"The information you'd need to choose is included in there. If you're doing this professionally, you should strive to have enough of a high-level understanding of NLP to be able to make these decisions without having a rubric handed to you on a silver platter.
In a nutshell, though: Strive to use the simplest model that will get the job done. Less elaborate models are easier to understand and (usually) less prone to things like overfitting, so they'll be more tractable to work with in a business context. To that end: Use a convolutional net when you can get away with a small, fixed-size context window. Use an LSTM when you need long-term memory. Attention can be expensive, so you use it when you have cause to believe you can gain a lot by giving selective attention to features, and have both a lot of training data and a lot of computing resources.

It's also worth considering that you might be best off going with none of these options. Cool as deep learning is, I've personally never actually been able to justify using it in a professional setting. Simpler models such as logistic regression and decision trees have characteristics that are near-useless for getting you to the top of a Kaggle leaderboard, but can be indispensable when working on many real-world business problems"

I almost gave up the work on http://sirix.io. But somehow still motivated to bring forth the idea of a versioned storage system capable of supporting temporal, analytical tasks. That is storing and querying snapshots of data in O(log n). Still, sometimes it's frustrating to spend so much spare time and probably noone is using it. More than once I thought why am I doing it, but somehow it struck me back then in the university and I loved the project. And hey, it was a lot of fun to build an asynchronous, RESTful-API in Vert.x and Kotlin now, and maybe it's going to help someone once I build the JSON layer besides XML (shouldn't be that much work after all). In essence it's just which records we are going to be stored.

But sorry, didn't mean to advertise...

The problem is, unless you donate or find someone to sponsor you, you don't actually get shell access; you get some very limited BBS functionality. And even once you do donate to get the basic access level, there are a number of basic programs (like Python and a C compiler) that aren't executable without getting a higher access level.

Eh? It takes a minute of dropping in on com to get someone to verify you, and after that you have access to everything in the 'basic' user level -- which does indeed give you access to compilers and the like.

Yes, exactly. Blockchain startups are started by true believers in blockchain. Starting a blockchain startup is massively self-selecting for the truest of the true believers. If you didn’t believe in crypto you wouldn’t create a crypto startup.

Telling a crypto startup owner to sell all their crypto, and then wondering why on earth they didn’t take your advice, is equivalent to telling an evangelist Christian to abandon their faith and then wondering why on earth they didn’t take your advice.

Money is a religion, and CRYPTO IS A RELIGION within that religion. Crypto’s value comes from its buyers, and it’s buyers buy it because they take a religious leap of faith that its value will increase.

So when you tell a crypto startup owner to sell all his/her crypto.... you pretty much offend them on the deepest possible level. You’re not just criticizing their business model, you're attacking their core beliefs and deepest religious convictions , you’re revealing yourself as a heretic and questioning their faith in Saint Nakomoto and no zealot likes that.
- New program writers (more writing)

- Old program maintainers (more reading)

- Language implementers

You leave out the 3rd and conflate the second. Others have conceive of PLs as some sort of bargain between human and machine, or human and pure math. Either way, there's multiple interests at stake.

Or, even simpler, what if Rust becomes way harder to learn, but mastery gives one correspondingly way more productivity? Is that a fair trade in your eyes? (I do not believe in practice it will become way harder to learn, but I accept the situation I describe as fair and not a failure of Rust).

-----

You may not write it directly, but you will still think about it. Again the IR of these good languages is like some platonic ideal that sacrifices concision of programs for concision of the language. It is not just an inplementation detail.

Hell, if you insist on thinking that is just some crufty implementation detail, sure. But then let me show you how it's an abstraction that leaks badly, hahaha.

- "Non lexical lifetimes" are probably the most anticipated Rust change lately (see rest of thread). But crucially, they are lexical at the level of MIR. The easiest way to precisely define them is desugar to an explicit control flow language. Otherwise you are forced to look at the a combinatorial explosion of surface-level constructs, or just handwave based in the intuition of control flow.

- https://github.com/thepowersgang/mrustc/tree/master/src/mir this is the alternative Rust implementation's MIR. It's pretty close to the same thing! (Not so with LLVM IR and GCC's RTL.) If mrustc gets to implementing NLLs, it will probably get even closer.

- mrustc does not implement old borrow checking probably because it's sort of an arbitrary spec against the surface syntax. Surface syntax is much more boilerplate to go through all the cases, and while old lifetimes may have a simple enough rough intuition, they are very arbitrary when considered precisely.

And yes, the core language can change underneath the hood, but this is highly unlikely in practice. GHC's core has certainly changed, but this is evolution more than revolution.

I think the heart of what I'm saying is two things:

1. Formal reasoning is the only way to constrain complexity. Humans alone inevitably don't fully graps the entire thing (it's just too big!), and even when they do don't have identical mental models. The results is always contradictory design if any change at all is permitted.

2. Human PLs have lots of conveniences and other fluff (yes, even Scheme, Nix, or your other favorite minimalist language), so the only efficient way to reason about them formally is by desugaring to a core language.
Also, I am an nvi/ed user, and I'd recommend yasr(1) for the blind, but, man, disabled people having a highly integrated textual env with sound icons, I can't just do nothing but to applaud them for the efforts.
Yes, we will, and that will hopefully lead to a more important conversation about what the priorities of a society's medical system should really be, or how a society should prioritize funding medical services if you want to take a different approach.
It'd depend on industry. We wouldn't suddenly lose the technological advancements of the last 40 years - we'd still have cheap TVs, cheap computers, mobile phones, the Internet, etc.

