Just what would the models be trained on? Machine learning requires you to have a corpus of mappings between peices of texts in two languages, each of which have been established t…

Something or the other is obsure about this task. But to be honest I'd have never come across something as ridiculous and what is purported to be true here. My ability to write use…

Something or the other does stick and prosper. Intentions are rarely misunderstood or misguided. At best there is weird discrepancy between what is thought and what is revealed. Wh…

Your argument is ridiculous for two simple reasons: 1. Do understand it is the same group of 5-14 who go on to transition to becoming 15-24 & so after having their life experiences…

This exact problem plagues India. The public education system is essentially irrelevant here. Teachers hardly make money, even in private schools are hence incentivised towards joi…

Can relate. Been 3 months since I recovered. Sense of smell has recovered definitely but since the past 2-3 weeks I've noticed it's still not fully there. A rare house plant bloomi…

I think you might be overestimating. What is state of art biological engineering based upon? Current life processes, at best such technologies are "hacks" built on top of life on e…

> Unneeded efforts is where all the technology began. let's say i grant this, but will you employ the said tech unless it is useful for you to do so? the question here is about the…

the critical question is: is it economical? let's take the example of replacing all plants with something humans made. Let's take one function (among innumerable others we might kn…

What a strange coincidence. currently reading bateson's book with that title.
