Just remember that the reason why Ted Kazinsky said he bombed the federal government was because he was subjected to MK Ultra experiments in college. I'd say you got a good deal getting two dollars instead of life long trauma.

Birth rates did not fall below replacement until 1972. Blaming the depression and word war is a bit of a stretch.

Let me tell you about fall out and how the majority of people who die in a nuclear attack will feel the meat peel off their bones over two weeks of unimaginable agony with nothing that can be done for them.

Worrying about nuclear war was probably worse for mental health since you'd die quite quickly (if you were lucky), rather than some nebulous future were something's going to happen.

The majority of people lived in villages until 1920 in the US. US birth rates started dropping off not a generation later.

Do they have a local model? I keep getting burned by APIs having stupid restrictions that makes use cases impossible that are trivial if you can run the thing locally.

The animation, not the movement decisions. This is as naive as calling an industrial robot 'just a calculator'.

Is there any models that can do diarization well yet? I need one for a product and the state of the art, e.g. pyannote, is so bad it's better to not use them.

The description of updates is painfully true. A long time ago I worked at a broker trader where all communications, including servers communications, had to go through zscaler as a man in the middle. What had been routine all of a sudden be

I'm reminded of Darpa's old plans for Ada. I expect we'll see the same issues come up as the last time they tried this.

Because it is half the range expressed in 1 bit of exponent, the same way that [1,3) is half the range expressed in 2 bits of exponent. I'd used [0,2) and [2,4) but that would confuse people used to thinking in base 10, which includes

Floating points numbers have a fix precision mantissa, and a fixed precision exponent. So you have xxxxx E xxx as an example of a 5 bit mantissa and 3 bit exponent. You have 2^5 floating point numbers for each possible exponent. So no, you&

This is a very misleading article. Floats are not distributed evenly across the number line. The number of floats between 0 and 1 is the same as the number of floats between 1 and 3, then between 3 and 7 and so on. Quantising well to intege

A bigger audience isn't a better audience. A violin solo in a football stadium with the usual football audience is not an improvement over one in a recital room with the usual audience.

Given what OS X has become it's un-obsoleted itself again. It's kind of ironic that you're using a post from 20 years ago to invalidate an essay from 25 years ago, about an OS that's been substantially dumbed down in the

You'd need to ban targeted marketing, not just advertising. If I were selling widgets I still greatly care about knowing who buys a billion widgets a year and will pay good money to find out.
