angrais··on Act-1: Transformer for Actions
How were the demonstrations annotated? Did you use annotations?
angrais··on Ask HN: Why hasn't the deep learning community embraced Julia yet?
You may want to have a look at the `click` module for development CLIs in python. It certainly makes my life easier.
angrais··on Cravings for fatty foods traced to gut-brain connection
How do you know that's why you craved sweet foods?

It could have been a number of other reasons and you're attributing it to the wrong one.

angrais··on The culture of rejection in computer science publications
>> One additional technique I learned from others is to use submissions to conferences as a way to get feedback on your work without any expectation that it gets accepted. You do that early knowing there are flaws, but do it to get early warnings from reviewers about rejection points.

This is, of course, one if the problems with current research as it wastes everyone's (yours, reviewers, ACs, etc) time. In particular, because you're not guaranteed practicable or actionable feedback and because you're increasing the time reviewers must review work (i.e., more papers to review as submissions are higher and quality lower).

angrais··on My HCI toolbox: Methods for designing and evaluating UIs
It's difficult for me to follow what you said.

What specifically do you want to draw researchers attention to? Can you give an example?

Your example above of "common working loops" and essentially think time around coding has been studied extensively previously. Before making recommendations, I want to first ensure we're on the same page.

Potential keywords (and conferences) are CSCW and CHI.

angrais··on Git with Multiple Email Addresses
I similarly have multiple git accounts and repos. When I clone a repo i do so via SSH. When I am in the folder of one repo (say a GitHub.com repo) then the ssh account that cloned the repo is used.

I'm not near my laptop, but it's two lines of code in the SSH config files and that's it.

Does anyone follow a similar pattern?

angrais··on Learning The Elite Class
Yes, but only a small portion of people are working in tech, and those who are tend to be middle class white males anyway.
angrais··on Learning The Elite Class
I agree and you've summarised what I wanted to say.

One addition: social mobility is possible in almost any class based society. So using one such example does not prove that class in USA==wealth.

angrais··on Brazil's answer to the Sichuan pepper
Dried peppercorns are not necessarily Sichuan peppers, which are distinctly used in Sichuan cuisine. So while it may be a staple in Chinese pantry (and mine too) it is certainly tied to specific cuisine.
angrais··on Brazil's answer to the Sichuan pepper
Any reason why your Pinyin is written in ASCII and not unicode (as OP)?
angrais··on Making Things Think – AI Book
Is there an epub/mobi version? I'd love to read it on a kindle.
angrais··on LeCun's 2022 paper on autonomous machine intelligence does not cite prior work
That's my point. I didn't replace the argument with any other. My original comment concerned citation practices whereas you're arguing about something else.

So it's not a straw man, but rather that we're having different discussions.

angrais··on LeCun's 2022 paper on autonomous machine intelligence does not cite prior work
I'm not sure you know what Strawman means. Are you a researcher? Have you published research papers?

>> The options are: cite him, slight him, or prove him wrong.

Again, are you a researcher? These are not the options. Also what even is "slight him" or "prove him wrong"? My comments above are about citation practices not this one researcher in particular.

>> I think he's made it clear that he won't accepts slights without a fight, so one can either show him where he's wrong, cite him as he plainly makes clear one should, or admit that he's being shut out for unscientific reasons.

There is nothing to fight about nor nothing to "prove". There are many reasons to cite an author and being the first to publish a paper many years ago about a topic does not automatically deem citation. That's not how science works. It's how (unfortunately) the academic churn of paper writing works at times.

FYI: it's not "unscientific" to not cite a paper. It's almost impossible to cite all relevant works, so the author of a paper selects the most relevant. Obviously this is biased and can become political (e.g., Schmidhuber), but flamming online about not being cited doesn't mean you must cite an author.

angrais··on LeCun's 2022 paper on autonomous machine intelligence does not cite prior work
You do not have to cite every paper under a specific topic nor do you have to cite the first paper that introduces a paper. Why? Maybe those papers are not well written. Maybe a recent paper covers the idea better, etc.

So no, he does not have to be cited just because.

angrais··on Red Engine: modern scheduling framework for Python applications
If it took less than 5 minutes to boot then I can't see why it wouldn't work.

How would that work for other schedulers? Also, if a server reboots that's quite bad all round anyway. Hopefully you'd be notified directly.

angrais··on Swag in the Tech Industry
Why couldn't you accept it, then wear it when you're not pregnant or nursing? Could be a nice gift to your future self (depending on the t-shirt!)
angrais··on Flowers for Algernon (1965) [pdf]
Your second paragraph: could it not be summarised as "fantasy" and thus sci-fi Vs fantasy?
angrais··on The most livable cities
What? In my experience, Germans don't refer to their ethnicity as German.

Besides, what if they are mixed race? Those who claim to have German ethnicity certainly could be other than white.

Quite a surprising take there @DeathArrow ...

angrais··on My 40-liter backpack travel guide
While true, OP is a man, so it does also leave me wondering _why_ his undies are in such a state after a days use?
angrais··on Science of Fasting
Can you explain the .75lbs number you provided? How often do you anticipate a person to lose that much? Care to provide literature for your claims?
angrais··on Fuck Your Miracle Year
I'm confused... Are you suggesting Einstein was not human, e.g., an alien?
angrais··on The 'Batman Effect': How having an alter ego empowers you (2020)
Yet understood very little!
angrais··on Tell HN: Startups harvesting GitHub commit emails for marketing purposes
The real concern should be: Developed as an npm package.

I mean, really? It's a shell script wrapped as a package to gain traction. What has the state of the Dev world become, indeed ...

angrais··on How I operated as a Staff engineer at Heroku (2020)
Well ... Go on then! What are the other 20 that you recommend, sorted by your personal favourites?
angrais··on Johnny Cash Has Been Everywhere (Man) (2012)
I'll be honest, I read this comment last night and wanted to revisit it as I haven't heard Siouxsie's version.

What makes you enjoy it more?

angrais··on Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
You're not alone.

angrais··on A report on exercise and sleep (2021)
When do you take this walk and how do you spare 1-2h a day? Do you have kids?
angrais··on Self-host your static assets (2019)
Self hosting means downloading the source of a script (e.g., jQuery), and hosting on the servers your site/app serve from. So I assume that GPs site is hosted on AWS and this may make more sense?

Else yes, a bit confusing.

angrais··on Ask HN: Have you ever sold a domain-name? How was your experience selling it?
Perhaps the person that bought it from you also owns other domains with the same name, e.g., a .com domain.

That way, if they list one very high, perhaps they'll get an above average offer on the .com, then when they sell that, the same seller will buy the .Io for a cheaper price. Such as 10k.
