I think it means "for any given point in the specified area, and for any given point in time, p(rain)=50% So it of course won't rain for exactly 50% of the time on a given day, but over the long run, it will.

I wonder: did they address common ML ethics questions? Specifically: Are the ML algorithms better/worse on male than on female speech? How about different languages or dialects? Are they specifically tuned for speech at all, or do they

It's still unfamiliar terrain, and a guide will help you find the start of the route, will help you get through a difficult spot and can perform first aid if needed. So if you're not an experienced hiker and climber, going with a

They are absolutely the right equipment for the job. If you take a bad fall on your shock link, you likely need medical attention anyways. You won't keep climbing far with it.

Good observation! I think we generally imagine China as an adversary too often. Instead, we should sometimes think of it as a neighbor country, where people that are similar to us are faced with an interesting system. But I think even then,

I think the plan is an opt-out solution. But they really don't want many people to actually opt out. And it's a legal challenge to make sure that everyone understands how and why they should opt out, even my grandma.

Amazing! It's great to see more charitable giving in this world! Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any writing on how Humble choose the recipients of their donations. Are there specific criteria? I think the general area is ofte

I want to live in a world where "Twitter" is a category name, and X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads etc. are simply examples of twitters. And you can tweet on all of them.

This is true. But I fear that this talking point will be used by lobbyists and pro-ICE fanatics to justify more climate damage than necessary.

You can have different sizes of parking spaces, for different prices maybe. And the change will probably not increase the amount of cars on the road, because at the same time, bikes and public transport are becoming more attractive in citie

As a cognitive scientist, I think there's nothing special about the ability to "understand", or about "intelligence". When I hear someone say "AI can't understand", I think they mean "AI does not

This is true, but cavemen also regularly murdered other humans, a practice that we rightfully abandoned. "Cavemen did that too" is not enough justification for some behavior. Cavemen also did not use computers. In fact, we evolved

Honestly you should probably just get a professional hearing aid, they do a hearing test and adjust its frequency response to your ears. The longer you wait with getting it, the harder it will be for your brain to adjust to processing the f

I'm pretty sure that's the tensor tympani. I also think your description sounds closer to what I do. For me it sounds like wind, but only lower frequencies.

I tend to agree. For-profit companies can only argue against consumerism as a marketing strategy. But Fairphone has been consistently putting this topic on the table and raising awareness anyways, and they have created more sustainable supp

I had a blind classmate back in high school (starting ~2008) who used a laptop and a single-line braille display, and wow I did not know her equipment was that expensive! It just seemed like a reasonably straight-forward piece of hardware t

Many blind people have enough residual vision to locate the label, but they can't read text for example. In Germany, the packaging for medicine features Braille that's hard to miss. Apart from that, I'm sure there are standar

In my view, the name "The Browser Company of New York" feels cheerful and evokes an old-timey, skilled craftsmen feel. They do care a lot about storytelling and their brand, and their relationship to their users.

I wonder how much the decision was influenced by the general lack of opportunity in the east, and the rising alt-right movement as a consequence. I really want eastern Germany to have a better economy.
