I am a co-author of a patent for model explainability for credit risk underwriting applications using Shapley values.

In fairness I haven't given this article a thorough read but my initial impression is that I'm finding myself frustrated by the FUD this article is attempting to spread. As my boss would often remark to remind us all: model explainability is an under-constrained optimization problem. By definition there isn't a unique explanation decomposition unless you further constrain the problem.

Therefore, I personally find that hand-wringing around there not being 100% agreement around different explanations for a model inference, while definitely thought provoking and worth considering, should at least account for this reality. For some reason a lot of folks in the ML community seem to have come the opinion that because the problem is under-constrained that means that explanations shouldn't be calculated or have no utility.

Would you prefer a model that examines which features are driving the model to deny a disproportionate number of folks of a particular race or ethnicity or not, all things being equal? My point is even if there are limitations to explainability I think there are a lot of very real, critical scenarios where applying SHAP can be of actual, real world utility.

Furthermore, it's not clear that LIME or other explainability methods will provide better or more robust explanations than Shapley values. As someone that has looked at this pretty extensively in credit underwriting I'd personally feel most comfortable computing SHAP values while acknowledging some of the limitations and risks this article calls out.

Axioms such as completeness are also pretty reasonable and I think there is a fair amount of real world utility to explainability algorithms that derive from such an axiomatic basis.
One might say, OP is overREACTing.
Could Ladybird become a symbolic phoenix for Mozilla before the org was hijacked? That would really be amazing, as there is now a void.

It would give hope we're not doomed to Google’s corporate strategy of cannibalization.
If you want to use or show off React, use it. If you want to make it simple, keep it simple.

If your portfolio's content is simple enough for one page, or just a unique pages, go for just HTML! You will like it. Static HTML files (with a bit of JS) will be easy to deploy and better for SEO and performance.

That said, you might quickly find you want something with more capabilities.

Through my experience, you're eventually going to want some sort of template engine. Want to reuse the same "article" layout or you want a for-loop over a list of articles? Templates. Your template engine could be as simple as Pug or Handlebars templates, no client-side rendering needed yet. Compile your templates and deploy your HTML files.

Pug (or other template engines) will probably carry you a long ways. The next step would be some sort of static site generator. This is basically the same as Pug, with with extra options and more structure. Hugo and Jekyll are popular, but there are a lot of options. Deploys are the same: build locally, deploy, or set it up with some hoster like Netlify or Vercel to build and deploy automatically (and for free!).

The next level is something like Nuxt, Vuepress, or Next, which can generate static websites, but also give you fancy things like client-side rendering for fancy page transitions (although there is now a native way to accomplish this with just HTML and CSS!). My blog articles are written in Markdown so they are easy to port to other frameworks or themes. This is the approach that I use because I like to stay up to date with Vue...but you'll spend a lot more time "upgrading" things instead of building or writing. Just my experience.
Generally these things are useless for 3d artists because the wireframe is useless for them.

Won’t the rising cost of fossil gas due to these issues speed electrification? Behold the death spiral, embrace the death spiral!

(As more fossil gas consumers electrify, an ever smaller population must support the network fixed costs, driving up costs and continuing to more rapidly push consumers to electrify; like bankruptcy, it happens slowly, and then all of a sudden)

If not utterly false and defaming. ANY educated Spanish speaker could talk to any other one from the whole Latin America in the spot. We are not talking about hicks with a deep and harsh accent such as some Andalusian farmer and some Northern Mexican paisano from Nowhereland. (Kinda like mixing an Appalachian and a Scottish).
Why? Why not?

Arguments can be made either way.

You could build a portfolio site with just HTML depending on your priorities

Or you could extend to using CSS

If you need basic interaction and event listening, JavaScript is fine enough

Maybe you want a really interactive single page portfolio or web app, then you could reach for React/Svelte/Vue/Angular

Maybe you want a blog style portfolio with many pages and some interactions, in which case you can use any server side templating framework or a “full-stack” framework like NextJS

> “It may be that the ubiquity of DevOps practices has allowed developers and organizations to increase the complexity of projects they are involved in, counteracting the benefits to development velocity..."

