I don’t think they made it sound like that, they just used the word, if you don’t know the definition it’s on you?

You can fit a state space model to missing data in many api’s, sure, but that doesn’t mean it’s supported in any meaningful way. Imagine you have a new product with 6 months of missing data. You can feed that into ets/arima/what

Seems like these guys just wasted $11k to erroneously claim, “deep learning bad! Simple is better!” There’s definitely use for these classical, model-based methods, for sure. But a contrived comparison claiming they’re king is just misinfor

Or, and hear me out here for a second, people go where they’re most valued. Why would someone volunteer to go work somewhere where they’ll get less money, have less flexibility, be treated as second-class employees, have less work perks, et

Wouldn’t call that obvious - a whole host of reasons exists as to why one wouldn’t rejoin a company that just fired them, many not related to money.

Here’s just what Twitter has open-sourced: https://github.com/orgs/twitter/repositories Laughable that you think 10 people can rewrite all of this in a month. It would take longer to scope out the design docs alon

Hard to take your views earnestly when you write: “The officer in the training exercise that killed Officer Tipping has the same name as the officer in Tipping’s report, but they are not sure if it is the same person.” Talk about grasping f

I guess because what I wrote seemingly doesn’t agree with your viewpoint I am all of those things. Not sure what the cell phone bit is about.

Playing a Smurf vs playing someone at your skill level in competitive is a completely different experience. An enemy widow sniping your entire team over-and-over again is not the same as going overtime and nearly drawing a payload nap. I’m

They only except certain providers, so no Google phone, prepaid, etc.

Makes sense. Valve already does this for all of their competitive games, it’s basically what you need to do to stop easy smurfing if your game is free-to-play.

Somehow I think being compared to PG is exactly the sort HN-specific thing Tom wouldn’t be too keen on. (Not saying it’s bad, just made me chuckle).

“An analogy that flips the script here is that some machine learning techniques, like “deep” neural networks, are perhaps as opaque as human thinking. They do amazing things. But no one yet understands exactly how.” Not to derail the thread

I’ve never used mastodon, but it’s hard to take your judgements at any value when it seems like you haven’t either.

You can save the song and dance. You’re not convincing any home-owners (or even potential renters) with your savior-complex lording. Just be honest. You bought an asset you expect to increase in value, and renting allows you an easy manner

Outlaw Ocean is an absolutely amazing book with chapters on different crazy occurrences in our legally-ambiguous oceans (slavery, mobile abortion ships, mercenaries, repo-men, activists , etc.) Definitely worth a read if this interests you:

That would depend on the veracity of the negative reviews, many of which offer no substance apart from, “it’s too woke and not canon!” I don’t think the show is incredible, but visually the show is pretty awesome, and I enjoy the story eno

The worst thing on GitHub are those “rating” badges in profiles that always say A+ regardless of the profile quality. Just having one of those is a decent screening filter itself.

It sounds like you don’t purchase cars much if you think the price difference is only a few hundred dollars. I went to look for a car recently and, ignoring the Covid shortage fee increase, they added a mandatory $1200 for some bs paint pro

Cruelty is worldwide. See: Rwanda, Yemen, former Yugoslavia, Mexican cartels, ISIS, etc. for a small sample of non-US cruelty in the twenty-first century.

Maybe the current bleak situation of expensive education, unaffordable housing, medical debt, etc. is pushing many in gen z to go for what they see (whether it’s true or not) as their only option?

Your argument reads as, “data scientists only know machine learning! Not me, I use popular models from statistics too!” Not trying to sound offensive, but it’s the same aggressive stance repeated on twitter by every other stats/econ ph

Calling StarCraft II “just deathballs” is a complete misrepresentation and utterly false. Maybe Protoss in HotS/WoL (ie 5-11 years ago) but not anything now. Also drones are the Zerg’s worker unit, the things that fly out of carriers a

I like the website! There is no “testing” going on here, unfortunately. You’re just taking turns placing users in the treatment or control group, arbitrarily, depending on when they visit the page. How can you measure any treatment effect w
