No, that's just a common choice. You can choose a covariance function (kernel) corresponding to some other function space. http://www.gaussianprocess.org/gpml/chapters/RW4.pdf

True, but a Gaussian distribution's mode is its mean.

It's still probably under NDA and the glitter suppliers are contractually forbidden from revealing their customers. It'd be up to the customer to reveal it.

I've been enjoying The Idea Factory by Jon Gertner. It's well written and covers the history of Bell Labs from the early days.

I'm sure he learned much more useful stuff by coding up that monstrosity, and in the real world he can just google to look up those formulas he didn't memorize. The fully elaborated version of the underlying principle is probably

But note that log and exp are inverses of each other, and it's applied to opposite sides of the equation. In particular, this: 1 - exp(-3) ≈ 0.95 Can be rewritten as: -3 ≈ log(1 - 0.95)

Good point. Right now it's nearly impractical to have a family in the Bay area. I'd personally like to see a lot of improvement on the supply side in the form of high-density housing in urban centers.

I interpret it as saying: "non-convexity ain't no big deal in this context", and this is the latest contribution in a line of other "no spurious local minima" machine learning theory research. It's interesting

It's pretty clear from their wording if you are already familiar with these issues. This tax classification thing of "contractor" vs "employee" is a standard bugaboo lurking in these waters, and Upwork is doing a te

Good point. I imagine something like vim's "folding" feature could be used to interactively navigate source code with a screen reader by successively opening the folds of interest.

Just putting it in the employee handbook is more of a liability deflecting move than actively training people and explicitly creating common knowledge.

Can someone summarize their definition of "wisdom"?

No, seems like it would result in a much bigger state machine that includes states and transitions for all those non-exact matches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine#Acceptors...

Yes, go for it, but definitely make sure you actually build something cool during your Masters degree if you want it to improve your career opportunities afterwards. The credential by itself won't mean much, but if you list some intere

Yeah. When minimizing off-topic chatter and using the chat features carefully (e.g. threads or private messages in addition to channels), chat hits a perfect balance of immediate but asynchronous coordination.

Looks like it was typeset in MS Word. Seems this project is a good start but really could use some editing.

Looks like it pretty transparently sends all replies to "dr.com". Seems like something our email client should warn us about explicitly, instead of just showing "Reply To: Kyle".
