For English NLP, I often stem first because it usually reduces noise. I think your main concern is that the abundance of homonyms will increase noise which is certainly possible. Because I don't know Hebrew, I don't have any intuition on what may work. My advice is to experiment. Cluster some Hebrew text without lemmatization, cluster with lemmatization using that Hebrew analyzer I linked, and see what the results are. Also maybe a literature review will yield experiments done with Hebrew and word embeddings/vectors. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

EDIT

I found this paper which may answer your question about lemmatization and word vectors.

Nobody is seriously suggesting a 16-lane freeway in PDX. The freeway expansion that's being proposed is to remove an awful bottleneck on I-5, where it cuts down to just two lanes in each direction near the Rose Quarter. The entire rest of that road is three lanes.

This is on the major US West Coast interstate highway, going through the largest city in the state. I know of 100k person towns in the middle of nowhere that have better highway infrastructure than this.

On everything else you mention, we are in agreement. The increased density of the inner East side is hopefully going to play a big role in keeping costs down and avoiding massive sprawl as the city grows.
Well I'm paranoid enough to think such possibilities are a problem. But how do you sell those concerns to the average person?
Wait, it isn’t pronounced ‘cog’?

Unfortunately, I don't think they would. They'd get a slap on the wrist fine, maybe have one or two senior executives resign, they'd post a mea culpa, saying how they now it was wrong and promise to do better, and then everyone would forget about it a few weeks later when some new thing started to dominate the news cycle.

I'm 95% sure that there will be an entitlement for recording audio without showing the red mic bar (look at the Phone app), but it won't be a public one. There is no way for a third party app to get past app review with a custom entitlement without explicit permission from Apple. I'd be very surprised if it even passed automated review when the app was uploaded.
Inconsistent version numbers in subversion
It kind of is if you demand more than that from everyone else. A peon is killing himself for 0.5% equity while you’re sitting pretty on a 40% stake. It’s not like people are dumb or blind.
What I don't like about Superman is his powers: they lack imagination. He's just strong (like a tractor or a crane), fast (like an airplane or rocket), has laser eyes (like... lasers), extremely sensitive hearing (like spy microphones) and X-ray vision (like microwave cameras). So he's not transcendent at all - we already have all his powers with the help of banal devices.

Superman = just a regular man + devices = Tony Stark - the creativity. When I understood this, I kind of cooled off from superman.
This paper seems somewhat suspect.

For one, "depth-three" implies three layers, and in the standard terminology of the field what they really mean is "depth one".

And another major red flag:

We give a polynomial-time algorithm for learning neural networks with one hidden layer of sigmoids feeding into any smooth, monotone activation function (e.g., sigmoid or ReLU)

How is ReLU smooth?

The reality of Russian intelligence activities is not a few ultra-capable super spies subverting entire procurement programs. The reality is a flood of individual little social media messages intended to feed a narrative of how strong, better, superior, unstoppable and righteous the nation of Russia is. You know, sort of like your comments in this thread.

The idea that Russia's military is "renewed" is laughable. 30 years ago they were a global superpower. Today they can't field one aircraft carrier without needing a tow. Russia is a regional power with a nuclear deterrent. And despite the rhetoric, Russia only wants to be a regional power. Their military is calibrated for that. To the extent that Russia messes with the U.S., it is only to keep the U.S. from interfering in what Russia considers to be its sphere of influence. Russia does not have the capability or interest in direct military confrontation with the U.S.

It's a pretty easy test - they just said "cat food" a bunch of times and ads for cat food came up in their feed the next day. I'm sure if you were interested you could probably do the same experiment with some other product you've never posted about or talked about online and come up with similar results. It seems strange that you would just assume that the people who are bringing up this issue are simply misinformed, or do not also know that facebook also looks at other parts of their data. I think most lay people understand how data mining is leveraged these days.
Right. Also, my wife and I have a little game of sharing about public restrooms that we encounter. Generally, the men's rooms are far more trashed than the women's rooms. But how many establishments have surveillance cameras in their men's rooms? Not many, I suspect.
Balanced Homeostasis? Maybe we could just start with that - it might give an organism life, but it would be interesting to see if social emergent behaviors came from a group of agents optimizing homeostasis alone
Perhaps your coworker googled about backpacks after the conversation, and facebook knows you spent some time together just before that and put two and two together so to speak.

