Browsing without JS is a major pain if you're enabling it for only certain domains. If you don't do that, you don't add much security anyway.

This is how random forests work. Each takes a different subset of features and builds a model. Then models are averaged for much better accuracy. Unfortunately, averaging seems to be the crudest mechanism for combining models and far from t

Maybe catch-up sleep doesn't work to fully repair the damage if you're totally wrecking your body during workdays, but it definitely helps if you're on the borderline. I usually sleep more on the weekends. If I don't, I

BTW, this is a combination of several goblets and an armor: https://imgur.com/a/JPslbIs It find it hilarious how many people who ought to know better claim that GANs do not rely on memorization of source data. Obvious

It's good to see someone building something easily explorable. If people had more access to experiments like this, there would be far less BS hype around deep learning, since the public would get some intuitive feel for what those netw

They send all your texts to their servers for analysis. I don't find that acceptable from privacy standpoint, even if I'm just writing publicly visible comments.

We have AI that supposedly can "compose" articles, but there are no open-source grammar-aware spellcheckers. I love modern technology. And yes, this is one of the projects on my 1000-item todo list.

Prolog is a great idea with one huge flaw that annoys me so much I don't want to use it even for side projects. It complected rule declarations and search algorithm hints. As for your comment about size, Prolog was designed in part to

There are tons of websites that allow you to stream and upload high-quality videos. In 2019 that's nothing special. The only thing YouTube has and none of the others do is a giant audience... which is built thanks to videos uploaded by

Will you stop using YouTube because of this? No. So Google doesn't loose anything and gains the ability to say they're "fighting toxicity". In reality, if they wanted to fix comments, they could easily do it without any

I don't know about governments, by at my last job the transition to cloud was driven mostly by: 1. The desire of some people to have AWS stuff on their resumes. 2. The optimistic belief that the same people who couldn't figure out

Very true. Modern web UIs have some good ideas and some bad ideas, but fundamentally they are designed for people browsing stuff and optimized for conversion and engagement. At work, people do work and you need to optimize for efficiency a

It's a mistake to think that just because something is written in 2019, it automatically benefits from the extra 40 years of collective experience. The collective has Korsakoff syndrome and aversion to history. To be fair, there are tw

Almost every week, I wish the framework I am working right now was written in Smalltalk 80 rather than Java.

C# has both semantic refactoring and REPL. It might look like Java, but it's a much better designed language. They are even fixing all the horrible crap that was dragging it down with .NET Core.

You're right, I should have said "still don't have on PC". I believe Xerox Star also had all those keys and then some. This might not seem like a big deal for some. But there are two important points to consider: 1. A lo

This has nothing to do with their core point. Yes, Java sucks. This doesn't prove that IDEs suck too. They make Java bearable. They can make editing simpler languages better as well.

What are the chances that teletype simulation is the best possible way to interact with computers? This is what command line emulates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIWZ_pbLYqQ Yes, this was way better than punch-cards.

Because there is a huge difference between generating C code by training on C code and generating PHP code by training on random internet articles.

BTW, I would like to point you to the MIT's project Genesis as an example of what a rule-based text comprehension system could do almost a decade ago.

So you're buying the idea that it looked at a bunch of code snippets embedded at various pages, managed to build a sub-model for PHP (separate from all other languages it should have encountered) and managed to generate a long, nearly

Why would a model trained on English texts see "a lot" of PHP code? What was the prompt used for generating this code?

This is very fishy. You can get code like this by substituting words in identifier names for other words, but how can an algorithm trained on English dataset "learn" that keywords like 'function' and 'class' ar

F# was one of the most frustrating languages I ever tried to learn. It sits in this uncanny valley between OCaml and C#. I've had many, many problems where I spent tons of time searching for idiomatic way of doing something only to fin

Physical work shouldn't break your body if you work within reasonable limits of exertion. Also, sitting all day does breaks your body.
