Yeah I found it funny that most of the linked sites had "Download the app from the google play store" at the top of their page.

Not having heard of something is always understandable, and it's pretty immature to make fun or "feign surprise" when someone doesn't know something you know. But not searching to see if something had been posted before

How do you identify "toxicity" vs just something you don't agree with. The other items in your list I can see a way to make a pretty clear judgement about, saying "that is toxic", not so sure.

I dont think that's quite fair, basic civility would mean not immediately trying to frame something you disagree with as denying basic rights, and trying to have a more practical discussion about the issues.

Is there something you can point to to make what you are saying more concrete? My hypothesis (that in NA centric but may apply globally) has two parts: 1. Evolution of startups from entrepreneurs with an idea to an extension of corporate r&

One thing I thought of when I saw the demo video, that is probably on the team's radar: There would be a lot of cool ways to improve the model by giving feedback, either showing training images where the model is uncertain, or some mor

Under project templates - coming soon they say it will work with tabular data. I expect, as they allude to, it will begin with simple classification tasks in order to stick with the clean user experience they've built. But I'm sup

I have used awk a lot on csv files. I basically agree with your comments, for me the use case is preliminary exploration, not really much more. There is also the issue of one liners not really ending themselves to good coding practice gener

I personally don't like packages that combine aggregation or other data processing with display. There is clearly a community that likes this paradigm (plotly is similar) but I favor doing the analysis and getting the view I want as a

What I've seen amongst businessy types (and I without evidence think that those with a humanities background may be more reasonable) is that there is something called "learning to code" that puts them on equal footing with pe

BASIC programming ironicly may return better results than if you search for something about a more mainstream current language e.g. python. I often find the first few results are some search engine spam... tutorialspoint or geeksforgeeks et

Atheism is a very strong stance. Consider that not everybody needs to think in such absolutes.

It will sound harsh but I have observed there is a political alignment that doesn't feel comfortable with people being exposed to information and allowed to make their own decisions, and believe that a learned class has to shield the c

One possible counterpoint- sample based explanation techniques can tell what training data was most influential in a ML model's prediction, and this has been considered in language models[0]. So you could argue that if there are traini

I can imagine building a model that is a derived work, but I don't see why all models trained on a corpus that contains some text can automatically be thought of as derived from that text in a creative sense. Models like GPT are using

I also use pandoc to generate CVs, happy to know I'm not alone :) I don't do anything as sophisticated as you, but my main resume is in markdown so I use it to create a .pdf or word doc and to apply .css styling where appropriate.

This is how I understood it was well. Big four partnership structure is optimized to comply with the legal requirements for auditors. That is why e.g. accenture (which has no auditing arm) can be publicly traded but the rest cannot.
