Dhall is the FP config language you're thinking of, I think.

Funny, I did almost the exact same thing: https://github.com/colehaus/hammock-public . Though I project to 3D and then put them in an interactive 3D plot. The other fun little thin…

OpenAI was formed as a nonprofit with a specific charter ("OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that …

Are you aware of the history and governance structure of OpenAI?

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, this is precisely why I don't use Home Manager. I've literally never had my NixOS setup break over the course of many years.

https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.11644 is along these lines.

There are other mechanisms for dealing with vanishing and exploding gradients. I (maybe wrongly?) think of batch normalization as being most distinctively about fighting internal c…

There's some discussion in section 3.2 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.10683.pdf

> Ie even lower than my guess of 90% above. These are not comparable numbers. You're comparing "fraction of people" vs "fraction of outcomes". Presumably an eye-roller assigns ~0 p…

Ahh, I was focusing on the "local state" vs "global state" bit. Haskell has ways to address the expression problem: e.g. http://www.cs.ru.nl/~W.Swierstra/Publications/DataTypesALaC…

To the extent that I understand your complaint, there is a functional architecture that alleviates this concern: arrowized functional reactive programming. https://blog.jle.im/entr…

"Carbon taxes are regressive" is too simple, and I'd argue wrong, for a variety of reasons: - Some experts just flatly deny it: "low-expenditure households devote a smaller share o…

Does anyone have any impressions on how this compares to CLRS? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms )

You can use switch statements for a pattern matching analogue. See the "Exhaustiveness Checking" heading at https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types.... .

From the article: "That might sound disturbing from an ecological perspective, but mosquitoes don’t make up a significant portion of any known predator’s diet; there’s just not a l…

I suspect (based on stuff like https://arxiv.org/abs/1510.08419 ) that you'd have had more luck with property tests instead of unit tests.

In some languages, you can ensure that no `.toString()` equivalent is available. Then, your ID is truly opaque and can only be used in the prescribed ways.
