I did some "gifted student" programs in middle school and high school, although not the specific one discussed in the article. This was my experience: > And how are kids even suppose to know about these schools at a young age?

The big issue with doing that sort of thing these days is that for the price of the specialized hardware you'd need, you can just buy mass-produced general-purpose computers.

by csande17 6y ago
You can register a Gmail account that contains dots -- mine does -- but you can't register an address that collides with another address if you remove all the dots.

OpenAI's goals are (1) make money and (2) generate positive press coverage about OpenAI. (They make statements about wanting other things but that's mainly to help them achieve (2).) Prioritizing people with concrete project ideas

Surely the solution here is "put the model on BitTorrent, you cowards". Like, okay, the model's big and unwieldy to run. But hardware's always getting better, and there are lots of research use-cases where it's okay

The Steam thing looks like a separate issue from whether Twister OS is 32- or 64-bit. They're running the x86 version of Steam in an emulator, and that emulator probably only supports 32-but software.

For what it's worth, I fired up BBEdit (another popular commerical Mac code editor) and pasted in some Arabic text. It didn't behave remotely correctly -- the text shifted around bizarrely as I moved the intertion point. I think i

That's the thing, though -- even in Python 3's model, neither of those operations produce the expected result in all cases. If I reverse "réal", I might get "laér" as expected, or I might get "láer" -

I've recently been using some other languages that use a Python 2-esque "strings are byte-strings that are probably UTF-8" model, and I actually think it's a better choice than what Python 3 went with. Sure, you can argu

I could be mistaken, but it looks like that feature is mainly for showing whitespace characters (space, tab, carriage returns), while reveal codes showed the formatting , like bold and italic. A bit like showing the HTML tags that make up

I'm now thinking about the math here. If they put Reader in maintenance mode, even with big-company inefficiency it'd probably only take three full-time engineers to keep it running. That means that they'd need revenue of $4.

I'm curious which part you think is unlikely: that Google will make a tool to create WebBundles (what, are they just going to sit on their hands and wait for someone else to write one?), that that tool will include well-known third-par

There is a very simple way in which WebBundles will be used to bypass ad blockers: The tool to create WebBundles will, in all likelihood, be created and maintained by Google. Google will program this tool to detect script tags with a src of

It's like the old saying goes: if you buy Apple, you're not the customer. You're the product, and they'll sell you to Facebook for a 30% commission.
