Thanks for the clarification. Google should really revamp Chrome's permission system because it makes installing apps difficult.

It's not meant to stop malicious users, it's meant to stop careless ones. Malicious users will always find a way.

What field are you in? Because at least in mine (information retrieval/machine learning) all the stuff you're talking about is done by volunteers, not paid staff.

If you're really interested in the question, there is a field of research called scientometrics and that is dedicated, among other things, to study this kind of question.

It's not the exact same stuff, but for all intents and purposes if you're not planning on competing in a powerlifting event anytime soon it's close enough that you could substitute it. It's actually used quite a lot for

I already thought the leg press machine was a death trap, but you managed to give me another reason to dislike it. I think I'll stick to squatting.

A very important thing you forgot and that a lot of people tend to not think about until it bites them in the ass are the available bands. Some of those Xiaomi phones for instance are amazing and cheap and intuitive, but that's not goi

You might want to get in touch with notebookcheck.net, they have the exact data you would need for that. I don't think they'll give it to you, but who knows, if you impress them enough with the phone chooser you might be able to s

I kind of disagree and agree at the same time. I'd recommend that a new trainee start with simple bodyweight stuff* but for different reasons: it's an excellent teacher of proprioception, which is one of the things that couch-to-b

Your issue is that you were 16. I don't mean that weight training young is bad, but that you were a 16 year old training himself. People think that because lifting weight is a meathead sport you would have to be an idiot to do it wrong

First off, you are wrong if you think that bodyweight exercises cannot injure you. Even something as simple as doing pushups with bad form for too long can have a detrimental effect on your posture and cause back issues. Also, that's a

You are right, and it's not even a new idea. It's the premise of Douglas Adams' H2G2 books, where the Earth was literally built as a supercomputer by another supercomputer, named Deep Thought, after it finished computing the

While I tend to get mad at the cafe dwellers that spend 4 hours on a table sipping on the same latte, I disagree with you here. It's all about finding the middle ground. I have had to work in coffee shops before and if you hold yoursel

This would be insanely more useful if it could display math correctly. For example, most of the math in https://colah.github.io/posts/2014-03-NN-Manifolds-Topology only shows the LaTeX code.

I agree. I've taken to calling them computational graphs in my lab, because that's what they are. There is nothing neural about a LSTM.

Its simplicity is its power. More complex methods (e.g. second order methods) tend to get attracted to saddle points and produce bad results. Some metaheuristics like evolution strategies are also used in some specific cases (reinforcement
