You can either have it display from a Google Photos photo album, and get the version of the interface which constantly displays ads to you, or you can switch the interface to "apps only" mode which will only show you one big ad

I'm not sure that Shakespeare really had a concept of beyond young infatuation like we have today I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean that he mostly thought of love as childish infatuation, you can see him exploring quit

My intuition is that in the case of audiobook narrators who adopt different voices for different characters, VALL-E would struggle to identify which character is speaking and thus produce the correct voice for a given portion of, say, text

Juxt had a recent blog post covering the new Clojure (iteration) function in depth, which is useful for abstracting over sequences that require some state management to access, such as a paginated API. https://www.juxt.pro/b

One or two examples exist. The venerable MetaFilter is heavily moderated ans charges $5 for a (lifetime) membership, which tends to keep out drive-by commenting.

Yeah, I've long thought a diff tool that works on s-exprs instead of lines would be invaluable for Lisp programming. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to write, either, although getting GitHub etc to use it seems like it w

That's... kind of a rubbish summary, but I'm not sure what I'd want a ~700-word summary of The Great Gatsby to look like.

Any Portland residents want to comment on the state of the Portland tech scene there? The Oregonian article makes it sound slightly dire... No big new tech company has emerged in Oregon since the 1990s, though, and the old ones are steadil

Any US citizen can get a USAA checking account, and it's quite usable with a decent Android app and the ability to easily transfer money around from different banks. Some of their other services, like car loans, are only available to m

The immutable database Datomic (from Rich Hickey, inventor of Clojure) is all based on datalog, and is fairly popular in the nichey world of Clojure development; there are several other similar datalog-based systems outside of Clojure as we

Choosing to encode the representation of pi as a base-10 decimal number to get the source data is pretty arbitrary, too.

That's true, although as someone commented in the github thread, SVG diagrams are very much XML, with a namespace and everything.

Yeah, among other things Lisp isn't big on labels and GOTO (but BASIC is).

I agree completely on masks being preferable to this, but I wonder whether it may have some utility anyways, because even if it does not catch many asymptomatic people, if it is widely deployed and it catches _some_ people, those people don

I sympathize with what you're saying, but any broad survey of an incredibly complex subject like this is necessarily going to need to simplify some aspects of it. I definitely agree with you that the notion of the mind as a physical co

I'm honestly not trolling with this question, but can you explain what the practical applications of text generation are? From what I've seen of GPT-2, it's a cool toy, but I have never seen it create anything that seems like

Yeah, if the personal (or shadow) profile has a phone number, and the same phone number is in the tracked data, removing the personal profile's user ID seems a little beside the point.
