough. Even tiny local models can provide some value and their false positive rate is still relatively low and warrants a proper reply.

I thought this would be about GPUs. Corporate computers often have a 4 or 8 GB VRAM brand GPU that sits idle only running the desktop animations. If you have an HDMI port for the iGPU or however the monitor connection for laptops work, it i

What are you going to steal from Google? The Internet has been dead for years and, after the Scrapocalypse, the small living remnants are behind a login wall. Google can not provide you anything you couldn't find on either your local Z

Welcome to the esoteric church of functional programming! Sure, you could use a Scratch for loop and be done with your cat piano program but have you considered constructing something that theoretically works like a for loop from obscure ca

With proper volume control, even one bit could probably sound voice-like enough to a person in the 1980s. It may be feasible to retrieve a pcm for a very short clip by playing the same recording at different levels which then could be conve

That disclaimer could mean maybe Astra inferred your theory from the pattern of clicks on the Accept button. Anyways, the moral of the story is: Not your GPU, not your data.

It would be interesting to find out what insight he discovered about the game to consistently rise like that. It can't be just play like AI. Any other Korean on the Korean Go program could have done the same. In fact, many did when Alp
