I think it is why people have such different experiences. It all depends randomly on how what you want to solve lines up with what the models are good at.

I really want to like Zed, and their AI may actually be useful. But when I hear things like "new open model" I can only associate it with hype, which is more often about pleasing investors, not end users.
Absolutely not. It's reminiscent of kids practicing imitations and rhetoric bickering uselessly.
While this is from the Cline blog (and therefore not quite unbiased), it was interesting to see the contrasting framing of approaches. Sharing the post here with the hope of encouraging discussion on this.
> If you are worried ... other agreements

I am not worried. I am saying there is no contract that says you get X in N years! Maybe that maybe something, but it is very vague promise.
Not only does that not need to be the case, he only needs to subvert a few swing states to interfere successfully.
I think it will be interesting to see how Trump's justices rule on this sort of thing; I suspect that they are not actually as beholden to him as people are inclined to think. They got into this to oppress minorities (they were pretty much chosen off a list of judges who were seen as reliable (in a Republican sense) on abortion and voting rights and so on), but potentially not to wholesale disassemble democracy in the US, and there's very little that Trump can do to them. I think he may find them less cooperative than he's hoping.
Figured I can save you a click and put the main point here, as few people will be interested in the rest:

The Kalman filter is adding the precision (inverse of covariance) of the measurement and the precision of the predicted state, to obtain the precision of the corrected state. To do so, the respective covariance matrices are first inverted, to obtain precision matrices. To have both in the same space, the measurement precision matrix is projected to the state space using matrix H. The resulting sum is converted back to a covariance matrix, by inverting it.
I'll believe it when I see it. It sounds great but like with all EU and especially the Commission matters, there's a big difference between their grand statements and the reality.

Thank you for pointing that out. During the creation of the cases I did not take much consideration on naming the tables. I will either make all of them plural or singular.
That’s called a comparison, an intuition pump, an invitation to entertain an opposite view. The parent comment said it was an “irrelevant mention”. I simply tried to articulate why it cannot be considered so.

Do you actually agree that DEI mention is immaterial to the grant proposal? If so, it can be easily removed, but some people, like the other person who replied to me, seem to think it’s actually a good thing and it’s not immaterial and grants should be distributed based on such criteria.

It’s the same old trite progression of “it doesn’t exist” -> “it doesn’t matter” -> “it’s actually a good thing”. Every. Single. Time.
> BEING nazi/bigot/transphobic/etc is what ATTRACTED every bigot and self admitted Nazi to the Republicans

If that's the case, you have already lost anyway. Because if that's true you have so many nazis in the US now that the historical Nazis are a rounding error. Do you truly believe that?

> How about policing the actual Nazis and bigots and transphobes instead of the people like his daughter who rightfully call him what he obviously is by his very own words and deeds?

You can't police shit if you are the minority. That's absurd. You can't become the majority by being an ass to everyone on the fence. That's what the left has been doing and driving everyone away.

The left has to take responsibility for the failed tactic of going around screaming at people for wearing sombreros or whatever. After you do that enough, everyone who has been screamed at will want to vote for anyone who are against that crap. And yea, that was Trump.

Or maybe I'm wrong and you really do have 77,302,580 nazis in the US right now. I don't buy that. I have a much higher opinion of the American people.

As someone building in this space, we've found that raw OCR accuracy is just one piece (and it's becomming a commodity).

The real challenge is building reliable and accurate ETL pipelines (document ingestion from web, OCR, classification, validation, etc.) that work at scale in production.

The best products will be defined by everything "non-AI", like UX, performance, and human-in-the loop feedback loop for non-techies.

Avoiding over-reliance on specific models also helps. With good internal eval data and benchmarks, you can easily switch or fine-tune models.
Our goal is to make planning optimization easy. But planning optimization can be extremely complex. So it took us quite some time to make it easy. Timefold Solver is already a lot easier than OptaPlanner to use. And the Timefold REST APIs are even easier: if you have a vehicle routing or shift scheduling case on your hands, just send in your data and get the solution.
But not all cases are easy...

What kind of use case where you trying to solve with OptaPlanner? In the past, I've seen a strong correlation between the ease of solving the problem and the availability of of a quickstart example.

For example, our tech is even used for court scheduling (in different countries), but every single one of those cases was difficult. Other cases are far more simple.

It all depends on the planning problem.

Do you remember any particular pain in your OptaPlanner experience that we can improve going forward? Around which year was this?

No. This isn't about grant dollars actually being rescinded while the research is in process – you can't do that.

It's about a senator attempting to lead his own "investigation" into grants awarded during the Biden administration, and using shoddy methodology to do so.

This shouldn't be conflated, either, with how the NSF and NIH have currently flagging grant proposals in review for immediate rejection.

I think the goal here was to convince the AI to actually read chars ("OCR") rather than speculate what might be written on paper/in the image. Hence why the ground truth is explicitly removing the letters & word parts that are obscured, even when they can be guessed.

TBH, I'm not sure it's a good test. I can somewhat see the argument against "BASELINE" for ground truth - the underlying text might have been BASE(IAKS), for all we know. But, IMO the ground truth should have been "Direction & ess" at the very least. And, more significantly than that - it's a fake scenario, that we don't care for in practice. Why use that? Use invoices with IDs that sound like words but are not. Use license plates and stuff like that. Heck, use large prints of random characters, mixed with handwritten gibberish.

