   for linear systems modern control theory is already optimal (?) so given a linear system I'd assume an RL method would just approximate the optimal control method. I think the potential for RL methods is in capturing nonlinearities in

   the $15 license says "Use, by you or one client, in a single end product which end users are not charged for." would I need to purchase the $350 license for a commercial product like a SaaS?

   looks great. is the chat app functional, and if so what backend/api does it use? The documentation doesn't mention the apps so I assume they are just front-end html/css?

    if your site is for example, one of those curated design tools popular on producthunt, a successful interaction would be your user quickly leaving the site because they found what they needed. With mining this behavior is not rewarded, and

    I think the confounding factor is that the tax would move the market whether or not foreign buyers are an issue. The price drops are also mostly at the top end of the market, which benefits wealthy buyers.

    Google's major problem is that it's in an adversarial relationship with the SEO industry. For any given keyword there is a lot of money to be made by being in the top 3 results, which means the top results tend to be dominated by

    Vancouver rent is much cheaper than SF in absolute terms (2000 CAD vs 3750USD) - it's even cheaper if you're willing to live in the suburbs and commute. Vancouver is expensive if you make a local salary, but it's great for re

    there's no universal standard for good color because it depends on context and fashion. eg. MS used blue as a calming color for error screens, but it became a symbol for failure and frustration via the bsod. It's also common knowl

    on the other hand, this comparison accounts for the full cost of the rig, while a realistic comparison should consider the marginal costs. Most of us need a pc anyways, and if you're a gamer the marginal cost is pretty close to zero.

    I don't see the conflict here. I think it's very factual and true that most Black people are not violent, most Chinese people are not cheaters, and most White people are not racist.

    there are facts and there are "facts". If most cheaters are Chinese it does not then follow that most Chinese people are cheaters - this is the fine line between discussing a cultural phenomenon and racism. eg. it's ok to dis
