I'm American and I have heard "super senior" and seen it used in print. Go figure.

The term "Battle Royale" has existed since at least the 18th c. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/445444/origin-of...

My intuition is that it goes both ways and it's a feedback loop/downward spiral.

As they say, tragedy (or alternatively, adversity) plus time equals comedy.

As sibling post said, it just really depends on the location in Europe. Here in Turin (NW Italy), everything is 4G-LTE/5G and they're phasing out 3G completely.

That is actually what is happening, per the article. It's being banned as being labelled an "active ingredient" in OTC decongestant pills.

I'm pretty sure that's the definition of "editing". If anything I feel that you're arguing not to call it a "creator".

It's not exactly like gas, but it's not not like gas... there's something distinctly petrochemical-like about it and also garlicky, which makes sense since dithiapentane and allicin (the primary component of garlic aroma) a

Another way to tell if you're being had, I believe only white truffle actually contains dithiapentane or the flavor it mimics. So, if you're eating black truffles and it has that strong, distinctive "truffle oil" gas-gar

FWIW I have ADHD and you've described exactly how I work as well. I wish I didn't need to have that pressure in order to get things done -- this work style has definitely been detrimental to my career. Meds do help somewhat but ar

I finally got around to visiting here last spring and it was really interesting. It was beautiful and eerie and a bit dystopian in how everything is abandoned or at least partially abandoned (some buildings are still partially in use). Note

Actually that technique is called a "Caesar cipher" and it has been employed since at least the 1st c. BCE.

Interesting question. First I'd say veganism isn't a monolith, so opinions will probably differ on the matter. For instance, there is some debate about whether figs are vegan since they are pollinated by fig wasps which then die i

yes, cosine similarity involves normalizing the points (by the L2 norm) and then dot product. In other words the points lie on the unit (hyper)sphere.

Do you have an example? I have experience with both but can't imagine how it's any different when all the traffic patterns are constructed with the appropriate chirality.

I'm not sure I follow. What's "the message"? Could you provide some specific examples?

It's not a major error -- the words are etymological siblings and it's clear what was meant. Repair translates to something resembling "reparation" in most romance languages so it's an easy translation mistake to ma

It's counterintuitive, but the term "fossil" doesn't always necessitate fossilization. Basically if the specimen is >10,000 yo (roughly the transition from Pleistocene to Holocene) then it can be referred to as a &quo

An NPU is a type of ASIC for fast, parallel matrix multiplication. GPUs and FPGAs are much more multi-purpose (and more powerful overall typically) but at the cost of much worse power efficiency.

The starter kit contains the Hailo-8 (26 TOPS), whereas the Pi AI kit contains the Hailo-8L (13 TOPS), so the pricing of the two seems more or less in line with each other at least

This is a really unnecessarily rude way to call out a minor grammar quibble. The sentence was perfectly understandable. Also, whether you like it or not, it is quite common English (at least in the US) these days to use they/them as th

This. Being on equal-or-better footing acts as a deterrent. Same reason countries don't keep all of their warfare technologies secret, e.g. the DoD makes press releases about new technologies and will publish just enough specs for an a

I also think there is probably not a single cause for either ASD or ADHD -- there is probably both a genetic component and an environmental component involved. At the same time, it's very hard to tease these things apart, especially wi

It's a bit funny to imagine him as so sophomoric that he really thought this was the optimal game-theoretic strategy, which is true only in the most simplistic scenario.

Weak. If you believe it's up for debate then please refrain from responding with your own opinion like it's scientific fact.
