While I agree that there are problems with the paper, I think you are confused about suitability of ROC, PR and how test set class imbalance affects them. Your first two suggestions combined together are very wrong. If you made the test dat

What is the rule exactly? 1) Yield the passing lane for anyone that wants to go faster or 2) Yield the passing lane if lane on the right is free. I am asking because I am not sure, but (2) would make more sense to me. You should not be requ

You are right that getting a remote job is probably more difficult than finding a local one. OTH the existence of remote jobs market definitely works in your favour in some situations because you simply have more choices. Fo example, I am a

Greens do not hold any political function AFAIK (edit: they still have a few senators). In the past few elections they usually gained only around 3 % of votes. Our 'proper' left parties that have some power are those old-school le

What a remarkably concise demonstration of Dunning-Kruger effect. Someone should make a screenshot of this and use it in their next talk.

Regarding the Conjunction fallacy my theory is that many people who are not used to math problems implicitly modify the question based on the context. Instead of choosing from options: 1) Linda is A 2) Linda is A and B they might actually u

Since most of my sibling comments are sharing anecdotes I therefore admit that I have heard the term. Maybe if everyone replies if they have heard it or not we can reach a conclusion if it is a known term in Hacker News community. Or we can

I am also Czech and do NOT have similar experience. I am very satisfied with the level of education I received and with the environment I was able to be part of at my university in Prague.

I am not sure how in US but here in Czechia manual cars are considerably cheaper than automatic cars. I think many people drive manual for economic reasons.

If it is possible you should always test these projects on your own images, because you can't be sure if the example images were in the training data set.

Students apply for extension after four years. The only difference is that after 4 years you no longer receive the PhD. stipend and have to be paid from project grants. This might further reduce your income or force you to work even more on

To be fair, my university also advertises PhD. as a 3 year program. Yet the median time at my department is over 6 years. It was wrong from me to generalise to whole Europe. I didn't want to be too specific in my comment. On the other
