The abstract is unclear. They should have clearly explained what is the “list wise reranking problem”. In my mind it is: given a query and a list of passages, rank the passages in order of relevance to the query.
Is that what the “list wise” means?

All schema languages are a bit like that. You can almost always add another layer on top of the validation and screw down the validation a bit harder. The strictest validation will only be achievable using a turing complete language.

OpenAPI is probably used a bit more than json schema, but it's contextually limited to APIs (which, to be fair, is mostly what JSON is used for).
> Americans and their "muh freedom of speech" comments are the funniest thing ever,

be careful with comments that tend to assume things.

i'm not american, don't live in america. the comment was about Europe and their "free speech", which in effect is much less "free" than in the US.

major differences between the US and EU when it comes to "free speech":

Absolute vs. Qualified Right:

US: The First Amendment offers strong protection against government censorship. While there are limitations (e.g., incitement to imminent lawless action, obscenity, certain kinds of hate speech), the U.S. generally offers wider latitude for free speech compared to many other countries.

EU: The right to freedom of expression in the EU is a qualified right. Article 10 of the ECHR itself provides that the exercise of this freedom "may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society." Reasons can include interests of national security, territorial integrity, public safety, preventing disorder or crime, health or morals, or the protection of the rights and reputations of others.

Hate Speech:

US: Hate speech, unless it directly incites violence or imminent harm, is generally protected by the First Amendment. However, this protection does not extend to private institutions or platforms which can set their own speech regulations.

EU: Hate speech is less tolerated in the EU, and many member states have laws that criminalize speech that incites violence, hatred, or discrimination based on characteristics such as race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation, and more.

Libel and Defamation:

US: To win a defamation case, public figures must prove that the statement was false and that it was made with "actual malice" – meaning the person knew it was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.

EU: Defamation laws vary among EU member states, but the threshold for proving defamation is generally lower than in the U.S., especially for private individuals.

Limitations and Restrictions:

US: Limitations on speech often relate to time, place, and manner rather than content. There are also laws against obscenity, child pornography, false advertising, and speech that incites imminent harm.

EU: The EU and its member states have implemented various laws that can restrict speech for reasons including public order, morals, and protection of individual reputation.

Digital Platforms:

US: Private digital platforms (e.g., social media sites) are not bound by the First Amendment and can set their own content policies.

EU: The EU has been more proactive in regulating digital platforms, such as enforcing the right to be forgotten or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). There is also more emphasis on combating fake news and misinformation.

Cultural Differences:

Cultural and historical contexts drive some of these differences. For instance, Europe's experience with fascism and hate-driven ideologies in the 20th century has influenced its stricter stance on hate speech.
Indeed. It is slightly misleading at first glance. But the author has stated that it is incomplete. ZITADEL(https://zitadel.com/), for example, pretty much checks almost all the boxes.
Are electric vehicles greener than combustion engine cars?
Do electric vehicles (EVs) really represent a more eco-friendly option given their absence of polluting emissions, despite the environmental concerns regarding the disposal of their batteries? Is this trade-off ecologically worthwhile?

You don't need to be near the car while it's charging, so usually EVs are charged while they're parked.

There could be a charger at your work, or in a shopping mall, at a hotel. You keep the car plugged while it's parked, and it doesn't take more of your time than 30 seconds it takes to plug and unplug. You can be elsewhere working/shopping/sleeping.

In some countries there are already laws that require new parking lots to have chargers. I know the infrastructure isn't there yet, but if we imagine 100% people having EVs, there will be enormous demand for it, and having plugs in parking lots will be the standard.
The Anyscale team shared how you can achieve considerable speedups for model loading in production with examples on the Llama 2 variants.
What? A metric hour is 144 standard minutes - or do you imagine that a day of metric hours is 1441010 = 144,000 standard minutes long?

A tenth of a metric hour is 14.4 standard minutes. A hundredth of a standard hour is 1.44 minutes. Being 0.01 metric hours late, or 1 metric minute late, is not too much more than being 1 standard limit late.

