I definitely think that UX is an underappreciated area for machine learning data. I want to make a set of libraries and tools that make it easier for people to work with ML data in the browser. The first step of good data science is to beco

Pretty interesting to go from a world of deterministic code, to LLMs which can do incredible things, but unreliably. In a world of LLMs, I could imagine guardrails being a table-stakes part of engineering an ML system, just like unit tests,

This paper is embarrassingly bad. It's really just an opinion piece where the authors rant about why they don't like large language models. There is no falsifiable hypothesis to be found in it. I think this paper will age very poo

Shout out to JSCAD -- Javascript solid object CAD software. I really like it. Some things I've been able to do with JSCAD that would be hard to imagine with any other CAD software: - From the same source files, I can generate either an

I work in inkscape a lot, and aesthetically like to keep things aligned on integers where possible. Makes it easier to edit by hand if needed, keeps things aligned, and keeps files small. You have to be careful about when you move, scale, g

No you're wrong. Galileo's experiment doesn't apply here. Heavier objects DO fall faster at terminal velocity. A glider in sustained flight is an example of that. Galileo just showed that objects accelerate at the same rate d

Really grateful that Mate exists. To this day, gnome3 has not reached parity with gnome2 on flexibility of configuration. I don't even make a lot of customizations to my desktop, but having the option when I need it is really key.

Thank you chrome, for recognizing that the USER is what matters, not the website developer. Websites started blocking legitimate uses of autocomplete, and that makes the web less secure. As a user I sincerely hope that "autocomplete=of

Franz Reichelt clearly failed in his approach, but his idea was not crazy -- today we have wingsuits that can fly.

CTO of Algorithmia here. We've spent a lot of time thinking about the issues of deploying deep learning models. There are a whole set of challenges that crop up when trying to scale these kinds of deployments (not least of which is try

There's a clear trend in the industry to increasingly rely on cloud services, so it seems reasonable that machine learning would follow the same trend. As long as the compute is in the same data center, data transfer is rarely the bott

Bringing a parachute on a airplane is fine. The problem is there is no good way to exit a modern airliner.

The terms here are necessary to provide the services that we offer via Algorithmia. We need the right to run your code and make it available. It needs to be in perpetuity so that consumers of the API can put it in production with the assura

Weka is definitely more old-school, but it has a LOT of algorithms available. Weka and Mahout are the two biggest ML libraries on the JVM, but we couldn't find any direct head-to-head comparison so this was the result. In the future we

The data question is something we are taking very seriously. I talked a bit more about this in another comment, but we know that in many cases data is heavy and is often the limiting factor. We are building a robust data platform ontop of H
