As someone else alluded to, this is a task for multiple models. Fortunately, there are a lot of great NLP libraries that combine multiple pre-trained language models into a single pipeline you can interface with, like Stanza. From their docs, their vanilla pipeline breaks down the sentence "Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. He was elected president in 2008." as :

('Barack', '4', 'nsubj:pass')

('Obama', '1', 'flat')

('was', '4', 'aux:pass')

('born', '0', 'root')

('in', '6', 'case')

('Hawaii', '4', 'obl')

('.', '4', 'punct')

It should be very easy to deploy Stanza's pipeline as an API endpoint. Here is an example of such a NLP-library-as-API endpoint, albeit with Hugging Face's Transformers, deployed via Cortex: https://github.com/cortexlabs/cortex/blob/master/examples/py...

That's only really an alternative for long-running applications since it still seems quite tedious to do if I am not missing anything (with modifying initial_program and all).

Right now the workflow is simply ssh -X machine and then run some scripts that may or may not open interactive windows and then look at the result files using some graphical application.
The same as if I was running it locally really (except on a beefy machine)..

You should speak to some more Geologists then. We really don't understand the systems of our planet and we are currently sticking a big spanner into them. Many of us are more concerned than we can publish - precisely because we don't want to scaremonger.

Will the Earth definitely turn into an out of control hothouse with a Venus - like climate? Very probably not there are many differences between Earth and Venus.

Can we be sure than some positive feedback mechanism might make life as we know it untenable on Earth? I'm not sure myself and I don't think anyone can know.

I read the book first and was deeply disappointed in the movie. They could have done so much more. Instead they spent like half an hour on dumb fight scenes which are only a couple pages in the book. I can't enjoy it just because of how much they cut out. For those that haven't read the book, here's an example:

When Deckard Cain meets Rachael for the first time, she has an owl, and she claims it's real. He says "I thought they were extinct." She says no, you just can't buy them on the open market. He then tests his humanity detector on her, which she fails. They explain that she grew isolated on a spaceship leaving Earth which turned around and came home after the war, so she grew up without a sense of empathy. He is horrified to learn his detector may be flawed, and he may have killed real humans thinking they were androids. They then offer him the owl to cover it up. He finally realizes that they're lying and she's an android after all. He then says "And the owl?" "It's robotic, of course. Owls are extinct."

In the movie? He shows up and says "Nice owl, is it robotic?" Rachael goes "Yup, and so am I". Welp, there goes like 50 of the best pages of the book.

Another example, which really shows just how unnecessarily shallow the movie is: in the book, Rachael and Pris are identical model androids, and sex with androids is forbidden. The whole conflict Deckard experiences is based on the fact that he becomes infatuated with Rachael: not only is it extremely taboo, but his feelings start to interfere with his mission of killing her identical twin Pris. In the movie? Completely different replicants, and Pris is a standard-issue sex-bot. There's just no internal conflict at all.

Seriously people, read this book. It is fantastic.
Unless I’m mistaken, Grammarly processes everything you type on their servers. It’s an internet-enabled keylogger.
I have come to the conclusion that the number of MR’s during a sprint is not a insightful metric.

Primarily because the functionality targeted for being completed by the MR can vary so greatly.

Regarding time MR’s take to merge? I don’t think trying to get the number “lower” is the goal. Probably best to say, we’ve agreed to an SLA of x days. Anything over Y days is a big red flag.

Thanks for sharing- not trying to come across as negative. I totally agree metrics should be included in retro’s ... it’s adjacent to what I’m working on.

I’m just convinced that a lot of product/project management metrics have “no meat on the bones” or aren’t really concrete at the end of the day - vanity metrics.
A big problem with this documentation is that it's not with the rest of the docs and isn't found in search on golang.org.

The docs provide enough to make modules work but are far from excellent in terms of docs.

These docs also highlight things about how the Go team thinks. For example, if a project is versioned at v2 or later they recommend incrementing the major version of your code when adopting modules. Instead of modules being support tooling for the app it's designed and thought of as important as a major version change.

