Yes, I think a lot of people here didn't read beyond the first third of the article, which is understandable because it tries to be very poetic and sci-fi and fails to actually make clear what it's talking about until more than ha

Here's the bit that confuses me. I have "youtube premium". I go there, and there's no link to youtube music. So I google "youtube music", and it says: "Get Music Premium to listen ad-free, offline & wi

Good points, but I feel like the real test would be if this was an unverified anti-Trump story. Did twitter or facebook put the brakes on any of the Steele dossier stuff? The principle of putting the brakes on unverified stuff is good, but,

I love Spacy, but I was recently trying to embed documents with it and it seems that it uses word-vector averaging for that. Is it possible to do sentence or paragraph embedding like sentenceBert?

The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm th

Possibly a dumb question but why has RAM plateaued in high-end laptops? Very expensive laptops these days seem to have either 8 or 16GB of memory, and it seems to me as though this has been the case for about 8 years. Is there some reason t

Also there is an underlying class thing going on with "you are the product". Choosing to pay for a service is not just an equal alternative to a free service for most people. Most people have to work hard to afford paid services,

I'm not sure that those links completely show that you're wrong. The example you're replying to appears deeper than it is because each nested element is quite broad, so the absolute depth is not as much as it might seem (I th

Interesting choice on one of those charts to truncate the "post-crash Bitcoin" price at end 2018. The price recovered to $10k by mid-2019 and has been relatively stable there since.

Overall maybe, but I'd say the jury's out on the flight model vs X-Plane, and it (currently) doesn't model airliner systems quite to the level of the payware X-plane airbuses or the Zibo boeing. It really crushes X-Plane on w

This article makes a really good case overall, but it must be deliberate that it chooses not to mention the stabiliser trim cut-out switch. In the part about the Cessna he says: >There are instructions on how to detect when the system ma

I have no problem with the idea of down-weighting the entire national cohort to correct for this. The problem is that they actually weighted the results on a per-school basis.
