I have 2 and 3 year CDs in a bunch of banks. (This is a common use case, people open separate accounts because of the FDIC insurance limit in any one bank). I only need to log in again 2 or 3 years after opening the account to either take t

I switched back to Windows 10 as my primary desktop and laptops OS after years of running Mac -- especially on laptops. We do a lot of high-end GPU stuff here, and Apple doesn't make any hardware that supports multiple high-end NVIDIA

Having lived in both, I can tell you that Manhattan is much nicer, cleaner, and safer, with more resources, better food, and better culture. Violent Crime rate is 2.5x times higher in San Francisco. (Ask Wolfram Alpha)

I wonder if the "deep learning" is getting any hints from the bayer patterns that may be detectable even in the desaturated image. It would be interesting to see what it did from a true b/w sensor, a Fovean sensor, or a scan
