Exactly. You download something from arxiv and the filename has no meaningful content in it. Generally speaking, you want the filename to be descriptive in some way, extracting the title of the document is a good start.

Is there a good ML tool for renaming PDFs? There are some tools out there but they assume a journal format.

It is interesting to note there are about as many Jews in the US as there are in Israel. There are about 7.6 million Jews in the United States [1]. There are about 8 million Jews in Israel [2]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w

I messed up my conda environments once when I changed my username. So many references to the old username in the conda folders. Ripgrep saved the day!

If there is a linear relationship between test score (X, ability) and test score self-assessment (Y, self-perception), then the random variables are modeled as: $$ Y \sim aX+b+N $$ Where N is some statistically independent noise, mean zero.

Exactly. How is this news? What would be surprising is if ChatGPT _could_ generate fake data that passed analysis.

This whole saga has helped me see how rumors grow. (And I know you used the word allegedly, but still.) First it was Ilya who was the ringleader. Now it is Adam. There has been a small amount of new information (Ilya seems to have backtrack

If this is the case, and Ilya is truly a non-political guy, I feel awful about how badly he was manipulated.

Oh yes, I lived through this and it was fascinating to see. Very rarely does the big boss get the support of the employees to the extent they are willing to strike. The issue was that Artie T. and his cousin Artie S. (confusingly they had t

In mathematics, there are whole books almost completely dedicated to problems you are supposed to work out. Or the prose is terse and dense, like Rudin's textbooks on real analysis. They are valuable books, but they aren't often r

Was Tolkien alive while LoTR was massively marketed? Hate to say it, but give 50 years, I wouldn't be surprised if Calvin and Hobbes turns into what you described.

How does this compare to nushell? I am in the market to learn something other than bash and right now nushell seems like the best candidate.

The GUI style choices turn me off to terminator. Silly reason. Maybe I should look at changing defaults.

I have a bunch of siblings, all of us homeschooled. Between all of us, some are more "socialized" than others. You can't leave out the individual in this discussion.

Very, very wrong. I know numerous homeschooled peers who have advanced degrees, including PhDs.

I was homeschooled K-12. Even 15 years ago, my parents would say that they were like general contractors for my education. And it is really is true. I had a mix of co-op, community college, online, self-study, and parent-guided study for al

The kind of comment really, really rubs me the wrong way. Your data isn't locked up in a format. Just use logseq or something if obsidian disappears. Those who write the code have the right to control its source code. They aren't
