Maddening mess? Come on, this is silly nitpicking. Airport codes are as clean an logical as it gets with century-old international standards. In fact, most of "maddening mess" in the video can be essentially ignored, which author

This is quite boring generative art experiment that has nothing to do with AI (and by AI I mean ML, since calling ML "ML" is sooo 2021 and just lame nowadays). But the expectations I got from the title were more interesting to me

I got a bit triggered by that "sub-$1k keyboard" of yours. I mean, you are totally right, this is a typical product for that price, i.e. this is a "normal" market price for this kind of product… But, man, I just can&#x27

If you don't give a shit about some "standards" it doesn't really make sense that you "have these standards".

Weird, I didn't see that trash for so long I thought it was fixed at least in 7.0.

Searle is proposing what he supposes to be a proof of a computer being unable to have mind in the same sense humans have mind, and thus human intelligence being something more than a "mere computation". While in fact his argument

Not sure what you mean. I don't see a connection. Anyway, I didn't remember what that "Chinese room" business is, so I had to google it, and funnily, while I vaguely remember seeing it before and probably not having much

To be fair, browser should be inferior to native apps. Browser is a virtual machine running a clumsy and severely limited operating system, executing all software via interpreted programming language. Either there shouldn't be other OS

Well… Yeah, admittedly, “Spotify only” podcasts are fair and established business-practice, like "XBox only games", rock-bands signed up to a specific label, writers having a contract with a publisher and all. But let's remin

Why does it seem "the right thing"? I mean, it's pretty stupid to actually keep it open for everyone forever, but if I want that (and I don't know why it was even an option, but I assume somebody wants that) — that'

Actually, I know a lot of people who don't know stash/rebase, but they heard of git bisect. So not sure if "more common" is a fair assessment. I wonder if there are any known statistics on that.

Oh, it gets better. On Android (at least, LG-flavored one — never used any other android phone) I have an issue with inter-app "Share" button popup. It somehow manages to re-shuffle all the suggestions (apps/recipients) exac

"Power user" is relative and ill-defined, but I don't think I've ever met a git-user who at least haven't heard of git bisect.

Have jq always been a fully-capable turing-complete language? Or did it become this monstrosity step by step, somewhat naturally? I wasn't even aware until today that it's… uh… a programming language .

I wonder what makes it so much worse on those 2 specific tasks. Especially k-nukleotide one.

I didn't manage to transcribe anything (it just doesn't remember that I submitted anything), but whatever, I didn't need to anyway. I just wanted to ask: how good is Whisper with non-english? At least "major" ones,

I'm careful about formulating an opinion on the topic, because I still don't understand what "deboosted" will mean in practice, but I don't think your evaluation of the situation is fair. I'm pretty close to an

Was it that way before Musk bougth Twitter? Or you didn't check before? Also, I'm still confused by what "search for it directly" means. Like, you won't see it in author's feed at all unless you have an id of t

I'm not using twitter (and not going to), so please explain, what that means, exactly. So, let's say it is decided by Musk&co that X (written by xxx) is a hateful Tweet. - I am a follower of xxx. Will I see it? - I specificall

Thanks. I couldn't get what's the point, since I'm always on Theater mode anyway.

It rotates itself in 23 hours and 56 minutes relative to the fixed stars . It rotates itself in 24 hours relative to the Sun . It is Earth's rotation relative to the Sun what people care about in most situations, because day and nigh

Not really. I mean, it's true that we should distinguish between the 2 and everything that you said about the difference is also true. But unixtime doesn't really "exist" in a sense UTC and TAI do. It is rather an imperf

by krick 4y ago
Because a minute is a huge amount of time (and, by the way, don't forget, that minutes don't exist, I just understand that you mean 60 seconds) and there is no such thing as "leap milliseconds" because UTC is literally j

I'm not sure I support your "hot take" — it is hot and requires a lot of contemplation. But that's not the point, IMO. The point is, that there ALREADY EXIST both TAI and UTC. TAI is true monotonic (whatever it means in

Time is not off by about 3/4 of a day, calendar is. And hardly many people care about planet's position relative to the Sun (on the orbit) — I mean, they can, if it is important for they occult rituals or something, but probably t

I'm not saying that we can't, but saying that we can seems quite brave (and by "brave" I mean foolishly reckless) without actually trying it. I, for one, am not so sure. There is a lot of stupid stuff about calendars and

It is "a valid synecdoche" only as long as we accept that doublethink and newspeak are desirable. Sure, calling black — "white", dictatorship — "worldwide democracy" and so on… everyone will adjust. And by &quo

It is generally true with NNs that they often cannot admit they don't know something and will output some ridiculous prediction anyway, but I feel it is especially bad with language models, and ESPECIALLY bad with something like this &

Sounds like a description of a magical artifact from anime, but is substantially more poetic.
