A condo in GR is a possibility for sure, though you have to admit the market there has gotten ridiculous in recent years. Most of the decent houses near downtown get multiple offers instantly (same in Kalamazoo). Is $1250/mo a realisti

Indeed, my shortlist is Chicago (and maybe Grand Rapids) at this point. I’ve always been in love with Chicago—such a gorgeous city. Housing wise, I’m enchanted by the industrial brick and timber loft condos that there seem to be a lot of fo

By “research” I really meant “searching, then searching again...and again”, not actual research. Word choice is important in HN comments because you all are too sharp. I haven’t looked at that, but I have wondered how universal satellite

Housing (and construction) prices have been ballooning out of control everywhere for the last several years. Both major cities (DC, Boston, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, LA, Denver, San Diego) and secondary cities (Boise ID, Grand Rapids MI,

I’m a huge fan of UMAP, but this [0] paper suggests that t-SNE can be tuned to produce UMAP-like results (the algorithms are extremely similar—you can recover t-SNE with certain UMAP parameter choices). One of the insights is to use PCA fir

I did feel genuinely bad for my comment, since it was a few shades nastier than I was going for and I try hard to be positive and not cut people down. It was mean spirited and I apologize. My point was that intelligent humans can and often

I’m not attacking you, which is why I immediately offered you a salve for the burn by marking my comment as snarky. It did have a real point though—that learning (even something inherently logical like arithmetic) is not a binary outcome, a

Your reply is misleading, sorry. You didn’t offer any actual evidence of your own to support the memorization claim. You didn’t even do your own arithmetic problem correctly. Since your performance on this task was <100% accurate, I can

Thanks for this, it was interesting and helpful. My comment was mostly appreciating the sardonic and dry humor in the poster (and the concept of the study itself). It was my first time hearing about this, and it struck me as the type of fun

I’ve heard (way) more than one story about MongoDB mysteriously annihilating all the data . Launched into oblivion. The worst imaginable outcome for a database.

I should have made it more clear that I was trying to recreate the mental model that my teacher’s explanation gave me, at the time. I realized after posting it that my model was wrong—I know it’s really the other way around.

This is presumably only one aspect of “long Covid”, but a study [0] that was making the rounds a couple weeks ago found this (quoted from the accompanying editorial)[1]: > ”In 100 recovering patients included in the study, 67% of whom r

So is the claim by Elon Musk that current iterations of Tesla vehicles have all of the sensors and compute power needed to be fully autonomous (Level 4+ I guess?) in the future, via software updates only, a specious one?

Admittedly, my understanding of thermodynamics has not progressed much beyond the 2nd grade level (aside from a class on PDEs giving me at least some enhanced intuition). My takeaway from the PDE class was that anything beyond a simple text

I have a vivid memory of being taught this in 2nd grade, probably because it seemed (and still seems) extremely counterintuitive. I think the intuition given was that hot water is less dense than cold water, so the coldness can more easily

That stood out to me as well. I think it meant to say: 2% of children who were diagnosed with the multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) died from it. > 80% of the children who developed the condition required intensive care, 20% req

How would you interpret the work of Brian Eno, or other algorithmic/generative artists? Steve Reich’s compositions are algorithmic (but not stochastic), and are widely considered to be masterpieces. Another example: Eno’s Reflection ,

The most disruptive errors are those that could seemingly be cleaned up with some simple rules (e.g. if the word is in the dictionary, then don’t change it). This doesn’t seem like a “state of ML” issue—the Gmail text completion is annoying

Stop deliberately misrepresenting the truth and make an actual argument. “It will never happen” is not a logical argument. Clearly, the level of action is below what is needed—but that does not imply it is impossible. The US is the major do
