well this really takes me back to fiddling with FruityLoops in all my spare time in my teens. very fun, and I love the code

I think alcohol and tobacco use are primarily symptoms, not causes, of problems. They, along with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other addictions, are strongly correlated with ACE …

this is a good explanation of intrinsic dimension https://eng.uber.com/intrinsic-dimension/

if you use a library for Chinese/Japanese tokenization (which is harder because the lack of space), it seems like the rest of the code would work?

having the laity meditate at all is, AFAIK, a pretty modern development

Meditation is a pretty broad term encompassing many different activities/intentions (though they all look pretty similar from the outside). In the studies I’ve read on the adverse …

it's possible to do NLP at scale much better than they do. they just don't care

> the mask averse amongst us Oh can we coin a term like this for drunk driving? You know, when it’s more convenient to drive home drunk than leave your car out? That’s just being t…

They model a system which they know to be constrained by a closed-form equation called the Hamiltonian. They (cleverly, IMO) force the network’s predictions to be constrained by th…

I think software engineering is depressingly, suboptimally stable. The space of all possible ways to write programs is so, so large and almost completely unexplored. Lisps, Hindley…

He’s saying it’s not a problem for the future, because that implies it’s not a problem now, which he asserts that it is. It’s humor

Part of me wants to ask “but who investigates the Inspector of the LECC?” But I’ve dealt with Elixir and I know that supervision trees rarely need to be very deep in practice

“Emotional load can reduce the requirement for semantic coherence.” - great insight

I think this is a good observation. One thing I’ve been thinking about is probabilistically evaluating traditional software. Every un-caught exception, for example, is usually a fa…

First off, I totally agree. Not as easy as it should be to write an async web server in python. FastAPI is probably your best bet. I usually use Sanic. Easy to accidentally block t…

Thanks! I hadn’t seen VAMPIRE! So stoked to see a new approach to topic modeling. SVD etc are very much a local max

Yeah, if the author of the parent comment is willing to put in work to get the understanding they claim to want, this is the way to go
