GPT-3 can already most of those things. If you haven’t spoken with GPT yourself, you might think it’s overhyped. But it really is quite amazing. I’m saying this as a 15-year veteran machine learning engineer who is not impressed by much in

I studied machine learning at NYU, and from interacting with Yann LeCun, I can say he’s actually a nice guy. Yes, his tweet is grumpy. I still feel as if the implication that Galactica should have been taken down was the worse thing happeni

I was actually a bit surprised by the low regression coefficient values in figure 3. To me, the low values say that many of those features are not hugely important. The authors don’t emphasize this, but they also found that going to sleep

The example using closed intervals makes sense. I see why you mention 1-based indexing, but it’s mostly a different beast. I’ll defend 1-based indexing here because, having used Lua a lot, the indexing issue just goes away. People like what

I fully agree. The US's academic system provides a lot of insulation to researchers because generally this publishing cost will be paid for by your employing company, by your university, or by a grant. So researchers are not incentiviz

I have lots of help. I write during work hours (so kids are at school). At work I delegate as much as possible to a team of great people; hiring a good team has been critical. I sometimes hire a sitter to support some exercise time, and oth

I'm in my 40s and feel sharp, with some evidence to back that up (such as career success and learning new things well). I believe these things help me stay sharp: I prioritize sleep. I try to get exercise (most often running) every day

Author here. I'm delighted to see this is still interesting / useful to folks. In case anyone is curious, here's a short origin story for this tutorial. I learned Lua for a game jam - during the course of the game jam itself.

I few years ago I put together a basic Mandelbrot terminal animation: https://gist.github.com/tylerneylon/e70a684b88809f74168f3a36... It runs nicely in Python 2 (and slower in Python 3). Here's a nice code golf Ma

I was a very early stackoverflow user. I was excited and loved the idea. I still think it's a great idea, but I've come to abhor the police state moderation culture. To directly answer your question, yes, I completely agree that s

Yep! Completely agree that spaCy's docs are great, and have benefited from solid attention. Our motivation in making this is to build up the site as a destination where you can map a conceptual ML problem to copy-and-pasteable code tha

Thanks! Clearly we are fans of spaCy. I appreciate the offer on the pull request and would like to do so. Also, thanks for mentioning the clarification about the is_x attributes - I'll update the pages to improve the accuracy/clar

Cool connections. Do you happen to have a link for the digital art project?

Yes - what a great question to explore! Nice article, thanks.

I didn't know about that before. Looks very interesting (looking at wikipedia) — thanks for mentioning it!

Thanks! I'm considering writing a follow-up note on the process that went into the typesetting. The original source is a markdown-with-latex format that a tool called pandoc can work with. The style is primarily from tufte.css. The ima

I think you're right. Your version of the definition is more elegantly stated, and I may want to use it going forward, as long as a, b, and c still make intuitive sense (thinking about that part).

That's all the solid work I have so far. Tons of ideas for what could be next. For example, consider convolutions on sets generated by L-systems (eg the Cantor set). I suspect those might offer continuous, finitely-supported, linearly-

Thanks! The original source is custom js rendering to svg. The html version of the article contains png files based on that output; the pdf version contains vectorized versions. I got some solid design input from Mike Sall on the images for

This is independent work. Probably fits in with fractals and L-systems.

You're right that the g1 and g2 in section 2 are also scaled in addition to being shifts of f. I plan to clarify this in the text. This work is inspired by the self-similarity of fractals, which is in some cases primarily an intuitive

I re-wrote ed in C once for fun: https://github.com/tylerneylon/ed2 It uses the regex and readline libraries, as well as some container data types (array/map) called cstructs. The main C files sum to around 1,000
