This project is the first that tickles my brain in the right serendipitous ways; it merges topics of my recent interests.

However, after a VERY short perusal, I grew a giant sense of empathy for non-native English speakers. The readme is gentle enough to English speakers (aka: +95% English) no less I felt like I muddled through renaming tokens in my mind as I went. However, that quickly showed me two things.

1. It reminds me why I never seem to finish classic Russian literature… so often get lost in the introductory parade of names that are a cache miss for my usual set of names.

2. This is perhaps a significant cultural muscle that has never been necessitated for English speakers. Since the earth has largely been using English (in some capacity) for significantly longer than my life span - as my favorite joke says in the punch line “what do you call someone who only knows one language… uni-lingual… jk: American”

PS: it seems like there could be an open registry maintained by “Americans like me” who would rather pre-process the code for tokens within the docs and src… seems like a “DefinitelyTyped style” definitions registry would be very niche, but SUPER useful.

Nice project.

I also would love to hear more about the cluster shapes and cardinality of the coordinate system. I consider myself am pretty versed in data analysis, however with less expertise on NLP topics (eg t-SNE).

So a quick blurb like: the units on the axes in the graph are “a reduced embedding space” designed to keep structure and to reduce the dimensionality such that the clusters could be plotted on screen…

(I’m not even sure that’s correct, but I would have loved for you to have informed me on the one sentence visualization choice and then point me to t-SNE.)

Overall nice project - and it reminds me of a painful professional analysis lesson I have had to re-learn more than once.

> After working for NN hours on an analysis, and finally breaking through and completing it, overlooking the title and labels is the biggest footgun I have ever dealt with.

Does anyone know of a typescript translation for each of those validation models?

Or maybe even a way to discover related statically typed definitions based on the validation rules?

It would be really nice to not define parts of a data model that provide little to no business value - but where you can easily “stub your toe”.

At first I was amused to consider what a ‘POST, PUT, DELETE’ means for this API. Then I realized that the conceptual meanings are straight forward. Then I realized that democracy is a fancy authorization regime for doling out ‘write access’.

(Added edit) I too agree with the sentiments that a v2 should have a finer grain resolution where the data model would recognize a bill as a collection of clauses or statements. And attribution and intent of those clauses would be transformative (I think) for regular citizens.

Because then the internet would be able to track unintended consequences by author. This is arguably what the internet does best.

I love the scientific discussion here, but much of this seems to miss the idea of “millennial minimalism”. The preference tends towards plain/simple buildings so that nature can have the main stage.

Have no fear Gen Z is a pendulum towards radical 90s colors.

Looks fun reminds me of Google Desktop search from way back in the day - you know back in the days of google also selling a search appliance for enterprise data centers.

I have always been interested in the star trajectory/ history of various projects. But I suppose I will have to wait till I get to my laptop. This is TOUGH to use on mobile.

Honestly I have been so happy with the unreasonable effectiveness of RSS readers. It’s just incredibly delightful, and wish it weren’t as niche. However, perhaps I should revel in its ability to fly just off the radar.

Of all the random internet memes and love affairs. I am always grateful that the internet chose this one early on. It just as easily could have landed on Selena Gomez, or insert other artist who has catchy ear worms - but might not have aged so gracefully.
