Pretty much this. I actually find this more annoying than the way it writes, but that is also annoying as well.

I am also wondering the same thing as OP. Somewhat tangential thought, but I recently realised that what I would really love in an IDE is a "first class" Markdown editing experience, just because most of my day-to-day is managing

This may be of use to you, I wrote a similar reply earlier in the thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49486172#49491426

I was looking at CLI-only solutions a while ago and the best thing I found was to use something like revdiff: https://github.com/umputun/revdiff For instance, in Claude Code you can have it bring up this TUI overlay af

Interesting to see someone else is in the same boat as I am. Regarding editor review I agree, surely the solution would be to `git diff` at the end, but if you only want to git diff what was literally just changed by the agent it means you&

I'm not sure if this is directly mentioned in the paper, but I didn't see any mention specifically about the conflation between a validation set and test set. When people actually make a distinction between the two (which is see

Your description of tanh isn't even correct, it squashes a real number to `(-1, 1)`, not "less than one". You're curious about whether there is gain in parameterising activation functions and learning them instead, or ra

Learnable parameters on activations do exist, look up parametric activation functions.

How was that person derailing the convo? Nothing says an activation function has to "squash" a number to be in some range. Leaky ReLUs for instance do `f(x) = x if x > 0 else ax` (for some coefficient `a != 0`), that doesn&#x27

ACE 7, recently got my PhD in ML and am doing reasonably well, at least from an 'objective' lens (I have a well paying job and bought my first condo recently). My mind is still chaotic as ever (I have a mix of OCD / Tourettes

I wish I had the ability to toggle PiP for any open window, while I am in full screen mode. For instance, I have both Chrome and Emacs side by side full screen and I can use a hotkey to drop down my iTerm window over both of them. (Basica

http://beckham.nz/blog Mostly theoretical-ish deep learning stuff as of late (I'm a PhD candidate in that field). But I want to expand it into really anything: psychology, dating, video game reviews, etc.

A relevant quote here seems to be: "if a measure becomes a target, it ceases to become a good measure". Also true of academia in general because of the obsession with citations.

Not to be confused with open source ML toolkit WEKA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weka_(machine_learning) Huh, that's funny, I guess which one came first?

Nice work! Is it possible to somehow switch to a tab somehow using this? (Use case: switching browser tabs within Emacs). Thanks
