+1 to this. Scott LaFaro was an incredible bassist who sadly died shortly after these recordings were made. Also, for work inspired by Bill Evans, I would recommend Chucho Valdes' lovely solo tribute, "Bill (Evans)". https:&

For me, the thing that killed voice commands had nothing to do with speech technology. It was latency and error handling. At the start of my morning commute, I would say, "Ok Google, navigate to work". Often, this would fail becau

Is there a name for this type of ceiling? It's angled, so the roof is directly above the room (no attic). There's also a higher wall whose top portion is presumably adjacent to the attic. I've seen this in California homes, i

Interesting... it looks like this can be done with Firefox's Open With extension. Is there a Chrome option?

Nice, I need to come up with a solution for this on desktop. My dream is a Chrome extension which recognizes Youtube ads and auto-mutes while they are playing.

I have disabled, then enabled, then disabled this feature several times now. Sometimes, it is spot-on with recommendations that I enjoy reading. Other times, I get horrible clickbait. Because I searched for `nirvana discography` once, I get

I believe the bit about priming was refuted in some repro attempts. If you're short on time, watch Kahneman's talk at Google, which basically summarizes the first chapter or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjVQ

The article ranks cities by their percent share of "good jobs" rather than total count. If you calculate totals, the "superstar" cities do better, thanks to their larger overall populations. For example: The lowest scori

I've enjoyed that article since it was first posted. Its predictions have held up well. As you said, it's a very slow signal. The model predicts what will happen over 10 years. It doesn't say whether there will be steady X% Y

Any software / hardware recommendations for this? I introduced my 5.5 year old to Tux Typing with a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic keyboard 4000. The games were borderline too fast and frustrating.

My claim is that persons' own recollection of their childhood is inherently biased. As kids, they weren't privy to many of their parents' protective actions. Never mind nostalgia, selective memory, etc.

I'm tired of this claim that kids today are less free-roaming. Such articles never seem to provide empirical evidence to back it up. The term "helicopter parent" is thrown around as if it has some sort of scientific definitio