Query for all texts that lack a translation: this is the default behavior in the translation interface.

Bulk export/import: there's an API and a CLI client for it. You can also make it automatically pull new strings to translate from a git repo. (Not sure whether it has to be public, in our case it is.)

Track the source: for changes made through the web UI, this happens automatically. If you use the API, changes will be attributed to the account associated with the API key.

Query outdated translations: those are treated as untranslated. But if the change in the source text was small, you'll get the old translation as a suggestion and can adapt it.

Downsides: not open source, free plan has limitations (but it's enough for our project), some questionable UI choices (I recently had to explain to someone how to join the translation team for an additional language, because the link is extremely tiny)
I strongly suggest you throw those supplies in the trash. You can re obtain them if really needed. As it is, you are one bad day from taking an action that (based on populato statistical evidence) you will most likely immediately regret but cannot undo.
I don't underestimate what you can do -- I saw the LEGO sorter. That's nothing short of amazing.

But I am surprised at the attitude of "this automated system will continue to function". It's never been true in connected systems that care about security, and it's only true for limited timelines for independent systems. In the long run, everything decays.
NoScript blocking all of the javascript resulted in no ads, and no jumping text.
Eh. I don't get it. There have been so many postings and comments here on HN and elsewhere about how the cloud is NOT cheap, how they saw they burnt money there, and saved large amounts by doing it for themselves. Not to mention vendor lock in.

> What are the realistic odds that someone internally at Amazon is going to break into your instances to look at your data if you're just a regular business?

I mean, there's this: https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-scooped-up-data-from-its...

> The online retailing giant has long asserted, including to Congress, that when it makes and sells its own products, it doesn’t use information it collects from the site’s individual third-party sellers—data those sellers view as proprietary.

> Yet interviews with more than 20 former employees of Amazon’s private-label business and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveal that employees did just that. Such information can help Amazon decide how to price an item, which features to copy or whether to enter a product segment based on its earning potential, according to people familiar with the practice, including a current employee and some former employees who participated in it.

If you're a regular business and Amazon doesn't want to launch a new hosted product competing with you, then maybe you're safe. But if they want your data, why not just take it while repeatedly insisting that they don't?
> You cannot guarantee this. The bird could decide to fly directly down the beam path and there's nothing you can do.

This sounds like the kind of thing that is technically possible but in practical probability a once in a millennium event
I tried dep for a project of mine and could never even get it to the point of doing anything useful. Conversely go mod took about three minutes to migrate to and was super straightforward.

I am very happy that they did not adopt dep, it was in no way ready (and I don't think it was going to significantly improve given more time).

I remember being extremely spiteful when I first got attacked in Civ.

I didn't just wipe them off the map; I first found a tiny one tile island near one of the poles with a couple of resources around. I then forced them to take ownership of the island in a war and then in subsequent wars took all of their other cities.

I then spent the remainder of the game leaving 2 privateer units (the only unit which can pillage unprovoked) destroying any fishing boats which left their now-capital. Every so often I would just gift them technology knowing that their capital wouldn't be able to make use of it. This happened for over 700 years before the game ended.

In other words, I kept a civilization around just to punish them for a minor transgression of their ancestors. I like to believe I am a kind and compassionate person...
I wonder if Grant feels lucky to get to work with MIT. MIT is obviously an amazing school but I really feel like they are the lucky ones.

> The world is a strange place right now and I often wonder if the people of generations past felt equally out of place in the various turmoils of their time.

I think they did.. Not going too far back, I've heard tales from within the music sphere about much of the wanton drink/drug/smoke/sex culture and its general tie to the persistent feeling that the world was on the brink of nuclear war and collapse, and the lack of any feeling of control or ability to navigate it. Sadly, some didn't survive that, but they didn't presume they would anyway—just figured that something else would get them first.

Some grew older and maybe more wise and calm. Others grew older and more cynical and some of those are responsible or at least benefiting from our current set of turmoils.

The scenario of the gay biker is much more likely to get the desired message across to the intended audience than a letter. If the family or friends that visited his empty home were hostile to gays or deemed it inappropriate, they may have just quietly concealed the letter.

