wassyape··on Deep Neural Networks for YouTube Recommendations [pdf]
Anecdotally? I wonder why, I'm assuming it's in response to spam, since it seems worse to me.
wassyape··on OpenAI Five
Transferability depends on the way the models is set up, and moves on a scale.

Introspectable: given that you can ask unlimited "What if" questions models, we should be able to get a lot of insights into how the models work internally. And you can often design them to be introspectable as some performance or complexity cost. (if that's what you meant by introspectable).

wassyape··on Jupyter Notebook 5.0
I agree. It could be because our brains are used to the old style but there are some objective drawbacks.

The new style right aligns everything which is good for numbers but bad for text. Also, it might just be the screenshot, but the contrast is poorer and the column sizes aren't as fitted.

It's a pity, I would rather have a decent default than to customize every notebook.

So what is it? Some kind of sentiment analysis helper or a link service?
wassyape··on Show HN: Taxaroo – professional tax preparation without leaving your house
This is great, I was doing my tax the other day and thinking "Why the f* don't they make it a web form with simple English terms".

Tiny suggestion: Add a page saying which countries it's available for. Since it had a 'roo' I and ~25M Australian will hope it supports Australia. t was obvious once I started the form but first I look for an about or faq page.

wassyape··on Slovak Constitutional Court cancels mass surveillance of citizens
I want to note that this is corruption as judged by business people. So it may not be much better,
wassyape··on An open source platform for emulating the fruit fly brain
This is very important. When people talk about emulating/uploading human brains, they extrapolate computing power and scanning to a point ~2040 when we will have the capability. But guess what, we have the capacity to upload a roundworm now or a fly and have tried to, and we cannot. Wy? it seems that there is something we are missing and most likely it's the science. tl;dr we need to understand brains better before we can upload a human or a fly, this kind of project will get us there.
