Human babies physically cannot walk. It’s not merely a knowledge check. Pretrained brain modules aren’t the most surprising thing. Humans have plenty of pre trained behaviors, some of which kick in a while after birth.

No I’m saying the original doc2vec paper described an approach which the ML community never seemed to actually implement. There were things that were called doc2vec, but they were not what the paper described. Folks mostly seemed to just no

Eh. It was always sort of muddy. We never actually had an implementation of doc2vec as described in the paper.

There’s a reason human brains have dedicated language handling. Tokenization is likely a solid strategy. The real thing here is that language is not a good way to encode all forms of knowledge

Not surprising. They weren’t designed cheat codes. Folks would try stuff, sort of figure out what it did, and then publish it with a name.

The reason there were 500 manufacturers in the first place was the enormous subsidies. The Chinese government strategy is to fund a massive number of attempts and then suffer a huge number of failures and consistent end up with far too much

No, not like that. This is a case where China has offered disgusting subsidies to anyone willing to make an EV. And therefore tons of companies have done so with no intention of ever really being a car company

A GBM like XGBoost is an ensemble of trees. It may be that when you load RandomForest modules they fit based on entropy or whatever the typical DecisionTree does but imo the term “random forest” should really convey nothing more than “ensem

That’s irrelevant to 99.99% of people. An A in math is not especially difficult to achieve. To actually be meaningfully better at math you need to go far, far further than the coursework presented in schools, at which point it becomes an ex

So why do you think it is offensive to suggest it’s a polite way of obscuring a suicide? That feels like the most charitable way to interpret people claiming fans are a lethal hazard?

No, we are not disagreeing on whether it constitutes the root problem. What I am saying is that there’s nuance to the mechanics of the problem that are important to acknowledge when forming an effective solution; and you’re just repeating y

It’s not plainly obvious at all. Because the border is fucking huge, surrounded by a vast, inhospitable desert. It can be tunneled under and/or more simply just trafficked through the formal crossings. There are some areas where camera

This example seems… bad to me. Are you simply saying that light moves slower from A to B through a medium like water because it takes a path that is less direct to navigate the medium?
