I can't tell if you're serious about this.

Fatal motor vehicle accidents are just over 865000 times more common than commercial air travel accidents, but until dash cams we never got to see them, so people think it can't happen to them, when it's slightly worse than even odds.

If we limited drivers permits to the 8% or so of drivers who are actually competent we'd solve a lot of problems in several domains.

I self-selected as ineligible to drive years ago, and I've never regretted it. Of course I had to move away from my home country and learn a new language, but those are the shakes.

I don't believe it's possible to 86 47 but Jack Poso seems to be volunteering as a surrogate.

People who think the idiom is "how x looks like" rather than "what x looks like", which is more correct.

You can run it on your laptop. I do.

"Server" in this case refers to client-server architecture.

That said this community is about hosting things on a computer you own which can very much be online. But this one works offline too.

Most of us can't read as quickly as we can absorb spoken language.

I learned this directly when I decided to create English subtitles for French films and TV as an exercise when I was trying to get from B2 to C1 in French. It was a good exercise, but the result was unusable because the text often goes by too quickly to read.

That's when I understood that it really is an art.

The subtitle artist must make descriptions work, punch lines land, and reproduce dialog with the correct gravitas. And they have to do it while cutting 50 percent or more of a meaningful, culturally-grounded translation.

It doesn't seem like the kind of thing an id-less ml model could ever do.

It means the same thing as sticking your chopsticks in the rice so they stand up, or as pouring a couple of drops of your alcohol on the ground.

It's universal. You just have to find the local way of expressing it.
