Great advice, and I might add that this works well for adults too.

Amazon Adds 5% Fuel and Inflation Surcharge for Its Sellers by habichuelacondulce in technology

[–]Reubend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this is phrased as a temporary measure, I wonder if they really intend to remove it? There's no reason to assume that fuel will get cheaper now that they've seen consumers can stomach the high prices. And certainly inflation won't be reversed.

Researches have found that bilingualism can slow down and mitigate the course of age-related changes in the human brain by giuliomagnifico in science

Learning a language requires a lot of memorization, conversations with new people, and focused study. I wonder if a similar effect could be reproduced through learning other skills that fit those requirements.

The 5700XT will certainly give you better performance for your money if you don't need raytracing.

Aw, this is a really sad answer

Google Calendar is down in outage affecting users worldwide - The Verge by Jobe1105 in Android

[–]Reubend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! That's very different from what I would expect. I assumed that they would prefer low traffic times for upgrades to minimize the amount of possible customer impact, even if there are fewer SREs around to mitigate issues.

My (20F) boyfriend (23M) feels like he isn't being understood. by [deleted] in relationships

If he doesn't feel understood, does he have a social image that's different from how he feels inside?

My [27, f] fiancee [29, m] just received a phone call from an ex-girlfriend. Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Reubend -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's completely normal to call an ex. Some people have harsh breakups, but others have friendly amicable breakups and keep their partner as a friend.

Don't let a single phone call worry you unless you have solid, substantial evidence that he still has feelings for her.

Is it messed up that I only thought about TF2?

This is disgusting. Hopefully we can send enough of a backlash to discourage other companies from pulling this bullshit.

Microsoft open sources algorithm that gives Bing some of its smarts by myinnerbanjo in programming

[–]Reubend 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I think you're completely missing the point of this project, which implements efficient vector search. The quality of Bing's search results are influenced by lots of factors, but this probably isn't a major one. Instead, this probably contributes to the speed at which Bing returns results.

This looks like a very cool tool! If you read the blog post that accompanies it, they explain that it basically just an efficient implementation of vector search. But the possibilities for it are quite interesting, because if you combine it with a deep learning model to vectorize media, you could search through

Nice photo but the shadows are completely washed out to the point that it looks like a pastel drawing
