92 Johnson Solids
In 1966, Norman Johnson found 92 convex polyhedra made only of regular polygons that didn't belong to any known family. He guessed that was all of them.
In 1969, Victor Zalgaller proved that there are exactly 92.
Is anyone in the market for a 700-year-old Templar Knights watchtower?
Because there's one for sale in the Lot valley, France. 7 bedrooms across 6 floors, a frescoed dining room, spiral staircase and views over a peaceful medieval village in the Lot region.
There's also a 2-bedroom stone cottage in the walled courtyard, an enclosed garden and a heated swimming pool.
Asking price: €550k ($634k).
The Templar Knights who built this probably didn't picture the pool. But here we are.
for years, society was limited to only 16 syrup squares per waffle but with recent combinatorial optimization breakthroughs our research department has achieved previously unheard of densities of waffle syrup
Я сегодня закоммитил правки в документацию CatBoost. Теперь могу считать себя ML-разработчиком? Какие у вас критерии в профессии?
Там в формулах вместо \log было log, невозможно такое читать.
@alisameowmeowmi Возможно, перекошенные выборки:
– в среднем ты засыпаешь на диване, когда совсем устала и капец надо выспаться, откуда сон лучше качеством;
– в среднем засыпаешь на кровати, когда просто пора спать, и качество сна обычное.
@sokobath@xamgore Предыдущие спонсоры (в частности, JB) не имеют отношения к новому проекту, и с нашей стороны было бы неправильно присваивать названия их проектов: CSClub и CSCenter.
Мы решили придумать своё название, новое и одновременно очевидным образом отсылающее к существовавшим.
Автор 3blue1brown (лучший известный мне образовательный канал) ищет переводчиков для своих видео. Пока не на русском; но указывает, что можно и на другие языки предварительно податься.
One of my goals this year is to invest in translations for 3blue1brown. I’d like to hire translators directly, preferably ones with experience teaching, and who are willing to help experiment with some software tools which I hope can make the process less tedious.

For early experiments, we’re budgeting for five languages (Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Hindi). If you’re interested in helping out with other languages, feel free to apply, and if we have the capacity to hire more or coordinate volunteer efforts, we’ll let you know.

Relatedly, last year my friend @beneater put together a site to help coordinate text translations for videos. YouTube used to have a feature like this, but it was discontinued. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has helped submit translations there, it’s not only directly useful for subtitles, but it’s a helpful first step for any dubs.

A number of companies, including YouTube, have been pushing AI dubs. Many of them generate a voice that sounds like the original narrator, which is a bit mind-blowing at first, but my overall impression is that once you get past that first wow factor, AI dubs are simply not that engaging.
I would much rather the voice of the channel in Spanish (or any other language) be a real voice that conveys the feeling of a friendly math teacher than have it be something that vaguely sounds like me.
