As I understand it, no one has come close to the claimed results in s3.1 ("Sentiment Analysis with the Stanford Sentiment Treebank Dataset") and people have come closer but still not matched those in s3.2 ("Beyond One Sentence: Sentiment Analysis with IMDB dataset").

A thread where Mikolov is trying to help other with his patch to `word2vec.c` demoing a tiny bit of 'Paragraph Vector' – but reaches the limits of what he understands Le to have done – is: https://groups.google.com/g/word2vec-toolkit/c/Q49FIrNOQRo/m...

My own frustration (& reco to avoid the thin stanfordSentimentTreebank/RottenTomatoes data/results) is mentioned at: https://groups.google.com/g/word2vec-toolkit/c/ubFrO0a9Pe8/m...

I'd say that "concatenating PV-DBOW and (plain averaging) PV-DM" never seems to offer much lift compared the favorable way it's described in the paper and other Le comments. And after spending a bunch of time implementing the "PV-DM with concatenation (rather than sum/average) of many word-vectors as the context", as I interpret the paper's description "To predict the 8-th word, we concatenate the paragraph vectors and 7 word vectors", I've only seen it massively increase model size & training time for very little advantage.

Reddit searches on related topics turn up other anecdotes/resentments; eg:

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/18jzxpf/co...

https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/hkiyir/com...

At a certain level, with so much "gold in them thar hills" in followup work – from both academic & commercial perspectives, I don't blame Le for rushing forward to other related fertile ideas, & ignoring the requests-for-explanation.

But there's something sloppy or fishy (hiding secret tweaks?) in the originally-claimed PV results, which has wasted a lot of time among those trying to understand & reproduce.
Unfortunately, democracy is incredibly expensive in terms of human lives, and once lost there is no way to get it back other than to fight for it.
They also play games where they refuse to lower rents even when they're going empty because it will lower the resale value of the property. There's lots of economic games you can play when you own a large percentage of the rental property in an area. The logic of "landlords provide housing" is a myth, but it's especially true here when the primary purpose of owning the property for these firms is speculation and collecting market rate rents is secondary to that.

It doesn't. It's a canned response. I tried this prompt

I got the exact same ascii art:

Sure, here's a simple ASCII art of a dog wearing a hat:

The hat is the ^ symbol, and the dog's ears are the `/_/" symbols. I hope you

PS: OK, not exactly the same- the model swapped the ">" on the bottom with a "\" at the top.
Except that houses last much longer and there won‘t be an newer more attractive version 5 years later. And in many places the value is the land not the house.
>You cannot expect crime to be reduced if you remove the “criminals” without addressing the conditions that made them criminals in the first place.

Unless the creation of criminals is caused by being victimized by criminals. Then that's exactly the solution.
Depends on some factors, but required and also common is 30/45 minutes, +10% longer flights, before diversion (that fuel not included).

Recently experienced a closed airport, needed to divert, and even with chances high that we need to circle again for a while, we only took 1 hour fuel for circling before 2nd divert (and luckily made it after 40 minutes). It was no big jet, but some bigger especially cannot even land with too much fuel.
"If more houses were built then none of this would be a problem" Yes but the economy is a real thing with limitations. In the short term you are limited by economic resources. Think of a worker placement board game or a city building game. You can choose to build mansions on beaches that will be 90% empty or you can choose to build housing elsewhere which might find different utility. But you cannot do both!
Yes, but that’s the same problem as uninhabited “frontier” except less bad. Nobody’s taking advantage of it, regardless. Therefore…
> That would not be appropriate in any of the mainstream cloud-native architecture styles.

I mean it ends up being like that. A significant number of medium sized sites bust out into micro-services at some point. Or they start off as serverless, and realise that actually its not as easy to scale as it was claimed.
There was a large drop in the price of housing just 15 years ago. Granted, other factors were involved, but that's part of what the article is about. It is possible.
I had a program that had to parse a lot of integers like "12345". The std way to do it was an order of magnitude slower than writing my own simple parsing code. I have no idea what the std version was doing, but it was crazy to see my program's execution time (measured in hours) dominated by int parsing. The handwritten version eliminated that.
I stand to inherit from such people. They own five homes, are building a sixth, and have plans for 1-2 more at least. 4 are rentals, 1 is a charity to my Uncle who is mentally unwell and unable to provide his own living. They don't think they have that much money.
What would the point of a propaganda campaign like that be?

What evil organization is paying on the backend to make sure homeless people do not receive money?

