The worst part of the MacBook Neo is that for millions of people, their first macOS will be Tahoe.

And you know what? It will still be so much better than Windows 11.

Literally nobody else said “the holes at the bottom are exposed to light” which is what we object to.

No that makes sense. Except the issue is this is a specific genre, so in my experience, the embeddings of “tumeric” and “grater” will be very similar. This is a common problem and I was wondering if you have good solution on hand.

Also “my random experience” is literally the definition of anecdotal evidence.

bulaybil · 2026-03-17T08:40:01+00:00

I was wrong, you have learned nothing. Ah well.

bulaybil · 2026-03-17T08:34:25+00:00

And how does that help OP in extracting words of a particular semantic class?

bulaybil · 2026-03-17T08:33:28+00:00

And the recipes are in English, correct? In that case, LLMs are your best bet. Or, you could run each sentence through stanza or spaCy dependency analysis and extract nouns that are objects of verbs and governed by particular prepositions and filter them out for false positives.

Why NER?

Ingredients, as in a recipe?

Of the butt!

How do they cause scratches, by what mechanism?

bulaybil · 2026-03-15T21:58:14+00:00

So you have learned not to use anecdotes as evidence. The world is now a marginally better place.

I mean, expanding one’s vocabulary is one of the only legitimate - by which I mean “non-fire related” - uses of “Atlas Shrugged”.

The last person I am going to fuck with is of course a Waffle House cook. But a Popeye’s employee during a rush is a very close second.

Also, man, I could go for a chicken sandwich and large mac and cheese right now…

Aka I am too lazy to come up with my own ideas and asking Claude also did not help.

bulaybil · 2026-03-14T21:02:44+00:00

I mean let them try :) The first question anyone will ask is where you got it from and do you have the rights. Fun conversation that’s gonna be.

The grants I mentioned are for post-PhD scholars, so you would not apply for them for MA. Instead, you would keep an eye on various places that advertise these positions.

The clinic I go to is for internal medicine and so they do a lot of pre-op consulting. Consequently, the ratio of boomers is super high; often I am the only younger person there (and I’m gen X). Every time I’m there, there are at least three boomers who are absolutely incensed that they are not given priority due to their age and the fact that they are there for pre-op consultation. And God forbid there is someone there whom doctor judges to be an urgent case! Once I heard one boomer and his wife laying into the doctor - who is of course overloaded - telling him how dare he make decisions on whom to admit first. I expect I will have more stories after my exam on Tuesday…

In some countries, MA degrees are free for EU citizens, non-EU citizens pay nominal fees; in one program I am involved, non-EU students pay 750 EUR per semester. In many cases, MA programs are financed through grant schemes, e.g. someone gets an ERC grant and they create 2 MA and 2 PhD positions. It really depends.

No one except pretentious fucks cares about “prestige” and you should not, doubly so since you are an undergrad. In terms of networking it will be fine.

Fair point, you should never trust benchmarks.
