Not more than the plastic waste the bricks are made out of. In fact, this should reduce the problem since in brick form, less of the plastic is exposed to the elements as opposed to the plastic waste it's made out of.

Nothing BS about it. In ML, end-to-end means feeding raw data (e.g. text) to the model and getting raw data (e.g. waveform audio) out. This is on contrast to approaches that involve pre- and postprocessing (e.g. sending pronunciation tokens

During the Finnish Civil war, which ultimately ended in Finish independence, the White Finnish forces ended the Russian presence in Finland and Soviet (yes, Soviet) soldiers who fought on the side of the Finnish Red Guard left the country.

Nah, EA isn't even close to the level moral bankruptcy and corruption that FIFA represents. IMO the entire leadership of FIFA belongs behind bars.

The FC stands for Football Club. The move is actually an excellent one, because FIFA is a corrupt organisation whose main purpose is to syphon funds out of clubs, fans, and countries into the pockets of their morally bankrupt leadership. EA

Simple solution: threaten to sue. SEPA transactions have to be done within a banking working day by law. Now if you transfer on a Tuesday and the bank is closed on Wednesdays - tough luck, they're allowed to take till Thursday. But the

I'd go even further and say you can't debug a program that's running somewhere else, but you can read it's logs (in pretty much real-time if need be).

Depends entirely on context. I did consulting in wholesale and supplier data very often contained pipes as content separators (e.g. for product categories, sizes, etc.).

The point is that 7W/hour is nonsensical. It's a non-unit and physically doesn't make sense in any context. The power is independent from the volume. Total energy use is volume dependent. 20 Watts per litre is mix of units th

Uses less power and is portable? That's pretty much all I could gather from the article.

Nah, still doesn't make any sense either way. Watts is a measure of power, not energy. The amount of power (given they use a pump and electrodialysis) shouldn't depend on the volume. Energy OTOH does. So either their device requir
