Google pre 2010 was perfectly functional. No realtime search suggestions, advanced search parameters that were actually working, possibility of doing an exact string search if needed. The technology for indexing the web was mature enough by

Neat method. However, the frequency range for the device is 7600-13600 Hz: less than an octave.

Kudos for mentioning the second season of The Wire. At first, when watching the season, the theme felt misplaced, but it ended up being a very well done sociological exploration on deindustrialization. Given the current geopolitical issues

With all its present and past limitations, Brazil is a democracy. I do not know India enough, but it is not a regime either.

Agreed! In Rome for some time now one can top up his paper NFC ticket; there is no reason to throw it away.

How come is a 15% IPC increase generation for generation a disappointing result? There might be greener pastures, I agree, but a 15% increase year over year for the quality factor of a product is nothing to be disappointed of. It's goo

The way a sound evolves in time contains a lot of timbrical information. Different harmonics have different ADSR curves (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). Above all, one cannot overstress the importance of the attack transient. There are fa

That's probably true. Maybe there is a point to trade computational/energetic efficiency for attainability of a result. Let's see how this unfolds.

I'll try to give a serious answer, even if I suppose yours was a nice joke :) Music is a language, even if with no semantic. It has conventions, dialects, a syntax, a grammar. There are multiple dimensions a musician uses to convey wha

I suppose the focus was on voice synthesis here. I won't add anything about it since other commenters have already said significant things about this wonderful feat. Musically, however, I can't help but notice that these models ar

And now decoding a jpeg takes the blink of an eye, but we wait five seconds for a widget to render. When it does, we click somewhere else, because in that exact moment the layout was reflown.

The turistic center has big pedonal areas. However, the rest of the city is as full of cars as it may get. I have to say, it mostly remains walkable. It just would be so much nicer with more efficient public transportation and less private

Now this is really really cool (technologically; let's not talk about the implications for people's freedom). Do you happen to have some pointer were read more about this? Thanks

It's interesting that this conclusion is the exact opposite of a sibling comment, which proposes that a small, human-curated corpus may be more effective than big, synthetic datasets.

Only those that consume 3 kW max :) Jokes aside, I think that this ends up incentivizing an efficient use of energy. That's not so bad after all.

Yep. You can obviously upgrade to 4.5 and 6 kW (still single phase, I think), or go three phase. Single house probably do that. But I'd be surprised if the apartments had more than 3 kW installed. This results in a big payoff for effic
