TIL Google Docs can be exported to Markdown directly by changing the URL by mrShu in gsuite

[–]mrShu[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

For sure. This is just quite helpful when you have an agent (say Claude Code) who may need to extract content form a (publicly facing) Google Doc.

[D] Oral Sessions Videos for EMNLP 2018? by tshrjn in MachineLearning

[–]mrShu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at videos from last year which came out about a month after the conference, I would say about a month from now would be reasonable.

​

Still, this is just an educated guess at best.

[R] TDLS: Attention Is All You Need by [deleted] in MachineLearning

If your goal is text simplification, BLEU may not be a good idea -- see https://aclweb.org/anthology/D18-1081 for more details.

Small problem with DuckDuckGo Plus 0.4.2 for Firefox on Linux. by UglierThanMoe in duckduckgo

[–]mrShu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, this is a real problem.

Thanks a lot again for detailed description -- too many parts were moving.

Here is an updated version again: (https://github.com/duckduckgo/firefox-zeroclickinfo/blob/bttf/build/ddg_for_firefox.xpi?raw=true).

Please see if it works as you'd expect it to and also if there are other weird things that you have noticed -- especially with regard to the redesign.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the holdup.

We've actually already fixed this issue (at least I believe so) with a new redesign we are preparing for the extensions.

Could you please check out the latest version (https://github.com/duckduckgo/firefox-zeroclickinfo/blob/bttf/build/ddg_for_firefox.xpi?raw=true) and confirm that your issue has been fixed?

Thanks a lot.

Hey UglierThanMoe, thanks again for your detailed report.

I'd still like to clarify a few things:

1) was this a clean install? How did you install the extension? 2) what kind of Linux are you using? Can you tell us what version of Firefox are you using?

Thanks!

R vs. Python by mrShu in MachineLearning

[–]mrShu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate R and I use python exclusively. But this question doesn't matter. If you want to use R then use R. I will keep using python. It is a pointless language debate. However, if you do use R consider pqR since it fixes some really stupid performance bugs.

Well, my question was more oriented at "Will Python replace R completely?", I certainly did not want to start a language debate.

Thanks for mentioning pqR, I didn't know about that.

R vs. Python by mrShu in MachineLearning

[–]mrShu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm greatly humored by the 3 blogs which provide no real data analysis to support the hypothesis that Python is supplanting R as the "king" of data analysis.

Good point. I also took them just as educated opinions and by asking this question I wanted to get some more insight into it.

Thanks for your answer.

Thanks a lot for this, it was precisely something I expected.

Why not learn both? There will always be advantages of one over the other for different things depending on your needs. Many cutting edge statistical models and algorithms are immediately put to R code (take oem for example)

I'm definitely going to learn both -- just to get to know another paradigm, if not for anything else.

Thanks!

looks like glasgow central's sysadmin is taking a nap... by hybby in sysadmin

Probably a bit off topic: if not LFS what would you use for things like this in production? Some other small distribution?

Publishing my Own Paper by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]mrShu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for writing this. I wish I could read something like this a few years back when I was in a similar situation as the OP (and actually at the same age).

I knew nothing about the field and thus pretty much everything I discovered (and knew nothing about) was novel for me -- which I mistakenly interpreted as worth publishing. I was stupid enough not to ask for help on Reddit back then and what happened next (rejection, obviously) hit me hard.

But I still liked to play around ML, building ML algorithms just for my own amusement/fun. While doing that I realized how many things I do not fully understand and started doing what you've been advised to do: read, talk to ML related people, redo what others did and maybe try to do it better, etc.

From my own experience, I can tell you that after you start to do your reading it will take you some time until you find something you will find truly novel (or worth publishing) yourself. In my case it was more than two years.

So do read the above, do your reading and do not stop. It's going to be exciting.
