My understanding is that the original use of AI was to describe algorithms that solved complicated problems, but only sometimes, and usually through heuristics. As opposed to provably correct algorithms like Dijkstra's. I think that&#x

For all we talk about "learning" being the purpose of a college education, the true purpose for students is accreditation: to get a degree to get a job. Take away the degree and very few people will attend college. This article (a

That's an AI produced accessibility description so I thought it seemed wrong. But more directly from the article text: This is a new artist’s impression of our galaxy, the Milky Way, based on data from ESA’s Gaia space telescope.

In order to access the internet you are required to enter into a contract with a corporate entity. That's not because the internet is "theirs" (like Facebook's servers and systems are Meta's), but because the networ

Ok, so as I understand it, yggdrasil and cjdns are virtual P2P networks that offer the normal layer 3 routing services, but built on top of the existing internet. So they still require ISPs and internet backbones, etc. Are there any project

Ha, I'm the opposite. Every time I'm writing python I have to stop and think "is it response.json or response.json()?" And then I think about how Ruby (I think nicely) solved the attribute/method decision problem.

I was going to argue that you don't need to be an ornithologist to know a robin, at least in the US where they seem to be 1 out if every 3 birds you see here. But I just asked 3 people around me what a robin looks like and no one knew.

Baking bread is more correct, but in my experience "to cook" is generic enough to include baking. If someone has something in the oven and I ask "what are you cooking?", it's not weird. On the other hand, "cook

The September issue aside, 20€/mo seems pretty reasonable depending on how often you can go. Especially if there is a coach involved. Typical gyms in my area are about $20/mo just to access the machines and weights. Specialized gy

Cities also like them (alot) since they assume costs that cities usually pay for. Neighborhood parks are usually maintained by the HOAs. Less commonly sidewalks, roads, and water lines are maintained by the HOA.

I didn't see the parent say there was no precedent. But anyways, I like to hope that the US is better than China. If US citizens are abused while in China, I would be appalled to see Chinese citizens abused in the US as retribution.
