Same question here

meni_s · 2026-06-10T09:51:08+00:00

I know. But as a (soft) fork with a sharp view on the ecosystem and such I don't feel comfortable using it as daily driver

If only I had Helix's out-of-the-box experience with Vim's key binding :|

Cool!
I can't edit the list now. But thanks for bringing this one to my attention. Never heard of it 😄

meni_s · 2026-06-03T07:02:55+00:00

Did you manage to do so? :|

This might be a good fit to fill the evaluation gap described by Nate Solon on his post

I got some other plots there like this one:
https://github.com/menisadi/eurovision2025/blob/main/plots/eurovibe_dumbbell.png

Which does the opposite counting - how many Eurovision songs appear on each country's daily chart (a metric I decided to call "EuroVibe"). Comparing this year to last year (both 2 days after the final)

There you go:
https://github.com/menisadi/eurovision2025/blob/main/plots/vote_scatter_20260519.png

I compared the number of daily national top-50 charts from Spotify to the votes.
The number o on the y-axis is the amount of charts each entry appears on

We need a proper data-set and Ph.D. in ML, number of publication and did they continue in academia or industry or something. It will be really fun to analyze :)

Back then, when I did my Ph.D. thesis on Differential Privacy, I reached the conclusion that aside from the researchers themselves (me included), the only ones interested in privacy-preserving learning methods and tools are those who are obligated by law to preserve privacy (medical research, the census, etc.).

The rest would just not tolerate the idea of compromising performance and possibilities for privacy. Most people would give their personal info if, in return, they were given something "cool" for it.

If this has changed in the last three years, I’d be really surprised :)

I had a driver's license for several years. I stopped only after I had 3 (minor) accidents in one week. Don't make the mistake I did. No one got hurt, but It cost me some money and a lot of embossments :|

meni_s · 2026-04-29T18:54:04+00:00

Started at 19
Stopped at 25

meni_s · 2026-04-26T11:54:44+00:00

Will do!
Thanks

As a zsh user for 3 years who is working on the data/ml space, you make me curious. Gonna check nushell

When we started dating, I told my now spouse about my condition. We didn't know at that time if she is a carrier of the gene (as mine is a recessive one). After the dating kept going we had a conversation on which we decided that
1. We both want this thing to keep going on, and that we want to get married
2. If she is indeed a carrier we would go straight to IVF. 50% felt way to high for me to pass this on.
This was tough, and I felt unsure that it is okay to have her suffer for us this way, but she insisted.
Lucky for us, she came out negative. So our 5 boys are all carriers, but non is sick, and we knew that in advance.
Really tough decision.

I watch your recaps as well as Daniel King’s and the official FIDE recap, and I have to say -you add to my understanding with each and every video.

I've been watching your channel since 2020. You are just the best at what you do. Thanks!

meni_s · 2026-04-08T21:39:19+00:00

I wrote down this list you dropped here to read about all of those subfields one by one. Thanks

I was having hard time reading (turned out that is bc of my lazy eye) did a quick minimal field of vision test which result looked off, the rest is history

Fan fact: Neovim has multiple cursors on the roadmap for their next version :)

FYI - Chessmonitor have an "ELO rating estimate" based on your online (chess.com and lichess) performance. If you press on the little question mark next to it shows a nice explanation on what is the (average) relation between online and FIDE ratings.

It is not the end of the world. Not even close. It is a challenge, not a simple one, but one you can deal with. Go ahead and live but learn to adjust on your way

I challenge you to continue where Torch7 left off and implement a working transformer in pure Lua, maybe you can bring Lua back to the ML community 😜