For at least some of images that they used, the expectation from a good text reader is actually to understand context and not blindly OCR. Take "Trader Joe's": we *know* that's an 's', but only from outside context; from OCR, it might've been an 8, there's really no way to tell. Why accept the "s" in ground truth, but reject the full world "Coconut" (which is obviously what is written on the can, even if partially obscured)? Furthermore, a human would know what kind of products are sold by Trader Joe's, and coupling that with the top of the letters "M I L" that are visible, would deduce that's Coconut Milk. So really, Claude nailed that one.
It all comes down to a religious faith in AGI or not.

There can't be things that a human can program that AGI can not program or it is not "AGI".

While I am never a true believer in AGI, it seems to go I get a little faith when a new model comes out then I become increasingly agnostic the weeks and months after that. Repeat.

Hey, my name is Piotr and I work on language servers at Zed.

Right now you can run multiple language servers in a single project. Admittedly you cannot have multiple instances of a single language server in a single worktree (e.g. two rust-analyzers) - I am working on that right now, as this is a common pain point for users with monorepos.

I would love to hear more about the problems you are having with running language servers in your projects. Is there any chance for us to speak on our community Discord or via onboarding call (which you can book via https://dub.sh/zed-c-onboarding)?
> Yet it takes me 30 seconds to log into my bank

This has little to do with bloat. There's a complex array of backend systems involved in logging you in to your bank: Authentication, authorization, customer system, separate account systems for each account type (debit, credit, loans, investments), etc. The bank's login process has to wait for all of them to respond and collate the data before returning control to the UI.

Rest assured, online banking teams spend a lot of time trying to optimize login performance but they're limited by the slowest of the downstream systems. There's a lot of data on that "account summary" page you see after logging in.

The login process performance could be improved by landing on a simple "welcome" page but the majority of people want to see all of their account balances immediately upon login.

I think there are multiple possible goals we could imagine in text recognition tasks. Should the AI guess the occluded text? That could be really helpful in some instances. But if the goal is OCR, then it should only recognize characters optically, and any guessing at occluded characters is undesired.

The point is that “the deal” assumes that the Rust folks will keep their promises for the long haul. Which kernel maintainers, who have witnessed similar promises fall flat, are not willing to trust at face value.

What if, in years to come, the R4L effort peters out? Who will keep their promises then? And what will it cost those people to keep those broken promises?

The existing kernel maintainers mostly believe that the answers to the questions are “we will get stuck with the burden” and “it will be very expensive since we are not Rust programmers.”

While I have never noticed changes in formatting of non-selected things when modifying a style, except for the formats of "bullets and numbering", I had problems with changes in adjacent apparently independent things by the insertion or deletion of formatted text.

To guard against such problems especially in paragraphs that use "bullets and numbering", where the font used for bullets and numbers appears to be linked with the font used on the associated line, I have become used to insert some random letter before the place where I would paste formatted text, if it is a place where this may not work as expected, which blocks any spreading of that format. After pasting the specially formatted text, I delete the previously inserted letter.

This undesired spreading of the formatting style happens only over white spaces and invisible control characters, it does not happen over normal printable characters, so inserting a printable character is guaranteed to contain the style.
Yeah, sadly, I think it's worth having "ulterior motives" on the list.

One of the first time I got interested in reading medical studies was when I saw a bunch of headlines announcing that a randomized controlled trial had proved that echinacea was ineffective for treating respiratory problems. This surprised me, because I'd always been a dogmatic drinker of echinacea tea whenever I had a cold, and had thought that it helped. But then again, I come from a culture of damn dirty hippies, so I was open to being wrong about it. Rather than rely on the headlines, I decided to dig up the study itself.

Here's what the study actually found: that rubbing an echinacea-infused ointment on your wrists has no effect on respiratory health.

Er... yeah, no shit, Sherlock. Literally nobody uses echinacea that way. You've just falsified a total straw-man of a hypothesis, and based on the number of headlines generated off the back of this, I think it's reasonable to presume there was some kind of funded apparatus for disseminating that bogus result.

Ever since then, I've learned not to trust the headlines when it comes to trials, reserving judgment until I've looked at the methodology. When I do, a lot come up short.
Hey! Zed founder here.

We totally agree with this and that's why Zed will switch the keybinding for accepting an edit prediction to `alt-tab` when the cursor is in the leading whitespace of a line. This way you can keep using `tab` for indenting in that situation.

Also, when there's both an edit prediction and and LSP completion, Zed switches the keybinding to `alt-tab` to prevent the conflict with accepting an LSP completion.

Curious to hear what you think!
I feel like you have this backwards. In the assignment Y:=2X, each unit of Y is caused by half a unit of X. In the game where we flip a coin at fair odds, if you have increased your wealth by 8× in 3 tosses, that was caused by you getting heads every toss. Theoretically establishing causality is trivial.

The problem comes when we try to do so practically, because reality is full of surprising detail.

> No bias: The association between X and Y is not affected by a third, omitted variable, Z.

This is, practically speaking, the difficult condition. I'm not so convinced the others are necessary (practically speaking, anyway) but you should read Pearl if you're into this!
