I've heard that the so-called "yellowish" skin color that non-tanned East Asians tend to have, is due to relative abundance of subcutaneous fat. If that's true, is that captured by…

I love the idea, and I developed something similar of myself in the past ( https://github.com/golddranks/kobuta ), but... this reeks of slop. With Rust code, edition="2021" is a de…

It's very hard when you are overworked to a near-burnout state. I needed to quit to save myself.

I'm am not willing to wager my mental health for staying if I feel the current work environment would be detrimental for that.

Why aren't the role tags preprocessed algorithmically/deterministically and then fed in as one-hot-encoded vectors alongside the semantic word embeddings? I'd imagine that it would…

Thank you!

I am currently quitting a company of 10 years of employment. And I keep hearing how everything's shit. Btw. I'm located in Tokyo where it isn't as bad, apparently, but... Let's see…

Indeed, I realized I had my timeline a bit off after posting that. Of course, we have Lisp ca. 1960. (Pascal appeared 1970, but I don't think that's widely considered memory-safe. …

I disagree. I think that after 1992, we got memory safe languages that brought a meaningful improvement to the status quo. And after 2015, we've got low-level memory safe languages…

I think it was way too easy to guess corretly based on exluding obviously incorrect choises and then going with vibes. There were many words I couldn't have explain the meaning of …

Little known, but a warm recommendation, both for the puzzles and atmosphere: The Swapper. (disclaimer: I did some coding work for this game)

This is interesting, as Ralf's articles always are. I wonder if/how will this concept be formalized. Rust is slowly but surely moving in good direction with regards to formal model…

I applaud your goal! On the name "Respectify": it immediately reminded me of Linus Torvald's famous quote "respect should be earned". That quote, in its literal form, strikes a cho…

Fortunately only a few. Djikstra's is obviously the most reasonable system.

I can't get that demo to work. Tried with both Firefox and Chrome.

I'm not so sure if that's too wrong. Science works by scientist having a model of reality and then testing that model against reality, gathering evidence that fits or doesn't fit t…

I don't love these kinds of throwaway comments without any substance, but... "It Is Difficult to Get a Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understandin…

Yeah, you're right, and the snark might be warranted. I should consider it the same as my stupid (but cute) robot vacuum cleaner that goes at random directions but gets the job don…

Just a supplementary fact: I'm in the beneficial position, against the AI, that in a case where it's hard to provide that automatic feedback loop, I can run and test the code at my…

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The article starts with: > you give it a simple task. You’re impressed. So you give it a large task. You’re even more impressed. That has _never…

It helps if you think that there are only three kinds of hands: - 25 fu hand (chiitoitsu) 16 / 32 / 64 - 30 fu hands: 10 / 20 / 39 / 58 - 40 fu hands (especially toitoi, but also s…

Agreed! I've been playing both offline and in the web client Jantama / Mahjong Soul. Not too far from getting into the gold room. One of my New Year's resolutions for this year is …

Where in the story does NLP (I guess you mean "Neurolinguistic programming" and not "Natural Language Processing") factor in?

It is implied in the beginning: he expects to die before the singularity because of a tendency of heart problems in their family.

Ah, totally agreed. At least there is a clear auditory / motor part in the tasks that seems quite separate. However, I find it also unlikely that the networks are totally separate,…
