Im very much pro vaccine, but this seems crazy. This is the government telling private businesses that they cannot serve regular citizens unless they have undergone a medical procedure, which is not even fully FDA approved.

Here is a more to-the-point article. https://www.unionleader.com/news/crime/free-keene-leaders-ar... Feds allege it was a money laundering operation.

It is not a vaccine skeptical article.

As someone who works with PDFs a lot, please don't. PDFs are awful in every case except those which require a very precise visual layout. From reading the article, I do not see a single case in which PDF is superior to vanilla HTML.

This is exactly why tokenizers should provide offsets into the original text! The Spacy tokenizer provides this, though the original wordpiece tokenizer provided for BERT does not. It is relatively easy to add offset information to that t

I wonder how these numbers correlate to overall resignation numbers in all jobs since those seem to be going up too. I feel it’s part of the larger pattern of covid burnout.

But they evaluate on a test set while sweeping on a dev set, so there is no risk of overfitting to the test set.

I wanted to do something similar! I messaged my local library with a small proposal, but they never got back to me, very disappointing.

Seems nice in theory, though I'm immediately turned off by having to reach for special characters not on my keyboard.

Seems pretty misleading, since that’s only true of a dollar is a significant portion of your wealth…

In order to mitigate the second team winning because of fewer possibilities after guessing, the first team could plan to not guess any on the first round, and then use an 'infinity' hint on the second round.

I just tried this as it was really bad. Kept saying everything was a picture of the night sky, only one of many many descriptions was correct.

The CDC is not recommending that all establishments allow people without masks though, it is only saying that if everyone is vaccinated then it is safe. If there is no way to guarantee that all are vaccinated, then this does not translate

Is this effect a version of signal aliasing?

Should the same principle imply we should abolish the minimum wage?

I think as soon as you start looking at this as a spectrum question and not a binary question, this argument falls apart. Lets say console charges 30% to increase profit from -a% to +b% Lets say Apple charges 30% to increase profit from +x%

This is kind of silly. Neural networks are universal function approximators, meaning any function "is" (more accurately, "can be represented by") a neural network. In the DFT case, it is a linear function so we could g

This would have been useful for one of Jane Street's recent puzzles: https://www.janestreet.com/puzzles/tit-for-tat-index/ I ended up just grepping through a large dictionary instead.

Is there any source for that? I tried searching but the first result is this comment!

Consider three neurons all connected together. Now consider that each of them may have some 'voltage' anywhere between 0 and 1. Using three neurons you could describe boxes of different shapes in three dimensions. Add more and

This is fantastic, I actually independently gave my CS101 (for engineers) students some of the same questions last semester (temperature, definite integrals, game of life). Can't wait to try some of these out!

I think we can all agree the current Supreme Court system is broken. It is completely based on 1) during what term a judge happens to die in. 2) wether the party controlling the senate will grant the president his constitutional right to

I think the title is misleading. I do not see anything in the article confirming it was a cyber attack. Only media organizations claiming that it could be.

No, by definition it is not, because the person is still earning a salary.

This means find and replace descriptive with proscriptive. It is a pattern used by Vim and Sed, and probably some other programs.

I think the headline is fair. Would you have the same reaction to an article claiming smoking cigarettes hurts life expectancy? I don't think the argument that "life expectancy is up 30% since cigarettes were invented!" wou

Yes I agree. This seems to be a continuation of the trends described in “Bowling Alone”. The book argued in 2000 that television was a contributing factor. It is probably further worsened by the rise in online entertainment since.

I feel the title is a bit baity. Most people would take 'being wrong about a social issue' as being on the wrong side though most of these are just about the order of the effect.
