At its core, yes, Yuri wanted to highlight the fact that the “power” of the language created more or less “a fractal” of type/function composition cases that made it very difficult to guarantee the correctness of a given call site. Thi

It does not matter whether Matthew understands how transformer models work. He does understand that legally this is looking messy – or “foggy”, in his words. As a person that teaches and conducts research with these models, there is no reas

Indeed, I had seen so many good things said about Brother on Hacker News that I recently got an MFC-L2750DW for my home office that I am looking to swap for a MFC-L3770CDW as for some blasted reason Brother decided to get rid of printing an

Nice to see that you are finding a use for the brat [1] frontend for the UI! Less nice that we did not get a cite in the paper [2]. '^^ [1]: http://brat.nlplab.org [2]: https://nicolay-r.github.io/website&#x

If you are in a field “driven by” closed journals, you are highly unlikely to make career progress if you stay principled as funding, promotions, and so on will depend on publishing where others perceive the work as being good. Maybe if you

I finally settled for dwm too nearly a year ago and I really can not emphasise how big of a deal the ~2,000 SLOC of code really is. It allows you to read it all in about an hour and once you have done that you will be “elevated” from user t

Happy SIP user for nearly twenty years, which allows me to bridge three countries. Currently using baresip [1] and finding it to be remarkably reliable, but is there any hardware phone out there that I can put on my desk? Or is the sane thi

Honestly, I find it easier to start from something minimal, read man pages, and then gradually make the setup more complex, rather than start from a massive heap of settings handed down from someone else.

Last time I tried aerc (some time over a year ago), mutt had better threading and I stayed with mutt. Having read the aerc source and used it though, it comes across as a very nice modern take on a TUI MUA.

You are not the only one and I would like to think that I am still perfectly capable of having fun. Maybe it is a generational thing, but I find emojis immensely distracting and impairing my ability to read as my eyes will fixate on the emo

OpenTTD is probably my favourite, but let me put a classic that I really enjoyed into the mix: XBattle [1]. Real-time strategy with an emphasis on area of control and supply line “flow”. All while “abusing” X11 to get multi-player support.

NixOS user here. My experience is that if you track unstable, you will have bleeding edge packages within a day or two from an upstream release. Likewise, due to how Nix works, you can pick and mix from stable, unstable, and your own custom

Agreed on all points, Japanese ceiling lights are wonderful. For context, the great majority of Japanese homes and apartments come with standardised, non-screw, ceiling light fixtures for which you purchase your own lights when you move in.

Both Natural Selection and Natural Selection 2 are some of my favourite games of all time, so I probably carry a heavy bias. But in my opinion they were both absolutely excellent. The second game had severe technical issues initially, but h

Thank you, I will see if I can find one to try out. The MX Vertical has felt pretty nice in my hands too whenever I tried it at a store, but I can not buy a mouse with such an absolutely awful scroll wheel.

Well, I sure hope it is better than the MX Master 3. For my hands the original – discontinued – MX Master is still the best fit and the MX Master 3 is too small. However, my supply of old MX Masters has started to break down on me at this

As a somewhat established researcher in the field, I second Jurasky and Martin. It is peerless and what I recommend to anyone joining my team if they think their background NLP knowledge is a bit on the weak side.

As a fellow Swede, I disagree. They taste just marginally better than what I would get back in school for lunch. However , I can still enjoy them for what they are and have a plate if I drop by IKEA abroad. =)
