"Offering managers didn’t have technical backgrounds and sometimes came up with ideas for new products that were simply impossible." Sounds like they drank their own kool-aid, e.g., "Products That Enhance and Amplify Human Ex

Adobe InDesign or Illustrator at the high end, Powerpoint, Pages, or Google Slides at the low end. I've found Illustrator the best compromise between power and simplicity (provided you have a license).

Isn't it? I was under the impression that this was the first step was simulators like CARLA ( http://carla.org/ ) before real-world testing.

which means it must be good, right? I feel like there are a few of these frequent flyers... is there anyway to figure out what they are?

Interesting to compare with ETOPS (good maps: gc.kls2.com) which governs how far away from acceptable alternate airports a commercial plane can be. It corresponds to safe flying time with a single functional engine. So a lot of the area in

I would like to see the comparison for the EU or Japan... I found this https://www.citylab.com/equity/2015/06/where-europeans-spend... , which suggests it is more reasonable, but doesn't reflect the minim

Second this. Pandas / Numpy / Numba until I hand off to ggplot, lmer, or whatever specialized R package.

Very silly; best not to alert the media or we'll soon see "AI can now generate memes" clickbait. I thought it was funny though that Richard Socher, one of the authors of GLoVe and NLP researcher is pictured in the generated m

I saw either this or needle ice while hiking in North Carolina in winter of 2016. I couldn't figure out what to Google at the time. It made an extremely satisfying sound to step on (there was tons of it so I didn't feel bad).

Academic lab in computational cognitive science / computational linguistics: we haven’t transitioned fully because of storage costs. ~$10 tb/month even for infrequent s3 storage is way too much when we have lots of 10+ tb datasets

It can also be used for cognitive science research, for example to collect reading times, reaction times, vocabulary learning trajectories, etc. Published work suggests that it is provides data of similar quality to in-lab studies, once you

To clarify: your argument is that by precedent with existing amendments, the US Constitution should be limited to interactions with the state?

Besides the obvious ethical problems, I don't why companies are worried about inducing stupid cognitive overhead with this. Employees will obviously change their behavior in response, and that will require nontrivial mental energy.

Not just theoretically, LA to London (LAX to Gatwick or Heathrow) is 10:15-10:30 — there are several flights per day. (interestingly it's 11:10-11:30 in the opposite direction because of the wind patterns).

Dan Klein shared in a graduate NLP class at Berkeley a few years back a AAAI article on Watson back in 2010 (when it actually was a distinct technology stack and not just marketing nonsense). At that time IBM was focused on question answeri

Desktop replacement laptops like that one are admittedly more mobile than real desktops, but the weight and thermals mean they can't be used the same way as a MacBook-sized machine: on a couch, on a plane, etc. They also can't las
