I'm not in the US, but as an immigrant myself I can say it's incredibly stressful to be on a working visa during job changes and during a period of unstable economy. Especially if you have family. To be rational, I work in academi

Yeah, I thought the same after seeing this. It's kind of a fun use-case of Diffusion models in this context, but as a scientific paper it seems too overselling. Well, it surely is the kind of clickbaity content to anticipate lots of re

Well to be fair, three of the four apps are Apple ecosystem apps (although Craft now expanding to other platforms). Maybe Roam, Obsidian, Logseq would be better examples of booming apps note-takers jump ship to? But then, I think all of the

My portfolio website is 4-lingual and the initial setup was pretty confusing (a bit trial and error until I understood how it works). But now it works very conveniently.

Hugo has a multilingual mode[1] which I am using on two websites. It's a bit confusing at first but works pretty well for me. For content, you basically put blogarticle.en.md and blogarticle.fr.md next to each other it will treat it as

There's a paper which does something similar including an analysis of different statistical models on top of a CIELAB color space. Estimating Color-Concept Associations from Image Statistics. Ragini Rathore et al., IEEE VIS InfoVis 201

For people who are interested in this kind of idea, there is some research on estimating Word-Color associations. A popular crowd-sourced dataset for this is [1] which contains average color association for 14,000 words. There is a demo ava

While I think general awareness of ethics concerns is needed, I think it might also sometimes bias research directions in itself. I.e., dealing with ethics concerns and/or ethics committees becomes a huge additional workload in itself,

There's very good advice in there for people in leading or mentoring positions. I am in academia and I noticed many professors are a mixed bag when it comes to such communication skills. They don't really compliment students much

Yes, the seeming performance of (especially) neural models compared to traditional models is probably the main factor. Although, some voices[1] argue that traditional or much simpler approaches still often do a similar job compared to super

That I was hinting at in the last sentence. Apple Watch 5 and iPhone 11 came out on the same day and needed watchOS 6 and iOS 13 respectively, so basically, those hardware releases forced the buggy *OS to be released across all platforms an

Comparing iOS 10~13 with macOS 10.12~15 release dates, macOS seems to always come out 7 days after iOS. This year it has been 12 days after iOS 13.0, instead. Wouldn't really call that much of a push back. It's less than one week

This year all their OSes seem to be riddled with issues at release. - iOS 13.0 was so bad they released 13.1 in less than 5 days, but even now many things are still hit and miss (with 13.2 in beta) - watchOS 6.0 is also still pretty bad and

Indeed. I used to use LR Classic on my Mac, but since the new LR got more and more features I switched to using my iPad almost exclusively. I don't think I used LR on my Mac in months.

Isn't a battery replacement just $199, anyway? Might have been the cheaper alternative even without the recall. I had a similar decision a few weeks ago (contemplating whether to go from a 2014 15" MacBook to a 2019 model because
