That's a fair point but on the other hand I think operator overloading is a must to be able to program math formulas in a language. Do you plan to have something like `const` as well? If so, how about allowing operators, but only if th

Does it support operator overloading? I tried it quickly (`define +(...){...}`) but it didn't work. Maybe there is a notation for it but I couldn't find it in the tutorial.

I am very sorry for the negativity, but that post is just a list of links to Deep Learning and Machine Learning classes compiled by a student. The fact that it made it to the front page of HN proves that there's a massive hip about Neu

You realize that linking to a tweet from a relatively unknown guy who says the same thing as you is not gonna add some validity to your point, right?

That one will not work because the function is not C∞ [I didn't know how to make that symbol] in 1. it's first derivative is 0 in 1, but that's only because the derivative for 1-1/(1-(x-1)^2) is 0 in 1, that will not be

f has to be monotonic and increasing, and such as f(x) < 0 if x < 0 , and f(x) > 0 if x > 0 (note the strict inequalities, that makes it a condition slightly stronger than monotonic).

I got another one (a bit more complicated): find a function f that verifies: - f(x) = 0 for x <= 0 - f(x) = 1 for x >= 1 - f admits a derivative of any order The last condition rules out functions like f(x) = 0 if x<=0,x if x in [0

One occurence was to calculate the GCD of a list of polynomials. In fact I had "reduce" appearing in the names of some of my variables so I used it less than 32 times, about 20 times in that project.
251.
by S4M 10y ago
I just counted the number of reduce I used in my current python project (6k lines). reduce comes up 32 times. And by comparison, map is used 159 times and filter 125 times - for some reason I tend to use list comprehensions less tha
252.
by S4M 10y ago
That example works only because the function sum is already defined in Python. If you wanted to do something less common than summing up elements you would have to either use reduce or implement a for loop.

While that is true, that salary is way inferior to market salaries of programmers in Germany (I don't live there but I assume junior programmers are pay 30k/year at least), so the project won't be able to attract good candida

Really interesting article. After reading it, it seems that statistics are about devising a model (like y=ax+b+epsilon) and then fitting it on the data while machine learning algorithms are about letting the data make their own model).

Slightly OT, but what exactly is the difference between machine learning and statistics?

I think it's a programming book that happens to use Lisp as an example language to explain AI concepts and algorithms, rather than a Lisp book.
