There are a bunch of YouTubers making Desmos animations. I haven’t played with it myself, but always find it fascinating with what people come up with. https://youtu.be/4_8eY_Ij-5k

Alternative explanation - maybe the training data is full of internet discussions, and it's just that we we really bad at self correction online.

If this means we can download and print (injectable) drugs in the future, does this mean we can literally get a virus from dodgy sites?

The actual implementation of the retention analysis is not too hard. If you can compute unique customer id, then yes. But how do you get unique id, if say user is not logged in? What if user uses multiple devices? What if user creates new a

I worked as a data scientist for a few big internet companies, and have done a lot of retention analysis (from the ground up). I'd say, it's a hassle for a reason: accuracy. Third party tools seems to give little validation of cor

If the language has low cost to repeat words then I think the value of gender or tenses is going to be low. Thai, for example, has tones so our words tend to be shorter (more information can be packed per syllable). Languages are solving co

Working with the Thai government can be a bit of a pain - forms must be filled in Thai only. Agree with the characters. Although it’s not super hard to learn (my non-Thai wife learnt the characters pretty quickly), I wish we officially have

Also agree on the use of language extends beyond transmission of thought - the art comes into using language as a tool. I bet all languages has these hidden corners of complexity for it to be expressive enough to be wielded, just under appr

Hmm I think translating that faithfully will need a bit more context. But usually you can just say ตอนที่อยู่ในเมืองจะไปตัดผมด้วย translating to ‘whilst in town (will) go cut hair also’. The ‘จะ / will’ is a universal word that can be

In my thinking, tenses is a bit like compression where you can condense temporal relationships into a single word. In Thai, we are more explicit and add more words. Though Thai words tends to be shorter (since we have tones to disambiguate

As a Thai, I’m somewhat proud to see that our gramma is quite simple, i.e. no tenses and genders, etc. These extra structures are superfluous if you think about it. This makes it easy for beginners to start forming simple sentences. However

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading the paper and gained some insights. To me, bivector makes rotation vastly more intuitive (the gyroscope precession example is case in point).

First, like some commenters, I believe you may be depressed. If you have resources to help you, please seek it out to verify. The more personalized (counseling) the better. Second, any chance you are passing time by watching tv and surfing

My response to this is that not everyone thinks like you. Art is inherently subjective.

Nice UI, and the approach works quite well (occasional wrong choice of palette compared to ground truth). It’s kind of fun to turn my photos into B/W and run through the model to try and guess the output. Do you have a privacy policy f

I’ll probably be buried in all these comments, but my position is that data is only as good as how it is collected. Sloppy data collection gives rise to sloppy conclusion through unknown biases. The key is to understand the ‘data generation

I actually like Apple Pay for the extra security it provides. At least in the US, there’s non-negligible chance that your card can be skimmed (happened to me before). Using Apple Pay feels much more secure, though come to think of it, I don

Honestly I like the energy here. Just have to distance myself from a bit from people on sociopathic spectrum. I did 'lucked out' and joined a company that IPO'd, but honestly probably didn't make it much more than other

Fear of failure. I tend to find comfort in things I know well. Starting a company has many moving parts, it’s daunting. Lack of meaning. I haven’t found meaning in the ‘business world’. Much of my time is spent doing hobbies I find meaningf

I created and opened up the design of a standalone DSP [1] that leverages AutoEQ. The DSP is optimized for our home brewed headphones for VR, but I’ve been using it for my desktop headphones too. AutoEQ is not a perfect tool, but an amazing

I’m assuming they needed to have very accurate orbit information for each satellite. Was this provided to them by SpaceX, or was it derived from the signal?

A warning: my father read about DIY air filter just like this one, and made a couple of them at home. The fans are not designed to run continuously, and one failed and caught on fire. The living room burnt down but luckily the fire was put
