I thought that i++ ++i difference is related to the inner data structures of C++ iterators and that when using the former you need to keep 2 states compared to just one for that fraction of execution.

Lindy effect, stuff worth reading is stuff that has been filtered by time. Reading old books is worth it. New ones are hard to filter and many will turn out to be completely unnecessary. Leaves you on the sides of contemporary culture but a

The main thing about GPT-3 is that they wanted to demonstrate one-shot fine-tuning and succeeded at it. So the model can be transformed to output part-of-speech words, dependency grammar trees or named entities in input even if training dat

Just recently used xq to convert and clean up a bunch of weird xml files to JSON. It was such a breeze. I love how nested lists inside objects can expand into a particular one with the .[] operator. For example: { a: [{b: 5}, {b: 3}], c: 5}

€45,000 does sound a bit low. I lived on €40,000 (after taxes, rent was only 8-10% of the yearly income) in Croatia and lived like a king (travelling, restaurants, buying stuff without worrying about the price, massive amounts of good quali

Masai all have atherosclerotic plaque build up and it is also present in their children. Childhood with plaque forces various adaptations to blood vessels. They get wider and more elastic to counter the reduced blood flow and rigidity. Anyo

I got hooked on chess because of Lichess. The interface is well done and it's so easy to play. Something about it feels much better than chess.com. Unfortunately, I got heavily addicted and had to stop. Although, I had so much fun. I w

There's absolutely no way these oil wells are leaking as much methane as Siberian plain slowly melting. I did a calculation a while ago and it ended up being equivalent to 125 years of 2019 CO2 emissions. Once these natural stores of g

Fortunately, apples are not candy bar. The metabolic effects of eating 1kg of apples is completely different from eating glucose and fructose extracted from those 1kg of apples. Natural sugar is magnitudes times better than processed/a

At my previous employer we were using GA and it's very flexible. We were able to track all DOM interactions by just configuring the included js. Although, querying that later with tools engineers can use and build is a whole different

Hmm... 256M records is still not that much for postgres or mysql so it shouldn't be too much for kdb/q. Several gb of data also shouldn't be too much.

RBF kernel represents vectors of infinite dimension and that makes the dataset linearly separable. Increasing dimensions improves separability and going to infinity makes it always true. Representation is not infinite but is implicitly infi

I'm wondering if these tasks have a form of bias that decreases the performance. If the model sees only positive examples and no negatives then it is biased on the positive paths of decisions. The moment where one changes the path to b
