One of the problems with this article is that it would prefer the algo do something else than truthfully represent the training data. If you really want an affirmative action policy for admittance then you need to adjust the score only afte

There are other gradient free optimizers (like Powell's method) that are simpler and in my experience work better.

Good point about rats. The utility of having a cat as babysitter will have to be weighted against the risk of tripping over one, though. Tara is newsworthy because it doesn't happen as often.

I love cats, but I can't see any evolutionary benefit to us from caring for baby cats specifically. It's more likely that our mammalian behavioural traits have influenced dog/cat neoteny.

It might help to gradually fix their behaviour by signalling that you will go to a competitor instead...maybe....

No, communist principles are expressed by the intellectuals and then used by the architects for public planning.

There were intellectuals that believed in communism in non-soviet countries.

For me APIs are actually one of the places it performs the worst. Copilot is like having an inexperienced yet annoyingly optimistic pair programmer. The code it generates appears conceivable in some hypothetical universe. No guarantee it&#x

Related: can anyone explain why the .forum TLD is like $1000? There is some circular nonsense out there that it's to "make up for low numbers".

I don't think in your dishes example that `x` is introduced complexity. The mutable `x` is used here to reflect the mutable state of the physical world, so it'll come naturally to anyone capable of thinking symbolically and want t

The difficulty with using M+/MR is that the value does not remain visible or at hand. It's like the calculator loses its state. So people write the state down instead. This suggests they know it is stateful , they're just

I make a point of leaving my camera on, especially if I would tune out and do other things. The visual feedback is important for the speaker.

The words "deny" and "evidence" cannot be used with scientific models. "deny" presupposes truthfulness of a proposition (a big no-no), and "evidence" is not the same as "absence of falsifying obs

How do you get any scientific field to agree 99.9%? I don't think you could even get these numbers for particle physics. Is science no longer about attempts at falsification? Or is the game derision of those with non-apocalyptic perspe

It's not "overcorrection", it's pressure to not wrongthink. The method is the problem. Why is he obligated to write something about George Floyd? This touches on compelled speech.

Just wait until online grocery apps fully start maximizing user engagement ;) I think product discovery and suggesting dishes haven't reached it's peak yet in this market.

The only thing I require from an SQL formatter is to make typos and boolean mistakes super easy to spot, especially as it grows in size. At first glance it might seem strange, but I like indentation on even the first term of an AND.

Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which is adequately explained by you not understanding all the variables involved.

Having quotation marks around "order of magnitude" sure didn't stop pedantic comments. I'm not sure what can.

For interest sake, it looks like non-decimal reference values have been used https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_magnitude

That's the kind of shortest path you'd get if two tasks appear on the straight line and you want to keep a minimum distance away from them :P

a calendar "order of magnitude". I can't think of a better term.

In my head I usually do "an order of magnitude" increase to do things properly . 1h to 1d to 1w to 1M to 1Y. Thats kind of like a multiplier of τ=2π

I guess I'd say that our genetically encoded behavior has a good track record over many millions of years of latching onto what "the right thing" is. That's quite a few chunks of 100k years that it was "outdated&quo

If it isn't "allowed" (the parent's word), it is some degree of prevention.