Christopher Hitchens published an article shortly before his demise to reassure people of his views on atheism, lest any clergy or family get the urge to fabricate the good news of his deathbed conversion. For those of us that aren't writers for Vanity Fair a service like this could be useful.
Starbucks is not limited to İstanbul, they are in every major metro. I've been in Starbucks in İzmir, Ankara, and Kayseri, and I try to avoid Starbucks. And if crowds are any thing to go by, they are doing quite well for a very expensive place in a land of endless tea and coffee shops.
The first thing I notice is the poor English and many grammar errors which make the site look very amateurish and leads me to instantly close the tab. I would suggest using a grammar-checking tool.

For example, even the hero text has mistakes:
"Get feedbacks from your customers" , feedback is uncountable or not commonly used in its plural form, it should be "Get feedback from your customers".
I can't put my finger on it, but this really upsets me for some reason. I think, maybe, it's because any game that purports to be Kafkaesque should be unwinnable?

It looks like they mostly drove the price down by reducing functionality. There are no "fancy" interfaces like UART or i2c. There's only 64 bytes of RAM. The chips are one-time programmable which is cheaper than flash memory, and there's only 512 bytes of program space. The CPU is pretty limited too - it doesn't even have an instruction to multiply two numbers. There's no debugging interface on the chip, instead you buy a simulator device that behaves like the chip, but has reprogrammable memory and a debugging interface.

It all adds up, or in this case it doesn't, and what's left is a pretty inexpensive chip.
there are actors who excel in the status quo through virtue of said quo lauding their strengths (here, putting on a good face during sync communication) alongside basic competency in other skills (having a bare minimum capability outside their face fronting forte)

when that status quo slips away, it exposes those who were merely charlatans acting the lauded part (putting on a good facade face while lacking depth in teh actual capabilities society and organizations rely on, simply fronting a good appearance)--the changes uncovers those who failed to put forth the front out of ignorance of or disdain for it. it raises those whose true strengths mattered more all along, but to which broader culture was blind to, having long lost its way tacking too hard towards praising the facade, assuming it implied the foundation

fires burn away some moss; the hardwood remains--it was always there, but now we get to see it, and further see that some of the most elegant fungus was naught but a large clump of mold growing upon itself alone, without much underneath

Personal 4th reason: My mind keeps going back to this when I think I want to try Emacs again

> [Every dynamic module] should also export a symbol named plugin_is_GPL_compatible to indicate that its code is released under the GPL or compatible license; Emacs will signal an error if your program tries to load modules that don't export such a symbol.

The viral nature of the GPL already bothers me. Emacs trying to enforce that I'm only running GPL compatible code is even worse.
Sadly, this doesn't exist yet.

You will find that most Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools conceptualize linguistic categories differently
from how teachers do (language teaching isn't linguistics,
there are often simplifications happening, and schoolbooks
get updated more slowly than linguistics evolves).

Examples:

* English verbs have only two tenses: PAST or NONPAST.
They can have PERFECTIVE aspect or not. They can have PROGRESSIVE aspect or not. Since these are 3 binary choices, there are at least 8 different ways how English verbs can be realized. I think there'd be less confusion in school if a more linguistically correct version was taught that separates out tense and aspects.

* "Future" or "Present Perfect" (something I still got taught in school) don't exist for a proper linguist.

