For sums, yes, but products and division by small numbers are the real killer and those come up a lot in stats. Hence why you try to avoid them by working with log-probabilities (where products become sums), but sometimes you can't. Qu

Oh I'm very aware, I'm lumping those all into "tricks used to avoid/work around the numerical issues associated with matrix inversion" for simplicity, because explicit computation of a matrix inverse is one of the c

Probably, that falls into "doing almost anything to avoid inverting a matrix explicitly", but direct inversion is the classic example here.

I see it in statistics. It's not uncommon in a lot of statistical algorithms to need to take the product (or sum) of a lot of very small numbers and then divide by that product when computing likelihoods of a bunch of independent measu

There are some quirks with using Jellyfin+Kodi with external subs. It used to be solved by the "direct play" feature in Jellyfin4Kodi where it would just pass Kodi a link to the SMB/NFS shares, but the newest releases of Jell

Thankfully the open access model is becoming more popular, though I still find it insane that a lot of publishers demand a huge fee to publish articles as OA. I know they have to pay the bills and I guess it's better than ads, but they

I actually did install the frequency block disable mod. Mine lives in my car as an emergency radio, so I figured might as well have the ability in an emergency (which is allowed) and just stick to frequencies covered by my amateur license n

Open source would be ideal but I imagine the reality of NDAs and proprietary bits and other lawyer stuff means most companies won't or can't. Which, fine, but if you cut off services for a cloud encumbered device in a way that wil

I've been using HA since near the very beginning, and I recommend using the Proxmox Helper Scripts script that installs the HAOS VM. That's what I do. I disagree with the OP, HAOS simplifies a lot of stuff like addon installations

Tangent but is Nitter still around? I thought they had shut down the project because Xitter was locking them out. I used to rewrite search results to point to nitter and it was rather nice. Edit: looks like some instances are still alive an

netboot.xyx is also killer though slightly different. I installed a permanent netboot version on my home server so I never need to boot an install disk again, but you can also flash it to USB.

Gnome at least made sense for Red Hat/Fedora since they are the biggest sponsors of Gnome. I think another part of it was that the migration from KDE 3 to 4 was pretty rough, which also helped drive a lot of distros away from KDE and o
