On the contrary, I think using expected value to explain the value of insurance from the perspective of an insurance holder is a misunderstanding of insurance. People don't buy insurance to optimize the average case; they buy it to opt

It's a benefit for health system C-suit execs because it makes physicians "more efficient," and it's ultimately the health system C-suite who will be signing off on the contracts for five years of AI messenger service or

> Insurance isn't a redistribution mechanism That's exactly what insurance is. The whole premise is that they will dip into other people's payments to pay you if you ever encounter a covered issue. If insurance only ever

I'd say it's the opposite. I've never heard quicksort referred to as a O(n^2) algorithm for example, always as an O(n log n) algorithm with O(n^2) worst-case. Maybe in an interview you would explicitly say average-case, but I

My personal experience is that it depends on the context. Writing new functionality is usually easy if it's self contained. If I know what inputs I will have and what outputs I want, then I generally have a pretty solid idea of how to

Nothing about big-O is specific to worst case. You can calculate a big-O for best case, average case, or worst case. For example, quicksort is O(n log n) best case, O(n log n) average case, and O(n^2) worst case. You may be confusing worst

I think we're on the same page that this is ultimately an issue of not following up the levels. Actually, it seems that it was worse than that - multiple physicians over a span of four months saw the calcium level > 11 and didn&#x27

I'd say it's actually the other way around. C++ in the abstract is full of half-baked, ill conceived ideas that later had to be deprecated or walked back entirely: std::auto_ptr and memory leaks; std::shared_ptr::unique() not bein

Yes, it's fat soluble, and you don't lose fat soluble vitamins in urine the same way you do with vitamin C, but that's only a small part of the puzzle. Questions you should ask: 1. OK, so fat soluble vitamins aren't excr

The recommendation for 200 to 800 IU daily is for people who already have normal vitamin D levels. To correct vitamin D deficiency , modern sources recommend a minimum of 1,500 to 2,000 IU daily [1]. The Endocrine Society even recommends

I'd say 2005 to 2010 is probably more probably more appropriate for not really. By 2015, neural networks were already a really hot research topic. Just off the top of my head, the seq2seq paper was published in 2014 and U-Net and ResNe

There's a lot of shoot from the hip emotional/sarcastic responses to this, but the lack of documentation is absolutely one of the main issues. If mechanics are improvising with questionable practices, what are you going to do? Fir

I really don't consider this to be a gotcha. If you explicitly cast to type X, it isn't surprising to get back an object of type X, right? These aren't implicit type conversions a la the Javascript + operator

That's a valid distinction for a vector or a list. For a set, contains and search are one and the same.

Have you considered Blend2D? It's much easier to build, and performance is on par with Skia.

That's just objectively untrue. C++ sets have always supported membership testing. bool set_contains_x = set.find(x) != set.end();

> Question: are you saying the final layer is "in effect" a linear combination? Not just in effect a linear combination; it is a linear combination. There are some exotic nonlinear NN layers that are used in particular niches.

Nonlinearities in ML existed long before DL and ReLU. What's at the end of a deep CNN? Probably global pooling followed by a dense layer? That final dense layer is taking a weighted combination of the last stack of feature maps. So dee

It's really not. If you throw a blob of unstructured data at a neural network, then sure, it will beat everything else by a mile. If you actually try to understand your data and engineer your features, you can often beat DL with much s

I agree with all your points. I think that training algorithms without understanding the underlying data is fundamentally a bad thing. This isn't NLP, where we're willing to put up with LLMs being inscrutable because they blow tra

The question is how you would enforce a regulation like that when any guy with a few grand to burn can set up their own rig and start churning out images/video/text using their own finetune of an open model.

To put it into context, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK are all in the same general neighborhood in debt to GDP ratio. Japan's ratio is much worse.