This. There's a thicket of projects and products to automate software delivery that in the in end are no better than a shell script. (And in some cases a lot worse.) Github actions are a case in point. They are fine for relatively simple tasks but generate inscrutable errors as the workflows become more complex. My team has spent countless hours debugging issues when dependencies change unexpectedly in runners.
The JVM does it in reality, I can't see why a C runtime wouldn't.
Thank you for the links! We'll take a look.

At the moment, the system prompt is hardcoded in code. I don't think it should bias analyses because our goal is usually returning code that does something specific (for eg "calculate normalized rates for column X grouped by column Y") as opposed to something generic ("why is our churn rate going up"). So, the idea would be that the operator is responsible for asking the right questions - the AI merely acts as a facilitator to generate and understand code.

Also tangentially, we do want to allow users some king of local prompt management and allow easy access, potentially via slash commands. In our testing so far, the existing prompt largely works (took us a fair bit of hit-and-trial to find something that mostly works for common data usecases) but we're hitting limitations of a fixed system prompt so these links will be useful.
I thought you were exaggerating, but that really is what happening (except for the steal part - your comment would be better without exaggerating).

So instead of selling the gas externally (because they are contractually bound to do so) and then import other gas, I would suggest buying gas from elsewhere to deliver to fulfill the contract and then use the local gas locally.

It would need an analysis of costs.

The reason for all this trouble is apparently the gas field production has gone down faster than predicted.

Heh, at one place I wrote some java code that would use reflections to test the getter/setters in a POJO so that it wouldn't end up with 0% code coverage.
Optane definitely had many great uses. It had stunningly good iops with very low latency, it had fantastic endurance, and no write amplification concerns. Optane was excellent for datases, just pricey! Far more pricey than Intel had promised initially, which was a disappointment, but still somewhat in league with enterprise SSDs of the time.

If you really wanted very low latency you needed Optane DIMMs. And that was problematic because typically you wanted motherboards loaded with ram. And it made it complex to figure out how to use those DIMMs, those parts of memory that would be slower but persistent. Using the DIMMs was hard.

But Optane existed as a damned fine NVMe product too! Latency wasn't as good because it was PCIe, was the main downside. CXL could remove this penalty, make it look more like ram that is a NUMA hop away, potentially, which would be grand. This ain't really required to use Optane well, one can still get epic iops at incredibly consistently low latency & proposer, but if you do have a latency sensitive demand it certainly can help!

Poor Optane. I have a hard time understanding how something of such excellent value floundered so. In truth there's not that many people who need many drive-writes-per-day but even if you didn't, the promise was this drive should last you a very very long time because it had such endurance. That long term sustainability seemed like an incredible value we simply failed to recognize & tap.
It's not enough to count the problems in the list, you also weigh the ones it solves against those it introduces. I'm not a nuclear engineer, but none of the issues seem insurmountable, and some are addressed in modern designs. I see a few big advantages:

1) Apparently much lower resource requirements for construction, maintenance, and mining/refining the fuel, than for traditional nuclear power, and also (!) the wind and solar equivalent. We don't have the metals, as far as we know, to maintain a fleet of wind turbines, solar panels, and batteries for very long without an almost perfect recycling rate.

2) Some designs can consume spent nuclear fuel. This is a more cost-effective (and more sane) option for disposing nuclear waste than burying it.

3) Steady availability. Wind and solar are unreliable, so you need a buffer, which means batteries (or pumped hydro, or rapidly spinning hunks of metal, or something).

Mass production is a force to be reckoned with, and the cost of wind and solar has fallen relative to other power sources, but given the dominance (still) of combustion, this not only reflects economies of scale in manufacturing wind/solar equipment, which I don't by any means deny, but it reflects also the rising costs of of legacy fuels. It is not getting easier to find coal, oil, or many of the metals we use to manufacture energy systems and the material economies they sustain.

