This is due to utf-16, an unforgivable abomination.

Wait… are you betting on exponential or logarithmic returns?

Bad writing is perennial

It’s a real shame Dijkstra rubbed so many people the wrong way. Maybe his incisive polemic, which I greatly enjoy, was all but pandering to a certain elitist sensibility in the end…

These are all expository diagrams. Second-hand and auxiliary by nature. Diagrams can be authoritative, and the ones I’ve seen will break some or all of these rules because they rep…

Memoization is the word here. Can be done in different ways—- of which storing the stack frame is one.

Ah! That’s actually recursion again.

> In the aggregate, almost no programmer can think up code faster than they can type it in. And thank god! Code is a liability. The price of code is coming down but selling code is…

Yes indeed! Except you can also do no memoization, such as the goto statement!

I find the prevailing use of “recursion”, i.e. β-reduction all the way to ground terms, to be an impoverished sense of the term. By all means, you should be familiar with the evalu…

Ah yes, the taboo of sound reasoning.

These are very good questions that deserve unequivocal answers. Alas…

That’s neither here nor there. Everything can be statistically modelled but very few things are reasoning. Same with turing machines.

The killer feature isn’t even fully indexed queries for ever, it’s the serialization formats. Need to do a non-trivial merge of complex domain graphs? Why have you tried string con…

Most vendors use three indexes for triples and 4 or 6 for quads. All the indexes are covering, which is to say they triplicate all data—-in other words the database consists only o…

With the caveat that I was exactly wrong about the books de-listing, I feel you are making my point for me and retreating to a more pragmatic position about defaults. The (quite en…

Listen, most website and book-authors want to be indexed by google. It brings potential audience their way, so most don’t make use of their _right_ to be de-listed. For these model…

Well then I could have been much clearer because I meant something like the latter. An ML model can neither have nor be in breach of copyright so any discussion about how it works,…

What did I write to give you that impression?

Oh come on, you’re being insincere. Wether or not the model is learning from the work just like people is hotly debated as if it would make a difference . Fair use is even brought …

I’m completely flabbergasted by the number of comments implying copyright concepts such as “fair use” or “derivative work” apply to trained ML models. Copyright is for _people_, as…

If there is something new about EA it is, as a matter of public record, not the use of statistically rigorous cost-/benefit analysis. The hubris! Anyhow, I will admit that the (put…

I just really feel… you didn’t, like at all, read what I wrote, you know?
