Great work.

Cool! These are indeed very common graph-building steps. Thinking outloud here, but some of these were supposed to be solved with RML ( https://rml.io/ ) for the RDF paradigm. I witnessed a bit of their evolution: it started

Been building several of these functionalities myself for a while... Happy to know someone more skilled did it also and released it publicly.

Somewhere in HN there's a post about disrupting or revolutionizing the laundromat industry, where some person is showered in praise (and later money) for setting up this lousy system. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

In countries communicating in non-English languages which are written in the latin script, there is a very large use of Latin-1. Even when Latin-1 is "phased out", there are tons and tons of documents and databases encoded in Lati

This article contains an excellent description of the work of a mathematician. It should be part of any curriculum in the field.

Thanks for the replication, this is important. One question, did you try to replicate the other result table (Table 3)? If I understand correctly, top-2 accuracy would be 1 if you have only 2 classes, but it will differ from "normal&qu

Re modules/libraries: I meant it is not easy to write a piece of SQL code, and then import it into several queries to reuse it, or lend it to someone else for use on their on schema. It is possible, yes, but seldom done, because it is

Just don't. SQL: - does not allow for easy and clean importing of modules/libraries - is not easily to write tests for - has limited support for a debugger - lacks a consistent style for such large queries (plus most textbook cove

Yes, but not in the form of chatbots. Among other things, a LLM can be seen as a store which you query and get results from. A chatbot is cute because it formats output text to look like conversation, and the recent applications are nice be

This is bad advice for a couple of reasons: 1. It is expensive. 2. It moves complexity away from you and onto your providers, so it doesn't really solve the problem, only hides it from you (at a price). 3. The overall cost (energy, per

Great initiative, hope this takes off :) Just FYI, The largest, most-used knowledge graphs in the world (Google and LinkedIn) are not running on RDF4J or any RDF Triplestore, but on their proprietary graph stores, which also use Datalog as

What is tailscale? I don't like the world where every time someone launches a feature on their product they get to top of HN by calling it "generally available".

Application process seems pretty nice. The questions posed for the data science positions suggest a very strong graph-theoretic team is in place. They are looking for top-notch mathematicians, not boot-camp data scientists at all. Do be awa

Could someone please explain to me how this is going to prevent "fraud"? Is every buyer of a whole wheel of cheese expected to have a reader for these tags? I feel sorry for the poor bastard who bought into the buzzword soup of th

Let us concede that in the last 20 years, the number of mentions of "I" in his writing has decreased, and there are more mentions of "We". As much as a cellular automata, and computation in general, fan as I am, and afte

Just be ethical about it. If you are a tourist in the global south, and you negotiate down the price of some craft/souvenir/whatever you are buying on the side of the road, you will be able to buy an extra cup of coffee back home,

The original comment still makes sense: none of the fees paid to access the final document go to the original authors. To add insult to injury, some of those "employers" actually pay further fees to standardization bodies.

I always had the vague impression that the original purpose of linters was for some arrogant ahole to impose his "style" on other people. Now I have confirmed this impression.

This is a great example of a startup that solves an actual, pre-existing problem. Looking forward to your expansion.

Just dropping this here https://www.w3.org/TR/shacl/ Shacl is a language for defining constraints on data. While it is focused on RDF data, it is also possible to use with JSON/CSV data using an RML mapper (

One very basic prerequisite for the approach (vaguely) outlined in the link, is to have machine-readable contracts/law/etc. We can debate hours what machine-readable means, but definitely text in varying fonts and layouts IN AN IM

This very dubious text is a good example of why scientists need to go through some basic training, and articles need to be reviewed (even by your officemate!) before going online.