Argue in good faith. People are skeptical that their money should go to people that have not earned it. That is the reality of the argument. It isn’t a conspiracy that many people equate homeless to drug addiction, it’s fact. It is also fact that homelessness isn’t always the guy sleeping in the street, but the single mom sleeping on a friend’s couch for as long as possible.

This is just another “it’s really easy to spend other people’s money” issue.
Zoning should be used to keep factories out of neighborhoods, nothing more. Also, building code is making houses boring. Should be a third-party standard, like UL.
I was fortunate to stumble upon the practice by accident. I was journaling just because, and my two dogs ensure I have plenty of solitary walks through nature. It really is incredibly important to have that time, and to maintain a curious, open mind.

Likely there are other ingredients. Some sort of catalyst may be needed for the process to get into gear. (Full disclosure, I'm still partway through the book so perhaps Ms. Cameron discloses them, but I stand by signal-response practice from direct experience.)

To hazard a guess, I would say joy/wonder may that catalyst. Or rather, our sense of wonder will lead us to joy which triggers the necessary inner reaction.

I'm curious to hear more about your experiences.
Surely you know the difference between anecdotal data and actual research?
“Visual approaches in use” is less labor intensive for ATC than instrument approaches in visual conditions. It also allows for higher flow.

Bit on the hyperbolic side implying visual approaches push the system to the breaking point.
That's so interesting.

I've just done a quick dive into my electronics. I have a Tonbux power strip where the C and E are definitely too close together.

Edit:The website I linked is a Chinese manufacturer. If it was an urban legend, it seems to be being treated as fact in a way that matters now.
So the only legitimate reason is "Hardware goes out of date"
That is a real but solvable problem. Everything else was pure speculation.
>1. It talks to a database.

>3. It touches the file system.

These are BS. Maybe they made sense in the beforetimes when when we didn't have Docker containers or SSDs, but nowadays there's no reason you can't stand up a mini test database as part of your unit test suite. It's way simpler than mocking.
On the one hand, yes, I'm tempted to just ignore GNOME+KDE because they'll never play nice, and just go build something better without them.

On the other hand, this means that the ecosystem overall stays fragmented and we get an eternal state of "to do X in Windows do foo, in MacOS do bar, and on desktop Linux see this wiki page discussing your options". And while I suppose there would be value in ex. screenshot tools only needing 3 code paths, it would have been nice to only need 1.
Ahaha XLent.
Your framing here is weird and doesn't match the facts. The airplane didn't want to do anything. Its pilots were following a mandatory company safety policy.
> better and cheaper than the $750 going to drugs or alcohol?

It didn't. That was one of the conclusions of the study being discussed.

At the risk of stating the obvious: someone who's homeless may need medical treatment or, you know, a home more than they need food at that moment.

> Food credits or $750, you realize it's still coming from taxpayers either way?

The method that costs much less to administer... costs much less to administer.

> If someone is homeless it means that they already failed and need help.

That's obviously not true. And also isn't how we view the taxpayer-funded fire department coming to put out a house fire.
I would agree that treating the taxation of land differently than that of housing would be a sensible idea.

Newer housing is quite often much nicer than older housing, truth be told. More energy efficient, for instance.
Plenty vacant houses in run-down towns nobody wants to move to. It’s not the same for the top cities.
yeah, this isn't caused by qealth inequality. it is a separate issue, but not in housing g shortage. housing isn't a fixed sum game in usa, we have plenty of space and materials to build. the issue is that we do not allow for building to be built in the right locations in the right volume. zoning and local laws are the reason.
Landlords generally own a couple properties, and have competition. If you control a significant percentage of the market, you can really really abuse that.
OCR is error-prone, but once you've scanned the document, you don't have to delete the raw scan. If errors are found, the digitized text can be updated. This is no worse than a physical record that you have to manually look at to figure out what it says.

This is literally not true.

Was that referring to the Primary Glide Slope Indicator being out of order at the time though? I find the article a little unclear if that's a general recommendation even if all the aids are functional for a visual approach.
What a really nasty thing to say, I was genuinely offering advice to you on how to negotiate with people you should already be getting along with anyway.

I can assure *you* that my friends, not a "acquaintances", are much happier using Telegram than they were planning everything over a soup of Facebook Messenger and SMS. If I had it my way we would all be using IRC or Signal, but my compromises to ensure feature parity with iMessage was out of an understanding of what everyone desired, which was the core of what I was trying to get at here but I guess you missed that, not that I'm surprised considering your shitty attitude. In truth an insufferable person simply would not be capable of convincing 18 different people to switch to a new messaging app, no matter how badly they nagged them.

