A second hand account from a VentureBeat journalist is the best I could find [1]. As a researcher with more than a decade of experience in Natural Language Processing, what is described by the journalist in regards to the paper content seem

I mailed them back in March about SSH access when they announced the 2.0 and this is what they responded: “Appreciate the kind words and support. We are working to improve our products based on the feedback from our customers. If you are st

Second author here with a link to the arXiv paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02637 Although I have to say, VentureBeat did much better than most media outlets I have seen writing about current research and what they w

The analogy is very apt, from “Two Suns in the Sunset” [1] with Pink Floyd: “The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in Gives way and suddenly it’s day again The sun is in the east Even though the day is done Two suns in the

Glad I am not the only camera nut out there, my personal speciality is the pre-SLR era that I know far too much about to be healthy. The use of high-end, off-the-shelf cameras for military and scientific purposes does not surprise me that m

In my experience, I am an academic and supervise numerous PhD/MSc students and interact with many different projects. With paper notes I always found it challenging to maintain a single line of notes for a specific topic (multiple note

Mutt does not support virtual folders, so there is nothing fancy really about how I use Notmuch as I only use it for search (not tagging). I have a macro to call `mutt-notmuch.py` (there is a Perl version as well) to: search, create a tempo

That video is nothing short of amazing. Ilford HP5+ [1] has been my go-to film (I only shoot black and white) since Fujifilm dropped Neopan 400 [2] back in 2013 and my supplies ran out two years later. I have heard that Oriental SEAGULL 400

It does get more intuitive over time once you grasp some of the fundamentals of interactions with external programmes and how the query language and hooks are what you should first reach for. This I suppose is the “arcane” part, it can be d

Thank you Mutt (and also NeoMutt for pushing the envelope), you have been my e-mail client now for the last four years and as an academic that spends a significant amount of time reading and responding to e-mail it is (somehow?) the best op

I migrated from urxvt to Alacritty a little less than six months ago, here are some reflections. Despite all the talk about performance, I find urxvt to be more responsive. However, it is really not something that bothers me during day-to-d

Thank you, that was a mistake on my part, it was just the RAM then. The mistake is particularly embarrassing as I am very well aware on the M.2 expansion board for the PineTab, so I really should have remembered. Now if only that expansion

I really appreciate write ups like this. While I had considered taking the Pinebook Pro for a spin, the storage and limited RAM situation is ultimately what broke the deal for me as I could not think of a use-case for me as it would fall sh

Wow… Just wow… The Internet these days is just a cesspool at times due to this kind of behavior and I wish I could downvote this into oblivion. Your attempt at marketing disgusts me and know that I now have an awful impression of Kili as a

Thank you, that could be it. Then again, there would at least have to be a separate log somewhere on the same box with IPs to counter abuse. I think creating and using a UUID without explicit opt-in is still a red line for me, but I do conc

Yes, as an academic and a co-creator of the de-facto annotation tool in my field [1] I certainly have (although having Google Analytics for the website is something I regret…). Now, we have the “luxury” of citation counts as a proxy for aca

As someone that was active in the previous HN thread [1], this one, and in the Discourse one this position has popped up several times and it perplexes me. Attaching a persistent UUID on top of a protocol that carries your IP can not be mo

Oh yes, MBR is “raw” but oh so very good. It is difficult to describe, Bach meets Chiptunes meets Metal? “CONFIG.SYS” [1] from “ C : \ >CHKDSK /F” is probably my favourite from his early work. [1]: https://masterbootrecor

You are welcome and thank you for raising this to my attention as I sadly do not have the time to be as involved as I once was. Since we are currently Julians is a wider forum I would also like to advise non-Julians and Julians alike agains

Here is my attempt [1]. I find it incredibly difficult to motivate rationally and constructively the way I feel though. At times wondering if I am best ignored for the good of the community overall. What you are reading is my third attempt

Yes, absolutely. Although to be fair, CUDA is a royal pain (although way easier) even on more standard distributions (supporting multiple versions seamlessly is hours and hours of fun and breaks all too easily) and is behind the great major

I have simply given up after a lot of abuse by Heathrow and Stansted “security”. Just try reasoning with them about “pushing” film above ISO 400, guidelines by film developers, etc. They do not care and at best refer to some “testing” of th

Indeed, it is also perfectly possible for the Japanese legal system to have serious issues [1] and Ghosn to have far from clean hands. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Japan#Judicial...
