I dunno if the intent of this dataset is to produce bots that can make people laugh. I think (intentional) comedy is the ultimate Turing test. I say intentional because there are things like https://inspirobot.me/ which are

Seriously. Half the time, I feel like the command I'm giving is just being interpreted as "do the needful", and she just figures it out, based mostly on tone, context, and memory.

Yes, although I'm not sure if the hidden streams use bandwidth. Also, to the best of my knowledge, Teams handles individual streams usually, while meet usually muxes them to save bandwidth. Zoom is easily the most efficient of the big

Here I am clicking color after color like a dunce, wondering when I get to see the ranking. After 20-30 or so clicks I finally notice the ultra-tiny-low-contrast "Ranks" text. In my defense I'm outside with a ton of glare...

Thanks for standing up to that unpleasantness. I know you aren't really supposed to feed into that, but it's refreshing to see pushback.

I got one of those little spritzers, like for putting perfume or febreeze in, filled it with 3% h2o2, and spritz my electric brush every day after I rinse it, cause it was getting a little grody in the crevices. Works great, dirt cheap.

This is exactly what a lot of the current round of optimization work focuses on. Things like optimistic dispatch on hot loops that fall back to fully dynamic on a miss.

The year is 2199. The trolly residents have figured out how to tap the trolly's motion for near-limitless power. Despite its small size, the trolly has developed a stable population of 24 (give or take over the years) and has dubbed it

This is alarming yet accurate. One simply has to look at things like automobile recalls, the 737-max debacle, or the Camp fire, to see actual examples of the above heuristic in action.

I found myself following a heuristic that is basically Asimov's laws: - whenever possible, do no harm - do not let harm occur due to inaction - when given a choice, preserve the most amount of healthy lifespan in aggregate - higher lif

Hardly. There's 7 continents (~3 bits of entropy), but dozens/hundreds of camera models this technique (6-8 bits). And it's hardly the only media forensic technique out there. There's ways of extracting the time of day w

Nice work! Looks super interesting and rewarding to work on. Is the namesake "tao" meaning "the way"? Or perchance a nod to Terry Tao?

Question for the peanut gallery: Suppose I have a legacy ipv4 host which simply cannot do ipv6. Why couldn't I put some black box on my network connection in between my host and my uplink, which translates my host's IPv4 into a 4-

by kortex 4y ago
But why couldn't we just put a middlebox in front of the host which translates a 4-over-6 address to a plain ipv4? The host box still sees only v4 but v6-only devices can still connect to it. Like I could envision a simple router-like

What do you mean? You just add a custom handler. It's like a few lines to write a handler that does some action on specific levels.

You should try the loguru library. I was able to roll a rolling-upload-to-s3 adapter in under an hour. Switching to json logs is one bool flag away. Plus it's gorgeous https://github.com/Delgan/loguru Also iirc s3

FastAPI has a lot of straight-up low-effort, borderline spammy questions. I think it's a community /communication thing. Somehow flask keeps the riff-raff down, or at least in the discussion and out of issues. So however they do t

It's frustrating that innovators are constantly having to justify "why yet another". Folks should just be able to freely innovate without fear of getting spammed with xkcd#927. You wanna make yet another programming language,

I dunno. I've read a lot of GPT output. It lacks a certain consistency over medium scales. The big picture checks out, and the word-by-word grammar checks out, but the sentence-by-sentence information often isn't cohesive, or cert
