`pyarrow`'s `read_csv` function[0] has just four default arguments (defaulted to None): 3 option objets and one Memory Pool option. ``` pyarrow.csv.read_csv(input_file, read_options=None, parse_options=None, convert_options=None, Memor

This has been my experience too. The transactional vs familiar thing is a tradeoff IMHO and people will have different preferences. Also: I'd like to ask you a few questions on Latam remote work. My email is in my About if you have the

I've talked about this topic with many people and it seldom matches the opinions of many people here in hacker news. I wonder if hacker news is biased towards a specific type of people that is less social / more family oriented &#

Are you saying that the US does believe in a rules-based international system? Let's count the number of countries the USA has invaded vs China...and the government topples with the help of the USA vs China

From your point of view, I can see how China is bad and the USA is good. But ask someone whose country got invaded by the USA or whose bloody dictator got supported by the USA. Over here in Latinamerica we still remember the horrible things

You're right, that's the core mechanims of GANs. The current state of the art models aren't using a GAN structure, but it's plausible that they achieve state of the art numbers in the future

Text generating models are so much more than spell checkers, but allow me to make a comparison . Before spell checkers, having good spelling was relatively difficult and it allowed employers/teachers/etc to separate the "good

I think keeping an embargo and hurting a country for 60 years is enough to send a signal. In any case, the US government isn't doing it motivated by some intertemporal consistency (and thinking of the next 200 years of foreign policy),

It's funny that you mention poetry. With poetry I do like to feel the sound of words. I very much like Emily Dickinson, why? (What's your favorite piece of poetry?)

This is your opinion. Many experts (the majority right now?) do see the beginning of general intelligence and I would urge you to at least entertain the possibility that those experts are right. (Also, general intelligence is not usually sy

My experience with academics is that most don't know / don't understand the benefits of coding things in a better way, so they don't even consider hiring someone to help. The other issue is that the incentives aren'

I don't think you're being charitable enough. GP point is actually thought-provoking (at least to me): doing it for humans doesn't make sense. Does it make sense to do it for AI? The more advanced the AI, the less sense it ma

I read without hearing the words. If I'm tired, however, sometimes I need to start reading out loud to keep concentrated. Also, non phonetic writing systems will push you towards not hearing while reading. For example, when I read chin

The map is a just a joke...the whole point is that there are so few countries that have this format that it looks silly to represent this information with a map. Adding the ~2 other countries (Liberia + 0.5 Canada + 0.5 Philippines) would b

Please reflect on whether you're being unreasonable and too emotional on this response (i.e. you're not considering the evidence that is given and you're not giving evidence of your own). This is why you're getting downv

Agreed. I don't want either (in general, there might be exception s). I obviously want to hold people (the people that actually have the kiddie porn, that are actually posting the hate speech) accountably for kiddie porn, inciting terr

I don't think you're using the principle of charity here ("make the best interpretation of a post"). The person isn't complain, he/she is just saying that people will probably return to v1 unless v2 has somethi

I don't know about your corner in Canada, but that "there was nothing here 150 years ago" is a dangerous lie told by people in many parts of the USA and Canada that minimized the indigenous people and occupied their land. You

Is this a play on words? At least how I understand the word, "whitewash" doesn't have a racial reference. The countries that need a whitewash are the ones that have really bad human rights abuse (or, in this case, a country t

Good. This is by far the world cup I've been less excited about, both because it counts as whitewash for the Qatar government and for how corrupt FIFA is.

Thanks for sharing. My belief is that we need to figure out a way to make humans interact with prediction models in a virtuous way. Prediction models suck at "connecting the dots" or considering multiple sources of information (fo
