as a researcher in NLP slash computational linguistics, this is what I tend to think :) (maybe a less strong version, though, there are other kinds of thinking and learning). so I'…

Interestingly, one advantage SignWriting may have over IPA is that while you cannot easily represent sounds in a visual medium (thus letters are mostly arbitrary) movement and hand…

It's a way to write sign languages. Think of like the alphabet, but for hands, movements etc instead of sounds. Now, it may not be obvious that there is a necessity for a writing s…

Since an organism characteristics depend a lot on its evolutionary history, classifying organisms like that helps us make predictions and assumptions based on our knowledge of rela…

I use both (neovim instead of vim, i3 as wm) and you got me thinking. I think the point of both is actually not having to use the mouse. But the mouse is not the problem per se, pr…

I don't think democracy is about having the "best" government, that'd be technocracy, I guess. Democracy is about sharing the power, and having the most legitimate government based…

Nintendo at least has a good history with this, at least in my experience. Both 3ds and WiiU e-stores were closed, but I can still play all my digital games on both. I can even mak…

I studied math, so I can never understand the insistence that the truth of the fourier transform is that it converts from the time domain into the frequency domain. What if you app…

You can dump the metadata and then restore it, maybe that'll work for you?

I setup authelia specifically for this and it was barely a morning's work, and works beautifully.

I'm reading my thesis next tuesday, and the advances in AI the last couple of years have already made most of it obsolete :/ Anyway I'm excited and looking forward to the code and …

If I understood correctly, to me there seem to be two keys to the proposed method: 1) they use a single, shared embedding space for the two languages, forcing the model to learn "s…

Well that's what we humans do, isn't it? :) In any case, text seems to stil form a part: > During training, we use monolingual speech-text datasets So there's still a way till mach…

I still don't get the MITM argument. To me, it feels like there is a lot of heavy lifting beneath the could in "a EU government could MITM any other EU country citizen". Can somebo…
