Your post is on a new account and the style is indirect and presumptuous. It says little more than 'I think ML tools are great'; it just does it in a way designed to annoy people. That would be my guess as to why it was downvoted.

Similarly for us, siblings each required different treatment. Even when part of the same application. All born in the same UK hospital to the same parents and having the same home address. Fun. It was interesting to speculate what exactly t

Do you have any insight as to why, seemingly, there is no contractual obligation on contractors to make a working system. They seem to make something approximating a working system, vastly overcharge -- like x1000 -- for output that appears

I too have enjoyed a game of *Passport Application* by proxy. One of the interesting rules the OP doesn't appear to mention is the 'mutable history' rule. Herein, the facts contained in a single document can alter over even s

In addition to the sibling comments, this is a style of humourous writing. They're just saying that legislation is not straight forward to understand.

My point would be analogised to Italy thus: that despite it only having existed since 1946, suggesting that meant Italians have _no_ rights to occupation of that land is rather ludicrous. If it were a Roman Catholic claiming this that would

Revived Hebrew seems to be a child of Ancient Hebrew? Judaism seems to have a continuation? I can't say I know the genetic situation of a while country, but it seems unlikely. Maybe you've more to add, some sources to convince me?

Well that's not my position. Islam, ie the Koran, recognises the banu Israel (forgive my spelling/transliteration) from c.2500 years ago. Apparent muslims say "Israel has only existed for 50 years" (or words to that ef

Israel occupies lands belonging to the Biblical patriarch Jacob. That was something like 1800 BCE, two and a half millennia before Mohammed. Islam refers to Jacob, as does the Torah/Old Testament as "Israel". I find the repea

This ground was already covered for search engines. In USA law the answer is transformative Fair Use. We don't have transformative Fair Use, nor a Fair Dealing equivalent, in the UK - I don't see anything that allows this type of

A lottery you have to buy tickets for is unfair, it's not available to all [Texans] in the same way. Seems they just extended/exploited that inherent unfairness. Lotteries effectively exploit those with little hope and similarly r

In UK I'm now on FTTP but even on ADSL the house would have an IP address that normally stayed constant until a router reboot. This seems to be pretty common in the UK. Probably on cable internet (and on mobile ofc) you get NAT-ed but

Can JPEG do 3D somehow (I'm thinking VR/AR)? DVDs lasted well, until the medium itself moved to cheap NAND flash and then various SSD technologies. When/if simple screens get usurped then we'll likely move on from JPEG.
