An average US citizen eats about 3500kcal daily. Half of those calories are from fatty animal foods, half are from refined sugar. Why is everyone demonizing fatty foods, or sugar, when that 3500 number is screaming at us from afar?! US citi

> Capitalism can't dictate morals. I do agree with that. > Killing pigs and killing elephants is in a similar category. But it's kind of about context. Yeah, the context being that elephants are glorified by the press, while

Nope. Works slow with 0 books, although I do have about 700, which still is by Big-Oh standards, at least it should be, small.

Just like we domesticated cattle, we could do the same with practically all animals. I mean, cows, pigs, chickens (dogs and cats) are the most docile creatures on earth. How would we enslave, rape, raise, slaughter them if they were angry a

Calibre is unfortunately a big mess of spaghetti code. I had a problem with speeds when a book is being added. Couldn't get myself out of the soup to fix it.

Yeah, and I'm a true believer in bad science.

One can find homeopathic remedies in Whole Foods. Maybe that's a pharmacy?

It all evolves slowly but steadily. Given an animal that can produce sounds, if sounds are meaningful enough it can be a big advantage. Given more animals that produce sounds, the ones that can transmit more information will survive. It&#x2

unsafe with features sounds like monad transformers in haskell. if implemented it would probably outperform haskell (given that monad transformers in haskell have runtime overhead, unfortunately).

Yeah, but here it's not really about food, here it's about huge stockpiles of cheese, or about draining the water from the dry areas for cattle. That's not food, that's luxury. Subsidies aren't necessary if you are

EU agriculture has extremely large dependence on soy from Argentina and Brazil. [1] It's on a good path as in, it acknowledges the issue and is working through regulations to remove the dependence or drastically reduce the dependence.

Too much subsidies in farming business. No true capitalism. When I see how much of EU money goes to farmers, it's ridiculous. It funds the destruction of rainforests all around the world, ecosystems, oceans etc. Yes, the food wouldn&#x

Which cultures? There are social constructs but I would not deny biology. Effect of testosterone and estrogen on behavior has been studied extensively and it is quite clear from that why men and women behave the way they do. Is women avoidi

It's biology. Women are less aggressive and assertive by nature. Testosterone and stupidity (much more prevalent in male population) does wonders when it comes to being aggressive, assertive and risk seeking.

It sounds very weird. If the space is closed, the AC makes the air dryer, so sweating should be minimal on these low temperatures (dampness is hell). Are you sitting next to a window that is blasting its rays over your body? Is the building

24-25 Celsius on lowest fan settings should be cold enough for practically everyone.

Firefox on Sierra is extremely slow. Not just javascript but everything else. Can't understand how it differs so much compared to being run on Ubuntu.

There's a very good book for Latin that uses that trick. Goes from zero to extremely complex Latin. Whole book is in Latin, no translations. https://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Illustrata-Pars-Familia... The only requ

Women are just less aggressive when negotiating and are more agreeable than men. It's statistics and it's obviously biological. Women also feel satisfied with compensation at one moment and have no desire to increase their working

Samo Login, which means Just Login (as in "just do it"). Quite amusing name :D It was deliberate, obviously.

How does the performance of algorithms hold? I'm seeing all these old reports of how it's computationally difficult, yet can't find any performance reviews on new hardware. Not mentioning FPGAs or whatever else.

Thank you for the comments, couldn't find any newer papers in the subject that advanced the methods. Yes, it was VL1.

They should try to incorporate ideas of sound generation from samples which were established long ago, patented and then the area completely forgotten. Patents have since then expired. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karp

Well, BLEU is non-differentiable and not decomposable over sequence of translation decisions. Yet I wouldn't call methods reinforcement learning because loss is tricky. But yeah, I guess there's more to it than meets the eye.

by projectorlochsa 9y ago
I don't think reinforcement learning is equivalent over optimizing joint loss. I mean, their model executes X steps and then they calculate the loss using supervised data, use that loss to learn. The same is being done with machine tra

most speed gain tricks in ripgrep have nothing to do with string algorithms. you can save a lot of time by parallelizing your filesystem walks or by using some system call tricks for reading files as quickly as possible.
