You can also exclude results from the site completely with -site:github.com, though you're still left with the problem that 'git fork' and variants won't really bring up results that are forks of git, but results that

Not always. A prominent counterexample would be Bill Gates Sr. In any case, you don't have to wait for the 2021 report to see the evidence that hunger is a real problem even in 1st world countries like the UK. Mothers going hungry so

Very cool! Do you have any sort of dashboard displaying stats for the service? Simple totals would be interesting, of course (size, # of buckets, # of edits, etc.), but I'd find histograms of edits etc. per bucket particularly fasc

So, if your goal is the fitness app market, maybe start with a more specialized segment, like parents of small children (because pushing a stroller increases the effort) and expanding from there (say, to seniors with mobility issues).

The main point of lean startup isn't to have better ideas, it is to identify and discard bad ones faster, and focus your limited resources on the wheat among the chaff.

It would be interesting to see what neural translation systems (in general, not just for code) use as an implicit internal IR.

Huh. Seems like that would be a viable (indeed, valued and interesting) niche for a mathematics journal.

Can't you create ever larger arrays of reasonably sized lenses? And "array" just means "two or more widely separated by a known distance", so opposite sides of (polar?) orbit should work.

More than a "bit" sociopathic, unless you are saying that this person had to make a conscious effort to avoid reciprocating, and you know that they naturally formed reciprocal bonds in other contexts.

Free markets are one of the most powerful tools we have available, but that very same power makes them very dangerous to wield. I don't want competive markets in human organs for transplants no matter HOW much better they would perform

I have the feeling that the survey discussed in the original article is overgeneralizing from narrow questions of regulation eg. surge pricing, labor markets, etc., and that the so-called liberaltarians probably would be far less skeptical

Thanks for the reply. Aside from the coherence and consistency issues you've noted, does the output actually conform to the specified plot summary, or does it deviate from it?

An amusing retort, to be sure, but the "creator" could be an entirely automated process, akin to instantiating a VM or container. In other words, God has been a replaced with a very small shell script. So, even if an intelligent c
