It's a fair point. Qualified ML people working at big companies command huge salaries. Work at big tech: get lots of $$ and access to big compute. Our value prop is different. Work with us, and do something really meaningful. I think t

I didn't mean that "a better education is one which focuses on programming". We'd like to improve education across the board, but have chosen to focus our efforts on STEM topics at the moment. Humanities are by no means

In short: we're looking for people with overlap between instructional design experience and programing+ml industry experience, to create instructional content. A masters in education/instructional psychology isn't needed, so

Random shot here, but I work for a non profit interested in building a better kind of education (focused on programming, ml, and data science). We've been having a hard time figuring out how to hire qualified people to build top-notch

It's worth noting that the Pydantic author stated he's rewriting parts of the validation in Rust for the next major release, with the aims of drastically improving performance. I'm definitely interested in a simple type-safe

What about a commercial source but fully source-available product? I'm currently building an app I hope will appeal to the HN crowd, and I was planning on making the full source available to all customers - this would be billed as a fe

Coincidentally, the latest episode of The Rookie (S05E02 - a show which portrays the LAPD as highly caring/moral) was partially about a group of dirty cops. Essentially the good cops were (sheriff plus deputies) like: "Cops can ha

Sweet! I'll keep an eye on the repo. Thank you for open sourcing DocQuery. I agree with your reasoning: my current attempts to find an NER model that covers all my use cases have come up short

Your commercial product looks very cool, but my use case is in creating an offline-first local document storage system (data never reaches a cloud). I'd like to be enable users to search through all documents for relevant pieces of in

Wow this is exactly what I've been looking for, thank you! I just wish with these transformer models it was possible to extract a structured set of what the model "knows" (for e.g. easy search indexing ). These natural langua

Just published an app on both app stores using Svelte and Ionic. Svelte was a pleasure to use - everything seems like just enough of what you need, without adding any additional mental overhead or complexity. I'm really looking forward

I really appreciate the use of pip > conda. Looking forward to the update for the repo!

Can you describe how you did (/ are doing) this? Do you now need to use conda (as opposed to OPs pip only version)?

It sounds like we have a very different idea of what "ethical" means. In answer to your question about "what's stopping them?" - well, just that: ethics, morals, the desire to act decently even when there might be s

Related to the copyright discussion in another thread... does anyone have a sense of legalities if someone recorded audio versions of these and released them for free? I suspect you'd need the author's permission.

I tried to use Thunderbird for this for a while, but there's a weird bug where it creates copies of emails that have the deleted attachments. You then have to delete those copies to fully delete everything. Switch to the featured app h

Check out https://withorbit.com - an ongoing research project (and set of tools on github) to embed SRS into any essay/post. If more people adopted it, you might have what you want.

I'm really enjoying the discussion here, as I've been thinking a lot about what a full modern ML/DS curriculum would look like. I currently work for a non-profit investigating making a free high quality set of courses in this

Watching this run, I wonder if you could use something like this to desensitize yourself from notification addiction. Since this is stimulus without any reward, ever, may it break the normal stimulus-response-reward cycle of real notificati

In The Scout Mindset, Julia Galef calls a very related state "the soldier mindset" - this is similar enough to the term you proposed but I think you would enjoy reading the book.

> "The responsible life before God" -- I don't think any modern person is capable of understanding what that meant in the 1940s. We just don't think that way anymore. I would suggest that perhaps you are limiting your

Check out The Scout Mindset. It's the best book I've found on how to think clearly (on these kinds of potentially tribal thoughts), and how to productively interact with people who may not be trying to improve in this area (the &q

I've really been enjoying the posts from Chris unpacking the TruffleRuby optimizations. I've been hearing about Graal and Truffle for years, but didn't understand exactly what made them so fast. Paired with my current reading

Coming from traditional statically typed languages (Java, C++, Typescript, even Python or Ruby...), you might think of a type like "int" or "Float". He's calling stamps "micro-types" because they're m

My colleagues and I discuss, off and on, what it would be like to introduce chavruta learning to other domains. We dream of an environment like that for chemistry, physics, etc. I think I've seen it develop in Math circles (two folks g

As an educator, I think about this a lot. One approach I'm prototyping for a (hopefully freely available) course on reinforcement learning is to translate dense math expressions into English sentences, and then link each piece of text&

I actually just reverse engineered the Victoria app yesterday. I don't really have any reason to do this, but if anyone does want to submit a whole bunch of check-in requests, it's pretty easy. A single CURL call will do it.

I apologize for my lack of clarity. I intended my capitalization of "Freedom" to stand in for a particular philosophy, which I did not clearly explicate. To restate: I think the COVID lockdowns are a very different case from these
