Can anyone point me to examples of this being used as a dependancy of other projects?

There's always range banning.

Is it low? That the issues of quality and rigor are being discussed is a good sign in my opinion. The expectation of continual progess at some constant, quantifiable rate is what has been most at fault with industrial science, but that expe

I think you may have misinterpreted him. We all tell stories. But ironically I can't stand him as an individual.

Quite. Provability can often come long after utility is established.

I think Ricky Gervais has a good point when he says if you were to get rid of scientific literature but keep the same process our scientific knowledge would all come back again. Being reflective of the nature of the existence just plain mak

I disagree. As the author says, the field is still quite young and they are 'flinging shit at the wall to see what sticks'. Good for them.

My angle is I think those following the field of Psychology are not being mindful enough of when Socrates said "All I know, is that I know practically nothing". At least the author acknowledges we are still in the dark ages in man

Very interesting thoughts you've got there. Nice

Totally unrelated is relative (ha ha). We are all the same species after all. Why wouldn't we respond similarly to similar inputs? Especally with something very different to our everyday experiences.

So the reason is regulatory inertia? That's a lame excuse for animal cruelty.

Them too. At least there are should be strong rules about the welfare of farm animals and minimising their suffering during slaughter. I hope for improvements in synthetic meat as well and think cell cultures could help with that. I can&#x

We used to get Insulin for diabetics from the pancreases of polar bears. A cruel practice that is no longer necessary with advances in bio technology. I believe we can learn to replicate the beneficial properties of Horseshoe crab blood art

That's not my interpretation. You seem to be claiming magic was only successful when it was underpinned by psychology, right? swayvil seems to think magic works because it is a form of technology. That's not to disparage psycholog

Antibiotics are compounds that if imbibed can cure the sick (under some circumstances). They would be considered magical in the middle ages when bacteria were not known of. Now we have better descriptions of nature. Paracetamol/Tylenol

Also I think the step you feel you are missing is the one where the combining of codepoints into ligatures and laying out of text on screen is done. Google Chrome uses a library called Pango to do this IIRC. Edit: maybe it's one called

I've said this before on HN, but neural networks are not a tabula rasa. Their structure is created by people. With better domain understanding we can make better structures for AI models. It's not an either-or situation.

Codepoints can only be 1 to 4 utf-8 bytes. Utf-8's bit pattern can extend up to 6 bytes, but there are only 1,114,111 valid unicode codepoints. and U+10FFFF takes 4 bytes to encode in utf-8 in a not overlong form. I guess you could enc

If someone says just hello in a chat window I don't respond and if it's someone not in my team and I can I might block them as well. They want something and want to expend the minimum resources on pleasantries to get it. That mean

Tools exist that can reassemble 8080 assembly language code to run on the 8086 or later x86 CPUs. The opcodes aren't quite the same, but they're close enough feature wise. Indeed it was one of the original design criteria for the

The picture at the start of the article looks like Lissajous patterns. And sure enough Lissajous orbits around lagrange points are a thing according to wikipedia.

Yes I know that. That only makes it worse.

I've always thought of the "Effective Altruism" movement as a product of big egos. The ones following it think they know better than the ones they're 'saving'. But perhaps the EA adherents are seeking salvation

Yes, I totally agree with you there.

The software development community as a whole should look at that permissions inflation trend more closely also. We've all heard stories of android torch applications that require filesystem access for murky reasons. Or websites with c
