The vast majority of academics are underpaid workers in precarious jobs who need those publications because securing one of the few stable positions is explicitly tied to having enough imaginary points.

I'm glad I could be of help! > Yes, broadcasting is a cool thing, but the docs mostly explains 'how' but not 'why' or 'what for'. I'd say that, even for the 'how', thinking "OK, I ha

a > 5 results in a boolean array, via 'broadcasting'. These are rules that allow numpy to interpret the 5 as an array with the same dimensions as a, but full of 5s.

The way I think about it is: as you change the 0th index you move up and down the column. Same with the 1st index and the row. That's how I remember it anyway!

The usual matrix notation is a_ij for the element in the ith row and the jth column. If you order axes in this way you get the numpy convention.

This is fantastic, I will share it with students. A very minor comment: >So, there’s a total of three types of vectors in NumPy: 1D arrays, 2D row vectors, and 2D column vectors. I think you can have 'vectors' of arbitrarily hi

Yeah, same here. Spotify should offer a 'kids' account with every premium subscription, the way video streaming services do.

This looks very nice. Me, I would rather need a read-only twitter client. I'd like to be informed about Dionne Warwick and the occasional new cogsci paper without periodically making a fool of myself.

Not paradoxical, but it does suggest that the future is as taped as that football match.

This is the Ciaccona of Bach's second partita for violin solo. It appears that it was composed by weaving together various chorales (as explained in the liner notes to this recording, available here: https://www.tenebrae-cho

Thanks. I guess my worry was that, once you are doing extremely well and your loss is very low, gradients are no longer independent, and will tend to go mostly up. Is this wrong?

I loved this post, thanks for writing it. I get the argument why one shouldn't expect local minima in very high dimensions. But then, what's wrong with the informal argument that there has to be a minimum because, well, the expect

Is there any good, systematic discussion of the trade-off between computational complexity and compression? I have this intuition that the lower the entropy of signals, the more complex encoders and decoders might potentially need to be, wh
