No idea about SOTA but naively it doesn't seem like a very difficult problem: - Ensure all TLA+ specs produced have the same inputs/outputs (domains, mostly a prompting problem and can solved with retries) - That all TLA+ produce

A fascinating thought. But then who verifies that the TLA+ specification does indeed match the human specification? I’m guessing using an LLM as a translator narrows the gap, and better LLMs will make it narrower eventually, but is there a

I always found Kufi to be a form of space-filling curves[0], which was the original purpose: a form of decoration that can fill a surface such as edges around a building[1, 2], without depicting humans in stone, a form of art historically f

Worth noting that Kufi writing originates from the region of Kufa in modern-day Iraq, also the source of the Kufiyyeh headdress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kufa

Serverless in the context of Postgres means to decouple storage and compute, so you could scale compute "infinitely" without setting up replica servers. This is what Neon offers, where you can just keep hitting their endpoints wit

Great job, congrats for the release! A little feedback, it could be nice to auto-generate a unique url on page load (the one you generate after clicking on "share"). Bonus is that it gives the user a certain confidence to reload t

True in principle. Looking at it from Apple’s side, they are selling an ecosystem of clients to digital (or physical) service providers with certain guarantees on how that ecosystem operates. Opening up automation is a double whammy for App

Thank you! Adding support for `additionalProperties`[0] (and perhaps `patternProperties` too) would be particularly great! Happy to provide test cases as well if helpful. 0: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/dr

It does! I do use CT2! On a decent CPU I found the translation to take anywhere between 15-30 seconds depending on the sentence’s length, very unnerving to me as a user. But it’s definitely worth revisiting that. Thanks!

Many languages (with a sizable speaker population) do not have machine translation to or from any other language. The technique makes sense though, but in the training data stage mostly. BART-style translation models already represent conce

Being alone in this vast city gave me a certain feeling of unease. Reminds me of Stargate episodes where they would find an advanced civilization devoid of life, only to discover they got wiped out in a mysteriously terrible fashion.

Thanks for the tip and cool project! The model I trained is relatively large, as it's a single model that supports all language pairs (to leverage transfer learning). With that said while running it client-side is indeed an option, ope

Pandoc can be painful (mostly due to the complexity of all the tools it orchestrates in my opinion), but I find it very hard to beat once you get in non-trivial publishing territory and you refuse to use TeX/LaTeX-style processors. The

Marian was a good starting point and allowed me to iterate faster when I first started, but I quickly found it a bit limiting as it performs better for single pairs. My goal was a google translate style multilingual translation model, and f

I started seeing results as early as 5-10k pairs, but you want something closer to 100k, especially if the language has a lot of variations (aka morphologically rich, agglutinative, or written in a non-standardized way). Manual proof-readin
