Sorry if you read my post as snarky - I don't think I missed that point, I meant the question at the end more as food for thought. The OP contrasts adding fluroide to water vs. not adding fluoride to water and brings up the freedom que

I lived in Germany for a while. There, the water that comes out of your tab doesn't get fluorized. Instead, they add fluoride to tooth paste. So, is Germany less free or more free?

This is a whole ̶l̶o̶n̶g̶ blog post about someone who was surprised that he could use a crate to parse SQL queries in Rust. A bit of an underwhelming read to me personally.

For almost every purchase I make, I have to pay a hefty tax to the state. I wonder how much taxes xAI is going to have to pay for this?

I'd be interested to know if anyone on HN has actually done that in the past, and what the experience was?

In all fairness, I don't think the goal is to hide that completely, just to mask the accent to some degree in order to improve intelligibility for speakers from different accent regions.

"could" being the point here - as Joe Bloke, you're not going to get yourself into a legal dispute with Google, but it's not very hard to return an electronic device as an ordinary end consumer when it's still under

Interesting use case, but I can hear lots of audio artifacts in the demo video. This doesn't seem consumer-ready just yet. Apart from that, it also raises some ethical question. Your voice, the tone and its expression, is probably one

Interesting, when I lived in Europe, I observed that it was the other way around there: if your house only has double-pane windows from the 80s, that will definitely reduce your sales price quite a bit.

Except that a cascade of windows is not what is typically referred to as triple-pane. If multiple windows were to count here, then "double-paned windows" have been around for centuries.

They're standard because energy is more expensive in Europe than in the US.

Nonsense, they're pretty much standard for new buildings, too.

There are a few really nice and freely available ML resources out there. But in order to truly get somewhere, I believe there's no way around accompanying theory with hands-on, practical exercises. Some textbooks actually do have exerc

The thing with not well-defined names is that they're open to interpretation. To me, the difference between UX and UI is on a completely different axis. When I was at university, I attended a UI class which - although in the CS departm

Ah, the internet! The place where people go to paraphrase what others have already posted, just with passive aggressive sarcasm. Thanks for that!

It's probably a mix. The computational power to run a dialog system is one thing but it's also just more convenient in terms of maintainance to have the system be completely server side. Of course, getting your sweet voice for fut

While this is def neat, it shows signs of a classical computer scientist fallacy: "There's a recurring problem I occasionally run into, and each time it takes me about 3 minutes to solve it. No more! Instead, I'm going to spe

Good memories! I used to use the Cassowary solver back in the day for planning multi-media presentations where you could specify constraints that were to hold between the different elements of the presentation. Think: "play this audio

I think the important part that's not clearly portrayed in the OP article is that the "one Excel file" is actually not a single file used across the whole organisation, but rather a sort of master overview file that "con

I can only encourage fellow Americans to consult with international media. It can be quite informative, I find, to get a foreign perspective on American affairs.