And current time is specified to 6 digits for second precision - hours, minutes, and seconds.
I had tinnitus many years ago for maybe a year. It eventually went away on its own. I had been abusing my ears and when I stopped it eventually died out. One thing I learned, it’s not just how loud sounds are coming to your ear, it’s also doing things like overwearing of earplugs that distance your eardrums from sounds and cause it to do something similar to turning the gain up on a mic.
How would you use your "perception" to identify if there are more jobless, homeless, and bankruptcies?
Love this, reminded me of the Yamaha MT100 I had as a teen - well before I got into using my first DAW. The name of that DAW I've never been able to remember - it was on a Mac Classic...

I've noticed two things when it comes to inspiration / creativity (around music, but probably other creative endeavours) which are both sort of connected to this piece and the comments:

1. You need some kind of workflow that removes as much friction as possible. I know when writing music that ideas are extraordinarily fragile. You have to sort of tease them out like a wild, untamed animal hiding in the bushes - if you move too quickly in one direction, look the other way or go in the wrong direction then it just disappears. This is what I've really loved about Ableton (vs other DAWs) - it is so quick to just "get going": drop on an instrument, push record - done.

2. Simplicity - and in fact, positive lack of options and input methods - is so often lost in this (granted - amazing!) world of endless VSTs, synths, mics, desks, etc. I know too many musicians who spend all their time fiddling with the gear (I'm guilty too..) and not doing the really important thing which is laying down ideas and building on them. One specific thing I've really noticed using Ableton Note (the amazing but very limited iOS app) is that for me (as a 40+ year pianist) is that not having a (proper) keyboard interface and instead using a grid to input notes actually really helps me - and the reason it helps is that it prevents me from falling back into familiar, known shapes of chords, notes, progressions - and the consequence is that I'm writing weird stuff that I never would have written with a keyboard.

In short: simplicity and limitation can be extraordinarily inspiring!
Limitations force you to explore deep. You don't learn how to make one tool work well when there are 1000 more to try. A couple settings and move onto a different effect means you don't learn what this effect can do in all combinations of settings, and you won't even remember you have it as an option when you get around to recording and it would fit. Pros who record all day should know a lot in depth, but it takes years to develop the sense of what effect would be good and how to use it. So for someone who isn't an expert a couple good choices lets us focus on the art.
I think it's always a good idea to be building things outside of work (if you enjoy it). If you want to build a side hustle, then even better.

I used to build a lot of projects after (and before) work. I had over 100 projects before I built my first successful side hustle (which is now my sole income, > $2MM).

I can't imagine going back to working for a company. I was an engineering manager and working my way up the company, but it's not for me.

vtables are attributes for pointers. hypergraphs (as used in some tagging systems) have attributes on everything, including attributes. CBOR has optional type-tags on its items.

The proper solution to the problems that the author is complaining about is to delete all of their social media accounts, everywhere rather than sign up to yet another one.
It's kind of like if you were reading an article about cleaning furniture and half way down it talks about the virtues of silicone waxing and then provides an example of "new improved Pledge furniture cleaner". The reader would be somewhat taken aback and might wonder if they were being marketed to.
Ah, that's a really interesting approach. With JavaScript and Python, you re-run the code or re-start the server or refresh the page (there's no compile step), but I've way too frequently run into type errors in project both small and large (but especially larger ones). I've also found it significantly harder to understand code written by other (i.e. to understand or know what the structure of objects being passed around is)--my solution often was to use a debugger and set a breakpoint and inspect the structure of the object (of course, this was experientially a lot more cumbersome than using a statically typed language), but is the idea with CL kind of similar, in that you sort of inspect the program while it runs, but you also have a JVM HotSwap like capability?
I contributed to a project using this, once. I decided that unless I’m highly invested, it’s just not worth the hassle.
I had it and it went away after a few months. I think it was from listening to my over ear headphones too loudly to drain out some construction noise while wfh for a month.
Wow this is beautiful. The artwork rivals even modern retro games.
If it was so long ago, it likely predates git, and was more painful than it is now.

(Git was introduced in 2005, while Linux was first released in 1991; fourteen years separate them.)
I don't know what your point is, but the USA also spends tenfold on infrastructure per km with vastly worse results, and has the highest spend on healthcare per capita, with one of the worst outcomes in the developed world. So just spending more doesn't mean much.

