We need somebody to invent a way to prove your age without proving your identity.
I tried the HoloLens once, it was certainly interesting to see digital objects floating in the room. I'm not sure I want my brain getting used to an environjent that isn't fully physical & real though. I don't know what the reprecussions of that would be.
I never expect my standards to sink that low and yet they always do.
We don't have enough information to know whether it was indifference or if people just weren't aware of the petition. (Although the first can definitely affect the second)
Omg I absolutely would
English isn't that easy to learn either. Actually I just spent the first year crying because of how irregular the spelling was and I didn't get a basic grasp until I was about four.
The edges should be jagged tan()-shaped; the flag is not circular.
Once a month, children are brought to [a London studio], one at a time, and shown a handful of episodes to figure out exactly which parts of the shows are engaging and which are tuned out.
For anyone older than 2 years old, the team deploys a whimsically named tool: the Distractatron.
It’s a small TV screen, placed a few feet from the larger one, that plays a continuous loop of banal, real-world scenes — a guy pouring a cup of coffee, someone getting a haircut — each lasting about 20 seconds. Whenever a youngster looks away from the Moonbug show to glimpse the Distractatron, a note is jotted down.
“It’s not super interesting, what’s on the Distractatron,” said Maurice Wheeler, who runs the research group. “But if they aren’t fully focused, they might go, ‘Oh, what’s that?’ and kind of drift over. We can see what they’re looking at and the exact moment when they got distracted.”
What a waste of all lives involved.
You're only as smart as your thinking tools. Here are twenty-five tools, drawn from different professions, you can apply to your most difficult challenges!
A summary of what methods of thinking each profession requires.
I think it can be a good personal growth exercise to try out a job in one of the listed categories that you aren't naturally strong in.
Sorry for the confusing title.
I'm a student trying to establish myself in STEM.
I interned on a team doing ML for a while and when designing networks we'd encounter hyperparameters like batch size, learning rate, or number/width of layers that we'd have to eyeball the value of as we needed a sane, working value, but didn't have the time to play about with.
Then I spent a while on a team doing cellular biology. Again, we'd encounter choices like the selection of medium for cells, the length of incubation, etc. that I'd have no idea what to pick if it was up to me.
Since I'm trying to get a grip in these fields, I'd like to understand why the people I was mirroring chose these values, because to me they seemed completely arbitrary. We didn't get to alter them while completing the project so I never had the opportunity to gain an intuition for how they influence the result and why they selected the values they did.
What should I do? Should I look for the original research papers that investigated these things?
Just a bit ago Africa had fewer people than either of our continents
I feel like I get far fewer responses to my posts when posted from my .ml account than when posted from my .world account. Is this a thing? Should I switch servers?
- It seems I've been carrying that memory around in the back of my head for the last two years, but that memory was inaccessible to my conscious self as I had completely forgotten about that dream. I wonder how much junk we're carrying around in ow memories that we're unaware of just because it's not something we know that we remember and that we can recall at-will.
- Something I experienced right now (I've just been doing homework) must have triggered that memory/made it accessible to me.
I'm a Czech student who grew up in the UK and now lives in Prague.
After some travelling, I've found that Germany feels the most natural to me, because culturally it's somewhere in the middle, which matches how I feel identity-wise. I can speak the language well enough for most everyday and official scenarios, but for socializing I still feel the most comfortable with English (because I don't have to actively think about what I'm saying). Are there any places in Germany with communities that speak English by default? I've been thinking about trying Berlin or perhaps an Erasmus-heavy city like Heidelberg...
I've figured out I can imagine the voices so clearly that scripts/comics would be as good as the real thing. Does anyone know if any good fanfics exist?
Technically these are all still Latin leters, just that they're written in a weird way that evolved from middle-aged Gothic handwriting as opposed to Latin directly which was the case with English cursive. This style of writing, along with the print-oriented 𝔣𝔯𝔞𝔨𝔱𝔲𝔯, was abandoned for the Latin equivalent by the Nazis for logistical reasons in 1941.
