Very interesting list of deceptive influences. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your comments. I am finding myself getting sucked into the decisiveness and click baiting nowadays. Want to implement some of these counter measures. Here are my thought…

I'm usually curious about various topics, but lately, I've noticed that external, exploitative influences—primarily from advertisements—are nudging me toward interests I wouldn't h…

Introducing zip-sizer, a small CLI, to estimate compressed sizes of directories. It works by choosing a representative sample of the data, compressing it in memory and forming an e…

Hehe. You are right. There are many leftist media outlets. But my point was not to be partisan; just to note that there will be lots of news to cover. Trump is a controversial figu…

Not sure why. Criticizing the republican (especially Trump) government will be hugely profitable - just under 50% of the US population (175M people) is looking for such criticism, …

My question was tongue-in-cheek. I feel the Nobel committee, like every other organization, is also trying to stay relevant and topical. Hard to do this by giving out prizes to old…

:-)

The Nobel Committee has shown a tendency to award prizes not just for meaningful technical contributions, but also for work with just contemporary relevance. This could be seen as …

Seems intuitive, but is there any evidence to support it?

Great post. It's nice that these rules can be trivially demonstrated by simulation. The simulation (and visuals) helps validate the concepts.

Added support for multiple languages, using fasttext's embeddings

Correct.

I assumed you meant computer languages :-) If you mean human languages, yes Google publishes word2vec embeddings in many different human languages. Not sure though how easy it is t…

This implementation does not because the query has to be a word. One way to extend it to phrases is to average the vectors of each word in the phrase. Another way is to have a word…

I would think translation to other languages would be trivial. The model is just a map of word to vector. Every word is converted to it's vector representation; then the query word…

The model in Google drive is the official model from Google and will work. Haven't tried the huggingface model, but, looks very different. Unlikely to work.

Oh.Please explain. The example was entirely arbitrary. Should I change it?
