There's no reason a bug fix for a free software needs to be non-free.

My wife certainly notices the age of some of her belongings, most notably that of her husband.

And in all honesty, I think that's fair enough. I actually prefer working from home, but if Amazon thinks they've got reason to believe it's better for the company if everyone works on site, then it's their choice. I hav

The question remains whether this price drop - if it actually is going to occur at all - will be forwarded to the end-customer. Right now, the high prices of EV compared to ICE is one of the main roadblocks for broader adoption of electric

This is not a rant, but a well laid-out description of something a widely used software ran into as a result of a change in the compiler they use. The #ifdef they had in place was a bit hackish, but I wouldn't call it abuse. It is a ty

It would be great to have a feature where my closed eyes are replaced with open eyes looking at the camera - then I could sleep through boring meetings.

Yes, I found your sibling comment very interesting. Btw, I didn't want to imply anything with my comment above, just put the price into perspective.

Caveat: this is not about neural network architectures.

All NNs work on latent representations.

You're talking development, but I'm thinking purely from an end-user perspective.

GNOME was never too popular among "true hackers" because compared to KDE, it is seen as less flexible, less configurable and hence more "nannying". But to me, I always found KDE too cluttered and all over the place. Now,

Neural LMs used to be based on recurrent architectures until the Transformer came along. That architecture is not recursive. I am not sure that a diffusion approach is all that suitable for generating language. Word are much more discrete t

My father-in-law is in his 70s. He built a new house in 2016. He's a builder so he could do almost all of the work himself (apart from electrical and heating) with two hired helpers. The concrete was poured by a company. The roof truss

The first house listed gives a price range from $1,553 to $3,242. Taking the higher end, $3,242 in 1920 is worth $51,110.29 today [1]. [1] https://www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation/1920?amount=3242

Why?

I've never claimed that this shift is being made (only) to accommodate shopping. But it's a fact that inner city shopping is in crisis and it is in the interest of city administrations to take counter-measures. However, the strate

Why do updates necessarily require reboots though?

Wouldn't they have known the dimensions of the Teslas before they considered using them? I mean, it's not like they have had zero prior experience on what makes good police cars?!

Owning a car and ride sharing are not even in the same category, unless you're of the opinion that the only purpose of a car is to get someone from A to B.

I don't buy the claim that the only solution is to push cars completely out of the cities. That's not going to work, I'm sure, without offering an equally good alternative to the comfort that your own car gives you. Especiall

No source as in peer reviewed study, no, only anecdotal evidence (personal experience). To me, if you want less cars driving around, it would make sense to build the infrastructure in a way that they can get to their destination as quickly

The closest city from where I currently live has been trying really hard to push for alternative means of transportation. They envision more bycicles and public transport, and in order to get there, they've been systematically making i

I don't understand this "car parks will no longer be needed" vision. Is the idea that everyone will use ride sharing to go everywhere? Because that's not going to happen.

Isn't that discussed in the article?

That depends on how exactly a right to repair law is going to regulate things. Will a company have to provide parts for older models forever? Because in the article it says that he was going to fix it himself but couldn't find the part

That's exactly it, at least that's I think what most of the public raising of eyebrows has been about. But in the beginning of the article, the author links to Schmidhuber, and his criticism is an orthogonal one. Namely that Hop
