Yes, although they don't really obviate the issues raised by GP (costs, length, complexity). If anything, some of the largest civil law countries in Europe, like Germany and Italy, can arguably be considered worse than common law count

You can even find the exact number of pentagons (or hexagons, or edges, or vertices) using the equation V - E + F = 2 where V, E, F are the number of vertices, edges, and faces, respectively. This holds for any polyhedron (and other shapes

That's a nice way to put it. FWIW the generalization of binomial coefficient which allows you to express an n-dimensional solution is called a multinomial coefficient [0]. So in a 3d 20x20x20 box we would have (60 multichoose 20, 20, 2

That's funny, I came out of it with the opposite impression. In the section for my native tongue, I zoomed in a few times, here and there, and I only once did I stumble upon an author I knew. To me, writing a book feels like such a mon

Spring motion is the motion of systems where the force is proportional to the distance. Many interesting systems (like springs) are near equilibrium, which means that the potential energy is at a local minimum. A spring is an example, but a

The relevant variable here is the increase in jobs. The crisis in my example is just some exogenous variable. I'm genuinely trying to understand your point. In my view, if one cared more about difference in relative increases inter-gro

Do you think that the employee pool overall would be more or less talented without the H-1B program? What about the tails of the distributions?

I still don't see what the issue is. Consider two scenarios: 1. H-1Bs get massively reduced over the next five years. Tech sector crisis ensues due to market shocks. Foreign workers decrease. American workers go up by 25% (~2.5M). 2. H

These are very cool, thanks. Do you know what kind of jobs are more likely to require Gaussian process expertise? I have experience in using GP for surrogate modeling and will be on the job market soon. Also a resource I enjoyed is the book

A similar result was found by J. Gagné [0] five years ago, though I don't think he publishes his results outside of his blog (which is well worth a read by the way). [0] https://coffeeadastra.com/2020/05/23&#x

Ah but that's a bit different. The giant component doesn't connect all the neurons, only a fraction. The wiki page doesn't say this but if you have c * n / 2 edges then the fraction of neurons in the giant component is 1

What do you mean by well-connected topology? If you mean that you can reach every neuron from any neuron then the number of connections you need is asymptotically n log n / 2 (not up to a constant factor or anything, just n log n &#x2F

I agree that the choice of softmax is arbitrary; but if I may be nitpicky, the average weight and the temperature determine one another (the average weight is the derivative of the log of the partition function with respect to the inverse t

No need to introduce the concept of energy. It's a "natural" probability measure on any space where the outcomes have some weight. In particular, it's the measure that maximizes entropy while fixing the average weight. O
