You won't believe it, but millions of people did exactly this, and are still doing it. US came to existence by immigration.

Lingua Franca literally means The Language of the Franks, ie French language (pun intended)...

Exactly that. They give you their work for free (as in freedom and also as in beer), so why would they accept anthing more than a responsibility to provide you with the source and wish you a good luck? If you want protection, you can buy co

This is only partly true, but even then, I wouldn't it call it idiotic. After all, can you defend your thesis in the US in French? You can't. So, why would it be idiotic for the French to expect theses at their unis to be defended

Most PhDs in Netherlands accept English speakers, and they all have many international students. When you find a position advertized, you can ask them about the procedure for non-EU citizens.

Well, they do accept some kind of responsibility: it is spelled out clearly in the license what they accept, and you can choose whether you prefer the terms defined in GPL, or MIT (Transmission is dual-licensed).

I am aware of that. The question was not whether more than 8 GPUs would be useful in ideal circumstances, it was about how many people actually use that functionality with other frameworks other than DL4J? BTW I do not have any connection w

I don't know, but I am curious about how many people, in percentages, outside Google and Facebook and the likes, need to scale their models to more than 8 GPUS?

These three are all excellent, but I'm not sure they pair well with the OP's book, which is written purely from the frequentist perspective. The books practically speak different language.

Exactly. And people don't, unless they are careless or have no other choice. But, that slows down the economy...

It's probably different in USA, but in lots of countries there is no such thing as a personal bankruptcy. So, that (once not so large) personal debt can just keep to weigh you down for the rest of your life, if not even worse.

So, excluding the "as you wish" part. You are not free to distribute it as you wish, but as the GPL directs you. (I support both GPL and BSD style OSS, and I am usually pro-Stallman, but the OP really has a good point here)

Simple explanation: communist occupation of East Germany by the Soviets brought there the "excellent" development opportunities also seen in the rest of Eastern Europe and Russia. Before that, Prussia was way ahead of Bavaria.

The problem is also that the content they serve is displayed on the consumer's property (computer). The owner of the computer has the right to select what portion of the crap he's been served will be displayed. If Facebook (or any

I doubt that Putin is Uyghur, nor he looks like one. But, that's besides the point. Even if he was Uyghur, that would make him a member of a minority nation from Russia, who would speak Uyghur language as his mother tongue. I do not se

Isn't that true for any european language? There is a standard language and many local dialects that are more or less close to that standard. That doesn't make standard Italian, or standard German, or standard Russian, or any othe

I have exactly the opposite experience. I switched to Linux 13 years ago (Ubuntu + kde) and 5 years ago switched to Arch with no desktop manager, only xmonad. Works for weeks without poweroff, lots of exotic GUI applications opened, suspend

That's what I'm talking about. If there is evidence about person X doing some criminal deed (shoting soldiers) that in itself is sufficient for prosecuting him. You do not need his "confession" for that. The problem is a

In any legal system that deserves to be called legal, sole confession without other strong material evidence is not acceptable. Bargain, sure... No beating, no electro-shocks, no sleep deprivation. They just ask politely and show a little f

OK. So now we are limiting this to the army and leaving teachers and flight attendants out. And all (or many) of those army officials allegedly involved in the coup attempt eagerly "confessed" their erroneous ways, while none of

Orcas are loners and don't like large social groupings? Hmmm, I think I've found my new favorite animal! :)

How does one achieve the official status of a "coup official"?
926.
by dragandj 10y ago
Well, there are even more tons of "confessions" of the accused that "confess" NOT being part of the coup. I hope you'll give them the same weight as the opposite confessions.
927.
by dragandj 10y ago
Ton of coup confessions? When the KGB-like service gets anyone in their hands, they can make him or her confess anything. That's like Dictatorship 101.

How's that? The algorithms have the same goal - find the posterior distribution. The time to get to that distribution is what is important and what is compared, provided that both algorithms get proper results. How they do it underneat

Bayadera does not aim to rival or to mimic R tools - it aims to be better! But, it is strongly opinionated; either you take the bayesian path, or you use something else :) Currently, I do not have resources to take on the task of creating a

Yes. Run the tests in the REPL. Call (analysis) to only invoke the fits and get the timings, or call (display-sketch) and then (reset! all-data (analysis)) to see the plots. It is only done like that in these examples; for actual work, you
