It is unclear this model should be on that leaderboard because we don't know whether it has been trained on mteb test data. It is worth noting that their own published material [0]…

Though not relevant to the Atlantic ocean, it is worth noting that the Australian coral reef has in fact recovered from the disastrous state it was after the bleaching and damage e…

I believed the author of the blog was referring to tech roles specifically (not sales or similar). I can say from personal experience that, at least in Australia, tech workers for …

Though I agree with the idea that MLPs are theoretically more "capable" than transformers, I think seeing them just as a parameter reduction technique is also excessively reductive…

Privacy is (a) freedom. The reason why people care about privacy is not necessarily because giving up privacy has some directly observable negative effect. But, simply, living with…

I have very recently published a mobile plant identification app ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hiddengard... ). It's the first mobile app I have ever written …

Lack of differentiability is actually a very important feature of the underlying optimization problem. You might think that it doesn't matter because ReLU is, e.g., non-differentia…

Only tangentially related, but I have been trying to enroll for Apple's developer program for almost 3 months now. Understanding what the problem is is essentially impossible. Goin…

No layoffs at WiseTech.

Would you be able to elaborate on your approach to TDD with spark sessions? You can persist them, which is only useful if you are doing multiple tests in a run. But I find myself r…

Could you elaborate on how you use the tool for the two purposes you mentioned?

Adding to the answers already given (complexity related to the computation of full Hessians). First order methods, i.e., methods that only require gradients, are the methods of cho…

This is not correct and proves the point made in the parent's comment. Australia had much more severe bush fires in the 70s [0]. Note that many Australian plants are have evolved t…

You focused your 10 replies to his post on the unimportant bits instead of addressing the many plots referenced that clearly indicate what he means. How does the data referenced ma…

It is a conservative leaning news outlet. You may not agree with the view point but that does not imply that it is not respectable.

I see a lot of complaints about this but find little information about what the actual problem is. The abc link referenced mentions that Murdoch's reach through physical newspapers…

What evidence do you have to support your claim? Many countries have been subjected to sanctions for years, yet their military power hasn't diminished significantly (NK, Iran, ...)…

Have had to do lots of technical / latex-y drawings in the past as academic, and found Ipe [0] to be incredibly useful. It is very minimalistic and easy to use. The images produced…

check scikit-learn feature selection utilities https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/feature_selection.ht... besides techniques mentioned in other posts (l1 regularization) seque…

A bit off putting how nonchalantly people are asking for economic sanctions on a population of 144 million people that are already quite poor. Not defending Russia here - but let's…

It appears a cyclist has never zoomed past you on a path downhill. If for whatever reason you step in a direction the cyclist doesn't expect and you collide, at the bare minimum bo…

From the perspective of the 20 drivers behind you, you are the inconsiderate person.

The point the article raises is whether those "non-FAANG engineers" should be using serverless at all. Will their requirements ever scale to a point where it actually makes sense f…

I use django-cookiecutter [0] for most of my projects as it sets up a myriad of things, saving an incredible amount of time if you need your app to be production ready quick. May b…
