I agree the bug should be fixed. But, why not just use docker, then run rails like its on ubuntu/linux on your mac? It miserable having windows/mac/etc specific issues.
There is plenty of Scala developers that needs to write for example command line tools etc that benefit greatly from the startup times of a native application.
One other benefit of using word2vec-stle training is that you can also control the learning rate, and gracefully handle new training data.

SVD must be done at-once, and you need to use sparse matrix abstractions for raw word vectors. The implementation and abstractions you use actually make it more complex than word2vec imho.

Word2vec can train off pretty much any type of sequence. You can adjust the learning rate on the fly (to emphasize earlier/later events), stop or start incremental training, and with Doc2Vec you can train embeddings for more abstract tokens in a much more straightforward manner (doc ids, user ids, etc.)

While word2vec embeddings are not always reproducible, it is much more stable with the addition of new training data. This is key if you want some stability in a production system over time.

Also, somebody edited the title of the article, thanks! The original title of "Stop using word2vec" is click-bait FUD rubbish. I think in this case we're trying too hard to wring a good discussion out of a bad article.
The same principle can be applied with just about anything: water is not just healthy but essential for life, but if you drink 10 liters in a shot you either get hospitalized or dead.
Most advertising is more subtle than the traditional snake oil bullshit which can be easily detected and sanctioned; it usually is based on a true principle which is then stretched so it can be used to sell something that doesn't work.

Solaris has forkall(2) and forkallx(2) system calls.
“Neighbouring” is defined in terms of embedding in a metric space and inverse-cube diffusion, rather than anything to do with graphic connectivity.

Also, these signals pile up in the synaptic cleft until they’re picked up, so it’s not just about instantaneous transmissivity as if these were radio signals.

But also also, other stuff like monoamine oxidase is floating about in its own diffusion patterns, cleaning up these signals.

It’s basically like a “scent” communication embodied-actor model, but a very complex one where things like redox reactions with the atmosphere occur.

Oh, and there are “secondary messengers”: signals that trigger other signals that, among other things, inhibit the release of the original signal when received back at the sender, such that an dynamic equilibrium state is reached between the two signal types.

Huh? That is kind of the deal isn't it - you pick your developer and if that developer makes bad choices, you get a bad product.

If we don't push back against bad practices by developers we never improve the quality of the ecosystem.

In this specific instance, the user has a choice - don't upgrade.
Apple did that with Thunderbolt quite some time ago.
replying to your comment, I have seen hundreds of monarch butterflies this year. so many, my cat has given up and runs away. I have problems walking around. There are also dozens of other types of butterflies. Like I said you have to stop when you are walking and let them fly away 30-50 at a time. I actively look where I walk because I don't want to run into them, like in-my-face-there-are-so-many. So I don't know what everyone is talking about.
Why stop expectations for self-study at the programming part of the degree program? Math textbooks are available from any library. Rather than continuing mathematics from where high school left off, we could skip past the beginner stuff. The students who really care about computer science will have already learned the basics of discrete math, linear algebra and theory of computation.

This is amazing.

The reason we have high quality free software for desktops is that you can easily install anything you want on your laptops and PC's.

Significance of this is that it allows free software stacks to be built for phones.

Kudos to Samsung for such move. Let's hope other phone makers also open up the phones.

Let's take a look at an alternate reality where Clang didn't exist, and GCC was the only compiler worth using–wait, we don't have to do that. Just look at Bash. It's neglected and stuck on 3.2.57 forever because Apple doesn't want to deal with GPLv3. Do you prefer that to the BSD-licensed solution that LLVM is, where it's still open source and actively maintained, rather than left by the wayside because Apple just refused to play nice?
Conversely, I personally find it very readable, and enjoyable to write; don't forget, when people talk about using the right tool for a job, it's not all about the language and the task - the dynamic between the person and the language is just as important :-)

You repeat yourself. A public good is a positive externality, in that it benefits third-parties.

Or at least, attempts to make simple content based websites work more and more like apps?

Because it seems every site that's gotten a 'redesign' in the last year or so seems to have become some clunky, awkward to use 'app' like thing with dynamic content loading where simple text would do just fine.

Reddit's annoying enough like this (thank you mobile 'loading' screen for every page), but then you've got stuff like Wikia where it seems every single page is loaded via AJAX. Then breaks horribly because it gives me 404 errors 9 times out of 10.

Do these companies not realise how awkward these new designs are to use? Or that if you're not making a social media site, your site doesn't need to load like one?

The University's primary purpose for most people is to educate their children. There are major problems with the way it does this currently. It costs a fortune, fails to provide the necessary skills for the modern workforce and, in many ways, has abandoned it's traditional liberal arts focus for one of identity politics, indoctrination, and an anything-goes culture of alcohol abuse and total sexual freedom.

That's conservative, but not particularly partisan. Our schools are in trouble and we're shooting the messenger.

You might be surprised to learn that most conservatives, just like liberals, send their kids to Universities and pay a lot of money each year to do it.

Anyway, as for a research focus, I think there's disagreement on the conservative side over that issue. I think what most concerns them is waste (not actually getting research despite spending so much money on it) and ideological capture. When University leadership all shares the same political beliefs they will sometimes use the research money they're given to fund very political projects.

I think it's entirely rational to want to stop funding a project which seeks to undermine everything you believe in.

A solution would be to refocus on real research and seek ideological diversity.

What Looks Good on Paper May Look Good in Space
In many domains mapping the problem to a tree search already gives you a superhuman solver or at least a passable solver. Problem mapping is what most of modern AI research is about. That's how the field was redefined in recent years. Just like Vladimir Vapnik says[1], it's becoming more engineering than science. (And sometimes more software alchemy than engineering.)

