well this really takes me back to fiddling with FruityLoops in all my spare time in my teens. very fun, and I love the code

I think alcohol and tobacco use are primarily symptoms, not causes, of problems. They, along with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other addictions, are strongly correlated with ACE (adverse childhood experience) score. As smoking has become

if you use a library for Chinese/Japanese tokenization (which is harder because the lack of space), it seems like the rest of the code would work?

having the laity meditate at all is, AFAIK, a pretty modern development

Meditation is a pretty broad term encompassing many different activities/intentions (though they all look pretty similar from the outside). In the studies I’ve read on the adverse effects of meditation, the style has a major influence.

it's possible to do NLP at scale much better than they do. they just don't care

"deep state" meaning... information you didn't know already?

I don’t understand how someone can say “this is the worst software I use daily” and then you say “you are wrong.” Maybe you use worse software than them? Also, you seem to implicitly default to comparing each piece of software to others in

Not to nitpick, but wouldn’t Etherium Be the right cryptocurrency? I try to ignore it, but I remember that that’s the “smart contracts” one, so it could make the job contracts in such a way that if they are completed, payment is automatic o

They model a system which they know to be constrained by a closed-form equation called the Hamiltonian. They (cleverly, IMO) force the network’s predictions to be constrained by the Hamiltonian, by choosing the right output and loss functio

I think software engineering is depressingly, suboptimally stable. The space of all possible ways to write programs is so, so large and almost completely unexplored. Lisps, Hindley-Milner type systems, Cox, neural networks with autodifferen

He’s saying it’s not a problem for the future, because that implies it’s not a problem now, which he asserts that it is. It’s humor

Part of me wants to ask “but who investigates the Inspector of the LECC?” But I’ve dealt with Elixir and I know that supervision trees rarely need to be very deep in practice

I think this is a good observation. One thing I’ve been thinking about is probabilistically evaluating traditional software. Every un-caught exception, for example, is usually a false negative when evaluating “did the code correctly handle

First off, I totally agree. Not as easy as it should be to write an async web server in python. FastAPI is probably your best bet. I usually use Sanic. Easy to accidentally block though. That said, it sounds like you’re serving a large mode

Thanks! I hadn’t seen VAMPIRE! So stoked to see a new approach to topic modeling. SVD etc are very much a local max

Yeah, if the author of the parent comment is willing to put in work to get the understanding they claim to want, this is the way to go

This is a funny comment on HN, where it is very easy, for me at least, to be so far out of my element that I have no clue what is being discussed, such as any post about hardware!

I was on a large dose of gabapentin for anxiety for a few years. It felt similar to the flow of a beer, before the negative parts of the alcohol kicked in

Partake, a Canadian brewery, makes an IPA that is the best non-alcoholic beer. Because all the grain carbs are converted to alcohol, when they remove the alcohol hey remove almost all the calories too. I don’t know if I could have stopped m

I thought the latest studies hypothesized that there was a hidden variable - social interaction. Moderate drinkers were more likely to have consistent social interaction, which is strongly correlated with positive outcomes - enough to cance

For me, it’s weddings, holidays, and funerals. The proper way to celebrate those (this is culturally relative, and I’m talking about whatever sub-culture I come from in the US) involves alcohol. Which sometimes makes quitting alcohol feel l
