This is probably a simple find-and-replace task, so I wouldn't bother with proper PDF parsing or libraries. I would: 1. Use pdftk to uncompress it: pdftk input.pdf output uncompressed.pdf uncompress 2. Look at the PDF code (it's

Due to the booster's failure to relight for landing. Humans wouldn't be anywhere near it at that point, so it doesn't have much to do with Polaris Dawn directly.

You seem to be calling complex numbers imaginary numbers, but they're not the same thing. Imaginary numbers are a subset of the complex numbers consisting of the imaginary axis without 0, e.g. i, 2i, -3.1i. Complex numbers also inclu

Neat form factor, but no stylus support when you fold it down with a screen out? Students would love that. I'm pretty dubious of the longevity of such a complex looking mechanical hinge though. Here's the official page: https:&

It's patent licenses that prevent more x86-64 compatible CPUs appearing. All the best recent stuff is controlled by Intel and AMD, who have cross-licensing agreements with each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

Windows 98 was quite a step up in polish and performance from Windows 95, even on the same hardware. Windows 2000 was an even bigger step up in polish, but more resource hungry.

I remember it very differently. You could often watch interfaces be drawn line-by-line and box-by-box, with many pixels getting redrawn multiple times before it was finished. Buttons responded to clicks, as long as you waited. The inform

Embeddings have structure, or they wouldn't be very useful. E.g. cosine similarity works because (many) embeddings are designed to support it.

You can apply statistical techniques to anything you want. Embeddings are just vectors of numbers which capture some meaning, so statistical analysis of them will work fine.

How about removing the incentive? Take down every package with tea.yaml in it, after say 1 month's warning, so legitimate packages trying to use it don't leave their users in the lurch. The tea protocol is clearly not going to a

As well as neat environmental effects like that, if you use multiple cycles you can do more involved animations. In 1995, working with graph paper, screenshots, and patience, I made exact replicas of various Lemmings graphics and animation
