This has the potential to be very very useful and it is great that FB has released them. Some potential caveats. I don't know how well Fasttext vectors perform as features for downstream machine learning systems (if anyone know of wo

I highly recommend having a look at the transparency page, it includes audio recordings of phone conversations with the FBI and more. Fascinating stuff if you are interested in how law enforcement works. For example, handling an NDA reque

Likewise, I have refused scanning in the US, England, and the Netherlands, for the last 8 years and don't have much to report. As much as I hate security theatre, I try to be polite and when asked for the reason I opt out I state that

I am not so sure if it is "late". Sure, for training models it is far too late, we have semi-dedicated hardware for that at this point. But it is possible that it will become increasingly common to run these models on end-user s

I use a similar set-up, but I had a really bad time making offlineimap sync work. In the end I switched to isync which was easier to configure. It has fewer features, but it has worked out great for me with `Flatten .` turned on in the co

I am about to catch a flight, so I am unable to do anything better than skimming the post and paper. But isn't this just the good old feature embeddings coupled with learnt features that have been around for several years by now?

There are many issues with the one-dimensional left-right scale, but it is undeniable that they are right-wing in their strong social conservatism and nationalism. Note that there are also differences within these parties. An excellent exa

What Julia really lacks at this moment is something along the lines of the Matlab IDE. The community is aware of this though and there is something in the works that even I, someone that lives happily with a ssh/tmux/vim set-up,

Excellent list, I am currently on a reading streak with my new e-reader and this list will certainly keep me going. My favourite Asimov essay must be "The Relativity of Wrong" [1], possibly since it resonates so strongly with my

I am not sure how it "works" either. But, if the Catholic church could gradually change its position on slavery [1], surely it should be possible to do so on other matters as well. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi

It is very difficult to measure data set quality. The goal of a data set to give you insight into how well an approach performs for any given data point (in this case an image and associated label). The problem is that we can not collect

Julia, as of v0.4, has deprecated this syntax [1]. I am not sure where it originally stems from, C? It makes sense from a compiler stand-point since the argument call semantics would most likely be inferred after tokenisation. [1]: https

Sure, I will try to get around to it later today. Not sure why we can't discuss it here though, I can't think of any aspect of a book conversation that would be necessary to keep private.

While I am not colour blind, I sympathise with those that are. All programming languages should have a library along the lines of Colors.jl [1] that allows you to simulate and, more importantly, provides functionality to give you a good se