To build what you suggest, existing tools could be combined, but there would have to be a mapping layer on top of syntactic parsers like Charniak Parser, Collins parser or MaltParser. Another mis-match between grammar in school and linguistics is single versus multiple theories: in school, people usually teach constituent trees, whereas in linguistics phrase structure (constituent) grammar is one theory among many, one alternative (valency and dependency grammar) that does not rely on trees but focuses on the relations between words has recently gained a lot of traction in linguistic circles.
I don't know if this is really as obvious as you suggest. If you grow up near a volcano (see for example modern day active volcanoes in Indonesia or Etna and Stromboli in Italy), you will be used to some degree of rumbling and smoke and ashes spewing. So this might be regarded as a normal occurrence. Until it's too late, of course.
This is where "technical writer" profession shines, I know companies who have technical writing teams do excellent job there, but if we leave it for busy coders, that's what we got in the end.
Thanks. It is really helpful.
Google Analytics can't provide the search queries either, they can only be accurately seen, as aggregated data in the Google Search Console.
Meaning is a human concept. Life has no meaning unless you define it yourself. For some people, having children and becoming part of something bigger, a family, is what gives meaning to their lives. Belonging and being part of a group, whether it's family or something else, is almost a universal need for humans, and therefore, a common requisite for meaningfulness in one's life.

While I feel similarly to you sometimes, and I will never have children because I can't accept the risk of them suffering as much as I did, and there are already lots of kids in orphanages who can't be unborn so I'd rather try to help them instead, there's a ton of people who is happy to be alive and believes their kids will be too. And in many cases they are right, so I guess we should try to not project meaningless into other people's lives.

So, try to define meaningfulness for your own life. If the world we live in is a problem, you don't need to change it completely, sometimes finding a small corner suitable for you just works. If there are other problems deeper within yourself, therapists can be helpful. They might not change your life, but they are likely to change at least something in the way you see your life. If there's no meaning in your life, you might as well get creative and try to invent it. Might even be more interesting than your day job.
No, you just tag a v2 release like "git tag v2.0.0" and ensure your module path has a /v2. That's not hard.

Thank you for the correction, I knew that but for some reason my brain spit out sector copy. Sorry about that. It is similar to what they are doing with LD and tapping pretty much right off the laser pickup. Woz is more of a filtered format after they toss out all of the extra junk doing a flux copy picks up. The LD guys are doing something similar. The pics are cool too because you can see how the devs were laying out the tracks and sectors to get a bit more perf out of the drives. I would have linked myself but this place I work does not let me at most of the emu sites.
I suggest you trust the authors to know best when it comes to teaching programming. Sounds like you're worried it will be too hard for her. It might be. Non-programmers have lots of romantic ideas about what they think programming is. But the only way to know whether someone possesses any talent in it is to try it. I tried to teach one of my ex-girlfriends to program but I could tell before long that she didn't have the gift so encouraged her to do other things.

Arguably another feature that could use some shouting from the rooftops. I see it fairly rarely from public packages, and it's something a lot of public packages really ought to have. Little example snippets for specific functions are great, but round-trip, top-to-bottom examples of using your code base are very useful.
Yeah, OCaml's docs are FAR worse as they're often just type signatures. I'm also not a fan of Oracle's Java docs as they do explain what each method does, but often in a rather opaque way. Where Elixir and Kotlin get things right, is they tend to also give quick examples of how one might use any given method.
Cool question. I've always wanted to record an album, I'd do that. Music, vocals, mixing, mastering, prepare some visuals to go with it. Invite some other people to join in where they could.
I'm not sure what you mean by only thought experiments. There's lots of history of cartels falling apart, monopolies being broken; or very often also: monopolies being upheld by the government, and sometimes supposed anti-trust law being used to keep out the competition.

Lots of the laws mentioned in the Wikipedia article you linked to are pretty anticompetitive. Eg

> Under Diocletian, in 301 AD an Edict on maximum prices established a death penalty for anyone violating a tariff system, for example by buying up, concealing or contriving the scarcity of everyday goods.

Or just next:

> It provided for property confiscation and banishment for any trade combinations or joint action of monopolies private or granted by the Emperor. Zeno rescinded all previously granted exclusive rights.[4] Justinian I also introduced legislation not long after to pay officials to manage state monopolies.

It's all about government enforced monopolies.

On the more positive side: have a look at eg Herbert Dow and the breaking of the German Bromine Cartel. (Eg via https://fee.org/articles/herbert-dow-and-predatory-pricing/ or look at any other article you can find on that.)

Or George Selgin's Good Money (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3392302-good-money) about an episode in the English Industrial Revolution when the private sector minted coins because the government monopoly was inept.
