A "Why Pure?" section would be useful. The symbolic manipulation part is something I haven't encountered in other mainstream languages (at the level of the language). It's equivalent to Python's SymPy, right?

Yeah. Another way I would put it is to also look at inputs that strayed off the happy path. There may be something to learn from them as well, maybe something that adjusts the happy path.

The caveat to this is to make sure hope doesn't turn into expectation. Expectation can turn into sourness when the others don't reciprocate. Also, some people feel when you do something just because you expect something in exchang

Finetune means to do extra training on the model with your own dataset, for example to teach it to produce images in a certain style.

Does each address show the amount transferred? If it doesn't, with my current knowledge of how things work, I would maybe assume the second address is used for a commission. Depending on what funds I would be transferring, maybe I woul

Just a guess, but understanding how LLMs are built may also help you if you want to fine-tune a model. Someone who knows more may confirm or contradict this.

I have a feeling this language will be more familiar to programmers who think functionally. I say this because it seems to consist of transformations applied to data and of `derive`, which defines new variables later used in other transform

As far as I'm aware, the Unison Language implements some of his ideas: https://www.unison-lang.org

I had a similar experience while trying to use Zed with Python. I expected there to be a setup or at least to be told what to install like VSCode does. Since neither of those things happened I left it for now and returned to vim.

Thank you for making me aware of this author. I see he has several books on topics I find valuable.

Thank you!

| The thing I found comforting was reading stories and listening to podcast interviews with other founders where they talked about how many failures they had before they landed on the right business. Can you recommend some?

I have a feeling a lot of the lessons you learned could also apply to developers who want to be better at freelancing (my case). But I don't know if there is a way to pass down that knowledge while you also get something out of it. For

I thought this would be about actually remixing the song. That would have been cool.

The fact that Apple controls the entire stack means that they can provide better guarantees for security and experience and also make optimisations that are difficult or impossible when integrating 3rd party software.
227.
by elbear 3y ago
My understanding is that Apple can provide security guarantees only for their own browser, because it's tightly integrated with the rest of their stack.

This is the book that got me started with programming, so I'm grateful to Allen for it.

Yeah, the first one sounds good.

I believe the benefit to Tai Chi is that you're more in motion. With Yoga you are more static. If you are static in a position where your muscles are contracted, it's hard to relax. With Tai Chi you are doing movements which contr

At the same time, if you can explain something by using analogies to real-world things, to systems most of us have an intuition for, then you can target many more people at the same time. It's true that this is harder, because you have

So ... not enjoyable? I have yet to try it, but I was thinking of giving it a shot after reading so many positive comments.

I had forgotten about this language. I think the Red language is a descendant.

Yeah, with Elm, when you handle an event, you either update the model (state) or you generate new events. You don't have this selector thing.

Ok, I can accept that. At the same time, my impression is that mathematicians always use single-letter variables. It's like either they're not clear who their audience is or they're afraid to get off the beaten path. If they&

by elbear 3y ago
Ok, that makes sense. Then maybe use single-letter variables for when working on something, and meaningful variable names for when publishing. Edit: I realise, like someone mentioned in another comment, that sometimes you also want to make

by elbear 3y ago
Someone in another comment mentioned a book called Probabilistic Robotics. I think that covers everything.
238.
by elbear 3y ago
I disagree. Single letter variables are meaningless. In order to get the big picture, you have to remember what all those meaningless letters stand for. Using meaningful variables would make this easier.

Controversial opinion: Redux (and the Elm architecture behind it) only works with a typed language like TypeScript (or Elm) which takes away the error-prone part. With good type completion, some of the "pretty tedious" part goes a
