How is it obvious you're a man, other than that you just explicitly said so in your comment? It's not mentioned in your HN bio, and it's not obvious from your username. It seems like you view this as a political partisan issu

This new book is really good. I don't know why he went with Packt, who do have a lot of low quality titles - but this one is not low quality.

I've worked very closely with Chris a number of times and had a wonderful experience every time. I also saw how he looked after the people in his team and how much they repected him. (Part of sticking up for his team means pushing back

No it's not PERL, it's either Perl or perl, depending on what you're refering to. https://wiki.c2.com/?PerlIsNotAnAcronym I've been using Perl and Python for over 20 years. Both are delightful, in their

I just tried that CSV in Excel for Windows and it gave two warnings about it being insecure, had the disabled button default each time, and even 'enable' each time it still didn't run that cell.

Thanks to a higher CADR, it can actually be better than HEPA in practice, if you use 4 filters to create a corsi-rosenthal box, as shown here: https://www.texairfilters.com/its-all-about-the-air-flow-thr...

Jeremy here. Yup I'm not just OK with the name and project, I'm thrilled with it! :) The Julia community is doing a fantastic job with this and I'm excited to see where it goes. Something else to watch: Julia's brand-new

I'm actually most interested in language models that are fine tuned for other purposes, such as classification. IMO that's where the biggest immediate opportunities are. I've seen them used quite widely in industry, such as f

No, it's done on the server side, so it doesn't use any more resources than regular autocomplete AFAICT.

Hi all, Jeremy Howard here, author of the article. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about language models and program synthesis, Copilot, etc.

Thanks for mentioning nbdev (which as mentioned works well with DeepNote). FYI, the blog post you linked to is a bit out of date - we have something much better for blogging with jupyter notebooks nowadays, which is fastpages: https:/

I'm one of the developers of ghtop (along with Nat Friedman, who made the original version, and Hamel Husain), which, as mentioned in the post, kinda inspired this new direction for Rich. You can see screenshots of what we made here:

That's pretty much what https://www.modulo.app/ provides. Small groups online (1-5 kids) with each kid doing apps/videos at their own pace, and getting help from the tutor as needed. Works great for our daughter.

It's certainly possible. Smalltalk is absolutely an important inspiration for nbdev, and that's a really great reference that you pointed out.

It works fine in lab too, although I prefer using notebooks on the whole. (I'm the lead author of nbdev).

I coined the term - and it turns out someone else did too, for something else. So be it. If someone else can think of a better term that's never been used before, then I'll happily use that instead. The earlier usage mentioned in

No that's not the reason - or at least, not for everyone. I created nbdev. I've been coding for over 30 years, and spent over 10 years using R and S-PLUS. I've used Delphi, Visual Studio, Emacs, vim, vscode, and many other ed

Very nice! One thing I noticed is that `}` (move-next-sibling) doesn't work if the next sibling isn't visible (i.e. if you're not showing the parent). I'd like `}` and `{` to work regardless of visibility.
