Just registering my disagreement with this position. I think the author is right, most people are going to look at the difference between this license and true FOSS and say "whatever".

I have used Gremlex (Gremlin in Elixir) for querying a DB that supports Gremlin (Neptune) and found it really pleasant. https://github.com/Revmaker/gremlex

To run with this, I assume your potential customers aren't looking explicitly for "VR training". They're probably looking for "training that takes less time and/or increases $success_metric" - can you take

I wanted this article to convince me, but they really don't acknowledge the reason that everyone currently uses Python - the libraries. Do linear algebra using lightly wrapped C? numpy. What about NLP? spaCy. Implicitly specify a compu

When I was doing cosmology, the scales we were talking about were absurd - "model this galaxy cluster as a point" scales. So it seems conceivable to me that enough GEODEs, well-distributed, could look uniform on this scale.

I think most recommendation algorithms rely too much on collaborative filtering and not enough on content based filtering.

When I open source code, I use MIT. I have introduced open source strategies at places I work, and guided teams through the process. Ok now that I've established my OSS cred: I'd be really interested in a license that is effective

One time we put these rules in a graph database. It worked better than hard-coding and a rules engine.

Required reading on the subject: https://erikbern.com/2018/05/02/interviewing-is-a-noisy-pred... I realize that there are problems with it, but I'm a huge fan of take-home problems that are similar to re

Raising children is the primary function of society. Someone going beyond their means in order to raise more, harder to raise children should be celebrated. That we would see any fault is damning evidence that our society is malfunctioning.

Having been through the same, I'm of the opposite opinion. We're just computers made of meat. Some of us weren't optimized to function in society. Any help that works, chemical or not, is welcome.

Have you seen TPOT [0]? AutoML library that uses genetic algorithms to write scikit code for you. So fun. [0] https://github.com/EpistasisLab/tpot

Well... Time to change careers. A "sex" and "travel" blog called "exploregasm" needs to exist.

Good point, timecard-tracking software and general purpose differentiable computing languages are roughly the same level of complexity.

This is true, but rapidly changing. In addition to fine tuneable language models, you can do deep feature extraction with something like bert-as-service [0] ... You can even fine tune Bert on your days, then use the fine tuned model as a fe

This should be completely backend agnostic. I was never a Django person, but you’d just put that script tag in your main template so it loads on every page.

The hard part is that after the convolutions you want a fully connected layer or two, and to get those dimensions right you need to know the input dimensions. But, pytorch is building the graph at runtime, so maybe you could do this...

IME, the naive solution to hierarchical classification - building a classifier for each level of the hierarchy - gets me to ~85% accuracy, compared to ~75% accuracy using a "global" classifier.

The post mentions not getting great results with OpenAI Transformer. I haven't tried that, but using a similar framework, ULM-FiT, I narrowly beat the fasttext benchmark on a 250-class dataset we use internally. I will follow up with h

But overall it _did_ capture most of the structure. Other than a few adjectives, everything it required was real, and most of the combinations were exotic but good. However, thanks for sharing the Kazama paper, that looks really interesting

Someone already mentioned Luna Lang. Another similar project that is further along is isomorf. You get projections into 6 or so syntaxes, and deployment to AWS Lambda. https://isomorf.io/#!/syntax-picker/tours-idea

Did you look at Up by Apex for inspiration? Very similar framework, but for Lambda languages, any language that compiles to a binary, or Crystal: https://up.docs.apex.sh/

As someone with degrees is math and physics, I used to think this. I don't anymore. I think that those fields offer many opportunities to examine and analyse ideas, and that is important.

Honestly, if the primary value proposition was "fuck your cable company, here's how to get internet without paying them" you could probably motivate some sales even if the price and service were the same.

This is a great deck... but leaving TLA+ out of Formal Methods? It is hands down the most important thing going on there. And it is a combo between academia and industry. Amazon uses it extensively.

Because when someone makes the argument that "ok now discrimination has gotten out of hand" it usually is implied "... Now that I'm the target!" Which would imply the author isn't used to being the target of di

I didn't say to ignore his "valid points." I intentionally didn't mention the content. I was trying to point out that, if, as you read the piece, you correctly inferred metadata about the author, (a) it's funny beca

Ok but... While reading that, did you at any point wonder the ethnicity, gender and approximate age of the author? Because I was less than surprised when I saw him at the end of the article.