I'm sure most of the time their algorithms make guesses like that it doesn't result in anything relevant, but you don't notice those ones.

If this cross-referencing of other people's searches is something that they're doing, though, that's concerning too. I don't want my partner to see ads for a gift I'm surprising her with because a facebook algorithm is guessing she might be interested in ads about things I've googled.
Then maybe there should be no student loans. The idea of a debt that can't be discharged in any circumstance sounds like a form of slavery to me. Schools could charge a rate that a part-time minimum wage employee can pay.

"Coq" means "Rooster" in French. Coq (the software) started development at INRIA (France) in 1984 as a small R&D project. I am not particularly shocked that the original developers did not realize the possible double meaning in another language, and being as dismissive as you are seems uncalled for.

There are countless startups whose names in English mean something else entirely in another language. For example "Cocu Social", a cooking startup, whose name in French would mean "gregarious cuckold".
Good point. The term doesn't sound good. I'd rather call myself a Rubyist or a Pythonista. What we call something matters. Presentation matters. Some geeks think they're hyper-rational, but do you turn up to a job interview in pyjamas? A new programming language should use a positive and cool name.
S.H.E.I.L.D. is a ton of people, normal and super, and they're not all on the same side all of the time. And it's not just that franchise, there's way more gray in modern movies and shows then there used to be. And I don't think most people, including kids, are as dumb as we think they are, they notice when things are pure fantasy and when things are calling into question what is actually good and bad.

Basically the same discussion on separate stories covering the same topic, both on the front page simultaneously. The second only took off after the first was flagged off the page or something.

I didn't want to summon the dupe police before I had a chance to review it a bit closer. Also didn't want to lose both to the flagging committee.

The scene today is reminiscent of Apple and illegal music downloads circa 2007:

> iPods were transactional products that could be filled with legal music, pirated music, podcasts, music of one’s own creation — it didn’t matter to anyone but the iPod’s owner. Apple sold a product that benefited from openness into a relatively lawless market and reaped the rewards [1].

Social media is largely a lawless market, and FB (amongst others) is reaping the rewards. In the case of the iPod, government regulation was the bandaid, and the cure was a new incumbent: streaming music services. Importantly, streaming music was only afforded by advances in mobile/wifi tech. So how is this like fake news in social media -- what are the analogies here? Again we’ll see government regulation with minimal effect, as noted in this WSJ article. And should there be a solution to FB’s propaganda problems, my bet is it’ll come from a service that alters the means by which we share (social) experiences online, just as the ability to stream music replaced the need to download it. What's more, the solution will likely come from outside the walls of FB.

FB will tread on though, just like Apple, by embracing the novel tech; the iPod was supplanted by the iPhone, leveraging external streaming music services like Spotify and Pandora. So it's not exactly "who will rein in FB?" but rather "what". What technology will give us new means by which we interact with social media? There are dozens of ideas, but the billion dollar one will be that which eradicates the spread of propaganda, just as streaming services eradicated the dependence on pirated music a decade ago.

* "Viking graffiti in its Muslim mosque which was once a Catholic church built for an emperor." - Catholic? It's called Hagia Sophia. The irony of this error is that a commonly cited reason for why the expected help from Europe did not arrive during the last siege of Constantinople was the attitude of "I would rather see a Turkish turban in the midst of the City than the Latin mitre" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loukas_Notaras).

* "It's [Golden Horn] really called that, by the way, because everything in Turkish sounds dramatic" - Name is from Ancient Greek. Nobody really uses that name anymore, except tourism brochures and people who do want to be dramatic, I guess. (BTW, did you know that the Golden Gate bridge is named after the Golden Horn?)

