C-x_C-f
No user record in our sample, but C-x_C-f has activity below (stories or comments). Likely we have partial data — the full bulk-load will fill profiles in.

That's a nice way to put it. FWIW the generalization of binomial coefficient which allows you to express an n-dimensional solution is called a multinomial coefficient [0]. So in a 3d 20x20x20 box we would have (60…
> All these models see a local failure and try to locally defend against it. As maintainers we have to keep pulling the conversation back to the global invariant, which is harder than it should be, and it’s laborious.…
That's funny, I came out of it with the opposite impression. In the section for my native tongue, I zoomed in a few times, here and there, and I only once did I stumble upon an author I knew. To me, writing a book feels…
The author mentioned (Galashin) has some fun software to play with these combinatorial structure. I went to a talk of his that was "interactive" in that to follow along you could play with an interactive widget, but I…
Funnily enough I went into it with a background in math and was surprised about one specific claim that I couldn't quite understand, and it turns out it was subtly incorrect in such a way that it actually adds an…
Spring motion is the motion of systems where the force is proportional to the distance. Many interesting systems (like springs) are near equilibrium, which means that the potential energy is at a local minimum. A spring…

The relevant variable here is the increase in jobs. The crisis in my example is just some exogenous variable. I'm genuinely trying to understand your point. In my view, if one cared more about difference in relative…
I did considered that but then went with Hanlon's razor [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor
Do you think that the employee pool overall would be more or less talented without the H-1B program? What about the tails of the distributions?
I still don't see what the issue is. Consider two scenarios: 1. H-1Bs get massively reduced over the next five years. Tech sector crisis ensues due to market shocks. Foreign workers decrease. American workers go up by…
How are H-1Bs comparable to nepotism?

> A language model is made to predict language <pedantry>Isn't a language model made to predict the next token in a series, which just so happens to be good for predicting not only natural languages, but also formal…
I love Lisp (I'm an Emacs user and often write in Racket for personal projects) but the one thing I never understood about the Lisp community is the emphasis placed on metacircular evaluators. I sure find them beautiful…
These are very cool, thanks. Do you know what kind of jobs are more likely to require Gaussian process expertise? I have experience in using GP for surrogate modeling and will be on the job market soon. Also a resource…
I don't want to dump too many but I found chess - checkers = wormseed mustard (63%) pretty funny and very hard to understand. All the other options are hyperspecific grasslike plants like meadow salsify.
A similar result was found by J. Gagné [0] five years ago, though I don't think he publishes his results outside of his blog (which is well worth a read by the way). [0]…
How did you get started? Was it mostly plug-and-play or was some nontrivial hacking involved? I use emacs and I normally wouldn't mind shaving a yak or two, but right now I'm swamped with work and I'm kinda scared of…
> Also, don't forget the Jacobian and gradient aren't the same thing! Every gradient is a Jacobian but not every Jacobian is a gradient. If you have a map f from R^n to R^m then the Jacobian at a point x is an m x n…
Ah but that's a bit different. The giant component doesn't connect all the neurons, only a fraction. The wiki page doesn't say this but if you have c * n / 2 edges then the fraction of neurons in the giant component is…
What do you mean by well-connected topology? If you mean that you can reach every neuron from any neuron then the number of connections you need is asymptotically n log n / 2 (not up to a constant factor or anything,…
I've mentioned this in another comment but the Freetube [0] client for YouTube has settings that let you hide pretty much every distraction apart from the video. You can even exclude videos in your search result if they…
In the spirit of the video (and the article), I'm watching this on Freetube [0] while hiding the comments, recommended videos tab, and pretty much everything else apart from the video description. [0]…
I agree that the choice of softmax is arbitrary; but if I may be nitpicky, the average weight and the temperature determine one another (the average weight is the derivative of the log of the partition function with…
