Last night I was running run_translator.py script and found that their scripts not actually allow people training models from scratch.

But hey, I was able to read the code, fix that small thing that needed to work for my case and ran my experiment.

I could never do that in AllenNLP. Go figure.

I think you are missing the point.

The hackability quotient of AllenNLP is way low.

I'll give you specific examples where AllenNLP overdid it, while HuggingFace was better just by keeping it simple.

Vocabulary class. HuggingFace just used a python dictionary. I can't think of one person who said they needed higher level abstraction. Turns out a python dictionary is pickle-able, saving to a text file is one line code, while the AbstractSinglettonProxyVocabulary is not and no one wants to care in the first place.

Tokenizer class. HuggingFace just used a python dictionary to return strings and integers. I can't think of one person frustrated by it. It's printable, picklable, and everything in between people can fiddle with. And boy where do I start about AllenNLP's overdoing of Tokenizers.

Trainer class. vs. HuggingFace example scripts. The scripts are just much more readable, tweakable, debuggable etc. HF didn't bother with AbstractBaseTrainer class bs.

It just shows they never understood the playing field.

- First, I don't think anyone thought AllenNLP was a good choice for high performance production systems. Again HuggingFace clearly understood the problem and built a fast tokenizer in Rust.

- A math, physics, linguistics, or even CS PhD student who know basics of coding would prefer bare bone scripts. They just want to hack it off and focus on research. Writing good code is not their objective.

Just my opinion.

It's one of the overly abstracted libraries. Too hard to tweak something. HuggingFace Transformers did a better job at keeping things simpler.

when has his fund ever outperformed sp500 or has it at least remain uncorrelated?

"We're not in a recession, we're in the early stages of a depression. A depression is a self-feeding liquidity crisis - it's a cash-flow squeeze that occurs when the economy turns down, inventories are being sold, borrowings increased, and liquidity reduced." - Raymond T. Dalio, New York Times, Jun 27, 1982

"For decades the numbers have told us that each time the capacity utilization figure moves over 85 percent, the inflation rate rises, and also that each inflation cycle tends to peak at a higher level than the preceding one. During this inflation cycle, we expect capacity utilization to cross the 85 percent line by early 1985, when the CPI should be running at an annual rate of 7.8 percent and well on its way to a cyclical peak of about 11.5 percent sometime in 1986." - Raymond T. Dalio, New York Times, Jun 17, 1984

while its sleazy to not be forthcoming, I've a feeling in general a private competition is better than a US gov. Sometimes it's hard to create right private marketplaces, and healthcare is one of those areas.

Germany.

I ain't even gonna explain it.

Isn't a decent auth library boilerplate at this point?

What would be a good place for a beginner to start working on a problem related to IO economics of platforms?

I've studied MITx Microeconomics course. It appears undergrad level Micro course, and a background in machine learning and software engineering.

I suppose investors want to optimize "we told you before, we are right".

I appreciate that they are releasing their log book detailing the challenges faced.

She was at Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. It's -the- most elite intellectual society. The top 1% of the 1% academics have to compete for admission. If that doesn't wash away illformed biases, I don't know what can! What she accomplished is no joke!! Huge respect tbh.

I paid $300 for TurboTax to fill two input boxes because I found the W2-C form too confusing

Hinton et al. self cite. Schmidhuber et al. self cite. One got Turing, the other got angry.

I'm interested to explore GA -- What are some cool GA papers published recently, which research labs focus on it?

except I've no control over what I am attending

PM Narasimha Rao would speak in the local language of the states he visited during his tenure in politics. After his premiership, wrote a fiction novel indirectly sharing his experience in politics. His skill in language translation helped in climbing the political ladder because so few national politicians could speak more than their regional language.

It's quite amazing that he learned COBOL and BASIC and wrote UNIX programs during his career in politics. He's credited with liberalizing industrial policies that helped Software/IT services industry dramatically grow in the following decade after his tenure.

His secretary BN Yugandhar is the father of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

If you haven't spent time learning to code, I strongly suggest spending a semester learning Python. I cannot overstate how many windows this alone can open up to you.

I know this is another +20 hours of your time but it's definitely worth it.

This is a good point. I would suggest this sort of branching out too. But I hope you realize how rare was your hire in the industry.

Thanks for bringing it up. Will update soon. Is it the editor?

sorry to crash here, but I've made a version of it before. If people want try and give some feedback: https://logfile.app

alternate hypothesis is statistically insignificant. with a 300k sample size a p-value 0.04. damn.

we have so many consumer facing apps. you'd want to maintain all those and actually have a life to use those? good luck!

something that only showed up in mainstream media 10 years after smart phones got launched. gawd.

self hosting is not worth the time and effort.

yes! googol is cheaper and the bottom line matters to lot of people. perhaps this is a good way to ask people whether they'd pay additional 5-10$ for privacy.

congrats! wishing you good luck

people spent their bachelors degree solving problems of some kind. turns out problems of different kind requires different bachelor degrees. for porkin sake, people need to grow up and accept that the state of the art measurement models of human raw intelligence have flaws so much that they can be rendered useless.
