The radial basis function is a mathematical function that takes a real-valued input and outputs a real-valued output based on the distance between the input value projected in space from an imaginary fixed point placed elsewhere.

Radial Basis Functions: Types, Advantages, and Use Cases

When Meta announced that it had paid a stunning $400 million for Giphy, the true reasons weren't immediately apparent. However, the firm claims that it was done solely to “make it easier for people to find the perfect GIFs and stickers.”

Broken Windows Theory in Software Development: Why Details Matter

I Used GPT-3 to Build an App that Writes Stories for Children On Demand

I love this idea for an app. You could also pair it with GANs for image generation in the future and create full blown kids picture books. There is a huge market for that: <https://www.wonderbly.com/>

Interesting so that classifier will flag swear words or just anything inappropriate like violent words or weapons etc. ?

Super interesting ! How do you guarantee that GPT-3 won’t return violent, scary, or any other stories that aren’t appropriate for kids?

Can ChatGPT Revive Twitter?

I think ChatGPT is going to disrupt any industry that uses bots. Social media has tons of them, Twitter not excluded of course. 

NFTs Don't Work The Way You Might Think: Misconceptions About NFTs

I think you’re a good writer Anndy and agree that NFTs are not dead but your argument is not strong enough. In the article above you just mention the fact that people are willing to buy Trump NFTs as proof they are not dead. That’s not good enough. Trump could easily sell 45,000 bumper stickers. It doesn’t mean that bumper stickers are a good investment. Know what I mean? You should probably expound on other reasons why NFTs aren’t dead to strengthen the argument.

Is Crypto a Missing Link in The Path Toward Star Trek's Moneyless Future?

Could you argue @nesha that Star Trek’s moneyless future is partly due to the fact that society has evolved enough to fund intergalactic space travel, and thus they probably aren’t doing too bad on earth regarding fulfilling the basic living needs of the citizens? It’s easy to think about a moneyless future when no one is starving

Why Targeting Single-Word Keywords Doesn't Work for Evergreen Content

One reason might be ads: people can bid on your brand name on Google which is crazy IMO. For example, right now when I search “brex” the first result is an ad for Mercury

Tokyo Game Show 2022 is More Than Just a Video Game Convention

You’re too kind man! Looking forward to your next gaming story too. You should do a retrospective on CS 1.6

Great question! Personally, I haven’t seen it. But I think some companies or marketplaces are just slower to adjust for the inflation and currency rate changes. I also shop used game stores so that factors into the equation. But for example, a BRAND NEW Mario Edition Switch on Amazon Japan right now is 42000 yen which is $293 USD. The same console is $379 on the US Amazon store.

How Do Comments Work on HackerNoon?

I’m most excited about how this will strengthen engagement around stories that were created to start a debate, especially slogging stories like this one: <https://hackernoon.com/is-social-media-doing-more-harm-than-good-zt68333x>

As someone who has been working with the dev who shipped this feature, there is a lot of thought that goes into something that seems as simple as a commenting feature: should all comments be auto-approved? If not, who should approve them? What kind of profanity should we censor? All of these questions and 100 more are asked and debated throughout the development and shipping of such a feature

Also, while this is true “I guess when it comes to Web3, the issue is that each person is responsible for ensuring their safety online“ I still think there must be strong onus on companies to provide as much security as they can.
