I have an elementary school friend who is now a professor. He sends me this meme every two years, and I laugh every time.

My second album Up In Flames came out 20 years ago today. Here are some of the beautiful photographs taken for the artwork by Jason Evans - still looking as gorgeous today as they did then. Thank you to @TheLeafLabel for putting it out all that time ago!

@SachinvsML @rasbt Will have to try HAN!

@rasbt @SachinvsML Will have to try this!

@rasbt @SachinvsML IMO if youre building from scratch and data is scarce s good approach is: heuristics > BOW > transformer. Often when you get to BOW you can call it a day/business requirements satisfied

You can't parse [X]HTML with regex. Because HTML can't be parsed by regex. Regex is not a tool that can be used to correctly parse HTML. As I have answered in HTML-and-regex questions here so many times before, the use of regex will not allow you to consume HTML. Regular expressions are a tool that is insufficiently sophisticated to understand the constructs employed by HTML. HTML is not a regular language and hence cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Regex queries are not equipped to break down HTML into its meaningful parts. so many times but it is not getting to me. Even enhanced irregular regular expressions as used by Perl are not up to the task of parsing HTML. You will never make me crack. HTML is a language of sufficient complexity that it cannot be parsed by regular expressions. Even Jon Skeet cannot parse HTML using regular expressions. Every time you attempt to parse HTML with regular expressions, the unholy child weeps the blood of virgins, and Russian hackers pwn your webapp. Parsing HTML with regex summons tainted souls into the realm of the living. HTML and regex go together like love, marriage, and ritual infanticide. The <center> cannot hold it is too late. The force of regex and HTML together in the same conceptual space will destroy your mind like so much watery putty. If you parse HTML with regex you are giving in to Them and their blasphemous ways which doom us all to inhuman toil for the One whose Name cannot be expressed in the Basic Multilingual Plane, he comes. HTML-plus-regexp will liquify the n​erves of the sentient whilst you observe, your psyche withering in the onslaught of horror. Rege̿̔̉x-based HTML parsers are the cancer that is killing StackOverflow it is too late it is too late we cannot be saved the transgression of a chi͡ld ensures regex will consume all living tissue (except for HTML which it cannot, as previously prophesied) dear lord help us how can anyone survive this scourge using regex to parse HTML has doomed humanity to an eternity of dread torture and security holes using regex as a tool to process HTML establishes a breach between this world and the dread realm of c͒ͪo͛ͫrrupt entities (like SGML entities, but more corrupt) a mere glimpse of the world of reg​ex parsers for HTML will ins​tantly transport a programmer's consciousness into a world of ceaseless screaming, he comes, the pestilent slithy regex-infection wil​l devour your HT​ML parser, application and existence for all time like Visual Basic only worse he comes he comes do not fi​ght he com̡e̶s, ̕h̵i​s un̨ho͞ly radiańcé destro҉ying all enli̍̈́̂̈́ghtenment, HTML tags lea͠ki̧n͘g fr̶ǫm ̡yo​͟ur eye͢s̸ ̛l̕ik͏e liq​uid pain, the song of re̸gular exp​ression parsing will exti​nguish the voices of mor​tal man from the sp​here I can see it can you see ̲͚̖͔̙î̩́t̲͎̩̱͔́̋̀ it is beautiful t​he final snuffing of the lie​s of Man ALL IS LOŚ͖̩͇̗̪̏̈́T ALL I​S LOST the pon̷y he comes he c̶̮omes he comes the ich​or permeates all MY FACE MY FACE ᵒh god no NO NOO̼O​O NΘ stop the an​*̶͑̾̾​̅ͫ͏̙̤g͇̫͛͆̾ͫ̑͆l͖͉̗̩̳̟̍ͫͥͨe̠̅s ͎a̧͈͖r̽̾̈́͒͑e n​ot rè̑ͧ̌aͨl̘̝̙̃ͤ͂̾̆ ZA̡͊͠͝LGΌ ISͮ̂҉̯͈͕̹̘̱ TO͇̹̺ͅƝ̴ȳ̳ TH̘Ë͖́̉ ͠P̯͍̭O̚​N̐Y̡ H̸̡̪̯ͨ͊̽̅̾̎Ȩ̬̩̾͛ͪ̈́̀́͘ ̶̧̨̱̹̭̯ͧ̾ͬC̷̙̲̝͖ͭ̏ͥͮ͟Oͮ͏̮̪̝͍M̲̖͊̒ͪͩͬ̚̚͜Ȇ̴̟̟͙̞ͩ͌͝S̨̥̫͎̭ͯ̿̔̀ͅ

We've been working on new https://t.co/Bm8UTLziDB workflows that let you use the @OpenAI API to kickstart your annotations, via zero- or few-shot learning. We've just published the first recipe, for NER annotation 🎉 https://t.co/ArmFcPE8EG

Here's what, why and how. 🧵

i’m in a code review with elon musk. ive got the CSS for https://t.co/iXbfr5d1Jg on 3 monitors. my browser’s in dark mode so it looks cool. “this part?” he asks, pointing to code for the Giant Omelette. “caches tweets in the mainframe cyberhex,” i say. he nods. “as i suspected”

/1 If you use JSON files, you'll probably like this tool 👇

Nested JSON files are hard to read.

𝐉𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 generates graph diagrams from JSON files and makes them easy to read.

Additionally, the generated diagrams can be downloaded as images.

It's kinda ridiculous to have these million dollar LMs and then NLP researchers are like: the current SOTA prompt for recipe generation is "I want to cook a yummy meal" but we found that average recipe tastiness increased 1.3% if you append "#potatosalad" and a cow emoji

So mind-boggling that the main discovery in research is a specific incantation (i.e. “Let’s think step by step”). Does anyone not recognize how insane this appears?!

Fascinating HN comment from someone who's company built a custom distributed data warehouse using compressed SQLite DB files in S3 that were queried using Lambda functions orchestrated by PostgreSQL running a custom foreign data wrapper https://t.co/gvRviN8D9R
