That’s basically why dictatorships are so hard to overthrow. In real life the game is slightly different, if you choose red (don’t protest) you get a negative outcome. But if you choose blue (protest) you risk being jailed (a very negative

I agree with you. In B2B SaaS you don't sell the software, you sell your expertise in a specific domain and the responsability you take for owning that expertise. The fact that the development costs are nearly zero will make them more

I had a C64 and learned programming on it. I guess it's a question of destiny at this point :)

First of all, great job! I think the inference will become more and more important. That being said, I have a question regarding the ease of use. How difficult it is for someone with python/c++ background to get used to zig and (re)wri

On a side note, if you are running something for days or weeks you should implement checkpointing anyways. I have no idea if matlab allows that for internal operations

These CRUD apps need complex business rules, requiring expertise in the domain and making them configurable on the application level for customer while trying to keep the app not bloated. Scaling is not the only challenge engineers face, bu

To be accurate, IE was not hated by "end-users". It was hated by web developers (understandably) reluctant to support non-standard apis and by informed people.

Realistically, with the title you suggest nobody would have read the post. A title is not "the most informative and complete sentence summarizing the article", it also has the goal to stimulate curiosity. I understand that we don&

I hope the magic of HN will bring one of the men in the photo to intervene here.

I don't get it. An open-source project don't need users? Sure someone could publish a work for the sole goal of publishing it, but most of the time you make something public for a reason (financial or not). In fact, like the other

argument by authority? He also said pytorch was just a hype. It looks like he just doesn't like things he didn't do himself.

I am curious what makes the author think that expert reviews are free of any incentives for abusing their influence. Also, if you ever built anything useful in your life, you should know that it's not possible to count solely on word-o

This is one of the examples we keep in mind and that's also why we can't 100% trust public dataset labels. This motivated us to train a Language IDentification system for all the languages we wanted to handle in order to build the

hi @btheshoe, I work on this project in the data part. As others mentioned, the amount of data available for a language is not correlated to the number of speakers of that language, which explains the potential impact of focusing on these.

in this work we tried to rely not only on automated evaluation scores but also on human evaluation for exactly this reason: we wanted to have a better understanding of how our model actually performs and how it correlates to automated score

This is 100% Google's responsability. If you claim to have a feature but it is broken it's your fault, you should just not claim that you can actually do this. The restaurant guys provide exactly what they want: a pdf menu, if goo

In my opinion Tesla has the largest part of the fault here. You can say "yeah we all know Elon Musk is lying and that is not a real auto-pilot", but I am having hard time to understand why the responsability of a blatantly lying c

that's really weird. It looks like the author wrote it with a more powerful system then partly disassembled it. In my opinion this hurts the narrative of this otherwise cool project/article.

This, I suppose, is implicit in the word "boring". I think the premise is: People could follow boring advice to become successful but they don't, precisely because it's boring. Regardless the definition of success, we t

On my TO-DO project list, there is "BASIC compiler/interpreter for raspberry(-like) computers". I am nostalgic of Commodore64 too. The thing that made many of us go down the rabbit hole was the immediacy of the interpreter, b
