In the HANS paper I'd point out this bit:

"we retrained each model on the MNLI training set augmented with a dataset structured exactly like HANS (i.e. using the same thirty subcases) but containing no specific examples that appeared in HANS.... In general, the models trained on the augmented MNLI performed very well on HANS"

I think it's great to find examples where language models break. But it doesn't look like they have found a fundamental problem here - just a weakness that can be fixed with "just" engineering.

I do agree there are things we don't know how to do yet. I think Chollet's "On the Measure of Intelligence" paper[1] is the best writing I've seen on this, which shows specific things that are currently hard for computers to do and give a route towards general intelligence.

Working in a nonlinear manner is the whole point of Pluto. You can modify some intermediate processing in the script and none of the upstream cells, like loading the data, will run again. I also don’t need to fish through the whole damn notebook to run all the cells my change impacts. If you really, really don’t want downstream stuff to run you can either do some of the button tricks the other comments mentioned or copy (a subset) of the data. Usually I find I want to see the results of my change on everything downstream, though.
This is the dream, honestly. Dynamic form creation from specs. PowerShell has something like it (for a function it will create you a ugly form that you can render), but if you could deliver a OpenAPI spec and have Bootstrap (or whatever) UI on the frontend automatically generated.
In response to your first paragraph, I quote Supreme Court Justice Learned Hand: “Anyone may arrange his affairs so that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which best pays the treasury. There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes.”

In response to your second paragraph, regulatory arbitrage is efficiency seeking. I'm sure you're familiar with the phrase "vote with your feet". It's not like people move to a new job out of a state or out of country with the expectations that the laws remain same. In a similar fashion, Uber isn't obligated to base it's behavior on laws or regulations that don't exist. The same could be said of Paypal, Youtube, AirBnB and more recently with cryptocurrencies and NFTs. The way you phrase your sentences seems to suggest you classify pursuing economic freedom as a preemptive regulatory evasion.

There are major federal government websites that have office hours. The EIN application website only works between 9am and 5pm. I like to imagine that it's this way because there's no webapp, there's just a team of people who get all the HTTP requests and manually respond to them. This would also explain its speed.
> A perfect language should be defined in terms of mathematical logic, of axioms and rules of inference. No reference to any computer or mechanism should be necessary to understand it. This is the basis of portability. Algol's designers saw this goal; but it is most difficult to achieve without sacrificing power of expression. Yet, any new language must be measured on the degree to which it comes close to this goal.

Um, no. Any new language must be measured on the degree to which it helps programmers to say what they need to say. Anything else is about something else than a language being a programming language.

Now, I'm sure that Wirth thinks that his definition implies helping programmers say what they want to say. He thinks one follows from the other. And, to some degree, he's right.

But I don't think he's totally right. Languages that are purely mathematical and logical can be rather clumsy when you're trying to do some things that aren't like mathematical logic. (Even SQL, which is based on the mathematics of relations, has various things in the syntax that are there for performance reasons, because the need was for something that would do the mathematics of relations in an acceptable amount of time. That "time" element is not present in any mathematical-logic-based language that I know of.)
Why is this "better"? I feel like I'm missing something.
In my opinion generating configuration from Python (or any language with a robust standard library) is still a win if it means less Ops and DevOps engineers are stringing together convoluted bash scripts that torture sed/awk/jq/yq to obscene lengths.

So anyone who has a million dollars, but still has to work because a million isn't enough to retire on, is middle class by your definition. Let's just call that a minority view of the definition of middle class...

(I can accept the definition of "rich" as "able to live off of capital, and therefore not needing to work". But there might be another layer between that and "middle class". You might call it "wealthy rather than rich" or something. Having a million in capital puts you a long way past "able to take a vacation".)

> We don't realize something important - Leetcode is a competitive programming platform at its core, not an interview platform. Yet, we fall into the trap of thinking it's an educational website.

There is a word circling China's Internet call "内卷", which can be translated directly to Involution, but on the ground it actually means "Over competition" or "Doing zero-sum competition". People trying to climb over the others while preventing others from climb over them, so they created many arbitrary obstacles to block others.

Keep in mind that, in Chinese society, 35 years old is equals to 70 years old (In many places, you cannot even get a gov job if you are over 35). Failing a competition can be really, life-changingly costly.

So, it is rather a "standard practice" for Chinese companies to keep throwing LeetCode questions to the interviewee during a job interview (, after all, many of those questions are marked by LeetCode as "Interview Questions"). This method creates a lot of benefits for the interviewer not only for the interview, but also for later negotiations.

Funny thing is, even though the top dogs in China got the best talented engineers in the entire nation, their public-facing products are still nothing but trash (or even fruaddy). And as for those engineers, many of them has their own big dreams, but they cannot realize it because the market is a highly restricted blood sea.

Having testable traces of Covid-19 in your septum is not the same thing as having Covid-19 the symptomatic disease. But it's statistically treated the same.

Flu cases have dropped because people aren't being tested for it. If health authorities instructed populations to get flu tests as aggressively as covid-19 tests, flu cases would jump again. Not complicated guys.
For the money, please identify an alternative that will accept the same contract terms, and can demonstrate the ability to compete at scale. Sometimes people need generic work done, not brilliant code written in a vacuum.
tl;dr:

> Simula created inheritance instead of using composition because it allowed their garbage collector to be simpler.

In C++, inheritance (and other OO languages I assume) is implemented as a composition and when multiple inheritance of the same class happens then the members of the twice parent is inherited twice unless the virtual keyword is used. ( in other words, if B : A, A, C then sizeof B = A + A + C + B's stuff, or if B : virtual A, virtual A, C then sizeof B = A + C + B's stuff). This is why declaring on the stack Parent parent = Child() "works" by just truncating the content of the child that was appended at the end of Parent.

