    The repetition in the last sentence and use of "Overall". The structure of the first paragraph too. I appreciate this may not have been the case (sorry OP), which is why I asked th…

    Would you explain why this makes you proud? I assume as the kid is showing a good grasp on identifying his emotions.

    Am I understanding this correctly: you let your 3-5 year old daughter stay up each night to 02:00? When did the sun set where you lived during that time? I suppose that was a big i…

    One approach you could take is to license the code (or simply the tricks) to big tech companies. They can use the tricks, but must pay you x amount. You can provide technical suppo…

    I'm not OP, but the answer is obviously both. Multilingual helps brain develop in new ways, and better personal development helps all nations.

    Why did lists require less memory? Was it because you only held a subset of keys in the lists?

    I assume it's the mobile version of the website so probably has slightly different stylesheets.

    GPU acceleration may produce worse quality and slightly larger files. So there's a trade-off to be had.

    Exactly as some encoders (H264) have keyframes at intervals (e.g., every 30 frames) rather than where the action occurs. As such, they are suboptimal by default if a lot of motion …

    Why not run it on your main OS? Otherwise, Docker is fine.

    You're right - not ideal to manually transfer. Maybe iCloud will offer transcoding as a service next haha. Many smartphones support recording H.265 encoded video directly and the r…

    Why not transcode the data after use to significantly reduce filesize? If the videos are uploaded elsewhere (e.g., YT) they're most certainly transcoded on such services anyway

    My point was that I have never heard anyone describe a server or serverless in that way: as simply a process. I agree that thinking about server as a process/Daemon is a great way …

    Why are you defining server in that way? Do you have a reference? A server is a physical machine with an operating system. It can run many processes.

    What do you recommend as ideal foods to improve the microbiota? Are there any non-obvious foods, such we kefir?

    Why do you have this concern? Did you notice any changes in breathing or such?

    Have you looked into correction vision, e.g., glasses or lens? I wear a pair and have minimal problems when wearing them. When they're off I would likely experience similar to your…

    Obviously there are edge cases when applying statistical tools at a population level. That's not the purpose of BMI though. If you're pregnant or weight training then OBVIOUSLY you…

    So the $850 guy got $850×900? So $765k? How many months were the 900 hours split over? This sounds absolutely ridiculous

    Have you looked into existing version control systems for data, such as DVC?

    Not only cost, but why is accelerating quickly or reaching 200mph important? GP also mentioned 5 seats as important, and to me, those are counter needs. Even on the autostrada I wo…

    Write some fake table. Paste it into ChatGPT, then come back to the discussion. So far you've said that things like "This is the kind of explanation that I need, which surely no AI…

    For reference, this isn't always the case. It is possible for building companies to provide incentives to local authorities to bypass this (£££). Absolutely ridiculous but unfortun…

    Given ASR is becoming really great (e.g., whisper) perhaps the intersection with the transcript and some "rephrase" ratio would be acceptable? So if the LLM deviated too much then …
