> Bloomberg LP is essentially a revenue generating arm for Bloomberg Philanthropies with >80% of revenue getting donated. is there somewhere i can read more about this specifically?

i suspect that maybe there's been a mental health push in recent years with the onset of the pandemic and doctors are simply making notes of these events in the emr without any thought that it would show up on a billing statement. how

amusingly this would also occur with writes as well. there was some hueristic in there that tried to prevent it, but it wasn't very good.

i'm not 100% on this, but i seem to have foggy memories of seeing it used in bizarre ways like this by scripts written to be ultraportable (output of early versions of autotools maybe?).

yeah i've considered something like this. "send a screenshot to my phone of the terminal when activity has stopped for at least x minutes." tmux has some facility for this now (although i think there's some weird limitat

litestream looks super solid. would definitely consider it for a new project, if appropriate.

if a human participates in interactive gamified social media, and this participation begins to change, shape, reinforce or otherwise mutate their beliefs, for the purposes of the test are they still actually a human? could the entire social

that is less interesting to me personally as that's often handled locally. (most sites with many projects will have some sort of locally customized project boilerplate or template to start with). i'm more interested in tooling th

super cool! have long been interested in tooling for making code archaeology easier! any plans for building extensions for various issue/work tracking systems, wikis, email archives, etc? i've longed for comprehensive views acro

i've always thought it would be interesting to create a quarterly token system for meetings where meetings cost tokens depending on number of attendees (where ics are "expensive") and the ideal effect is that some level of co

lol. been saying this since 2007. although wifi works pretty well in professional installs these days and bluetooth earbuds were a godsend with masks. bluetooth connections are still unacceptably flakey though... even with top shelf name b

yeah. maybe parental controls so parents know who their kids are talking to paired with good old fashioned undercover detective work might be a preferable approach to eastern bloc style listening posts. if you want to get fancy, maybe build

lol! step 2: features for training a language model on the request and response variables in the mitm stream and a shim for standing up a fully ml data driven zero code mock backend.

lol. i wonder if it's quietly popping the nic out of the associated state, quickly scanning for aps and then jumping back where it left off without telling userland or the remote ap that anything happened...

seems like maybe a better approach might be to require software developers to give parents/guardians features that allow a comprehensive view into the online activities of their children. although unclear, that creates more visibility

i'm pretty sure the method mentioned in the article finds single topic assignments where LDA finds mixtures of topics. hierarchical in LDA refers to the stacked multinomial nature of the model over word counts, documents and topics. hi

when you look at all the reserved blocks, that's not a lot of usable address space. the internet says there are roughly 5k commercial aircraft in the air above the us during peak times. i get that these are regionally allocated, but st

wait, what? they taught children pedagogically about how not to be manipulated or controlled in a general sense? what an incredibly enlightened idea! was it any good? did it work?

rather than playing all these games later trying to catch and track it, i can't help but wonder if it could be better halted by training kids early on when and how to get help to stop it before it's produced. otherwise it seems it

if TFA means "the forememtioned article", i don't think so. i'm not convinced that the clusters found and the frequencies in those clusters would be the same as what LDA computes with gibbs sampling or the variational ca

by a-dub 4y ago
would it make sense to preprocess with a transformer style model to produce per document semantic vectors which can then be piped into LDA to find topic mixtures of those vectors?

would be funny if someone wrote a comedy winfsp driver that exposed the registry as a gigantic win.ini file.

if you can tolerate eventual consistency and have the disk/ram on the application vms, then sure, keeping the data and the indices close to the code has the added benefit of keeping request latency down. downside of course is the compl

i've done this with mosh in past which gets you part of the way there. problem is that it then doesn't work for local sessions. so you run it locally, which gives you local sessions and window management, but then all remote conne

tmux sessions are incredibly useful for keeping multiple projects organized. i just wish i could connect to remote tmux back ends and recover windows as organized locally after a network cut. so the local tmux presents the ui and performs s
