Nice. Now I'm curious, is there a list somewhere of other projects Google open sourced after abandoning?

I might just be biased by selective attention, but it seems like more and more of these are popping up lately. I feel like we will eventually recognize a variant of Greenspun's Tenth Rule as common wisdom: > Any sufficiently complic

This is common in the functional paradigm, although syntax and semantics varies in sometimes important ways among languages. There's a long-standing TC39 proposal to add it to JS. It's interesting to read it to see examples of the

What does this prove? If you have lots of data and dimensions, I bet you could just as likely find distributions that are roughly 50/50, 60/40, 90/10, 100/0 if you looked for them.

Maybe in the same sense that meth or krokodil are "disliked".

Sure, but I bet they don't have to watch all kinds of traumatizing events as they do it.

If you only send to space people whose dream already was to go to space, of course they're going to have a strong reaction when they do. That's like observing that Olympic athletes have strong reactions when they receive the gold

Good news, the link provided ticks all your boxes: - You didn't have to search for it - Someone's (Rich Hickey's) opinion - He has worked with Clojure - He has worked with another Lisp dialect

So you're telling me you don't run an ML text classification model on it like we all do here? The second easiest way is to read the comments before the post.
