Oh of course, Auralnauts replace so many of Williams' works with Holst in their various videos that you hardly even know it. Similarly look at the opening of the 4th movement of Dvorak's 9th ( https://www.youtube.com&#x2

This video of the ending of Star Wars without John Williams' music got a copyright claim from the rightsholder to Williams' score [edited from original post, not actually claimed by Williams himself]. The little bit of music at th

There were multiple contacts and the F-18s had telemetry on the objects, it wasn't just an optical trick. Also how do two different jets see the same insect stuck on a lens?

I remember the problem they had a few years ago using MongoDB to do their financial transactions, people reported lots of double and triple withdrawals.

I don't believe it was falsified but it was missing a lot of things that an actual audit would include. Not just verifying that money was in accounts but verifying what purpose that money was for and what the banking relationship &#x

If you look at Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum, all three kicked off their current bull market in April after Tether lost their banking relationships and stopped even trying to show that they had funds in reserve. I absolutely think that th

This is fascinating because I've been running into something similar with sequence to sequence models translating natural language into Python code. I got better results stopping "early" when the perplexity was still quite hi

They certainly didn't when I was accepted in the fall of 1999. I had enough money in my college fund to pay for 1.5 years of tuition, room, and board at Princeton so getting paid to go to a good state school seemed like a no-brainer. I

It's difficult to get something started on the side when you work for Google for that reason.

I'm currently building an ML-powered debugging tool for automatically correcting code based on error messages. It's actually fairly difficult but doable, and we are working towards getting our first product out in the next few mon

I wish I could do something like that but my friends and family are not accredited investors, even if they have $10k to give. From my understanding of securities law and compliance it really isn't possible.

Yes, my first thought was that Kickstarter needed to get to the doctor and make some awkward phone calls. Really, really unfortunate logo and name combination.

How about replacing it with nothing?

I would say that the current bull run in Bitcoin is mainly due to folks with early stakes in ICOs taking their money and running from Ethereum.

Absolutely a great way to do it. I got paid to attend a great state school (above and beyond room and board), had several travel grants, and was sent to 20 countries and Antarctica! I've never had any student loans and it really helped

That's what all the college grads I knew at Google 2016-2017 were making, probably closer to $200k unless they started trimming the RSU grants because of $GOOG appreciation.

"We’re in an age where we’re being told AI is about to start writing its own software." The most pregnant sentence in the entire piece.

This man's life is definitely worth studying. Before it closed the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in Macon, GA had a wonderful exhibit on Redding's life, including much of his correspondence and newspaper interviews. He was incredibly

I see parallels to the 1810s in America where an explosion of banks needed virtually nothing to get chartered and issue unlimited amounts of their own currency. That went great, until it didn't. https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

It's not a better alternative to fiat, and here's my best anecdote why: A few years ago I was in SV trying to network and raise money for the crypto options and futures exchange I had just built. I ended up being invited to a &quo

Not if you want to ever set foot in the US again. If the SEC/CFTC really wants to nab you, they will. There's almost no way to prevent Americans from using your service and once they do you are wide open to any prosecutor worth th

Intelligence is an emergent property of self-replicating systems. I would file that under "something else" since that seems so different from all the approaches listed here.

Thank you sir, that response made my day. For context, drownproofing was a course once upon a time at Georgia Tech which is now more famously taught in the Navy SEALS. It teaches you not so much how to swim but how to bob just below the sur
