This is due to utf-16, an unforgivable abomination.

Wait… are you betting on exponential or logarithmic returns?

It’s a real shame Dijkstra rubbed so many people the wrong way. Maybe his incisive polemic, which I greatly enjoy, was all but pandering to a certain elitist sensibility in the end. To make manageable programs, you have to trade off executi

These are all expository diagrams. Second-hand and auxiliary by nature. Diagrams can be authoritative, and the ones I’ve seen will break some or all of these rules because they represent natural heuristics that practitioners are expected to

Memoization is the word here. Can be done in different ways—- of which storing the stack frame is one.

Ah! That’s actually recursion again.

Yes indeed! Except you can also do no memoization, such as the goto statement!

I find the prevailing use of “recursion”, i.e. β-reduction all the way to ground terms, to be an impoverished sense of the term. By all means, you should be familiar with the evaluation semantics of your runtime environment. If you don’t kn

Ah yes, the taboo of sound reasoning.

These are very good questions that deserve unequivocal answers. Alas…

That’s neither here nor there. Everything can be statistically modelled but very few things are reasoning. Same with turing machines.

The killer feature isn’t even fully indexed queries for ever, it’s the serialization formats. Need to do a non-trivial merge of complex domain graphs? Why have you tried string concatenating turtle files?

Most vendors use three indexes for triples and 4 or 6 for quads. All the indexes are covering, which is to say they triplicate all data—-in other words the database consists only of indexes. Aint that just neat?

With the caveat that I was exactly wrong about the books de-listing, I feel you are making my point for me and retreating to a more pragmatic position about defaults. The (quite entertaining) saga of Nightshade tells a story about what is g

Listen, most website and book-authors want to be indexed by google. It brings potential audience their way, so most don’t make use of their _right_ to be de-listed. For these models, there is no plausible benefit to the original creators, a

Well then I could have been much clearer because I meant something like the latter. An ML model can neither have nor be in breach of copyright so any discussion about how it works, and how that relates to how people work or “learn” is besid

What did I write to give you that impression?

Oh come on, you’re being insincere. Wether or not the model is learning from the work just like people is hotly debated as if it would make a difference . Fair use is even brought up. Fair use! Even if it applied, these training sets colla

I’m completely flabbergasted by the number of comments implying copyright concepts such as “fair use” or “derivative work” apply to trained ML models. Copyright is for _people_, as are the entailing rights, responsibilities and exemptions.

If there is something new about EA it is, as a matter of public record, not the use of statistically rigorous cost-/benefit analysis. The hubris! Anyhow, I will admit that the (putative) indifference to specific causes, so long as they

I just really feel… you didn’t, like at all, read what I wrote, you know?

These are technicalities IMO. There is nothing else to EA than the current institutions, people and praxis. If they become unfashionable or dishonored their moment will pass. It’s not some special new kind of cause, it’s just charity with

The only reason a factory owner would admit to overloading the production line before selling his company is incompetence. This post is a public service for potential investors.

That would just depend on a whole host of specifics. Incidentally, the same specifics as for regular statistics as ML is also statistics, and is sensitive to experimental design and sampling just the same.

Full disclosure: I (too) designed this pedal. I’m the other guy in Fjord Fuzz (or Fjord Pedals whatev), here to take questions and accusations of flagrant misrepresentation.

Easy. You pay the juniors to study and take some busy dev leads out of their schedule to coach them. The trick is to find the most productive trade of time. Not too much obviously, but very likely not zero. Doing nothing is a big opportunit

The «air» is here an allegory for «large language corpus». It is self-evidently true that as we move backwards through history we eventually pass the first language utterance for any given definition of language or utterance. From here on o
