   Man, I'd love to play around with an emulator for that.

   Any alternate source of fuel in a petrol crisis, really. If someone figures out how to run car on Kit Kats I’m sure there’ll be a market.

   Disclaimer – I am not a compilers person: Could some from of static analysis determine whether the time between two wait-until-quantum calls exceeds a clock cycle (given assumptions)?

   This is a fun bureaucratic aside, but in Oregon the governor _is_ the statutory superintendent, rather than an elected official. (There are other oddities in Oregon: policy is otherwise extremely devolved, _and_ because property taxes are c

    I peeked at the front covers from the archives - 2007 has everything from global warming to the French riots, for example, although there's certainly more current affairs content. I'm not sure what you mean by the other decline in

    I can only imagine what it must've been like throughout the 90s and teens seeing people whack their heads against concurrency.

    Parent already knows this, but for completeness to the grandparent, the LRB is part of a small genre of literary journal that does this with "reviews of books". The New York Review of Books (which begat the LRB), and the Times Lit

    Thank you for this! I help teach a "CS enrichment course", and I'm having students play with Keras (with my own written scaffolding of course.) I'm struggling to find a resource to help me plan beyond "this is a per

    Everyone wants the datacenter somewhere in their country for sovereignty... just not next to them. Quelle surprise. At this point you may as well build supermarkets on top of them just to sell 'em to people.

    Thank you so much! As a (bio)statistician, I've always wanted a "modular" way to go from "neural networks approximate functions" to a high-level understanding about how machine learning practitioners have engineered

    I'm glad Apple's caring about the education market again – people forget how it (and DTP) sustained Apple through the lean years of the 90s, until they came out with iMac and iBook.

    Thank you so much for doing what Apple's neglected to do for many years! The way they let AppleScript/JXA rot was criminal.

    This is wonderful! I've always wanted to do something similar, but with NNs, just as a way to get familiar with them.

    That would be an admission of culpability, sadly.

    There’s a lot of bold claims here that are wildly unfamiliar with me: - What status do you think people with PhDs or who teach and do research have? (And do you think that having those beliefs is necessary to remain in academia?) - Who are

    For non-CS people – if you're a little confused by "conference paper", CS is a little idiosyncratic in that papers are often primarily disseminated through conferences, rather than independent journals. The advice is good in

    IIRC, I think the core of Grammarly is a CL-based pattern-matching system, so it may be even simpler than that.

    Similarly, Agda has a well-typed mixfix operator syntax – you define a function like (_foo_bar_baz) and can automatically write "X foo Y bar Z baz". It does mean that the operator parser has to be extensible at runtime, but it&#x2

    Depressingly enough, if Grammarly does throw in the hat, we'll lose an application of clear utility that could be run entirely locally.
