I always figured toothpaste for sensitive teeth contains local sedative.

Any toothpaste with menthol (pretty much all of them) contain a local sedative, it's just not addictive

However, European units of measurement before the metric system were a complete mess, the Italian units of measurement in particular.

Ironic how the author then gives the measurements in feet, after converting palmo to cm.

Thanks for reading! It is ironic, I agree.

Anything that's rare can be used as a token of value.

I've heard of at least one former prison being used for refugee housing.

Which is also mentioned in the article.

Did you try putting more structure (concentric outlines or a gradient or something) in the input image? Seems like style transfer would fall flat on a binary image.

Gradients in the source image tend to yield poor results. They often awkwardly reappear in the result, looking like an artifact doesn't fit with the style image at all.

Source images in a posterized style, with large flat surfaces in unified colors, tend to yield great results with few artifacts. With that in mind, I find the raw "21" logo to be a rather good source image. Two colors is minimalist, but it's a choice. I'm sure GP went for simplicity quite deliberately.

Definitely the original is good, too, and my example was a fun addition, not a replacement of the original logo :)

Still no continuity between video frames? Doesn't seem like it would be very difficult.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. The transition to "digital rails" will surely be gradual, but it will come.

Maybe the mandatory resting periods for drivers will be less strict when they're driving a self-driving truck.

Go read some classic scifi, PKD did the capitalist dystopia pretty well (and amusing) for example.

They just took the most obvious, silly things everyone predicts about the future and rendered them in the most simplistic, stylized ways.

Was unsuccessfully trying to articulate my gripe with this show but you hit the nail on the head. I think it also explains why I liked the first one best, while the talent show/advertising episode was just annoyingly silly.
