Not sure about bad labels, but semi-supervised learning is the term for training on data with a lot of missing labels. Essentially the algorithm makes predictions on the unlabeled data and uses its highest confidence predictions as addition

What do you mean by "low latency"? Low latency before the user sees anything? Low latency before the user can interact with the app? Low latency navigating to the next page? It's hard to answer every conceivable question in a

In context, I would expect "performance" to refer to how quickly a scene can be rendered, and another buzzword, "scalable", to refer to the size and complexity of scenes that can be drawn. "Beautiful" probably

It is a word because people keep using it. That's where words come from. Apart from the number of characters, it is no better or worse than other words/phrases having the same meaning. Sometimes the precise meaning is clear from

With a few exceptions like HD video hosting or sites doing a ton of computation for every request, the best response to point 1 is to just lighten the site, which reduces the load from bots and also improves the UX for humans. Rate limiting

It looks like it was designed to fit perfectly above the fold on the screen, but then some manager (to put it mildly) came along and made them insert a useless grey bar at the top, pushing everything else down. Nothing a little "Block

It's not Mozilla's job to adjudicate license infringement, but the GPL doesn't give permission to lie about who owns the copyright as that extension apparently does. Regardless, Mozilla probably should hold "recommended&

Looks like a typo for 2008, considering "recession" and "over the last 11 years".

Plenty of young people are involved in "maker" and "hacker" activities using radio communications on the unlicensed bands. The cost of entry is on the order of $10 compared to $1000 for a half-decent HF station that&#x27

I shopped at RadioShack just one time in the '90s. I bought some walkie talkies, and the cashier insisted that I provide my name and address to make the purchase. I said I didn't want junk mail. He assured me that it was only for

ES6 arrow functions are very convenient and look remarkably similar to Example 1, so learning that syntax is probably inevitable in the long term. And I doubt someone who has never programmed before would understand either snippet, althou

Mozilla Corporation is a taxable entity owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. The tax system in the US apparently doesn't take kindly to non-profits funding open-source projects because they "can" be used commercially.

Maybe in the '90s. Today's students are busy cooking up ways to use ambient radio signals ("illuminators of opportunity") as passive radar to see into houses.

It's a letter, issued by an occult kangaroo court, that coup d'etat forces hold in hand while demanding the keys to the kingdom - a demand that can't be challenged in a legitimate court of law.

A mid-range motorcycle is cheaper than a car and could make that trip in 9 minutes or less, if security isn't a concern.

Well that seems less preposterous than my own idea of using lasers to accelerate a ring of air, generating a plasma circuit that would pull the craft up magnetically. (Version 2 would have a series of plasma rings that the craft would fly t

I wonder if there are enough privacy advocates to convince stores to stop carrying invasive products by buying the product and then returning it, citing the privacy policy. Question is whether the store would actually stop selling the produ

If blocks were closer to optimal, it should have the effect of raising transaction fees to ensure timely confirmation, which would improve the reward ratio somewhat. Maybe it still wouldn't be significant.

It's like asking people to stop voting for the least-awful of the two candidates showcased on the teevee. Yes, they should just stop for their own good and for the public good, but it's not going to happen.

I think it depends more on the federal government officially deferring to state drug laws (unlikely) or taking action to de-schedule marijuana specifically (slightly less unlikely). Right now the only people who can grow cannabis openly and
