Yeah, I am currently trying to work with Opus 5 to refresh myself on deep learning fundamentals, and... it's a mixed bag. I'm glad I already am familiar with the subject matter, as…

Riding in the family rail car like it’s 1895 (and you’re a robber baron)

We chatted a few months back -- congrats on launch! Looks like a great UX.

Amazing! GitHub actions to compute a giant skim matrix is an incredible hack. I pretty regularly work with social science researchers who have a need for something like this... wil…

Worth noting that there already exists an ecosystem of these sorts of contracting firms (nava, skylight, truss I believe, forgetting even more) that, basically, pitch themselves as…

Came to post this — it’s the same underlying technology, just a lot more compute now.

Hi HN! I've spent a couple of months fiddling with OCR and wanted to share some of my findings. The approach I share here (fine-tuning recent deep learning models) is the first one…

Related reading; explains the same concept quite well IMO with NYC subway data. This is where I learned about this concept. [1] https://erikbern.com/2016/04/04/nyc-subway-math [2] …

Yeah, I think MS' is the best out there, but agree that the usability leaves something to be desired. 2 thoughts: 1. I believe the IR jargon for getting a JSON of this form is Key …

Figures, too! Yeah you could write some logic essentially on top of a library like this, and tune based on optimizing for some notion of recall (grab more surrounding context) and …

Funnily enough, this is another great tactic for getting emails returned (looping in someone with more leverage than you or asking them to follow up for you)!

We should talk! I do work on automatically coding products for a shipping survey at the Census Bureau. One of the earliest production uses of ML here at Census :) 5 minute deck: ht…

Yep, my read too. The code he provides is definitely the Clopper-Pearson formula. [1] This confused me as well, since I've always used the normal central-limit-based confidence int…

I feel like they're learning from the mistakes of their forbears and getting out before the getting's truly bad...

Author here! I'll keep an eye on this thread and would love to discuss anything in the post that's of interest to you.

Awesome idea! Let me make a shameless plug for my web app that does something like this for ubuntu LTS distros: https://www.lilite.co/ I'd love for it to be made obsolete though :)…

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn't particularly dedicating this to new users. This solves a problem for me, an experienced *nix user. I'm not even sure it /would/ solve a problem fo…

Hi all, I created this site! The motivation was basically a version of ninite[1] for Linux. So very desktop-focused. I actually got in touch with the ninite folks, who used to run …

A few good ones here - another really interesting, current initiative is Bolsa Família, a Brazilian assistance program that functions similarly to a basic income subsidy - the main…

WRT the TWA flight center at Kennedy, this coming weekend is the last chance for the general public to see it before redevelopment, via Open House NY! http://www.ohny.org/

The issue here is the spec - no runtime errors at the source code level is, as I understand, a completely different specification than end-to-end implementation correctness. In par…
