This is a conversation between me and a machine learning programmer. I find machine learning fascinating, because for the longest time, humans have been the most clever creatures on the planet. It seems we've finally found a suitable partner in computers when it comes to numerical calculations, and machine learning can help humans answer questions they could spend lifetimes...
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DR01YdFtWFI Factorio is a game about laziness. It’s about getting from point A to point B with as little effort as possible. This seemingly simple task becomes complicated, however, because point B is in space, and you need a rocket to get there.

I...
Evidently the leading star in one of the greatest films ever produced was labeled as a Communist before the film was released, so claimed William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper tycoon on which the film is based. Perhaps it was the revolutionary cinematography the creative minds of the movie produced or the plot that kept moviegoers on the edge of...

This series is incredibly long and dense, so the show has had to cut some plot lines from it. Most of these plot lines were unimportant, but some of them dramatically change the story.

On October 27, 2014, Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, 1989, was released with high hopes from her fans. For some, it was on par with the star’s previous album, RED, and for some, it exceeded their expectations.
