The situation has since changed as the solver is rewritten. (Upstreamed from the work done in mamba.) I encourage you to try again.

Doesn’t that limit you to deploy dot files to nix available system only? That’s the primary reason I don’t use home manager.

As the black hole getting larger, it is more difficult to notice this difference (of crossing the event horizon or “observe the geometry around you”.) and as we are talking about the whole visible universe being inside a black hole, we are

Photon-photon interaction is photon self interaction. Gravity/graviton self interaction then means graviton-graviton interaction. In general relativity, all form of energy would have an effect of gravity, and also react to gravity. Sin

Having been in his lectures in the past, he is the kind of person who teach you to question what you are told/taught. You should know he basically does the same thing to the field of ML (as this does to HEP). You know, when I first rea

Thanks! That’s very interesting! Now I need to find my next project to try this…

Thanks, it is very helpful. 2 questions: 1. What’s the implications when parallelization is considered? I.e. is those accurate sum algorithms parallelizable, and how would it compares to traditional parallelized sum? 2. What is the performa

I’m sure the context is totally different. And yours is right as you are the citizen there. But being a Hong Kong citizen, I have a totally different reaction to this news. (Projected to our own context.)

IIRC Jack “Wow” Davis (a photoshop expert) mentioned this is what his clients like to say to him: “Can you just remove the thing in the photo?” The “thing” can be the eyeglass they are wearing, etc. And he said, “come on, I’m going to come

Books/articles like this is presenting a world view. I don’t think they think this is the only way we should view the world. But I guess they are preaching a way to view the world, and as any preacher does they try to convince you why

My ACE score is 7, but I don't feel like that for 2 reasons: 1. there are some questions that technically I should answer "Yes", but is of milder scale of the spectrum. 2. I occasionally shared my upbringing to other people,

> Don’t take it wrongly but "you should do what you love or your life is meaningless" is a very bourgeois idea. I agree with you but it is not what Laura said or mean. She said, > “Harsh as this sounds, if you’re not in the

Laura anticipated that response: “Ferriss downplays the idea of dream jobs. As he writes, “For most people . . . the perfect job is the one that takes the least time. The vast majority of people will never find a job that can be an unending

Not an expert here, so I'll quote one from the highlights I have reading the following book: “Harsh as this sounds, if you’re not in the right job—a job that is moving you toward where you want to be in life—then you’re wasting almost

To paraphrase, it seems that it is suggesting that leaning is harmed because assistant helps them to get better results, but hurt them in the process of doing so, where less understanding and thinking is involved. It is interesting that it

In an ideal world that we control everything and/or don’t need to collaborate with others, then whatever tooling one use is actually not that important (and each can choose the best fitting their needs.) So Jupyter+Jupytext is useful i

by KolenCh 2y ago
I don’t disagree anything you said. Jupytext can be a good tool to bridge some gap, where you pair ipynb to a py script and can then commit the py only (git-ignore all ipynb for your collaborators.) Also, while many practices out there is q

I tried code2prompt but the interface has a quirk—even if you specified an output file, it will always put the output to the paste buffer. Which one of these you find the best? It’s quite tempting to write one myself for something as simple

You are talking past each other on what formula means. In FP, a recursive function is a valid “formula”. P.S. I’m not arguing for that characterization.
81.
by KolenCh 2y ago
You’re not wrong that your formula computes to 2 regardless what λ is. The difference is, this formula is trivial. Another difference is, the formula over there is an infinite series. What it means is, first, try prove that formula does not

This is speculation, sure. You may say all theorists do are speculations. They propose ideas, show that it is falsifiable, and it is not their duty to then write proposals and come up with experiments and then take observations and only hav

In that sense, extrapolation should never be used in “production”. At best it is for exploration. One characteristics of ML is that this distinction often is not clear. (Hallucination, generalization, etc.)

New readers of John Cook may not know this: his posts are pedagogical, often are illustrating the gist of the idea or message, not including all the details or the optimal analysis. This post mentioned the motivation too. Also, he is a cons

I don’t think you understand what this project is doing. I skim through the doc and it seems it’s neatly summarized by the first paragraph: > The library's main goal is to compress data frames, excel and csv files so that they consu

Some random suggestions: - use Zotero to organize anything that can be referenced: papers obviously, but also any books with ISBN, even websites with snapshots (use the Zotero web extension) - learn about the CSL style and use Zotero to

It looked like the water going down splashed some milk back to there repeatedly and dried and formed some sort of crystallized milk powder that looks quite disgusting. I would recommend a wipe.

I have a similar but less extreme experience. I have a Tommee Tippee prep machine for baby formula milk. The part it has water coming out got so dirty after months of use. Due to lack of sleep like any father of newborn does, I flip it upsi