It seems to me we need an energy system that can function reliably in a world facing resource shortages and other stressors, and in this context smaller scale, modular power plants may even be an advantage.

>I simply cannot believe that you can sustain a browser development without millions of dollars. Web got so complicated.

You can build something good enough for vast majority of websites and people.
> Or did they listen to and trust someone who told them that? And if so why did they listen to and trust that person?

Who cares? The issue is their gullibility and lac of education and ability to think critically.

> How about the people who have the right, and science backed answers learn how to hear out and build trust with the population, so the population actually wants to listen and trust what they say?

We're past that point. The tribalism is so entrenched that most of those people are never going to give the other side a chance.

You'd have to devote time to sit with each person individually and put in the time to try and educate and better them, and it's impossible since we don't have time or people to do that.

> The population doesn't have to be smart,

They kind of do. Or you end up with people that think Alex Jones is a credible source.

> I'm sorry, but democrats seem to have no interest in even attempting to hear the right out and to work towards building any sort of trust with them.

It's hard to hear out and build trust with a group of willfully ignorant superstitious ultra patriots who all too often behave in ways that could be described as bigoted.
Netlify works great for prototyping, but becomes expensive af at scale. For classic use, friends recommend KnownHost.
If it's a portfolio website, I don't think your client would know/care what you have used. So use whatever brings the best of your skills and knowledge.

And in parallel create something specific to React which demonstrates your skills and at the same time useful to others.

All the very best.

Europe in unusually warmer than anywhere on its latitude, mostly because of gulf stream. So Norway (and Canada) comparison should be appropriate.
Wouldn’t exporting pages to images and using pixel diff accurately identify differences in PDF’s?
You are thinking about this wrong. Imagine having a single disk image for 100 Pis. Now imagine having to burn that image to a hundred MicroSD cards, now suddenly you want to update the disk image.

As others have said, you can also use PXE, but http is a bit easier to deal with.

There is a hosting company with something like 44k Raspberry Pis. Are you going to be the guy to update them?
Yes, that's exactly what's being asserted, and what's problematic about their usage.

>> “I believe Wong and Liu want young, technically minded people to understand the importance of keeping semiconductor advances going and to make them want to be part of that effort,” Moore says. “They want to show that semiconductor engineering has a career-long future despite much talk of the death of Moore’s Law.”

Hardware companies don’t pay well, see salaries at places like Broadcom, Qualcomm, Intel and IBM, at least compared to top software companies (and even compared to jobs such as in accounting or project management). That’s why.
“Most”? Citation please.

I reality the dozens of Counties and hundreds of municipalities in just NJ are all different. Some online. Some not. Some online but with enormous time lag. Differing systems with different data. My township and a few dozen others were all coveted by a tax assessor who had an abomination of a Flash based web site that degraded to the devil’s own JavaScript when Flash not available.

Then you need to know the County system. And state system.

Then get into the courts. Court eFiling and search capabilities vary wildly.

In my town’s case you would need to do several on-site searches plus a few Internet based ones to do a proper title search.
Solarpunk, lunarpunk, diaperpunk, hopepunk, gnomecore, goblincore, cottagecore...I love me some cozy genres of scifi and fantasy meant to envision better ways of interacting with the world. It is funny to me that there are so many people asking for new types of genres, prior to the stories themselves being written.

I guess folks are just tired of Superheroes, Dystopia, Cyberpunk and other Dying Earth genres [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dying_Earth_(ge...].
So is the Andalusian accent from a Northern Spaniard like me, it's close to the prosody and speech of the US Southern accent. The first 20 minutes understanding Risitas were pure hell. But you get used to it in a few days.

> One thing the U.S. and Australia have in common... Giving the finger to the brits a while back.

