What is the use of a Github app on iPhone or iPad? I guess I could see it useful for reviewing pull requests and making comments if it's urgent (it's not) or your main dev device is out of reach (it can wait)...

I appreciate the sentiment but "overlay the images by crossing your eyes" receiving that kind of incredulous reaction is really funny and kind of sad for me. I hope it's just amateur editorializing.

In the context of GR, at cosmological scales, every frame is an inertial frame. That means fictitious forces will arise if you're not careful to account for that.

This paper is distinct in that it's cogent about the underlying cosmological principles. "Shut up and calculate" poisoned academic physics by eliding the necessity of thinking of systems as systems, and not merely as sets of

Information density is certainly on the right track, I'd put it as causality combined with a locality constraint.

The "shut up and calculate" attitude has done a lot of harm to physics research over the past decades. It is quite remarkable and more than a bit surprising that the primary tenet of general relativity -- that spacetime behaves di

Do you know of any good RDF datasets or repositories to look for? I am familiar with linked data / semantic web but have not kept up on developments for a long while now.

I guess it depends on what you're calling "your data" -- without being able to reconstruct an image from a noised vector, can we say that that vector in any way represents "your data"? The way the process works, App

Do you have a technical background? 50 seems quite low for someone to get the gist of the resumes and have a sense of the applicants. If recruiting departments really suffer at parsing about 50 apps per day per recruiter, I can see why this

In short: good abstractions simplify by centralizing operational logic. But it's not until a certain scale where that option is more efficient from bespoke implementations.

There's both "is" and "ought" components to this conversation and we would do well to disambiguate them. I would engage with those people you're stereotyping rather than gossiping in a comments section, I suspe

Everyone who actually works on this stuff, and didn't have ulterior motives in hyping it up to (over)sell it, have been identifying themselves as such and providing context for the hype since the beginning. The furthest they got before

Human performance, broadly speaking, is the benchmark being targeted by those training AI models. Humans are part of the conversation since that's the only kind of intelligence these folks can conceive of.

The copyright question is inherently tied to the requirement to earn money from your labor in this economy. I think the anti-establishment folks are not so rabid that they can't recognize real material conditions.

I don't want to come across as too harsh but having studied machine learning since 2015 I find the most recent crop of people excited about working on AI are deep in Dunning-Kruger. I think I conflate this a bit with the fascination of

I think you've mixed up a few mostly unrelated things together to make a point. You're correct in that the larger point to be made is that analog and digital computing are paradigmatically distinct and analogies are hard to draw a
