They found an answer that felt right to them. The reseachers weren't blinded to the context they were working in, and their hypothesis is essentially unfalsifiable so I would take it with a grain of salt.

Inflation + growth is what makes a pensions system possible in the first place. Devaluing debt and growing capital allows for a period of no productivity at old age, otherwise it would be unaffordable.

This is an odd framing. Causing harm doesn't require malice, in fact most businesses larger than Dunbar's number in employees aren't really driven by affect or emotion at all, but by people all weakly following incentives. Th

Every mode of transportation except for biking runs on software nowadays. Every bridge is designed with software. All of our lives are to some extent threatened by bad software.

Keep in mind the cookie law doesn't just apply to browser cookies, but to other kinds of fingerprinting too. Your proposal would let you be tracked in a persistent way through canvas, localstorage and other forms of entropy easily retr

I was about to reply something similar. The Netherlands is also experiencing a loneliness epidemic, so just density and bikeability are not sufficient answers. For anyone that's curious about numbers on this, every western country has

This is way off base. Using PI to fulfill a request someone has made of you is the happy path of GDPR, you just can't retain or reuse that information more than you have 1) a contract or 2) permission or 3) a lawful task For. Having ot

Those are the in / outputs, but the model works on the embeddings which is a high dimensional representation of meaning.

Dplyr API design is leages ahead of Pandas though. In part this is because Python doesn't have first-class Symbols or lazy evaluation, but also because the dplyr authors have a better feel for ergonomics. Sadly this 2.0 release makes c

How different are these options from each other, syntactically and semantically? Do i need to know all of them to read library code?

People bounce off of systems programming because C/C++ is hard. Rust's focus on ergonomics, error management, tooling and learning resources actually makes people want to try again.

Geom_smooth actually interpolates 80 points along the range of your data and then fits a Loess regression on that. It is incredibly slow to train on significant numbers of data points, hence the workaround. Edit: I misremembered, it evaluat

Or maybe your org has too many layers. Teams of smart people should be able to mostly self-direct.

In my org we'd call what you do a coordinator. Handles prioritization but is not above the team in hierarchy.

Love the plot, for high dimensional embeddings try UMAP for a better result, maybe T-sne too if you're interested in clusters.
