It is not obvious to me that this is correcting for the differences in bicycle vs escooter users? Or the total number of users over time.

By and large I expect someone riding a bicycle to be fitter than the average bear. In contrast, someone using an escooter could have any possible composition: slim/obese, young/old, safe/reckless. The increasing popularity of scooters also means that the absolute number of people has likely risen from a decade ago.

I might have a work use case for which this would be perfect.

Having no experience with word2vec, some reference performance numbers would be great. If I have one million PDF pages, how long is that going to take to encode? How long will it take to search? Is it CPU only or will I get a huge performance benefit if I have a GPU?

  Nah. Microsoft did a great job handling Minecraft imo.
I am still peeved that my lifetime license "mysteriously" broke during Microsoft's account transitions. Trillion dollar company lacks the manpower and technical capability to handle it? Or someone cannot be arsed to maintain "freeloader" customers.

Every F500 company with historical Oracle installations built before the open source offerings were actually competitive. Even if every one of those decided today they were going to ditch Oracle, you are talking about multi-year initiatives.

Why does the article not say how much that thing weighs? It looks hefty, though I suppose a human heart is also probably dense.

Is this then a done deal? Or can the Supreme Court somehow decide there was a half-sentence in a Federalist Paper which argued the opposite and invalidate the ruling?

You were not kidding. On the front page of this moment is "14,000 3v Lithium CR2032 Coin Batteries" held in two barrels with a weight of 200 pounds. A tremendous bargain, if you can snatch it at the current bid of $20.

For 4, I would always start with RF. You have fewer knobs to turn (aka degrees of freedom with which to hang yourself), but still get within spitting distance of XGBoost.

Half of the US voting population is still cheering cries of, "Drill baby drill". There are significant entrenched interests who are fighting renewable development wherever possible. It is only because the economics of solar panels have gotten too good to ignore that things are proceeding.

That the oven timer is oven adjacent seems a must.

Incredibly common in the US as well to use different units per item. All the better because our garbage measuring system can make unit switches significantly trickier.
