What’s the probability that today’s scientists look as ridiculous in a few decades as the ones from a few decades ago look like today? Asbestos was considered a great building material. While science had improved in absolute terms, there is

Decoupling the images. To make it more realistic, let’s assume that you use an exotic pg extension. Some morning you read about a huge security issue in django. You see the patch comes with library upgrades that are incompatible with your e

So if you were to write an OCR software today, you would just feed a neural network with a whole raw phone image shot of a floppy paper? Or would you try to flatten the image first, then extract words and letters and then synthesize that ba