Personally I like to use private inheritance as a composition shortcut since for all intent and purpose it's achieves the same goal with less boilerplate. Outside of that I do use it if it strictly follows the substitution principle with other the members of the base class being used just as much as the child's. Which happens very rarely but does happen. It's like an Allen's key, you probably won't need it except when you must disassembled your IKEA furniture when moving out.
The areas of the seafloor containing these nodules have some of the lowest sedimentation rates in the world ocean — this is why these deposits are exposed more or less at the sediment-water interface, and not buried in terrigenous sediment derived from land or surface pelagic calcifiers (plankton). Significant time in a geologically stable setting is also required for these oxides to form — their rate of formation is extremely slow.

2016 Ford Transit Connect.

I wanted to be able to haul things, and I don't like trucks or SUVs.

So I drive a big box with a gigantic panoramic moonroof and more features standard for less money (leather seats, automatic wipers and headlights, blindspot detection, backup cam, etc). I got a good deal on it since the passenger version of the Connect sells worse than a Sienna or Odyssey.
>>On the other hand, if you take away lotto tickets from everyone, including depriving yourself of the ability to buy them, because they're universally bad and also because they cause an unusually high degree of harm to those with less education, that looks more like benevolent motivation. Of course, if you didn't buy them in the first place then your sacrifice doesn't mean as much...

This point raises a third issue: should one at all submit to the whims of the crab bucket , the benevolence of its motives notwithstanding?

Excellent resources indeed.

I feel like I should also mention that I tried some bare metal embedded Rust about 2 1/2 years ago and didn't get anywhere with it.

Now I try and there's support for quite a few boards, and it's easy to get started with them. (good CLI tools, etc.)

I have the impression that the Rust ecosystem and community have progressed very rapidly in the embedded direction, and in short time.
yep... true for my family as well. While we bought some things from amazon fresh, 98% of grocery items were still purchased through local stores. Many adopted delivery model pretty early on.

as for non grocery items, there were pandemic related purchases for sure, but for my family, it was at Home Depot.

With that said though, I think the Q1 YoY revenue jump is still huge.

It's almost like we've turned yaml into some sort of primitive assembly file that must be compiled by a higher-order language. What was once created for human readability, has now turned into a machine generated and machine parsed format.
Sure, they end up looking similar, but the point is that with C++ the developer carries the burden of making sure everything is correct and doesn't prevent you or other developers from breaking outside the bounds of what is "good" - either on purpose, or accidentally, e.g. when refactoring.

With Rust, the burden of checking all of that is shifted to the compiler, and that reduces cognitive load for the developer.
The image building is actually very easy. College kids know very little about the real world, having not lived or worked in it yet. They're insanely impressionable.

All kids know is what people tell them. So McKinsey, BCG, etc. plaster their name all over ivy league campuses and sponsor events telling kids how prestigious and sexy and exclusive their work is. And the kids believe them!

Then the kids get there, and realize the job is basically spending 80 hr weeks to create badly designed powerpoint decks filled with bullshit charts and sell them to know-nothing careerists at dying legacy companies and governments.

The ones who don't become consultants themselves, go on to become future clients. Marketing to college kids is extremely undervalued IMO. Professional services firms have used that marketing playbook for hundreds of years. All the big law firms do it too.

Before the internet killed traditional advertising, Ad Agencies used to do it too and were the "it" career for many decades.

First we can start by taxing them appropriately.
The entire point of an IRB is that they have independence from the rest of the institution, so they can make decisions on ethics without coercion.

You're also ignoring that the UMN IRB never said this research was ethical. All they did was compare the experimental parameters to the definition of human subject research they were given. Since no biological specimens or personal information were being collected, they decided it was outside their jurisdiction and not their problem. Also if I recall correctly this evaluation was done retroactively after the experiment had already happened.

Good question! One of the motivations for splitting our infrastructure into clusters was to separate paying and non-paying customer. There's various reason for this, reducing the size of our failure domains and running better hardware for paying customers. However, this means users can be transitioned between clusters as they become a paying customer or back to a non-paying customer. Since repl.co subdomains are tied to the user/repl and not to the particular back-end cluster, we'd have to maintain way too many records with our existing DNS provider. Even if we could, we'd need to make sure the records are always synchronized. In the end, it made more since to roll our own authority server that can just query our data store and generate the right DNS answers on the fly.
"Jane/John Doe, eat your carrots and finish your homework before 9pm, or who knows what might happen to your interest in the family trust" is a conversation that has probably happened somewhere in history.

On a more serious note, thinly veiled threats by patriarchs to their children working in the family business regarding their eventual share in the business is something that probably happens routinely around the world, especially in areas like Europe, East Asia, South Asia, and South East Asia, with many multi-generational privately held family businesses.

unless the tupperware is completely airtight, oxygen will still leak into the container and cause oxidation. This deteriorates the bean.

The cold temperature will slow evatoration of the volatiles from the bean, but it is unstoppable.

Vaccume sealing will drastically slowdown the oxidation, but since you cannot truly get a 100% vaccume, there will still be some oxygen in the bag, which will cause oxidation anyway. It will just be a bit better than nothing.

And then unthawing the beans requires a moisture free environment (e.g, take it out of the freezer for 24hrs without unsealing it), or the beans will spoil. Once unthawed, i dont believe refreezing will work - it will just spoil it.

So yes, preserving beans' freshness is difficult, and bound to fail eventually. Might as well just pay for fresh beans, and pay for the transportation and packaging (which, i guess is the overhead, and makes buying small quantities more expensive...)
