I guess the author was saying that people who pay $10 for a CD might now be willing to pay for thousands of dollars for an NFT as an investment. But this only works if the NFT bubble never bursts.

if the major motivator is greed but not the intrinsic value of the tech, don't you think this is terribly broken?

Why use chains at all? Use Postgres. Digital ownership and potential for profit are the value propositions. Most users probably don't care about the security and decentralization.

I'm a native Mandarin speaker. I don't know why you need to stress "taught" or "believe" so much. I'm not taught by anyone, nor believe that dialects are mostly similar. I experienced it. Most dialects, Ca

> no provenance of the data This is hardly true. It's easy to keep a history of query logs, which is enough to figure out 90% of data lineage. The rest 10% probably correspond to operations not even runnable on a blockchain. I can m

Didn't intend any offense. But let me introduce more about myself, and tons of other adult piano beginners. You can see if you really care. I care absolutely nothing about piano basics. I have a busy full-time job and tons of side proj

The automatic algorithm can definitely take hand size into account. I often feel that the fingering I come up with myself as a beginner is suboptimal. What I usually do is to watch youtube videos repeatedly to study what experts do. And tha

Thanks for the insights. For casual adult playing though, I'd never reach" high level" playing. All I want is to play easy songs I like (I'm sure there are plenty of people like me), for which I think an automatic algori

Having the same struggle as an adult learning piano. How do highly-skilled pianist come up with fingering? Are there any kind of rules? I think there are. But it may be so automatic that they don't actively think about them. On the oth

The amount of snub and ignorance from people who might have never put on a VR headset is insane. Can we put aside who owns the Metaverse, and just talk about whether it's something valuable to a wider audience than a large portion of H

> WebGPU, WebXR, WebAssembly, and WebTransport are the key foundational technologies to this future online space. This sounds like a narrow view focusing on software. Hardware is apparently the bottleneck here. A 3D game on a website is

I'm fortunate enough to have taken the TOC course by Sipser in person. High clarity despite the arcane nature of the materials. Quite some amusement as well (not sure if it's the case in the ocw course). Highly recommended.

I generated training comments by matching book names. Roughly, there are one in five of those comments that actually have a book mention. Then I use the Doccano labeling tool to label the tokens in the comments.

Ah right now ranking is really rudimentary: I just use TextBlob's SA library to get a sentiment score for the comment, and combine it with the comment length. In theory we can also use BERT to get a sentiment score, which should be mor

Thank you! The medium post is amazingly written! I basically did the same thing - and you beat me with the data augmentation piece. I tried using nlpaug [0] but it didn't improve the model performance. I'll definitely try swapping