Many of my friends have actually thanked me for fixing the situation since it has greatly improved our ability to make plans and hang out together, which is a tricky thing to do in adult life where everyone is on different schedules. But sure I guess my desire to improve how me and my friends communicate makes me selfish huh?
Of the half that are dark, how many are working late, out to dinner, out of town, etc?

That half the units are dark from 7-9PM doesn't mean they're not someone's primary residence.
Is there any evidence that private equity owns a significant percentage of homes? Absent any strong data, I am skeptical that PE would purchase (and hold) large swaths of residential real estate. Unlike, commercial real estate, the operations component of maintaining the buildings (outside of apartment complexes) would be complex and hard to scale. I am open to be disproven but it just seems like a much more unwieldy asset class than PE normally deals with.

I have not heard a convincing explanation of how the universe could produce the Monorail episode of The Simpsons merely by a certain configuration of energies in the first moment of the big bang, and the consequences of thereof. The most obvious argument is that the Monorail episode of The Simpsons is not only possible in at least one of the infinitude of quantum, deterministic universes, but inevitable, and that the seeming absurdity is merely my inability to acknowledge my anthropic bias. Nonetheless, I laugh every time I think about the motion of particles leading unavoidably to the invention of everything required for someone to type "I call the big one Bitey!", and for me to appreciate it, or believe—as I must—that I appreciate it. The mind reels!
Uh installing from just about anywhere that's unheard of in the history of computing!!!
Building more houses might be easier, but it's incredibly difficult nonetheless, at least if we're talking about affordable housing. There is tons of housing being built in my area, but it's all for the wealthy. Literally nothing is being built for anyone who isn't rich.

And what affordable rental housing exists is increasingly being purchased by investment groups who then squeeze them for every dime, squeezing out the very people who need that housing in the process.

The housing crisis really looks to me like an aspect of the serious wealth inequality problem we have.
Navalny may not be perfect but in my eyes he's a hero. He's put his life on the line all these years to challenge power. There's not many people who would go so far to stand for their principles.
You can trivially implement this using a timestamp authority (TSA). This can be done without the blockchain, and there are several free publicly available services that do this.

The vast majority doesn't donate the sums of money to politicians that the entrenched beneficiaries of the policies in question donate. The vast majority gets taxed so the government can pay the beneficiaries, and those beneficiaries, in turn, use that money to lobby to keep the laws off of which they profit.
And they think that the digitization and digital storage (as well as regular updating) will be cheaper than that? I don't.

I asked ChatGPT 3.5 for some rough estimates on the storage costs. Ideally, we would be using archival quality scans (~75MB per page of a will) and a more or less random distribution of will length resulted in an estimate of ~700 million pages for the archived wills, or 50,000 PB. This number would need to increase each year, but this would be the baseline for the reported 100M wills.

If we assume $20/TB/month for archival quality distributed storage, the cost for the baseline storage is about $12B annually, and that's just for the storage. Indexing, retrieval, etc. adds up to 50% more per year on top of the cost to digitize and develop such a system in the first place. So we’re talking ~$18B or ~£14B annually.

Depending on storage density and overall reliability, 25,000 – 50,000 racks would be required without data redundancy, so the $20/TB/month baseline cost or $30/TB/month for redundancy, indexing, and retrieval does not sound too far out of line.

Are we really saying that the physical storage of wills is costing ~£20B annually? (It could be, but the likely highest cost as always is personnel. On the other hand, digital storage requires more climate control than document storage, which aside from humidity control, can mostly be kept underground without temperature controls.)

The chat, for consideration. The costs could be constrained by not using archival quality scans, but that would be the purposeful destruction of history — which, given that we're talking about the tories, isn’t that surprising, really.

This is a common talking point but the facts don't bear it out. Empty homes in cities with demand are low a single digit proportion of homes that could be in circulation.

You could argue that these empty mansions are a sign of misallocated resources, but the reason there are no homes available in the places people want/need to live isn't that there's no money to build them, it's because it's de facto illegal to build new homes anywhere they would be useful, at any price. It's not a wealth problem, it's a NIMBY problem, a symptom of our political gerontocracy.
> This is not an extreme political opinion, nor something that is unreasonable to ask someone whether they believe.

Why are you asking if this is something they believe if by your own admission it’s a position that is widely held? Again, how is your question not a provocation? And why am I still entertaining it?
If we make the assumption that each mansion housing a millionaire could be rebuild to a multi family home housing 10 people (or families), then those 5% houses become homes for 50% of Americans.
This is the type of take that proves AI is in a hype bubble right now.

