This is because our current methods of machine learning are really good at finding patterns but not very good at enforcing underlying models.

How did you set up ET for this? I couldn’t get it to work.

In high school I was able to shadow someone for no pay at a small engineering firm near my house. While it wasn’t really that crazy, it gave me some practical insight into what a typical engineering job was like. If you can’t land an intern

The point is that we use genetically similar test subjects because it is helpful that they are genetically similar. The point was not to demonstrate which exact subspecies of primate that is used.

But how many people had COVID vs influenza? It doesn’t list case fatality rate, so your argument is just like everyone who says “the flu is deadlier than COVID”. Flu cases aren’t growing exponentially.

Lidar is a time of flight sensor. “Time of flight” is the name for the method in which they time The pulses yo sense depth. In practice, when someone says “time of flight camera”, they’re referring to a broader class of devices that use sim

Can you share data on reinfection? I have not been able to find enough evidence to rule out testing error being mistaken for reinfection.

“Sensor fusion” isn’t just a thing, it’s an entire area of study. Kalman filtering is one technique in the umbrella of sensor fusion. There is a lot of room for improvement here.

I would definitely unlock my device more than four times a day. Often times my periods of focus last 30 minutes. Half the time that’s a task switch, the other half I get up to walk. This doesn’t account for meetings interrupting me.

“Why” is inherently accusatory and should be avoided. The question seems insulting because of “why” and “just”. Try saying “what is preventing us from us Hong sshd?”. It is less accusatory and more inclusive.

I think you’re arguing semantics a bit. What you’re saying checks out, but one could say that overfitting was occurring but the test dataset distribution was not wide enough to catch it.

Not necessarily. It just suggests the bottleneck for life lies at whatever point is after mars. Nothing would suggest that complex life gets progressively more difficult to evolve.

You can fight China on human rights without fighting everyone on human rights. Why let perfect be the enemy of the good? Should we support china simply because we haven't fought Saudi Arabia on this?

You are literally taking a recent publication about attentional mechanisms in the brain and hijacking them to explain why you're annoyed with t-shirts, then turning it into a commentary on society. I think you could use some perspectiv

People don't usually drive to the store every single day for a single item, whereas amazon would deliver a single item to people every single day.

This is actually very difficult. The data has to be sourced from somewhere, which would be the airlines. The airlines have fragile backends that cannot handle much load. As a result, Google has to be very selective in their query volume, so

Lidar is difficult in drones. That doesn't rule out Lidar as an important sensor in other domains. Additionally, redundancy is good. Computer vision will not be good enough to make Lidar useless for some time.

It doesn’t take 100% of your time to learn vim. You just work 20% slower while you are intensely learning, then you work back at 100% for a while, then you work at 120% after you have internalized everything.

This seems very rude to me. Like others have said, lawsuits are a reality. Secondly, concussions are no joke.

I think the staging area should be a more intermediate usage pattern, at least.

I think both answers are correct, and the best thing is to understand where each approach will bite you. I prefer to remove the commit because I am proponent of rebasing over merging. Though the issue is that removing merged can be tricky,

Lidar is also noisy unfortunately. The input is high dimensional enough that classical tracking methods don’t work well (like for simpler radar systems) because segmentation in lidar is hard.

Modded servers actually have a lot of IAPs and they can be pretty bad. These are really popular with kids.

Scale is providing a valuable service. If you try to build robust systems without clean labels, you’ll wind up just chasing your tail.
