There's a Youtube channel called something like 'AI Channel' that has relevant talks. LeCun did a big one a few months ago. Hinton has had at least one Google Talk.

These huge renewable projects do have major ecological impact, why lie about it? Due to low power generation density they take up a lot of space compared to fossil fuel/nuclear plants and that's not including the large amount of p

For sure, you may have very well got a good mattress at a good price. However, things you did like price-matching don't work in mattress-land because all the companies release the same mattress under different models, brands and SKU&#x

Online mattresses became popular because of the multi-naming, multi-branded, high-margin existing world of mattress sales which was, and is, way scummier than online mattress sales are. Plus, how are you really going to judge a mattress by

This is a many-times repost but still a good read. I've gotten to the point where I only trust Wirecutter/Consumer Reports reviews of anything.

How did 'skilled' programmers recover when a daemon crashed in Sys5 init-based systems? The init script ends after startup so you are stuck with a third party monitoring service that will often clash with startup functions making

Yes, systemd makes being an application developer on Linux so much easier. You can declaratively control state of your daemons, recover from crashes, add process limits, control startup order correctly and on and on.. Much more readable and

I agree. Tipping is now approaching 20-25% in my Canadian city, it's adding on so much cost to going out. It's about time to rationalize this space and get some better models.

I like business news in general. You make money in finance by being right and people in the industry will gravitate towards accurate sources by definition. In general, business news tends to have the best qualified hosts as well, who can ac

I'm a NBA fan, it's been funny to see Steve Ballmer portrayed as a business titan using his know-how to turn around the Clippers rather than as a college buddy of Bill Gates who might have been the worst tech CEO of the late 1990&

Canada, EU and the U.S. all have massive agriculture subsidies. This article was actually about Canada, you realize? The EU subsidies for Iberian fisherman to allow them to catch and catch regardless of economics have been the prime mover

Ranching is way better for natural habitat than cropping. Cattle in the North American prairies graze on native grasses where on cultivated land (in Saskatchewan, for peas, wheat and canola) all native grasses are ripped up for crop and rip

An interesting topic but there were some really silly speculations that ruined a lot of the piece. Big farms can't combine in stages because they have more diverse terrain? Multiple combines harvesting together are a picture from a hor

Articles on Bloomberg about this already on who pays if they are found liable for huge amounts of damages, ratepayers, shareholders, taxpayers or bondholders. Likely to be a combination of all four in some amount, if the worse comes to happ
