I'm a former quant trader as well and this article rang true to me. I've certainly found myself in situations where I developed a model that performed so well in its specific domain that executives wanted to roll it out to a a muc

Actually using this class (larger transformer based language models) of models to generate text is to me the least interesting use case. They can also all be adapted and fine tuned for other tasks in content classification, search, discover

This isn’t a well understood area at all but the idea that yeast / fermented food consumption helps us regulate our immune system in a good way has also been studied.

Should just link to the Wheelbased article they cite. It is a great cite to follow for patent coverge though most stuff they cover may be not be of interest to anyone who isn't an avid mountain biker. Cycling websites poaching stories

They were defiantly a fad 2015 ish with sales booming. They are still around and popular where they make sense but the number of available models and sales have dropped back...still a ton out there obviously though. There are a bunch of e f

See also windsurfing, snow blades, fat biking and a bunch of other sports that were briefly the next big thing. Some of this is just the nature of fads but an interesting case can be made that, with the rise of the internet sports and decli

This (quick to provision vms of any size you want with your code base etc) for jupyter sounds like a colab and mode killer...the way both of those make it hard to actually check in code leads to a ton of copy and paste code etc. You all sho

You are correct that there have always been really bad years (that chart doesn't go back very far but look up the great burn of 1910). However total size is effected by us getting better at fighting them. What has changed is that the f

Biggest factor with beetle kill spreading north is the lack of hard freezes in early fall. Denser forests are more prone to it though, they'll thin impacted forest to try and keep as many trees as they can.

It is worth adding http://purpleair.com/ who produce the low cost sensors that contribute to at least the first map. They have their own map (with 80 second update intervals) and you can buy a sensor for ~$250... it is a co

Oh yeah, full on mud slides are quite common after a fire.

These current fires are much more destructive because of a combination of the extreme conditions, a dense under story from fire suppression and lots of standing dead wood from beetle kill etc. So ideally for a forest you would have small fi

Just be upfront about it and have a well thought out explanation of why you are returning to the job market instead of continuing. Like if it is a startup say it is a startup or recuring revenue project be prepared to talk about why it didn

For me a big advantage of mirrorless is that it works really well with a variety of vintage glass including rangefinder lenses and you essentially always get WYSIWYG image composition like depth of field preview on a dslr but without dimmin

There are a couple of other big reasons related to differences between film and digital sensors. First film is much less sensitive to the angle at which light strikes it. There are some great, sharp old lens designs from leica, zeiss and ot

One of the original intents of go was to make a static, compiled language that felt familiar to python/ruby programers. This manifests as a really concise syntax (type inference via := etc) and a tight development loop enabled by fast

I used to do a lot of machine learning code in go and think it has great potential as a compiled, static language with similar ease of development to python. However it is hard to get around the lack of operator overloading and (to a lesser

This is correct. On the other hand since tasting rooms can operate without a liquor license it creates a real advantage for small brewereries etc. My town of 5000 has two mircobreweries, a distillery and a cidery and Montana ranks second (I

Fair enough. I was just trying to make the point that something being on pubmed doesn't mean its anything close to an NIH recommendation and chose arxiv as it would be familiar to a CS audience.

They didn't seem to do any novel work. Just cite the work of others without even doing a meta analysis of statistical significance.