* "The statue celebrating the Greeks' victory over the Persians is just sitting in the middle of the Hippodrome" - Not a statute, really, but the Serpent Column (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_Column)

etc. etc. I understand this is not an investigative piece about Istanbul's history but an On The Road-like breathless impressive essay. Still errors that can be avoided with simple Wikipedia lookup bother me. (And let's not even go into the Turkish word for dentist being "teethmaster"!)
A lot of those epics weren't to "make sense of the world". They were to transmit cultural values, and let the audience feel they were part of something bigger. For example, if you're an ordinary Roman hearing the Aeneid, what you're hearing is not a story to explain why there's thunder or how the world got made -- what you're hearing is a story that says, no matter how low you may be in the system of Roman civilization, you and all Romans share in a greater destiny.

‘I FORGOT MY PIN’ AN EPIC TALE OF LOSING $30,000 IN BITCOIN
You can use Gensim:

from gensim.models.phrases import Phrases
bigrams = Phrases(corpus)

or you could rank bigrams by count(w1+w2)^2/(count(w1)*count(w2))

many variations on this formula work, but the idea is to compare the count of the bigram to the counts of the unigrams.

By the way, you do bigram identification before Word2Vec to have specialized vectors for bigrams as well.

Besides this method, there is one great way to identify ngrams: use Wikipedia titles. It's quite an extended list that covers most of the important named entities, locations and multi-word topic names, or go directly to http://wiki.dbpedia.org/ for a huge list with millions of ngrams. Cross reference it with your text corpus and you get a nice clean list.
I don't know about your CEO, but reality is that people of different talent levels can work more/less than others of different talent levels and still succeed. Hard truth!

My general recommendation to those who feel they're working too much is to 'demote' themselves to a position of lower responsibility / talent requirements.
There’re too many classes (and too much code in general), coupled very tightly to each other.

The example code is very error prone. These string item names are easy to mistype, the compiler will OK that, if you’re lucky you’ll find a runtime error, otherwise you’ll introduce the bug. Enums are usually better.

That “code likely/unlikely to change” stuff is just a guess. If neither of them changes, the proposed approach introduced a lot of complexity for no value. But if the “code likely to not change” ever changes (e.g. extra steps dependent on pizza or store), the proposed approach won’t work at all, it’s either redesign or hacks.

Personally, 80% of times I used factory pattern was while implementing deserializers (esp. in C++ that lacks reflection). The other 20% is when I instantiated concrete classes based on come config values of user input. Oh, and all my class factories were just functions, there’s no need for separate factory classes.
What people who do academic analysis of programming languages often miss is culture. So much about what programming language gets used has to do with what ecosystem it's been targeted at and what colleagues in that ecosystem are using.

Interesting. I thought algebraic effects + handlers were the new hotness in modeling effects with types.
I have only ever watched two thirds of a Starwars movie. That was some 35 years ago on television, and it struck me as utterly stupid and pointless. Bad science, bad space, bad soundwaves in space, silly costume party in a bar, idiotic storyline, and ill-conceived characters.

Didn't ever come back for more.

It was obvious to me then that this was simply a concoction of fairytales and tall stories with a new coat of Hollywood paint sprayed on. Fine by me, as long as I don't have to watch, but offensive seeing it touted as science fiction, when so clearly it is fiction with no trace of science.

Mind you, I am difficult and probably annoying. Even as a child, I never liked fairytales and fables, which would usually lose my attention about thirty seconds in. Like "Okay, someone has magic/holy/super-powers. No need to wade through a tedious story, then. Resolve the damn thing with your powers, and move on". Magic was cheating, it undermined any kind of predictable ruleset for me.

That's right. I'm on HN, and I never read a word of Tolkien, nor ventured anywhere near the films.

"Rust" is positive and cool. Job ads can just use "Rust programmer" instead of whatever cutesy demonym. I don't look at job ads often, but I don't recall seeing terms like "Rubyist" or "Pythonista" used in them.
Hi, first comment so please be gentle.

