> That little text input takes what you give it, determines what the hell you're trying to figure out, and delivers results on a level that just vastly supersedes anything else. Do you mean, for everyday services, for general know

This is very, very neat and not requiring excessive setup, which would be needed with practically any kind of ML procedure (manual annotation - probably defeating the purpose, handling structure). Fitting around 1000 booleans is indeed not

>Specifically, "elected by the people" doesn't grant any immunity by and of itself; you would need a huge public protest or other such expression of public will. You may still be ignored by the media, which prevents you f

I think there exists now a very pervasive and worrying conflation of "public control" with "the government". If you oppose expanding the sphere under control of one, centralized power with no day-to-day responsibility be

I like the (English) syntax of the article. It seems to have the same concise feeling as the language itself. I like to think that's why pg chooses falsity over falsehood. It's a little strange to have (id 'a) return nil. Als

I think the details that you mention wouldn't be so important in the media narrative (although maybe they would in the gamers' perception). The ban alone probably speaks to the imagination the most. I am, for one, moderately optim

One thing that I like about DuckDuckGo is that you can browse results with arrow keys and enter. No simple way to load the next page, sadly. If you have it set as the search engine in Firefox, you can get mouseless search with ctrl+t and f6

I think that the "just nostalgia for your formative years" argument, being fundamentally ad hominem (doesn't mean it's not relevant though!) is a little flawed against actual criticism. I never really played MMOs apart f

It's worth noting that apparently (as I learned lately) RNNs are going slightly out of fashion because they are hard to parallelize and have trouble remembering important stuff at larger distances. Transformers are proposed as a possib

Contrary to a sibling, I think that Common Lisp very much needs style guides. Maybe not one, but some for various use cases. The standard library feels like a sprawling jungle and the Rambo-style idiosyncratic programming syndrome in the ec

I particularly love the suggestion to just document what you're doing as the first step to proper automation. It's not that much work or cognitive effort. Sometimes a decent description of your procedure is all you will need and i

I'd say the main reason for strict formatting is the organizational one: when you really need for the same file to be edited by many people and not turn into a mess. Otherwise, it may be convenience, as I don't have to maintain
