Allocations don't have to be expensive if your GC is smart. Smart as C++ destructors positioning :D

Yep, as you acknowledge, your reasoning is irrational. Replacing regular milk with coconut milk is more environmentally friendly, medium-chain fatty acids are better for the liver and heart.

Still, veganism is much more than just a diet and this meaning is what was meant by the vegan-friendly natural latex.

I do assume that people who have never googled "veganism" might have negative opinion of these condoms, but I guess they also won't be aware of the struggles of third world countries and won't care about the goal of this company.

Not that I don't find the fact that veganism had to be mention entertaining.

The author could change the generation of piece by generating a short theme, then fixing that theme at particular points in the note sequence and then generate the gaps, and then repeat the thing as recursively as he wants.

This would provide some recurrence of melodies and would sound infinitely better. Problem with these kinds of models is the window based structure without the notion of the general theme. Theme should then be added by the human, and everything else can be filled using the model.

Why do they need a deep learning model for this? They are obviously targeting signs, product names, menus and similar. Model will obviously fail in translating large texts.

Was there any advantage of using a deep learning model instead of something more computationally simple?

http://musicbrainz.org/ already has this data available.

Another interesting alternative. Prettier than QR and IMO meshtag.

This doesn't seem to solve the puzzle. As much as DSL processing part is done, the whole point of the puzzle was to make the operations sublinear in time complexity.

Any generative model can be used to generate a follow up chord. Of course, you need to learn it on a significant amount of data.

There has been some generative modelling of CNNs but I'm not sure if there's generative ability in any of the existing frameworks.

I'm really interested to see how the author will turn Cover Trees into a generic inference algorithm for bunch of models in HLearn library.

Why are archaeologists concluding that this was used for religious purposes? Why is religion always the central theme in those old findings?

I did chuckle as it reminded me of the "curing cancer" talk Gavin Belson gives in the Silicon Valley series :D

Fundamentally, I guess the difference is that one is type-safe, and the other isn't.

You can get compile time errors instead of runtime for bunch of things.
