I am trying to identify model architecture candidates that could, like transformers, have "emergent" properties when they are scaled (see https://arxiv.org/abs/2206.07682). Some co…

Try to learn more about industries that sound interesting to you, and meet people from those industries to learn what they do. Speaking with lots of different people and learning a…

Is there a different writer with a similar viewpoint we could read about, if we don't want to read his work?

Dapps haven't gone away. I'd say that trend has evolved into DeFi, which seems to be growing quickly.

Something that's helped me recently is trying out giving up on all my goals one at a time. There was one goal that I really started to miss working on once I gave it up, and that's…

Why was the mobility for women bad? Was it sexism?

Why would they choose to use Reddit posts and not their own proprietary database of user messages, potentially the largest in the world?

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I want to help build the city of the future, but as a data scientist, I have no idea where to start. This is advice I haven't followed myself, …

Okay but how does a "knowledge worker" like me, and many of the other readers of HN who work in jobs with little exposure to large-scale structures, get started building the city o…

Thanks! The $1,095 price tag is pretty steep. It's a lot of money to part with for some data that I'm not sure I'll find valuable. I'll look into doing a free trial with them thoug…

Something that I really wish I had was a database with all of the industries that exist, the markets within them, and the size of those markets and how much they are expected to gr…

Great idea! I would probably use this more if you looked at the futures performance from yesterday's market close to this morning, in addition to past 1 day. The reason why is that…

This is a great cause, but it would probably be a good idea to explain somewhere on the website what exactly a dead man switch is and how it can be useful for domestic violence vic…

Great idea! I've wished for something like this, except for personal contacts because it would help me get on top of sending thank-you letters.

They need to hide the cliffs and hills that are in front of the skier to make it realistic :)

While I haven't read the book, the corresponding multi-part documentary "The Ascent of Money" is a really good introduction to what money is and how it evolved over the past centur…

"air quality in most places has continued to improve, forest cover has increased, and more rivers are safe to fish in" This makes me really happy to read. I know that in the 90's, …

To add to this, the ultra-wealthy, university funds, funds-of-funds, etc. are interested in capital preservation, according to the article. This means they likely will not reinvest…

I've never seen a Pandas tutorial advocating the for-loops the author describes and I have rarely come across for-loops in other people's Pandas code. I think the article could rem…

I've installed hypothes.is on your recommendation and tried it out. There are a bit more steps than I'd hope for, such as needing to sign into chrome and storing the hypothes.is-ge…

I am extremely frustrated by the lack of a web app that will simply store PDFs and let you annotate them. For example, a simple navigation sidebar and a display to the right would …

I saw an article today where Steve Wozniak said he didn't think autonomous cars would come to fruition during his lifetime. However, I have not read very much about any sort of inn…
