I will look into it! edit: fyi it's originally because the information about Encryption Compliance is so confusing. I just use HTTPS and I'm pretty sure the documentation has gotte…

I wrapped this for iOS, and linked it to Twitter. If you connect it to your account, there is a separate feed of any tweet with a PDF, and one for any arXiv or PDF tweet that you'v…

There is an early-stage community-sourced device which does processing offline: mycroft.ai

Interesting that the draft was predetermined (unlike the previous exhibition, which was live), allowing OpenAI to train ahead of time on a restricted set of matches. I wonder how l…

TFA says the plantation took a $MM loss on their last sugar harvest, and intends to "diversify". According to another article about the company [0], this diversification is: """ • …

How do you beat the "tyranny of the reply"? Automatic karma deductions for 3rd tier replies? Detachment + quoting after the 2nd tier? Positioning based on the cumulative karma of t…

translated: "Just an aside: note that the speed that light travels in any medium is slower than it travels in vacuum. Its speed is no longer 3e8 m/s, but a third less in, for examp…
