You can either have it display from a Google Photos photo album, and get the version of the interface which constantly displays ads to you, or you can switch the interface to "apps only" mode which will only show you one big ad on the home screen. In "apps only" mode, the thing won't display your photos, either as a screensaver or anything else. You still need to be logged into your Google account, of course; as far as I can tell, not displaying photos is just a way of punishing you for trying to reduce the ads you see.
I'm not sure that Shakespeare really had a concept of beyond young infatuation like we have today
I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean that he mostly thought of love as childish infatuation, you can see him exploring quite a variety of other types of love in the sonnets.
My intuition is that in the case of audiobook narrators who adopt different voices for different characters, VALL-E would struggle to identify which character is speaking and thus produce the correct voice for a given portion of, say, text in quotation marks. In some bits of prose it can be difficult for a human reader to determine who is speaking, for that matter, but this is a classic weakness with the current crop of AI tools, and stems from a lack of actual understanding of the text.
Juxt had a recent blog post covering the new Clojure (iteration) function in depth, which is useful for abstracting over sequences that require some state management to access, such as a paginated API.
One or two examples exist. The venerable MetaFilter is heavily moderated ans charges $5 for a (lifetime) membership, which tends to keep out drive-by commenting.
Yeah, I've long thought a diff tool that works on s-exprs instead of lines would be invaluable for Lisp programming. It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to write, either, although getting GitHub etc to use it seems like it would be its own challenge...
Any Portland residents want to comment on the state of the Portland tech scene there? The Oregonian article makes it sound slightly dire...
No big new tech company has emerged in Oregon since the 1990s, though, and the old ones are steadily vanishing. The $8 billion sale of Wilsonville-based Flir Systems, announced Monday, leaves just two publicly traded technology companies in Oregon.
Any US citizen can get a USAA checking account, and it's quite usable with a decent Android app and the ability to easily transfer money around from different banks. Some of their other services, like car loans, are only available to members of the military, though.
The immutable database Datomic (from Rich Hickey, inventor of Clojure) is all based on datalog, and is fairly popular in the nichey world of Clojure development; there are several other similar datalog-based systems outside of Clojure as well.
