That’s basically why dictatorships are so hard to overthrow. In real life the game is slightly different, if you choose red (don’t protest) you get a negative outcome. But if you choose blue (protest) you risk being jailed (a very negative outcome) unless enough people also choose blue, in which case the outcome can turn highly positive.
That’s why dictators try to limit protests, not just because of the protests themselves but because they don’t want people to know how many others are willing to protest.
I agree with you. In B2B SaaS you don't sell the software, you sell your expertise in a specific domain and the responsability you take for owning that expertise. The fact that the development costs are nearly zero will make them more valuable and more protifable
First of all, great job! I think the inference will become more and more important.
That being said, I have a question regarding the ease of use. How difficult it is for someone with python/c++ background to get used to zig and (re)write a model to use with zml?
On a side note, if you are running something for days or weeks you should implement checkpointing anyways. I have no idea if matlab allows that for internal operations
These CRUD apps need complex business rules, requiring expertise in the domain and making them configurable on the application level for customer while trying to keep the app not bloated.
Scaling is not the only challenge engineers face, but somehow it's the one that is mostly praised.
To be accurate, IE was not hated by "end-users". It was hated by web developers (understandably) reluctant to support non-standard apis and by informed people.
Realistically, with the title you suggest nobody would have read the post.
A title is not "the most informative and complete sentence summarizing the article", it also has the goal to stimulate curiosity. I understand that we don't want misleading titles but this obsession on titles is not very helpful. I am participating in this useless conversation but I couldn't help myself. Now every single HN post has a comment on how the title is wrong..
I don't get it. An open-source project don't need users? Sure someone could publish a work for the sole goal of publishing it, but most of the time you make something public for a reason (financial or not). In fact, like the other comment in this thread, I find the author's point contradictory to ask for sponsoring their project. Again someone could sponsor something that has no utility, but it seems to be far fetched to say the open-source don't need users.
However, while I disagree with the statement, I agree with the sentiment. Most open-source projects' authors don't care about their users, at least not as much as in the beginning, probably because of the said incentive mismatch.
I am curious what makes the author think that expert reviews are free of any incentives for abusing their influence. Also, if you ever built anything useful in your life, you should know that it's not possible to count solely on word-of-mouth, even in a upotian marketing-free world.
Listen, I get you are disappointed by bad actors, but going to the other extreme is never a solution.
This is one of the examples we keep in mind and that's also why we can't 100% trust public dataset labels. This motivated us to train a Language IDentification system for all the languages we wanted to handle in order to build the monolingual dataset. More details in the paper ;) Or here, if you have questions
hi @btheshoe, I work on this project in the data part. As others mentioned, the amount of data available for a language is not correlated to the number of speakers of that language, which explains the potential impact of focusing on these.
in this work we tried to rely not only on automated evaluation scores but also on human evaluation for exactly this reason: we wanted to have a better understanding of how our model actually performs and how it correlates to automated scores.
That’s why dictators try to limit protests, not just because of the protests themselves but because they don’t want people to know how many others are willing to protest.
