I'm curious about the middle-way chatbot you're building. Most chat systems are either "smart" scripts with intent recognition (RASA, Dialog Flow, etc) or anything-is-possible chaos (seq2seq, etc). Can you explain more a

The alternative isn't what you think it is. You might hope if web fonts were banished, designers would use system fonts. But there was a time before web fonts, what that's not what they did. They'd do their typesetting in ph

GitHub and Stackoverflow are interesting cases from a webfont perspective. They have the benefit that most of their users are repeat visitors that means they'll likely have the designers prefered fonts cached from a previous visit. The

It's that transgenic beta-amyloid mice are not humans with Alzheimer's. BUT! As another neuro PhD: this is still an important finding for our understanding of protein (dis)aggregation in the brain. The opposite finding was totally

It ends where we decide that it ends. There is no slippery slope here. The protections for political speech and the cultural values around speech are incredibly high friction surfaces! If anything the slope is towards free space and histori

For anyone interested in learning more about the need for this, I strongly recommend Moneyland. It really does a good job leaning in on tension between (1) privacy, (2) liberty, and (3) Rule-of-Law. All three of those are good things, but t

As others have pointed out: Parks already have patchwork fees, lotteries, and day-pass limits. This would just be a more holistic version of that patchwork. As far as "whenever I want it" public access, I think that most parks, an