However, sectors where productivity hasn't risen that fast - like health care, elder care, mental health services, natural resources, etc. - will encounter sharply rising prices as there are too few workers to provide services to everyone who needs them. The market is a way of allocating resources to those who are willing to pay the most - so those with resources will still be able to afford them, but will end up liquidating a lot of their investments for it, while those without assets will just have to go without. In the process, the exodus of cash from financial markets to health & elder care will drag down asset prices in general. It'll be a good time to put money into the market, but a bad time to have money already in it.

I have my photos and videos on a ZFS personal NAS at home, backed up independently to two external hard drives(secondary backup). The plan was to use recline to backup the ZFS NAS to Backblaze B2, but that bit is not setup yet.

>Shit happens, theft, floods, fires, other natural disasters, etc... And in those cases it's somewhat common for the user to lose their phone (with the 2nd factor app on it), as well as their backup codes.
>Sure, a game might be able to get away with saying "sorry, you lost your 2fa and backup, so you are SOL" (the user won't be happy, but it's not the end of the world), but for a bank account? For a utility company? For your email account? Telling the user "so sorry you are fucked" is a very bad thing, and could even be illegal in some cases.

In some cases you might be able to get away with using waiting periods. You can establish like a month or so and ask them to re-request after that with a recovery code you give them when they first make a request.

If nobody accesses the account in that time, you can have a bit more confidence that the request is legitimate and the account owner really has lost their credentials. And then when they re-request with their recovery code that's the authorization to start the reset.

In some cases you could tide them over with a temporary account that has limited privileges for the duration of the waiting period that can be merged back into the original account once its unlocked. You could probably even do some analysis behavior in the temp account to see how well it matches up with points of contact, frequency of use, word choice, location, etc. on the main account.

I wouldn't trust that for a bank or a primary email, you really need to verify identity for that. But for a utility company it might be ok.
And anyways, my understanding is that whaling was not a traditional practice. At least not in the amounts it is done today.

Wardrobe is awesome because it allows you to rent one-of-a-kind items directly from other people like you. The cleaners pick-up process is seamless too. Sure Rent the Runway is in this market but it's super expensive and ordinary stuff that you can get anywhere. It's much better when you can actually know the story behind an item.
I’m skeptical. There are lots of companies that top ML experts turn their nose at (Salesforce, Amazon) and I can’t imagine that IBM would attract better people than that.

I do not draw a line in kingdom either, that would be every bit as absurd and arbitrary as drawing a line on species or race. In practice, I end up eating only members of plant kingdom, but that is just a fortuitous artifact, not the result of drawing a line at 'kingdom'.

I seek to avoid causing suffering (I'm an utilitarian, but you don't necessarily have to be utilitarian to try to prevent suffering). Q: What entities can suffer? A: Sentient beings, by definition of sentience.
In particular, animals that we usually kill, do suffer (but not necessarily every individual belonging to that kingdom does). Carrots do not (but if in the future we discovered an individual of another kingdom that suffered as much as a pig on a slaughterhouse, I wouldn't eat him either, being there so many other options).

Depends on the milk. Whole milk keeps longer than 2% or skim, for example.
There were too many warnings already. That was the problem. More warning could not have helped. Instead, the fact that the pitot tube was inoperable should not have led to so many alarms, just one, and not an urgent one since the autopilot could have kept the throttle at its current setting. (Air speed is independent of land speed, and it's much more important to know the airspeed than the land speed, but wind speed is not going to fluctuate so much, so land speed can be used as a proxy for airspeed in that situation, and anyways there wasn't anything to be done about the lack of airspeed indication in that situation.)

Ebay seems to have some currently.
Check the temperature of where you keep the milk. Some parts of the fridge are warmer than others. Lots of fridges now have spots for milk in the door, but that's probably the warmest spot. Move it to the top back where the cold comes from the freezer if your fridge is like mine.
As I said, I don’t think they’re actually charging that much — negotiation with insurance is expected, with like 80% reductiond to initial price. They’re still paid very well ofc, but I think complaining about the high initial bills itself is a red herring, because no one involved expects that amount to actually materialize

I've been pondering a trusted network using shamir secret sharing for this case - where you can rely on other parties to hold the secret key and call on them. For example, origin player loses 2FA to system A, origin player calls out to their immediate backup personnel (origin player sets limit of how many are required to recover secret). Each backup personnel can say OK - sending partial to system A, once enough have been sent the secret is recovered. Complex, and time in-detriment, and still prone to failure or breach of trust.

I mean, our copyright laws are full of weird seeming-contradictions. Games companies pay to license an athlete's likeness, but photographers don't? Photographs of a sculpture are copyright-protected, but photographs of tattoos aren't? Architecture with an expired copyright can be lit up with lights to regain copyright protection?

Copyright law isn't really amenable to deducing that one thing is legal just because another very similar thing is legal.

Even with new features, node chooses to do things differently. Take worker threads for instance. Node added worker support much later than the browser, and chose to mysteriously use an API that's significantly different.

I wish interop with the browser becomes more Central for upcoming features. Where the browser is lacking, node can supplement, but to supplant those APIs is just inconvenient

It would almost make sense to me if Mars was originally "earth" and we are trying to do a root cause analysis on what went wrong because our escape ships didn't have enough historical data or the data was damaged.

> It's only "Okay" to not deliver on non-client facing services. Anything else is an unmeasurable risk

I disagree. The ability to handle data loss comes from the nature of the data, not whether it is client-facing or not. Banking transactions can almost never handle message loss, whether it is client-facing or not. On the other hand, a meal notification service could drop one or two messages and still work properly.