No, this is communism. /s

In DE i had to pay to throw away my old tires. And no, the local recycling center will not take them even if you pay, so you need to search for companies which would take them (usually tire dealers).
Ideally, adding an LSP would just be adding a file path to your editor config. This file could contain standard info like supported file extensions, the executable of the LSP, and the parameters to pass the executable. You could also disable/ignore certain features. And, this file would have a common format across all IDEs.
The latest Macbook Pro has 24 hours of battery life and is a powerful laptop. It's not the thinnest laptop, but it's not bad, how thin do you really need it to be? To me the overhead of replacing one machine with two wouldn't be worth it for development on the go, but if you enjoy building desktops that's different and may be worth it to you.

I got tinnitus a few years ago and the only thing which reliably helped was drumming my fingers on the back of my head, just above the neck. It silenced the ringing for a few minutes.

However, the annoyance went away by itself after a few years. If I focus I might be able to hear it still, but it's hard to tell.
There are a lot of benefits provided specifically to people with disabilities because of this sort reasoning.

It’s more difficult for those of us who don’t see a wide spectrum of it up close to understand, but to individuals with the kinds of disabilities that impair mobility, the world is a shockingly different place. Sometimes leveling that playing field is best accomplished by eating the cost of a variable.

It’s difficult to imagine but some people are (for example) vulnerable to getting physically stranded in place just because a battery died. Not in terms of going without (for example) Uber, but being unable to physically move through the world the way it was built to move through. All the while cognitively being no more or less different than anyone else, and having to navigate life like that every day.
I had a customer complain that they had to pay an hourly charge for a managed service we provide even when they’re not using it (they can shut it down if they so desire). It’s been a challenging couple weeks. :)
Well the ten pounds still exists either way. You'd have to argue that there's more utility in Bentham owning the £10 than the mugger owning the £10, and that the difference in utility between them is greater than the utility of a finger.

I imagine you could define utility that way, but presumably the mugger could increase the cost (two fingers? an arm?) until the argument works. Also, if you do definite a utility function like that (say, "there is more utility in this £10 being mine rather than yours than the utility of your arm") then that's a pretty questionable morality.
I was initially skeptical about whether it violated his wishes. I thought they found unpublished stories. Then someone in his camp posted on Twitter that they were early, previously published stories - not the unfinished ones he didn’t want to see the light of day. And that he had been making efforts to republish his early works in the years before his passing.
I always throw the Sally puzzle to any new model I try:

Sally, a girl, has 3 brothers. Each brother had 2 sisters. How many sisters does Sally have?

I’ve tried this on mistral, zephyr, llama variants. None of them get it right. Zephyr (on the HF demo page) shows me half a page of discussion and comes up with 8.
Even gpt3.5 says 6, which is the most common answer among models.

Only GPT4 gets it right as far as I’ve seen.

I’ve heard a Mistral GPTQ variant gets it right but I haven’t found an easy way to run it.

If anyone found a local model that gets it right, please tell me exactly which one and how to run it!
> Take for example night sight or astrophotography

Oh speaking of astrophotography. It occured to me that all those pretty images of remote planets and nebulas have been doctored to hell and back.

What I don't know is where I can find space images that show the visible spectrum - i.e. what I'd see if i managed to travel there and look out the window.

Is there such a thing?
Tinnitus is not a disease, it is a symptom. Do you know the underlying condition? If not this should be your priority. It is not easy to have a clear diagnostic when the only symptom is tinnitus (often associated with hearing loss). Some otorhinolaryngologists are satisfied with the diagnostic of "sudden hearing loss", which is catchall for "I don't know". Don't let yourself be fooled by this and search for better doctors.

If you are lucky enough to have a diagnostic, then the priority is to treat the disease. This may alleviate the hearing loss and sometimes the tinnitus. In some cases tinnitus may completely disappear (for example in the case of a viral infection affecting the auditory nerve). But often tinnitus remains and you have to live with it. Anyway having a diagnostic is in itself a relief.