If you are talking about independence, no. The US won independence through a violent rebellion. Australia became independent through a very gradual and consensual process, so gradual it is hard to pinpoint the exact moment at which Australia became independent.

A major step was the Statute of Westminster in 1931, by which the British Empire extended full legal sovereignty to its "Dominions". The Canadian, Irish and South African governments were keen on this law, so it applied to them immediately. However, the Australians, New Zealanders and Newfoundlanders (at the time not yet part of Canada) were hesitant, so the UK agreed the law granting them sovereignty would not apply until their own national parliaments consented to it. Australia didn't agree to accept it until 1942, New Zealand didn't until 1947, and Newfoundland never did (which helped pave the way for its annexation by Canada).

So Americans fight a bloody war for their independence, Australians are offered (a big chunk of it) by the UK and drag their feet for over a decade before accepting the offer, and New Zealanders for even longer.
If you’re using it as a reason to learn React or it gets you excited to get started, sure! Especially if you plan to have more than just static content, it’s totally a viable choice. But as someone who writes a lot of React for work, do I think it sounds like the right technology for a personal portfolio? Not really.

To me, part of the joy of small personal sites is that you can sidestep all of the tooling and compilation stuff and instead just write and publish. But I’ve also seen some highly interactive portfolio apps that run on React or similar, so a lot depends on your vision and what excites you.
Why would it be incorrect? Sometimes two or three different words describe the same thing and that's ok. If you poll enough people you can get a rough idea if one version is more dominant that the other, if there's an even split, or if different regions in the same country prefer different versions. Similar to soda/pop/coke in the US.

You can design a study with a high level of data granularity. You could even track differences in pronunciation and grammar if you wish so.

Weird. Sotomayor is one of the few credible justices we have.
New batteries are being tested in China. They are effectively 2x less dense than jet fuel when accounted for turbine losses which started to make them very feasible for 50-100 passenger planes.

The weight savings on jets were always to save fuel. When fuel is almost free it doesn't matter that much anymore. All weight savings go towards range.
I was going to write a comment about why gamification fails, but the article already has a quote that expresses it perfectly.

"What we’re currently terming gamification is in fact the process of taking the thing that is least essential to games and representing it as the core of the experience. Points and badges have no closer a relationship to games than they do to websites and fitness apps and loyalty cards."

Thanks! If you do end up using Python for LLM app development, and end up trying out Custom Playgrounds at any point, we'd love to get any feedback that you might have. (We've started out with Python support because Python is currently the lingua franca for much LLM app development; that said, we've also discussed adding JS/TS support going forward.)

Re reasons for preferring open source - understood. (In this case, Custom Playgrounds are tightly integrated with the rest of our product -- including for secure sharing, auto-logging, test suite construction and execution, etc. -- and the rest of our product isn't open source.)

Also, just checked out https://langcss.com -- nice!

The "Reveal Codes" is a good idea. WYSIWYG without Reveal Codes is no good.
"Biphasic programming" is also present in frameworks like Apache Spark, Tensorflow, build tools like Gradle and code-first workflow engines. Execution of the first phase generates a DAG of code to be executed later. IMO the hardest thing for newcomers is when phase 1 and phase 2 code is interleaved with no immediate clear boundaries, (phase 1 code resembles an internal DSL). The docs need to teach this early on to avoid confusion. A prime offender of this is SBT, with its (perhaps no longer true) 3 stage rocket, which is not really described in the docs (see https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/SowhatswrongwithSBT.html#too-ma...)

Open AI gets great brand building - Apple users spend a lot of money and are all potential open AI customers personally and professionally. If they get used to this “just working” all the time they may have confidence to use open Ai in their company. Also if Open AI can stay ahead of Apple in AI and keep delivering market winning innovation that causes Apple users to return to hardware upgrade cycles of every year or two that will generate many billions for Apple and make open Ai worth paying for.a bit like the drug dealer who gives you the first hit for free.