I'd like to point out that this video doesn't actually provide any evidence that Facebook was listening.

They said they talked about cat food all day, then they showed an ad on Facebook for cat food.

There's no way to verify that they didn't make the video of the cat food ad on Facebook and then talk about cat food all day.

Nor is there any evidence that they talked about cat food all day at all. No recording of the conversations etc.

In fact I'm a little confused about how this is even a question.

I'm not a programmer so I don't know, but: Wouldn't it be trivial for someone who knows how to write Android software to monitor if an an application is accessing the audio input device?

I mean, I know that on Linux you can monitor whether or not a device is being opened.

Why doesn't someone check if Facebook is accessing the audio input?

AOLServer was great! I used it for a ton of stuff, the most complex being a marketplace for data. It was almost trivially easy to do fast, maintainable, programmable business logic as part of a complex web site. Having to switch over to the likes of Flask on Apache (not that Flask isn't a decent framework) was a major step back for development, testing and maintenance.
The information is valuable only in so far as it helps making decisions about it: someone should know if the other person has AIDS, or Terminal cancer, for making lots of decisions. Hiding that information might help the sick person, but it doesn't give good results in the end to the system.

Another reason to defend privacy in this regard is to use it as a tool against discrimination. But its as good as thinking that the way to prevent robberies is to have no assets. It might be useful today,but its not a goal, it is a compromise.

Embarrassment is not something to indulge. It is a feeling that springs only out of society.
I'd like to see some more rigorous testing than this. They said it took 2 days to happen? Other people's anecdotes indicate it happens within minutes. I don't think this is conclusive, it's still within the realm of confirmation bias.

I feel like there'd be hundreds of these videos if it was real. How many people tried to make this video and it didn't work? I hope someone buys 10 new phones, opens 10 new Facebook accounts, and does some statistically rigorous testing.
So you think that I cannot fathom that some people can not afford a car because I noticed that a bicycle is not a car?
> You can write a TCL list to a file? You mean a TCL string to a file? Lisp can just write strings to files too.

To expand upon this, Lisp can write its lists to files (and most other things out of the box) which it can then read back from files and then eval. This is what Lisps mean by a printable/readable object.

In Clojure:

(spit "foo.clj" '(defn foo [] "CONGRATS! YOU CALLED FOO!!!"))
(load-file "foo.clj")
(foo) ; => "CONGRATS! YOU CALLED FOO!!!"

In Common Lisp:

(with-open-file (f "foo.lisp" :direction :output)
(pprint
'(defun foo ()
"CONGRATS! YOU CALLED FOO!!!!") f))
(with-open-file (f "foo.lisp" :direction :input)
(eval (read f)))
(foo) ; => "CONGRATS! YOU CALLED FOO!!!!"
I'm not sure how applicable to criterion is to investing. The main differences are you typically don't lose your entire 'bet', and bets aren't decided in a single moment but the outcome is slowly revealed over time.
One area I haven't seen any good solutions for is the interleaving of tests with production code. I think we need better ways to express tests without cluttering the production code and excessive mocking. What I'd like to do, and really can't in any language/tooling that I know of, is to extract some arbitrary subset of the code and surround it with tests or a test harness. I'd also like to specify various injection points for tests right as I'm writing the code in a way that doesn't affect the production code and contributes to its readability. Perhaps this is pieces of server and client code or various services all tested together. When I refactor the code I want the tests to "refactor" with the code. I don't want to need to rewrite my tests... Automatic test generation is another interesting area (beyond the basic table or algorithm stuff we might do in tests today).

It's almost like the "problem" isn't the languages themselves, it's the tooling around the languages. I want to be able to do a lot more than "compile", "run", with my code... I can imagine machine learning driven tooling being able to automate a lot of the mechanical aspects of code writing beyond the simple generate a closing bracket that an IDE can do...
As a layman, I'd be grateful if you could enumerate on this line:
