I like the point he makes. It's worth expanding on a little; why don't more people do what he's suggesting and spend most of their time trying to just do stuff they think will be good I stead of optimising for something else?

Anyone know what the catch is here? Very exciting if real, but sometimes these things don't scale/aren't commercial/something else I'm ill-equipped to perceive. Not trying to knock this by any means, I hope it works

Not as far as the data scientist in question is concerned, anyway. I'm reminded of that joke: Business logic (n): your stuff, which is shit, as opposed to my code, which is beautiful I say this as a machine learning engineer

Another classic of the genre I've seen is excessive memoization, done using precisely these sorts of decorators. By the time it has to be debugged in production, the culprit has left the building. It can even obscure the source of othe

I have a financial advisor who does all this for me so as it happens I have 100% clarity regarding what my retirement funds are invested in. Asking a financial services provider to prove they've got the assets they say they have is abs

Funniest reveal definitely that it's fully backed and no-one can understand why tether fought tooth and nail to hide it

by s_Hogg 4y ago
You'd think Tether would be in favour of something like this as an investor confidence thing but they aren't. I struggle to understand how that can be without it throwing some doubt on the viability of tether itself. Does anyone k

It seems like the point of the article is that that push is insubstantial, if it even exists. Given the language has been around this long it's a bit worrying that stuff like that is the potential target for moving a language forward.

Great read, vaguely reminds me someone or other was trying to get cpython going with cosmopolitan libc. Wonder what that would do for speed.

I like what you're saying, but doesn't this just reduce to "garbage in, garbage out"?

Yeah I tried to publish a package back in like 2015 and was dealt with very harshly, got banned for a week from submitting for asking questions about the process after the first attempt didn't work. It really turned me off R and frankl

Are you thinking about anything in real life particularly with regards to this story?

Possiy not, in a system where voting is non-compulsory! It's compulsory where I live and one of those idiots simply couldn't win as a consequence. Democracy is something you do, not something you have.

This is really interesting, well done :) As it stands, it seems like your algo will always use the same first guess, have you thought about making that configurable and seeing what happens with e.g. the number of words where it gets stuck a

Yes, but would it still be worth it? That's the question that maintainers should ask themselves. Pretty hard to do much of anything without uproar of some sort at this point, even the most recent no-GIL proposal had people complaining

If that's the case then why are they ok with the founder leaving? I don't think this is a scam or anything, I just wish I understood the mechanics of how their business works better than I do

What's the catch with this, I wonder? If it's so easy to cash out, what does that mean for the price at which you cash out? How does Tiny manage to stay non-interventionist as they claim? It's interesting but I think there ha

This article reads like it is trying to cancel the cancellers, somewhat ironically! Very hard to not become the thing you hate when you get tangled up in this stuff.

This thing reads like it was written a few years ago, to my mind (source: I've been working in ML most of a decade now). Disintermediation of data pipeline creation is definitely nothing new at this point and the technologies aren&#x27

Maybe with that attitude :) Part of solving the problem is legislation, part of it is cultural. If you don't have both, then sure, it's too hard.

I read through the README and I'm still not quite sure - given how simple it is to set up wireguard, what's the value add here?

Fantastic stuff for mould suppression. Make a paste and rub it on the wall, you'll have nothing to worry about for months.