I am sorry about your conclusion, but you're ignoring all the knock-on effects. These houses are utilizing prime locations and locations anywhere near the city centers where the majority of jobs are. They're sitting there empty for large portions of the year depriving the local economy of patrons. They're owned by wealthy individuals who are driving up the housing costs in the entire area, which also benefits them as the value of their 'investment' increases and the ability for the average person to own a home diminishes. "Just build more houses".... where? at what cost? Are you going to tell people to stop trying to buy houses where the jobs are, where the modern services and utilities are?

"We" are not a rich country, unless by "we" you mean the 10% of the population that is rich. I feel well compensated, I'm well within the middle class and consider myself lucky. I cannot afford a home, in the current market, in a location with the services and locality of my industry. I live in Florida. Vrbo, Airbnb, and properties purchased by institutional investors have directly increased my housing costs. That is objective, not subjective. Call it anecdotal all you want, the populated parts of the state have seen their housing options obliterated.
There is truth to this. 3/3 interns of mine whose parents live in the Bay Area have # of homes in the neighborhood > # of adults occupying them.

> It’s just greed.

These people whom I know personally, they are not greedy. They're not even selfish. They're not the bad guys.

Why don't the rich rent their vacant homes to the poor? At least we can answer this question objectively: if you're poor, you have less to spend, you can't fix your stuff, you will have more occupants, you will pay late more frequently, you will not be able to pay rent increases, you will not be able to adapt to extraordinary events like fires and layoffs, you have higher legal risks like tenant lawsuits, you will...

The crazy thing is, in every sector, sellers are less interested in poor buyers.
The limits are: Getting people willing to work in the industry (a lot of it is hard labor for okay but not great pay). Zoning which doesn't allow you to build at all in high demand places. Building codes that sometimes require things that don't make sense. Places where builders can get permits "by right" tend to have a lot more building and thus much lower housing prices.
That’s not how ATC works. First come, first served.
I feel like “deterministic” and “predictable” are often conflated. Suppose I give you the output of encoding a secret message with a one-time pad. Can you predict the message contents without the one-time pad? No. Does that mean the output was generated non-deterministically? No.

More generally, there are strings with Kolmogorov complexity of at least the length of the string but for which the conditional Kolmogorov complexity is very small given some other string.

In this sense, it’s quite possible that quantum mechanics is fully deterministic and there is a hard limit on our ability to predict the future (so for all intents and purposes, quantum mechanics is at some level indistinguishable from true randomness to us despite there being no randomness whatsoever in the laws of physics). In fact, I think the former actually implies the latter:

Consider a completely classical, deterministic universe (or at least imagine a high fidelity molecular dynamics simulation of our lightcone of the universe). Then all of the actions that humans take in an attempt to predict future observations are fully pre-ordained. Why should it be the case that these actions just so happen to lead to output that describes another subsystem’s behavior to arbitrary precision? That would be a strange coincidence to have for whatever set of laws describes the time evolution of this hypothetical universe. Mathematically, how many universes like that are even possible? What sort of bizarre initial conditions would there have to be for this to be the case?

My take is pretty simple: 1) the universe is fully deterministic and 2) quantum mechanics appears inherently random to us because we are inescapably part of the system we are trying to study and predict.

So now the interesting question: is there is an experiment that can distinguish between the case of a fully deterministic universe and one with non-deterministic processes, given that the two would seem to appear the same as far as human observation is concerned?
Is increasing the rental housing stock an intrinsically good thing if every unit of housing available for rent means one less unit of housing available for sale?

Here on HN we're all quick to lament the end of real ownership in the sense of media like books and music, at the mercy of an exploitative corporate practice that is not coincidentally called rent-seeking. So why should we all be happy to be literal rentiers to the landed gentry?
Someone is going to impose their rules on the rest of us. The only choice we have is who that someone is. "Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made."

(And yes, not every society has had to go as far as Bukele to acheive prosperity, freedom, and peace. All crooked timber is crooked in its own way, and different populations need different solutions but the basic principle is the same everywhere.)
I think it makes a big difference if your home is running on open source stuff or not.

I wouldn't be comfortable with Google or Amazon running my house but if it's stuff I flashed myself from github it's a lot better.
The problem of low housing supply is not a problem of capitalism. It's of nimbyism, restrictive zoning, car-dependency. Capitalism's hey-day was late 1800s and cities ballooned like crazy.
