First you just extract all of the text from the PDFs. It's helpful to use arxiv instead, since it gives you latex. Then you can parse to separate content from style. Then store that in a a DuckDB database, with zstd compression since

Thanks, I hate it. This seems close to the territory of "why do I need a database? I just keep a bunch of text files with really long names that described exactly what I did to compute the file. They're all in various directorie

This seems very similar in principle to the perceptual neural hash that Apple created and uses to check every file on any Apple device. I recall that some people had an issue with that, because there is no guarantee what hashes will be add

It seems that pairing this with the original post, the best outcome is a single shell file, that takes a few arguments, such as device location (USB at /dev/sde) and username/password, etc, and compiles the bootloader, the ke

I didn't exactly intend it to operate precisely the same way that git does, but rather to have extensions of git that unify the system into one easy to use version control for data and code. In most projects today, the code is (or ge

The point is to have an easy way to distribute code as data . This is important for many areas, such as training neural networks (code with proper seeds can ensure the weights output by training), various applications in basic physics, da

Are you simply using it with GitHub repos? It mentions that it can be used with backends like Dropbox, but it would be wonderful if we finally had a system that could easily be used with IPFS. This is especially important for large d

There's a modern way of doing things now that's much simpler. Just use markdown, and then convert to PDF with pandoc. Oh, right, you want to be able to comment on it in a nice way, and not everyone in the group is super familiar

This looks neat. I noticed it has a scripting language built in, but how might one use already made scripts in another language? For example, if I already have a make_plot.py script, can I just call it instead of rewriting everything in th

Ads are even more unattractive, both intellectually and ethically. Yet somehow there's still a ridiculous amount of intellect being completely wasted on ads, likely due to the dull motivator called currency. I'm not sure what th

Perhaps that makes sense if you can't release anything with more substance due to regulation, but need to show you've done something to validate the company. Customers likely recognize a UI change over a bug fix, so bug fixes a

What happens when including numba or pytorch, etc in the scripts? GPU acceleration in python is one really nice way of getting decent speed, but I would imagine it's difficult to shuffle over when doing this type of compiling. If the

It's much more useful for agencies to backdoor hardware. If Intel chips, the snapdragon line, and AMD chips all have a backdoor allowing root, that's most of the devices out there that wouldn't need to have E2EE broken.

This tradeoff is ridiculous, even if it is "better" by .01% F score. I would much rather have a dataset created in 1 day from BERT at 98% F-score than 1000 years at 98.01% F-score from a 540B parameter model, or even a 33B parame

General models are useful to the general public, and they're useful as a starting point to find tune to a smaller model. The purpose matters. Research and most products benefit heavily from having a much smaller model (speed) to do

Many people in the field are physicists, and they consistently state that even if the performance is better than human, they will not use ML in the field, simply due to explainability. Physicists like having very explainable analytical equ

You describe the use case for vim, not notebook. Use vim and jupyterlab. It makes working on several projects much smoother.

Carbohydrates are necessary to live at some (albeit much lower than typically consumed) quantity, so it's not precisely poison. Your point stands in that as a society we typically consume too much on average however.

I think the main selling point for Unix-like OS, but in Rust, is focused on Rust. It's to ensure that the memory related errors are less likely, and hopefully with enough work, the system can be essentially what we have today, but wit
