That is interesting. Asking as a complete ignoramus - is there not a way to do this now? Like start off with a 100 of reagent and at every step use a bit and discard if wrong
- ssivark 2y agoBut for every step that turns out to be "correct" you now have to go back and redo that in your held-out sample anyways. So it's not like you get to save on repeating the work -- IIUC you just changed it from depth-first execution order to breadth-first execution order.

- HappMacDonald 2y agoSo just to make sure I'm on the same page: you're bemoaning how commonly people abbreviate uncommon sayings?
- Vampiero 2y agoI'm bemoaning the fact that I have to google random acronyms every time an American wants to say the most basic shit as if everyone on the internet knows their slang and weird four letter abbreviations And googling those acronyms usually returns unrelated shit unless you go specifically to urban dictionary And then it's "If I understand correctly". Oh. Of course. He couldn't be arsed to type that
- tmtvl 2y agoI'm not a native English speaker, but IIUC is clearly 'If I Understand Correctly'. If you look at the context it's often fairly easy to figure out what an initialism means. I mean even I can usually deduce the meaning and I'm barely intelligent enough to qualify as 'sentient'.
