I’d say at the same point that others in the field would generally agree it’s fradulent. I’m not familiar enough with the field of word2vec to say if this is the case or not. But regardless, asking that the implementation be representative

Yet there are approximately 0 papers doing that. Flawed or not not, the original paper still beats the socks off your approach on novelty. And (perceived) novelty is the lifeblood of the acedemic.

No, it would not be more efficient. I’ve tried this route and it hands down consumes way more time. Until it’s clear that something will get re-used, it’s most efficient to leave it dirty. The software types love to sht on researchers for t

Reproducible research does not mean you don’t have to do any work. The original author isn’t going to come to your lab and clean your pipettes nor should they. Grow up.

I’m amazed at the tiny inconveniences that lead people to something is totally broken and completely unusable.

> The core of the "bad investment" argument is that the money doesn't necessarily all get spent either way. Yes but that is part of the problem with the argument: it basically assumes perfectly rational actors who never ch

And yet, we have laws that require businesses to build ADA compliant bathrooms, and laws that forbid them from discriminating in both their employment practices and customer relations. If you want to make the “but they are a private busines

This is a rediculous justification. Websites should not be coded to a whitelist of browsers.

Nobody likes an evangelist, whether they are right or not. E.g., I’d be more inclined to learn rust if its proponents didn’t have such a Southern Baptist tone.

Eh, I still think a v8 with a flowmaster is pretty cool.

EVs are fine but I don’t like Tesla as a company. I don’t want OTA updates, I don’t want a car that phones home like Chrome and Windows 10, I want the ability to fix things myself. I want to actually own the things I buy. Basically, I see T

A 20 year old car isn’t really vintage, but it’s trivial to find parts for most cars going back at to the 90s, at both the dealership and places like Napa.

Yeah, seems surprising that most of the comments are about the wages and not the racism.

I think this is true of just about any job. I was a carpenter for 8 years. Nailing up wall after wall gets pretty boring. Then I went to grad school. I swear I spent at least 25 % of my time making figures “publication quality”: adjust the

I was a carpenter for about 8 years, then decided to go to grad school (defended last week). The prospect of cutting a finger off with a table saw or worse was definitely a factor in that decision. To be fair though, sitting at a desk 8+ ho

Personally, I find config files to be simple and elegant, and gui based configuration to be clunky and cumbersome. For most things anyway.

Yeah it’s annoying that links get broken. But maybe it’s better this way. There’s something about modern tech that has turned all of us into digital horders. I (we?) have backups and backups of backups and redundant RAID servers with every

I didn’t connect the dots to bigotry. I thought this was one of those “see how uneducated people are” kind of things.

I deleted my Facebook about 5 years ago but hung on to my Instagram. I was never very active, but about a year ago I noticed a similar trend to the behavior you describe: I’d post something and wait with bated breath to see how many likes i

Yeah that book radically changed my perspective. I just laugh now when people talk all this doom and gloom.

What was the problem with battery swaps? I’ve always thought that that is about the only way to make EVs viable.

It’s difficult to see how asking somebody who is beating the climate change drum to toe their own line is sending them on an ideological death march. The hypocrisy displayed when these folks run around in their private jets while screaming

Yeah, I have about the same opinion of the medical profession. Except for fixing mechanical problems (e.g., fractures) they seem pretty much worthless. Prescriptions that do fck all to fix anything and inconclusive diagnoses after you waite
