From my experience any rules based approach in linguistics may solve the problem at first but it won't scale for too long (it has been tried before, most of old NLP was very rules based I would say) due to many intricacies of languages, corner cases and non-obvious exceptions. It could work — and it fact it does — for simple scenarios, but these are not very real world ones IMHO. I believe a neural model of such cases, over time, will yield better results. I am very skeptical these days about doing computer linguistics without considering some level of AI (so to speak).
To me color knowledge is akin to other cultural backgrounds one (who works in any slightly artistic environment such as UI/UX) must have a priori, not a posteriori of the work. It doesn't add up to your TODO list, that's what I am saying.
PS: image optimization should be done automatically IMHO
AI. SpaceFactory's Marsha seems simple yet elegant, not too much of an exotic architectural design but also (IMHO) based on possible 3D printing engineering. I like the idea of having the printing machinery separate from the building and the logic behind going with that shape. Loved it.
It's hard to assess the quality of all these articles listed in this special page but — oh my — the topics are very well choosen and quite interesting. I easily calculated I will spend the next few days to read them all, not just skim them. Great job, Bloombergians!
There is also another Wendover one explaining the economics or airlines classes and it talks about specifically why supersonic flights went into oblivion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzB5xtGGsTc
I think the price difference between 200k and 5k might be the very difference of a quick suborbital trip and the vomit comet. I will wait for better economics :-)
I sort of had a did.txt for 3 years, updated quite often during my working hours (at least once a day, if I were super busy, to dump all my daily activities and notes). It was quite useful for standup meetings and such. It is a pretty gigantic did.txt now, and in 3 years can you guess how many times I needed the info sitting there? Zero... go figure :-(
I did one about 10 years ago, and let me share a funny story. The head of HR was sitting next to me and right after the psychometric test she gave me a blank sheet of paper and told me to draw a human being. I promptly asked (without even considering my question, I was ready to ask the person's gender right next, looking for requirements): with clothes on or naked? She laughed so hard that I thought I had failed and laughed at it too. I got the job, though.
If you feel like that constantly and it doesn't matter which side-project it is, you should consider that you may be going through a burnout. Only a long time away from the offending activities might restore your energy to do them again.
