I agree. The whiteboard is still the most effective tool for communicating and playing with ideas. I've yet to encounter a software-based set of tools that rivals it in the context of sketching out and sharing ideas and concepts (espec

So right to Godwin's Law we go then - yeah. I get the feeling it's not me who is the radical here. There is a difference between wanting to remove content that a company don't want to associate itself with and genocide. For y

Oh come on. This kind of thing is done everywhere in media. You either deny that games are a medium or you're under the impression that whatever you read in news publications, books, see in films and TV is the result of the unfiltered

Nah, it's a "damned you do, damned if you don't"-situation. There's simply no winning this - if you don't apply preventive measures of any kind, your product will deteriorate into a homophobic, racist, sexist u

So PCA, k-means clustering and manual visual inspection counts as AI now? There's no ML involved in the approach, just plain old statistics and feature extraction. I fail to see how any of this relates to AI unless we broaden the defin

Now you shifted the problem to power transmission, because there's no way to generate an excess of power at all times in all locations using just wind and solar. So while in my region at the time of posting this, 100% of electricity is

Myanmar doesn't use imperial units or US customary units. They use traditional Burmese units. Non-metric doesn't equal imperial/US customary.

Hard to tell in detail, but not as much. The primary cost factors are instrument development, ground segments, staff (over years, e.g. 5-10 years development plus ~5 years primary mission plus extensions), testing, and building (no economy

And you don't see the contradiction there? On the one hand you say that the environment is protected more than the people yet here you argue that it's actually the people who benefit instead of nature. Which is it?

It's not about the viewing time, though, it's about the videos. The misconception is that it's the review process that's the problem - it isn't. That can be automated just fine. The problem arises as soon as there a

2500 videos per minute doesn't equal 500 hours of original content per minute, which is part of the problem. Just look at all the reaction channels and compilations that simply reuse the same content over and over again. You have one
