Half the entropy is trying to figure out which pieces of this article's text are supposed to be the silly falsehoods being corrected, and which pieces are just the second or third paragraph of a preceding 'Fact'. Deadpool is

Hm, no, non-24 is not just a severe version of DSPS. Or rather he seems to be saying DSPS is really just a less severe version of non-24. I have it. What I've learned from my doc (a researcher in the field): It's primarily a spec

It's more another example of 'you can sue for anything on a whim'.

I'm still mostly without words; I just hear Ralph's voice in my head when I think about his passing. He was a force of warm, kind, friendly enthusiasm. We miss you, rillian.

"It's not a guidebook"... This might be the scariest point. To me at least, it only felt obvious after stating it directly.

He can, he did, and we're all here arguing about it, which somehow delights me.

Amazing what you can do when you throw 10 billion transistors at a problem instead of only a few million.

Waiting for the Derek Lowe post, but... if this is legit, it's a 'holy flipping s**' moment. That kind of success in Phase I human trials is incredibly rare.

This is actually some wonderful work that succinctly explains a lot of my experience. Much of how I was formally taught to program is counterproductive to the big picture the second someone else has to understand the code. It's part o

Short answer is 'bugs', possibly even in the reviewer's own software. Opus (and I would fully expect AAC-LC) preserves time alignment. Something unknown, somewhere unknown, in an unknown part of the unknown software chain c

While it's clear exercise is good for everyone, this statement is not well informed. For example, oxygen saturation monitoring revealed my at-rest breathing reflex is completely broken due to a known genetic flaw. You know the memes a

In fact, the 'does what I want, does it well, and does little else" is very much the reason I like it. Whatever you think of it under the hood (and I have opinions, both positive and negative here), I do like using it. It's

Many people did, and the drives were not expensive at all really, not if you ever popped over to a swapfest (I had one, and money was very tight in our family at the time, but Dad was adamant that we have a computer to play with--- forward

Just tried it on _Meet The Sniper_. Disappointment :-( [This was an unreasonable test, and it did really well considering the likely training set. I bet it could do much better with better data. Still... man, I was so hoping for magic.]

I thought it was pretty good-- a welcome change from completely unbearable 'let's point and laugh at the nerds' shows like BBT. The archetypes in the Silicon Valley series are hyperreal-- but I swear I've worked with (o

The problem with any specific process or link recommendations is they become obsolete instantly. Putting one of these together requires some searching and active exception handling. There are Chinese services that do forwarding (I use FSC)

It'll be a little while before I'm offering them again. Still clearing new projects out of the way.
