It's either a lot less common than you're making it out to be or it should not have made international news. Anyone who followed this story from the beginning realized it was not a good deal for Wisconsinites.

I find Zelle super frustrating. I needed to transfer money from a local credit union to Citizen's bank because there isn't a Citizen's near me. Both support Zelle, except that you can only have one account set up in Zelle. So

It's not in line with what people want in the app though. It's like using a text editor that all of the sudden implements a wiki on gardening preinstalled in the app. It's not relevant to the features you want in a chat app a

I agree with the command discoverability. Not only does prefix+? show you the commands, it is also searchable, and if you use vi-mode, it uses the same search commands.

Just because it's ubiquitous doesn't mean that it's good. Also, to be clear, x86 then became x86_64/amd64 which isn't the same architecture either. There will always be iterations and oddball architectures where som

Boolean interactions are piecewise functions as well. He seems to be arguing to use functions for modeling and considering the whole process or interactions between the functions but has not described an actual approach to doing so in this

In my mind this comparison isn't exactly the right way of looking at it. Most of the early buyers who held on bought full shares of bitcoin before fractional shares were an option. The people buying it at 48,000 are likely buying fract

To be clear, you think that going out of your way to go on a self-righteous tirade against a guy because he's proud of his kid graduating college is on par with racism? You're being intentionally obtuse and it's readily appar

The argument wasn't strong in any way, in my opinion. The article itself limited the discussion by taking a demeanor that is effectively an attack on all college graduates because of anecdotal evidence misapplied as representative. The

The author comes across as someone who didn't try applying for college and hates everyone that did. The hypocrisy of the entitlement displayed in her first narrative definitely weakens the argument from the get-go. None of the points a

He was appointed by the Obama/Biden administration, so I'm quite ambivalent on the question. I feel like almost everyone in tech wants him to go but I may be just projecting my own bias.

In this false equivalence you're trying to make, did the people in the women's march come with zip ties to kidnap congressmen? Did they come to interfere with the electoral process? Did they steal? Were they violent?

You bring up the Democratic Party as if everyone who disagrees with you must always be a part of the exact opposition and you come across as a conspiracy theorist because of it. It really doesn't seem to be the world's most unsurp

It feels like the more aggressive the estimate is for the upper bound the less accurate it sounds, whether that's true or not. Somehow it just feels more believable that it's 2x instead of 10x without considering evidence either w

So you're saying everyone should always be staring at their webcam to make sure the light is not on? It isn't like there's a subfield of Human Factors studying Cognitive load[1], saying that people don't do a good job at

Agreed. Just because you don't compare your model to another model doesn't mean you're hiding something and it's irresponsible to pretend that's the case. Perhaps the author should have run char-cnn against data ins

At $20/mo in DigitalOcean services that are only required if you're running on a chromebook, why not just run on an inexpensive PC? It's seemingly long-term more expensive to do it this way.

This is an area that fades in and out of focus with such venues as the Workshop on Human Interpretability in Machine Learning (WHI) [1]. It's becoming increasingly important when it comes to auditability and understanding of what is ac

It doesn't matter that it's on the holdout, he's partitioning an already small dataset into 5 partitions and talking about the accuracy in using 80 points to predict 20 points. The whole argument is usually that in the law of

Not sure what kind of argument that is. If something overfits it will have less error, does that make it better? It may mean it would generalize a lot less when run on more data. Whether or not something is meaningful depends on what you ta

Define "meaningfully better." Perhaps you mean statistically significantly better? It may have better accuracy, but it has significantly less interpretability. What does it capture that regression couldn't capture? At least w
