Glad to see a shoutout to Radim Rehurek and gensim. The library is really a joy to work with.

While this complaint generally has validity, their paper [1] does IMO present an advance; it's not just handing a bunch of labeled data off to a large neural network. IIRC (forgive me, I read the paper a few weeks ago) the solution is

The MBTA visualization[1] of the Boston subway system is phenomenal; a clear homage to Marey's trains[2], a beautiful train schedule graph from the late 1800's which I first came across in Edward Tufte's "The Visual Disp

I've thought about this a little bit - I guess the security of the system depends on what you consider to be the channel, source, and destination. The argument is that |device|-------->network--------->|device| may be secure, but

It would be fun to whoop up an LDA analysis of this data.

If I'm not mistaken, this site has pivoted remarkably since I first visited it. Didn't it used to be a tool for determining appropriate market prices for used items?

Would it be useful to see this on a grid? I find it's much more intuitive to coordinate strumming with my sense of hearing.

When I had an iPhone, I couldn't bring it to the library to do (school) work, because of the risk of bullshitting on the phone for who knows how long after receiving a text or something. So I would leave my phone at home every day and

I like this. Just switched back to dumb phone about a month ago. I wonder if there would be a market for a touch screen phone with a really nice and simple interface, but no apps; just call and text.

I guess it depends on what one's of "high" is with respect to false positives. I think he's arguing that the costs associated with these false positives are such that even an "extremely low" absolute number (l

Thought I'd point out a little typo. In your table with sliders for adjusting probabilities of state transitions, the P(B|B) probability reads "P(B|A)". Edit 1: Also, P(A|B) reads "P(A|A)". Edit 2: Not trying to be

Some points in Andreesen's post were eerily reminiscent of Keynes' musings about the fifteen hour work week. See link http://georgemaciunas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Economi...
