Isn't my vanilla wordpress.com blog copyrighted by default? Will CC licensing protect it better in the eyes of the law?

Guattari was the psychiatrist-analyst type, Deleuze was uninvolved with that. Also: what drove him to suicide was lung problems, to the point he was (old and) locked home connected to a machine to breathe. Some say it was an accident -- tha

We need to form some sort of guild of engineers who think Deleuze, Latour, Lacan et caterva should be read within our disciplines.

I was looking into GPU nearest neighbors libraries today and turned Faiss down because it said "Facebook". Completely irrational, I know.

I feel a lot of the "Python perf" thing is an inferiority complex. cPython is getting faster all the time, and (obviously using libraries like numpy and others that hook into compiled code) I don't think I've ever seen i

Tauromachy isn't "bullfighting". It's circus and drama; it's adjacent to religious sacrifice (rather, than, as some seem to think, betting on dogfights). But it's not religion either. Animals have to die. The b

Unpopular opinion: some controversial cultural heritages need protection. I single out tauromachy, which is incomprehensible to most, moreso the younger generations. The world is a tangle of Chesterton fences, and our righteous moral clariy

Machines lie very effectively. Machines plainly have more resources, while people give all kinds of metadata that they're lying. It used to be that if someone had a lot of details ready at hand they were probably truth-tellers, since d

I don't understand what this has to do with "music theory", but the comment section seems to find it useful. Qapla'!

Welcome to "A thousand plateaus" by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. ATP is a political book, albeit not a book about politics. But in the process of building their radical political theory, they build a radical general systems

Underrated response. Can't you recommend someone stop drinking alcohol (for behavioral/psychological or physiological health issues) without giving him something that tastes like alcohol and inebriates you like alcohol?

Obsidian vaults are just folders of .md files and huggingface provides a great `sentence-transformers` package which allows you to easily to k-neighbors search on BERT embeddings of your query and vault. This is a weekend project really, an

Since by now we're arguing style, you would achieve your purposes (whatever they are) if you completed certain aggressive sentences, for example: > You come off as a crank. [... because of X, Y ,Z ] .. > Please be better. [in the

The spirit of "parse, don't validate" is -- do all those things (SSN checksums, whatever) at the point where data enters the system, not at the point where it's used.

I'm the opposite, in a group meeting I can see the camps forming and contribute a third view. In a 1-to-1 I don't know what your agenda is.

Such an inciting title. I "know" Jax; I also know Jack from Legal. I'd been using Jax and Numpyro like learning from tutorials pretending it's numpy and then they brought the pros from Dover who knew all kinds of insane

Dataclasses already exist and have throngs of users. It's for them. If you've never used dataclasses maybe it doesn't make sense to you. Then, I agree Python is way too big a language now, but I'd rather start removing t
