   That reminds me I read somewhere that ovens in residential kitchens are within 20 degrees F of the stated temperature, either because of the position in the duty cycle for the heating element or noise or bias in the temperature measurement.

   Which seems pretty reasonable for a direct-to-consumer, cheap test, right? Noisy sensors = variability in reports.

   My parents had a Sony Mavica FD-91 for a conservation project in Panama in 1999 or 2000... the great joke was that there was an image quality setting where a single picture took more space than was currently available on the storage mediu

   Same thought here. An Mi-26 can easily do 50% more [1]. I thought the whole point of renewed interest in airships was their cargo carrying capacity. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-26

   What do you expect from a bunch of "freedom fighters" trying to restore power to the old corrupt regime?

   I replaced an unknown number of physical notebooks with a iPad + an Apple Pencil + Apple Notes app. It's definitely not quite pen and paper, but I can refer to 1000's of pages in an object the size of moleskin-like journal. I don&

   Is this because of export controls on encryption? Or something else?

   While I understand the perceived geopolitical need for energy independence, I sure hope we don't develop this. With recent reports like the NCA4 (nca2018.globalchange.gov), it's pretty clear things are going to get a whole lot wor

   I've happened on a similar solution after years of testing --- pfSense in a VM (with a dedicated NIC) on my NAS + backup box, and two Ubiquiti AC Pros. By far the fastest, most robust, and easy to configure system, plus nice benefits l

    Kant started publishing on philosophy at the age of 38. I suspect this is older than 40 terms of 18th century life expectancy.

    I was extremely fond of Wave when it came out, but remember few people I knew shared that view. Now I am trying to think back to Wave and how it differed from Slack... wasn’t it pretty similar?

    Maybe it's just me, but I get the implicature that they tested consensual and non-consensual hugs in their effects on stress, the latter of which seems like it would be hard to get past an institutional review board.

    Yep. In CA this means they make sure you aren't going to do something with fire and are prepared for bears. Many places don't charge for the permit — they just fine you a handsome sum if you don't have one.

    Second the Emigrant Wilderness — you can basically always get a permit when Yosemite is full and it has many of the same ecosystems. And fewer, nicer bears.

    But NNs for language processing have been around much longer than that, e.g., Elman, 1990: https://crl.ucsd.edu/~elman/Papers/fsit.pdf .

    My point is that while the DL + large corpus approach is the best available, it's still way, way lower than human performance (Tables 4 and 5).

    I agree with the general skepticism regarding AGI, but I think it's worth pointing out that there is some progress towards robust representations of abstract conceptual knowledge ( http://science.sciencemag.org/content&#

    I've switched largely to Jupyter / Python for computational linguistics / psycholinguistics because of the pandas / numpy /numba stack, decent off-the-shelf NLP (spacy and gensim), and the ease of moving data into a

    I’m so glad someone is bringing attention to this. I recall last year when it was announced that Numpy was receiving its first grant (for a mere 650k), and most HN comments were like “wow, I never really thought about how they were funded!”

    I think I would pay $100 for a toaster oven with a decent PID controller, controls that made sense (what does "200F" on dial 1 and "Toast" on dial 2 even mean?), and had a decent chance of working in 20 years. I've
