I don't disagree, but I will also take debates about licensing over 30 separate "Looks cool! I've built something similar here: PLUGS PROJECT" comments.

For a long time now, Google has weighted behavioral signals similar to what you describe. "Bounce Rate" is the percentage of users who quickly leave your site after clicking. "Dwell Time" is the amount of time a user spe

I think in this situation, comparing housing to stocks isn't quite apples-to-apples. One of the appeals of owning a house is the money you no longer spend on rent.

...Did you read the article you linked to? The bulk of the article is dedicated to discussing why that number is misleading, and how it reflects our lack of data/transparency when it comes to policing, particularly when it comes to pol

I promise, if FB/other companies could automate this away, they 100% would. In general, it's easier for a computer vision system to recognize and filter a video that has already been banned--though, there is a constant arms race h

That "(according to the media)" bit of hand-waving is doing a lot of work.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Google's Smart Reply, along with most (I think all?) of Google autocomplete features, uses a neural network: https://research.google/pubs/pub45189/ Are

By and large, no. That's not to say that those sites are not generated programmatically--without a doubt, most of them are--but not by a cutting edge transformer model. The fact is, generating words has never been the bottleneck for bl

I think this gets at what the actual value prop (not the marketed one) of chatbots really is: scale. There will not, in the foreseeable future, be a model/ensemble/pipeline capable of conversing at the level of a human representat

Quanta is one of the most consistently high quality publications operating today, for my money. Their Joy of X podcast with Steven Strogatz is highly recommended for anyone interested in math.

As a funny (to me at least) piece of anecdata: I've never worked at a startup that wasn't either in the middle of or planning a UI redesign.

One of the other benefits of this kind of approach is that it allows the two sides to inform each other without hindering each other. Each function gets the proper space to "breathe" in a sense. For example (and this draws entirel

These kinds of notes never worked for me, but I've found the Feynman technique (inspired by Feynman) to be a very effective strategy for me that similarly derives its benefits from forcing me to synthesize and distill information. For

...they're also great? The parent comment was just that it would be cool to bring Hubble back eventually, and that Starship seems promising towards that end. It's not a diminishment of all other space-focused organizations.

I think this highlights the best path forward. Large-but-not-Manhattan cities should eliminate cars in the densest areas of their downtown, where it makes sense. Jersey City did this in their downtown area, and it seems to be going well. As

The "undo" functionality, in my experience, is not amazing because it provides an enhanced eraser. It's amazing because it allows you step backwards through your free-hand thoughts. As an example, I routinely use my tablet li

I had a similar setup at a previous job. Basically, the journey went like: 1. I already used VSCode as my daily driver. 2. Backend team all used IDEA for their Java codebase/had some workflows designed with it in mind. 3. I familiarize

I agree with this, but I think there's an additional point here. I'm from (I'm assuming based on context) a generation just past yours. I know many programmers older than me who had childhood experiences in which figuring out

I don't know of people dying from a belief that they were cursed, but we do certainly know that placebos can have very real, measurable neurobiological effects. For example, there many studies looking at the body's response to pla

It feels like people have been predicting the end of the "hype cycle" for the last decade. I agree that this particular application seems... questionable, to say the least, but finance is probably the last place where data scienti

It's literally the last section of the page, just before the citations, and it's only a few paragraphs + two tables to show the model's performance on industry standard benchmarks.

Also, complete anecdata on my part, but I've found developers who've gotten used to working on Macs find Pop OS to be a smooth transition. At least, in my circle of friends/coworkers.