If you do not have a diagnostic, I guess you have to learn to live with it. It may be more difficult in this case. After all it is not the end of the world. Many things are worse than this. It can be hard to sleep at times. Doing sport improves sleep. It can be hard to hear people during meetings. Sometimes you will have to ask them to repeat. You can seat closer to the main speaker. You can prefer to connect remotely with a good headset.

I have a disease of the hear which for sure won't improve. In a sense this is a relief because I stopped "monitoring" my tinnitus so closely, maybe 7 or 8 years after my diagnostic, and 2 years after my second surgical operation. It does not keep me awake at night.
I mean you could just… go. Like get up and walk out of the room. Unless you’re under a psychiatric hold or other such specialized circumstances, they have no legal authority to keep you there. It’d be holding you against your will, and a criminal action by the hospital. You have the right to just get up and walk out without signing a damn thing, though they may try to tell you otherwise.
I think you should really just require the corpse; if somebody wants to setup a trap it should be fine for them to bring a bucket of 30 corpses instead of a video where an official has to count to 30.

I suspect if you time-box the reward that'll fix the cobra effect problem. Announce that you'll only pay for dead rats for ~4 months and at least in the final month people should realize that its time to kill the golden goose and provide all the rats they have instead of breeding for more.
Note to self: Compare memory usage of using stunnel with large stunnel.conf containing many backends versus relayd with large table containing many backends.

From relayd.conf manpage:

"TLS client and server

When combining both modes, TLS server and client, relayd(8) can filter TLS connections as a man-in-the-middle. This combined mode is also called "TLS inspection". The configuration requires additional X.509 certificate settings; see the ca key description in the PROTOCOLS section for more details."

I did test it before posting and "echo 1 > fifo1" did block immediately. Unless the buffer is 1 byte, there seems to be a special case for this.
Actually you should never use attributes in XML at all to represent data. Your first example is correct.

Everyone is just confused because people who didn't know this designed HTML. But also everyone is confused because HTML and XML aren't necessarily related other than some parentage in SGML.

I'm a big fan of decimal time (or French Revolutionary Time as it's sometimes called). I made my own version a few years back: https://kybernetikos.github.io/UIT/

My version also removes timezones. The numeric time is the same whereever you are in the world, but the display changes based on your location so that local solar midday is straight up on the clock face and local solar midnight is straight down on the clock face. Day and night hours are drawn on the face.

I used to have it attach to your google calendar and draw meetings onto the clock face too, but I think in the last 11 years the google calendar api has changed and I haven't updated it.

Obviously once you have metric time, you need a metric week too, so I have new week days: nullday, unday, duoday, triday, quadday, hexday heptday, octday and nonday. There's no need for months anymore, I just number the weeks. Of course 28th Quadday is the 285th day in the year, as the first day is 0th Nullday. Fixing the number of weeks in a year to a round number is left as an exercise for the reader.

Time and date maths becomes very simple.
> The main idea to improve your pronunciation is that you hear a native speaker

A religions historian once said that in US 2 people from 2 different neighborhouds do not speak the same language. What is a "native speaker" in this context ?
I think manojlds point is why the OS names are not sorted by the first word in their name as opposed to the last word in their name. Microsoft Windows should have come right after macOS, if the list was sorted alphabetically by first word, then last. It must be sorted by last, then first though. I guess it is a bit of a strange choice since most OS distributions seem to have a single word for their name, making Microsoft Windows appear miss-sorted.

I'm not sure that the bias is only due to inexperienced reviewers. For example, even at a specialized venue like CoLLAs (I also work in CL), where you could send more esoteric research, you still see most people doing the usual rehearsal+class-incremental stuff. Most experienced researchers are also quite happy with the current state of the field. They may agree with your view, but their actual research and vision is much more aligned with the "popular" CL research.

In general, the whole deep learning field tends to oversimplify practical problems and experimental design in favor of overcomplicating methods. This happens at all the levels.

XML is fine.

The overcomplicated mess was the WS-* garbage.
Amending commits, while having the advantage of keeping the git tree pristine at every single point, is incredibly uncomfortable for async workflows such as the one suggested, where your review might take hours/days and you want to continue coding in a forked branch. Upstreaming any code review changes becomes a pain as git treats the two branches as completely distinct.
