Even a large difference in CTR wouldn't necessarily say anything about being "more tech savvy". A sub 0.2% difference between Firefox and Chrome is therefore meaningless in this context. That's making the heroic assumpti

I logged in just to downvote you as, extremely unfortunately, you are the top comment on this thread at the present moment. I don't think, for most cases in which it is not terminal, that you can say it's a case of physical suffer

The article definitely adds a narrative which isn't there in a forum discussion. I also don't think the Quora link should replace the current one given Quora's practices in the past.

I haven't used it but I have found most of these demos to look very staged and there is too much magic going on. Isn't the whole point of this to blur the lines between language and cloud so you are eternally dependent on their sy

I've been playing around with ConceptNet for a year now, it's extremely impressive but I haven't quite applied it to a domain yet. I often wonder about the cultural aspect you mention as I worked with a group that was attempt

The article highlights repeatedly that it's a demonstration project and only a few of these were built so raw CPU performance was likely traded off for things like size, power consumption or branding. On the non-technical level of bran

It seems remiss of the article to not mention the word 'manna' meaning a mystical food or a spiritual nourishment. The OED has it as a Hebrew word, possibly coming from Aramaic word. Most often rendered in English with two N'

The USA has 319 million people, that means every federal agency is going to have to deal with hundreds of "one in a million" cases, so handling something "rare" badly is still worthy of criticism. Chimerism in humans was

There's an interview with George Bell on TV that's just fascinating from a historical perspective.[1] It's pretty amazing that the show host had installed an ad blocker plugin for his browser and was asking about the potentia

Excellent work, I've always wanted to see a real world use of pocketsphinx with python. When I looked a year ago the documentation was lacking. The module system looks nicely extensible as well.

The effect of the EU being on a federal trajectory, albeit increasingly contested, is interesting here. The independence movement in Scotland, and I expect this applies to Catalonia and Venice, paints a picture of independence within the EU

What I'd really like to see happen is for one of these very cheap tablets to be given a set of ports for interfacing with motors and instruments. It could become a sort of Raspberry Pi that's already in a case with a screen and ba
