Sure! A really simple (and common) example would be a setup w/ treatment A and treatment B, your code does "if session_assignment == A .... else .... B" . In the else branch you do something that for whatever reason causes m

It still misses the biggest challenge though--defining "best", and ensuring you're actually measuring it and not something else. It's useful as long as your definition is good enough and your measurements and randomizati

This is a double-edged sword. There are often cases in real-world systems where the "reward" the MAB maximizes is biased by eligibility issues, system caching, bugs, etc. If this happens, your MAB has the potential to converge on

I do know how to profile my code, and I'll also continue to bias towards not doing it now . Even if it could mean more pain later. I think part of the problem is that the pain it causes is quite visceral, but the opportunity cost is p

I think framing people "staying put" in a solely negative light paints an incomplete picture. I'd bet that the biggest reason people stay put is not anti-social but pro-social--tight community, cultural, and family bonds.

The answer is that it's not binary, despite everyone's insistence on framing it as such. We are a part of nature, but we do have some degree of power and responsibility over it that other species don't. It's not absolute

We are agreeing, I'm arguing against that dichotomy from the other direction—you don’t always need to know everything under-the-hood. You also can’t always ignore everything under-the-hood. Sometimes you can get the job done by using a

We're just arguing about abstractions. Do people need to always understand "under the hood" of abstractions? Obviously not, most of us don't know how ADC works or how CPU instructions are pipelined or how light pulses en

I think you have to distinguish between a model, its implementation, and its weights/parameters. AFAIU: - Models are processes/concepts, thus not copyrightable, but are subject to trade secret law, contract and license restricti

I'm in a similar boat but it's more like "I have nothing I can hide". These days I just tell friends & family to assume that nothing they do is private.

Efficiency has always been the key. Fundamentally it's a search through some enormous state space. Advancements are "tricks" that let us find useful subsets more efficiently. Zooming way out, we have a bunch of social tricks,

This is using purego which is still using FFI, it is dynamically linking the C libs so you still have the same shared library issues. You don’t have to setup a C compiler toolchain though which is nice.
