The progressive end of slavery is often quoted as a possible cause for the sudden interest in moving machines.

Areva can't really bankrupt: it is backed by the French government, its main owner. It still exist and is basically a public company that critics argue is structured in order to dismantle the industrial companies that were still under

How would you argue he is secular? Last time I checked KSA had an official religion, apostasy was punished (in theory) by death and one of its main cities (Mecca) was forbidden to non-muslims.

If you know that image generators are not it, then why talk about it here? Do you get this kind of angst at every technological increment? Apart from nuclear scientists I don't know a field where participants are as conscious of the ri

Conservatives all over the world dream of setting up a chinese-style firewall in their countries. They are angry that it was first done by a clearly authoritarian regime which brings some resistance to the idea, but otherwise, in the name o

Japan is similar. I keep marveling at the stories about the US system and wonder how it is supposed to be considered friendly for businesses...

18% of the world population, but what is relevant is the % of web users. This country denies its citizen the benefits of an open web and treats the ability to route around censorship like a bug to fix. Why give someone a seat at a committee

More than the military budget, the reluctance to let the population access an unfiltered internet is problematic. The CCP is trying to create a separate network from the global one, this raises many questions.

I am not sure if I am cynical or humble here, but my question is "Why would anyone care?". First, the company is hiring an engineer, not a CTO or a head of marketing. Why would they consider my input valid? Even in my field of exp

In almost all practical uses of matrix multiplication, we have rounding errors. For example, in 3D it is hard to reverse exactly a rotation and get the exact initial position back. I don't know what amount of losses we are talking abou

Oh adoption does not have to be that good. It is for researchers right now, to exchange results. So the only requirement is that it is possible to use it with a somewhat mature lib in python.
