Yeah it was 8 feet deep (I mentioned my height for reference). I don't have any phobia of water. In fact, a week after the incident I signed up for more swimming lessons (8 1:1 sessions) and I believe I'm a pretty decent swimmer n

Back in March 2016, I took a couple of swimming lessons. Starting from scratch, I learned enough to be able to cross the pool using a desperate and random sequence of arm/leg strokes. I thought I knew enough to jump into the swimming p

On a related note, some languages become placeholder for "gibberish." For example, English speakers often say "it sounds Greek." https://twitter.com/TommSciortino/status/1357376440170258434

I worked briefly on a similar idea last year. The problem was to collect parallel data for translation without requiring the annotators to be bilingual. We achieved it by selecting a set of universal pictures (e.g., dog running on grass) an

>you cannot learn causality from observational data alone. As others have pointed out, this is kind of the point of much of Pearl's work on causality. Specifically, do-calculus provides a set of primitive operations that can be used

I was wondering what language do you code in? I am a proficient Vim user but the more I use VScode for writing Python code, the harder it gets for me to justify using Vim for serious development.

Interestingly, in addition to the weather, I do miss nature. I think nature is always next door depending on where you are in the Bay area. For example, you can be in Foster City at 5 pm, get on 92W and reach crystal springs water reservoir

I agree. I moved here for Grad school so I'm not making six figures anymore but it's still pretty cheap!

Err sorry folks. I really did not mean to offend anyone, but I can see how my comment could be misinterpreted. I won't add any further clarification since it might harm more than it helps. I don't think all priests are fake tbc.

I feel like it helps me in reducing the number of passes before I ship something (so less errors/better tests). I also recently left the industry so I'm not sure if it'll help in my current position as a grad student as well.

I think this could be a function of what you have been working on. If you're working on cutting edge/niche things, github might be better. For good ol' tech stack, Stackoverflow is still golden.
