This search makes the same mistake I mentioned above - you think it finds a lot because you're sorting by "relevant" and sampling. Sort by newest and you'll see that the vast majority of these PR's are legitimate:

Sorting by relevance doesn't get you a representative sample - that bubbles PRs who say "amazing project" in the title to the top(which are indeed mostly spam). If you restrict it to "in:title", you see that there&#

I agree that the spam is problematic, but I feel the need to call out his "data collection". As evidence that CodeWithHarry is the cause, he says > A search for "Amazing Project" is now showing 21,177 issues. and >

If you read the article, they're complaining about the lack of free snacks because they're WORKING FROM HOME. To be honest, I suspect it's a joke question.

Certainly true. But far better than most "niche" languages.

The front end, yes. Some people are very unhappy about it, but other people think that there are 10x people interested in working in Rust vs OCaml. I don't know if they're planning on changing the rest of the compiler to Rust - wo

At least at Facebook, Rust usage is definitely not "snowflake projects". Last I heard, there's an entire team dedicated to Rust Developer Experience, and several pieces of extremely core Facebook infrastructure are now in Rus

Hanabi only has limited communication. Of course, it's a bit unfair, since a game like Diplomacy requires large amounts of verbal communication, but I think that's the kind of game that's difficult to solve.

Randomness is not an issue. AI can already play poker at superhuman levels. At this point, I'd say that AI can't really play collaborative games well, like Diplomacy. They also struggle in continuous games.

If you're not interested in Jax, you're not going to be interested in Objax. Objax is more for people who are interested in the features of Jax, but find it awkward to write code in it and prefer the API of PyTorch. I think the fe

The UC system is also race-blind. Correspondingly, you see 33% asian in UCs, and 43% asian at Caltech.

I don't think tmate allows you to edit text separately, right? It simply allows you to both control the screen. VSCode Live Share allows users to independently move. So, if you're pair programming and want to check something, you

I think that a lot of people find that LYAH makes you feel like you're learning, but have difficulty actually applying/using the concepts. This is compounded by the lack of exercises. I definitely agree with this review: https:

Wow. When I was a kid Mythbusters was one of the only TV shows I watched, and Grant was my favorite on the B team. It was one of the few shows really encouraging kids to do science. What a tragedy.

I think this is doing a massive disservice to Nintendo. Certainly, they have their "cash grab" franchises, like Pokemon, "New Super Mario Bros <x>", and arguably, Mario Kart/Mario Party. However, Nintendo has

The headline is somewhat misleading. If you read the top comment, you'll see that many other apps also were "caught in the act", including ones that most people would agree are innocuous. This by itself is not compelling evid

There's 2 cool things related to floating point error I learned recently. First, `x + x + x + x + x == 5 x`. This is true for values up to 5, but is not true for 6. Proving this is a fun exercise, but is a little bit painful and has a

Hackernews is quite random - stuff that gets no upvotes will sometimes get hundreds of upvotes the next time it's posted. That's why they explicitly allow some amount of reposting.

This is extremely impressive, but 1. It's a cherry picked demo (no paper has come out yet), and 2. This isn't really what I mean by "novel programming task". I'm thinking more in line the type of questions you might

Personally, as a ML researcher, I find GPT-3 very unsatisfying. There aren't any novel architectural details, it doesn't improve our "fundamental" understanding of the field, and it requires the type of computation I hav

Why is it "impossible"? Academic labs are non-profit, and they are also effectively trying "to compete" with DeepMind.

Not the same. sshfs is acceptable if you only want to do basic file editing, but is unusable if you want to say use language services or search in your directory. What you want is for basic text editing to run locally (to minimize latency)