I was hoping that the article would touch on what the physical requirements are, and was disappointed. Here's some interesting resources

http://work.chron.com/armys-minimum-physical-requirements-jo...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Physical_Fi...

The criteria are:

- BMI

- Eyesight

- Physical fitness on push ups, sit ups and length of time to run 2 miles.

Notably, the differing physical requirement minimums for men vs women are quite significant.
Those studies are usually done on students (because they are readily available as research subjects) and those tend to be "digital natives" who are quite used to keyboards.

From an article[1] about one such study:

The results revealed that while the two types of note-takers performed equally well on questions that involved recalling facts, laptop note-takers performed significantly worse on the conceptual questions.

The notes from laptop users contained more words and more verbatim overlap with the lecture, compared to the notes that were written by hand. Overall, students who took more notes performed better, but so did those who had less verbatim overlap, suggesting that the benefit of having more content is canceled out by “mindless transcription.”

“It may be that longhand note takers engage in more processing than laptop note takers, thus selecting more important information to include in their notes, which enables them to study this content more efficiently,” the researchers write.

I.e. because a keyboard lets you take more notes, you have to think less about them. Good for literal transcription, bad for actually understanding.

Of course this suggests that taking notes on a laptop might be better if you make it more difficult. E.g. if you had to retype your notes multiple times to avoid them fading away, that would certainly improve retention and encourage conceptualization.
You could also enhance it by sending each typed-out word to a text-to-speech engine, thus adding another sensory reinforcement.

But as it is currently practiced, taking notes on a computer apparently still loses out to pen and paper.

I knew there was a catch somewhere. I seriously doubt there's a technical reason why older Galaxy models can't support running Linux as well. I don't understand why it's so difficult for Android manufacturers to allow users to install whatever they want–I bought my phone, now let me install what I want. Sure, void the warrant or refuse to support it, but don't get in my way.

With Fedora jumping over nearly a year ago to Wayland as default in F25, and now Ubuntu in a non-LTS release, hopefully we'll see a tipping point where software (especially third-party/proprietary software) simply must work well on Wayland in order to have a user base.

Once we've got an Ubuntu LTS and a RHEL/CentOS release out there with Wayland by default, X11 ought to rapidly become a thing of the past. There's Xwayland, but with any luck that'll become something you basically never use, just like happened with Xquartz.

I was so lucky to find one from a local computer store. I've been writing code with it now for two days and I must say it's the best laptop I've ever used. The keyboard is just too good, but it's also sturdy, fast and feels nice. And I've had four thinkpads, two macbooks and one asus. T25 might be the pinnacle of laptops for me. Lenovo would be stupid to not continue using these keyboards in some of their models.
Sorry, I'm very bad at explaining myself. I do want more money to go into education. My thought was of we pegged administrator pay to professor pay, we could offer a living wage* (or better?) to our (non tenure track) adjuncts and postgrads.

By the way, I sincerely doubt we can afford to match private sector pay. (Look at the military and see how much they stretch every dollar when it comes to salary). We don't have to match private sector pay. We just have to pay our teaching staff enough and not make their job too miserable. I mean where are you going to go off you want to do basic research?

As much as we hate to admit it, there is a lot of what I'd call waste. We have too many people in management making six figure salaries who act in their own self interest first. I sincerely believe there should be a pay cut for management (from the college president down to all management).

I love the idea of an Internet education too but I feel like there might be value to being there in person sometimes? I'm not sure what I'm talking about.

+1. The OP should use a different storage media if the goal is to keep the data available after years. I speak for personal experience having lost dozens of CDs and DVDs, and I mean branded discs properly burned and verified. Burned Optical media becomes unreadable after a few years, sometimes showing first signs of failure afer only 3 years or less. That convinced me years ago to abandon completely their use in favor of hard drives which I swap every N years to keep up with the advancement of interfaces.

Anyway, M-Discs are a recent development in the optical media field promising 1000 years of reliability, but of course nobody will be able to test that claim anytime soon.

Nonsense, any of such APIs are abstracted away in most game engines, and cover only a tiny fraction of a game engine codebase.

Isn't that contempt? Those watching over the lawyers should follow-up, demand the evidence and, if it's not presented, strike-off (and present for prosecution) the lawyer in question and any party who was involved in the deceit ... surely that's a basic and obvious protection.

Yes, that's the ideal solution, but backwards compatibility overall is a huge can of worms that doesn't really have a good solution. In this case, it might not be possible to upgrade the software (e.g. it's unmaintained, or was contracted out, etc.)

No. Because if they did, they might not make the changes.

Much of this is likely driven by 'marketing' where there was/is a miss-belief that if the site is not using the newest whiz-bang tech it will see reduced "engagement".

But what the marketers can't fathom is that people come to the site for the sites content, not the sites technology stack.

We're all used to having desktop computers with generic x86 compatible processors and highly standardized internal interfaces and components, and compiling our software and installing it on any x86 computer we want.

Smartphones with ARM SOCs aren't like that because they aren't just a CPU, they also include a crapload of additional system components. Even SOCs like the Snapdragon within a specific model will offer many variations to the manufacturers. Outside the SOC itself, phone hardware is far less standardized than on a PC. You can't compile your Linux distro for ARM then install it on any smartphone, the kernel needs to be tailored to the specific phone. That's why even though unlocked Android phones are around it really takes the manufacturer themselves to be able to do something like this because only they have the detailed understanding of the platform and the resources. Otherwise, other people would be doing it.

I think that the fatality rate is lower than I would expect because of improvements to the medical care. If you look at ratio of injuries to deaths: in Afghanistan it's about 8:1, in Vietnam 2.5:1 and in WWII it's 1.5:1 [1]. If it stayed the same military would still be the most dangerous profession. I would argue it still is - sure injured soldiers survive but often without limbs or with serious health issues.
