I've heard that the so-called "yellowish" skin color that non-tanned East Asians tend to have, is due to relative abundance of subcutaneous fat. If that's true, is that captured by the haemoglobin dimension or is it a ye

I love the idea, and I developed something similar of myself in the past ( https://github.com/golddranks/kobuta ), but... this reeks of slop. With Rust code, edition="2021" is a dead giveaway.

It's very hard when you are overworked to a near-burnout state. I needed to quit to save myself.

I'm am not willing to wager my mental health for staying if I feel the current work environment would be detrimental for that.

Why aren't the role tags preprocessed algorithmically/deterministically and then fed in as one-hot-encoded vectors alongside the semantic word embeddings? I'd imagine that it would be easier to train to _stay_ in the role an

I am currently quitting a company of 10 years of employment. And I keep hearing how everything's shit. Btw. I'm located in Tokyo where it isn't as bad, apparently, but... Let's see. My plan: - Have my own company and sta

Indeed, I realized I had my timeline a bit off after posting that. Of course, we have Lisp ca. 1960. (Pascal appeared 1970, but I don't think that's widely considered memory-safe. ML 1973, and that never got a widespread industry

I disagree. I think that after 1992, we got memory safe languages that brought a meaningful improvement to the status quo. And after 2015, we've got low-level memory safe languages (Rust, as the major example. There are others, more ex

I think it was way too easy to guess corretly based on exluding obviously incorrect choises and then going with vibes. There were many words I couldn't have explain the meaning of at all, if I wouldn't have had the options, but ha

Little known, but a warm recommendation, both for the puzzles and atmosphere: The Swapper. (disclaimer: I did some coding work for this game)

This is interesting, as Ralf's articles always are. I wonder if/how will this concept be formalized. Rust is slowly but surely moving in good direction with regards to formal model of the language.

I applaud your goal! On the name "Respectify": it immediately reminded me of Linus Torvald's famous quote "respect should be earned". That quote, in its literal form, strikes a chord with me. While I share his senti

Fortunately only a few. Djikstra's is obviously the most reasonable system.

I can't get that demo to work. Tried with both Firefox and Chrome.

I'm not so sure if that's too wrong. Science works by scientist having a model of reality and then testing that model against reality, gathering evidence that fits or doesn't fit the model, evaluating how well the model corre

I don't love these kinds of throwaway comments without any substance, but... "It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It" ...might be my issue indeed. Trying to

Yeah, you're right, and the snark might be warranted. I should consider it the same as my stupid (but cute) robot vacuum cleaner that goes at random directions but gets the job done. The thing that differentiates LLM's from my stu

Just a supplementary fact: I'm in the beneficial position, against the AI, that in a case where it's hard to provide that automatic feedback loop, I can run and test the code at my discretion, whereas the AI model can't. Yet.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The article starts with: > you give it a simple task. You’re impressed. So you give it a large task. You’re even more impressed. That has _never_ been the story for me. I've tried, and I&#x27

It helps if you think that there are only three kinds of hands: - 25 fu hand (chiitoitsu) 16 / 32 / 64 - 30 fu hands: 10 / 20 / 39 / 58 - 40 fu hands (especially toitoi, but also some others with koutsu's) 13 &

Agreed! I've been playing both offline and in the web client Jantama / Mahjong Soul. Not too far from getting into the gold room. One of my New Year's resolutions for this year is that I try and go playing in a mahjong parlor

Where in the story does NLP (I guess you mean "Neurolinguistic programming" and not "Natural Language Processing") factor in?

It is implied in the beginning: he expects to die before the singularity because of a tendency of heart problems in their family.

Ah, totally agreed. At least there is a clear auditory / motor part in the tasks that seems quite separate. However, I find it also unlikely that the networks are totally separate, and I wonder if there are any evidence of areas that e

It's a Rust library (comprised of a bunch of crates) that wraps a high-performance, high-accuracy syntax highlighter (called Tree-sitter) with vetted support for almost 100 programming/markup languages. You can use it as a normal

I think it's obvious that she means that it's something _like_ LLMs in some aspects. You are correct in that rhythm and intonation are very important in parsing language. (And also an important cue when learning how to parse langu
