    Downloaded the app, searched for mexican restaurants in my area and it missed a few. I tried searching for the restaurants specifically and they were in the DB and categorized as m…

    I'm looking for a reliable source on why LUNA crashed, and am unsure where to find one. Anyone know of a good article or video explainer? Thanks.

    I had basically the same experience. In general I'd prefer to pay for a massage of the same price than a 1 hour float.

    To add another example, say a model learned that ice cream sales correlate well to forest fire rates. Would it be good for the model to predict forest fires based on ice cream sale…

    Yes, but the question is not whether that's true, but whether that's useful . You said: "an interesting opportunity for someone to skip implementation of anti bias and potentially …

    I agree to some extent. I'm not sure whether AI should be used for resume screening, but I'd lean towards no until biases are proven to not be an issue (if that's possible). There …

    I think that you don't quite understand how these models pick up these biases. If a model is trained on a large text corpus, and in that corpus 80+% of the programmers are men, the…

    Making sure that NLP algorithms are unbiased is important not just from a social justice perspective, but from a perspective of how useful the algorithms are. As an example, if I w…

    I actually really like apple's screen time limit capabilities. Being able to limit my time on twitch/youtube has been really helpful for me. However, one thing I would like to see …

    Figure this is as good a place as any to ask this: I have been looking for good books to read for learning about foreign policy. Didn't see any foreign policy lists on the linked c…

    One of my favorite automations is a slack bot I made to send me a message when a process finishes: https://github.com/spohngellert-o/SlackProcessTrackerBot As a data scientist I of…

    Does anyone else reject the premise of the article? I understand that polling definitely missed big in some areas, but isn't that normal? Polling is really hard. You have to make a…

    I made this slack bot to track processes that take a while (I'm in the ML space), and get a notification when they finish. I thought this might be useful to others, and would love …

    I think that all the pain points of the article are a result of not using notebooks for their purpose. In my opinion, notebooks are good for: 1. POC/MVP: Showing that what you want…

    This would be an awesome tool for streaming :) You should also consider posting this on the chess subreddit: http://reddit.com/r/chess

    Yeah, sorry. Looking back into it looks like I was really re-inventing the wheel here. Still a fun exercise for me. Thanks :)

    Actually, apologies I see now. I always associated generator's with the `yields` keyword, but maybe I have to look into them again. Thanks!

    The first one is clearly easier to read than the second. However the first one is slow. I believe fast_any is easier to read than generator code.

    I wouldn't call it artificially building something, but I suppose yes. I also find this code to be much more readable than generator code. Once you understand the function, all you…

    Thanks so much! Want to get started with it before I decide to buy a book on it, but seems like a great language to program functionally in without all the hurdles :)

    Does anyone know any good learning resources for this language aside from the tutorial. Just tried jumping in and got weird compile errors when trying to work with lists.

    I dislike tech interviews as much as the next guy, but let me pitch my two cents from the startup world. The company I currently work at has very few employees, and each new hire i…
