Yes there have been multiple papers showing information extraction from embedding vectors if you know the model used. SHA by design maps similar strings pseud-randomly. Embeddings by design map similar strings similarly.

There's an excellent documentary by Channel 5 (formerly All Gas No Brakes) where he tries to work with a group of homeless people in Las Vegas to get them papers and the process is extremely difficult. Like bordering on impossible. ht

What's the alternative? I don't use Google products and Apple maps shows Yelp reviews.

Yelp is one of the worst. So much so that I will do everything in my power to never download their app out of spite.

They were using the word 'critical' in a different way. They're saying students, authors, and philosophers were critical (pivotal, important) in many regime changes in the past. Even if you can't vote, you can organize p

Prophet is great and we use it for multiple models in production at work. Our industry has tons of weird holidays and seasonality and prophet handles that extremely well.

Reminds me of the proof that all natural numbers are interesting. If there is some set of uninteresting natural numbers, there must be a minimal element of that set. It being the smallest uninteresting number is interesting which is a contr

Except prison has some very key differences from living freely in another state or country. You cannot leave and so don't have a choice about where you work. Even if cost of living is low in prison, you often still have to pay for bein

As usual, we need laws preventing gross (in every sense) invasions of privacy. Building new apps that aren't evil still allows the evil ones to exist. Targeted advertising as a whole should be eradicated.

I had to write a normal codebase in R exactly one time and it was one of the weirdest and most unpleasant coding experiences I've had. After that, I decided R is tidyverse and a handful of stats libraries. If you need more, reach for

It's like p-hacking but with voting. Try enough tests/samples/whatever and eventually you'll get something that's "statisitically significant". Like the old xkcd comic: https://xkcd.com/882

I agree with you. I tried Scala for weeks and found it far too complex. Every line I wrote, I felt there were 5 different ways of doing it and I didn't know if I was choosing the right one. Scala tries to be too many things at once imo

I support the initiative, but it seems half the respondents are trolls (Debby does Dallas, USAID Fake news, etc), which make it all look very unserious. I would recommend some moderation or validation.

Most people joining unions are concerned about horrible working conditions and lack of basic respect and rights. The stock price should not be put above basic decency.

If your 1:1 is just status updates, that's not useful, I agree. It should be focused on things that only the manager can give you feedback on. Career growth, work feedback, training opportunities, budget for XYZ, etc. Things you want t

Same for the enterprise (non-tech I assume) world. When I was on the business side, we treasured any compute we could get that was not tied to corporate IT. Going through them would turn a 1 day fix into a 2 week endeavor. Product developme

I haven't read the paper, but sometimes asymptotic improvements do not translate to real world improvements due to a large multiplicative factor in the complexity that gets factored out in the O() analysis. So the dataset required to s
