Sure, it’s not about finding a line of best fit, but the principle is the same: a transformed space where linear things work better is used.

No actually I think you’re mistaken. Representing the model via a nonlinear transformation where a linear model more closely captures what’s going on is precisely what the kernel trick does, although the situation being described is more br

Maybe USA should do that, but what’s been attempted is a horrible way to do that.

What you’re describing is the technique known as the “kernel trick”, correct?

There are lots of data points of previous AI efforts not creating super intelligence.

Whether or not it’s advisable doesn’t really change the fact that the if US government is commonly doing something then that it is not correct to describe a security impact to those SOPs as “hardly a security risk”

It’s kind of a shame that we set up a system where this is the case.

I feel like people with tour stance aren’t considering that skins and emotes are fun to have without fomo or addiction. Similarly, toys are fun to have for their own sake.

Me and many of my friends were children when Fortnite came out. We still play, and we now have full time jobs. When fun new skins or dances come out, it’s not uncommon for us to get them. They’re fun and entertaining. I hardly feel addicted

I’m not sure I’m seeing a lot of outrage here, but I think this is a legitimately interesting discussion.

That’s true, they had someone on for an interview. If that’s your biggest gripe, some random topical interview they had several years ago, then I’m not really sure what you’re looking for.

If the best you can do is that they occasionally interview left leaning authors with out-there views, I don’t know what to tell you. The core programming, things like The Sound of Ideas, Marketplace, Morning Edition, the hourly news updates

That was not the official position of NPR the organization or even an opinion piece by an NPR employee, it was an interview with an author.

If the authors wanted to disallow people to be free (as in freedom) to change the source code for free (as in beer), then the authors had every chance to publish the source code under a more restrictive license. I’m trying to imagine how th

That’s the beautiful thing about open source, they ask but do not demand. Of course, if you use this service for your enterprise, the Right Thing To Do would be support the excellent project financially, but this is by no means required. If

I’ve heard people say that before. They would love to use it if there wasn’t a playful animated character. The code is open source, so I can’t imagine making a fork to remove that is a Herculean effort.

I think the issue may be thinking of your phone, running a non-open OS, as a general-purpose computing device.

I once heard that this is an oft repeated myth, that neurons are not replaced throughout life. It seems to me to that what you said is true, but for some odd reason I have a recollection of reading a debunking of this. Does anyone know what

They don’t really have a monopoly on local events or marketplace. Facebook is popular for these things but that’s because Facebook had a big user base, not because they keep competitors from forming. They have a network effect that smaller

I think GP mentioned it was on a _single_ boggle board.

I am very intrigued by this. I’ll do something thinking this evening about how a tight Boggle model may look.

I saw that! In my experience, problems that seem completely intractable using open source tools often get solved in seconds using state of the art commercial approaches.

by LPisGood 1y ago
My first thought is that there is surely an Integer Linear Programming approach that can solve this within a few seconds using some very advanced solver like Gurobi. These solvers can very often find the globally optimal solution - and prov

This always bothers me. I have never seen a “periodic table of _” that wasn’t just a funny shaped table. If there were actual patterns and multiple different things happening as you go down or to the right, etc it would be very well done.

What is it about “sexual subcultures” that are inherently dangerous as opposed to the main culture that is inherently safe. Is a book character being gay unsafe for kids in a way that the same character being straight is not?

I feel like people don’t really understand that ideology - if all you ever do is break things (or produce broken things), then you’re not actually moving fast at all.
