SVMs can also be trained using gradient descent.

The only time I’ve felt effects of caffeine is horrible jet lag combined with 900mL of cold brew (about 1400mcg of caffeine). I was lifted from the dead and felt the highest relative improvement in mood and wellbeing in my life. I once tri

Most abstractions discussed in the article have a runtime cost in Haskell and zero cost in C++.

That statement you quote is completely understandable. Let's say you have discrete sequences that are a product of a particular distribution. Unsupervised methods are able, by just reading these sequences, to construct a compact repres

Unfortunately, any profiler I tried does not show these issues. Because the code you are profiling will be optimized completely differently. Although it makes sense to do the optimizations/inlining inside the top-level functions that p

The biggest improvement I measured was about 15x. I'd say you can get 3x most of the time (go down to 33% of previous runtime).

I inline them manually.

Let's say you write an Iterable class so that you can use foreach on your data structure. It's quite possible iteration won't be completely inlined and the overhead of calling hasNext & next can become non-significant. An

Well, most EU banks do not care about FPGA or PhDs, especially in subsidiaries. They're just building "apps" in Qlik, PowerBI or similar, using a workforce of a thousand people to interact with that.

From my experience, JVM can't do much when there's a deep stack. I remember just refactoring all of foreach-loops/iterators into for-loops and got insane speedups. Functions with inefficient iterations would get optimized if

Working overtime is a madman's choice. It's possible to work overtime but it's completely irrelevant. It's done mostly for politics. For example, you have small chances of a raise or a promotion if your overtime hours ar

Yep, work in a bank is really stress free, especially in Europe. No one does anything, the hierarchical structure is so meaningless hundreds do nothing at all. People get stressed out when they are expected to work a little. Everyone is cha

I have too much pressure from my significant other. She can't look at me doing nothing (when I'm thinking or having my 15 minute rest between productive hours). Every single time I need to clean something up. I started going to th

I was quite surprised when I realized that Python failed a lot at being async.

Yep, I used it for my thesis and I thought all the scripting for shaping the training data (varying the number of parameters, prefixes, suffixes, transformations to case forms (UpperCase -> ulul) and similar will take me most of my time)

It's stuff like this that makes me believe even more in my opinion that the world is just not built for parents. I just cannot believe this is what family life needs to be.

This claim is not true. I mean, it's so easy to go and read withouthotair.com and see how this stuff can be calculated on the back of an envelope. Then you can try a little bit harder and do 2nd, 3rd and other order effects and get a b

But do you understand his argument? I’m pretty sure he would not disagree with projected temperature increase or wet bulb temperature estimates. They are already being measured and confirmed. I’m pretty sure he would also agree with the est

So if it's not your problem it's not a problem at all? Nth order effects will make it your problem pretty quickly. Many are blind to exponentially growing phenomena. One good example is that a several degree increase can melt the

Given the projected temperature increase the wet bulb temperature will make vast areas around the equator deadly for humans. Millions will be affected in our lifetime or will be confined to spaces isolating from the harsh conditions. Althou

The problem is that there’s no study demonstrating what was stated. Consuming a fructose concentrate will not have the same outcome as consuming the same amount of fructose through fruits. There isn’t a study that shows the outcomes are equ

Diet containing a lot of fruit can be healthy . Sugar consumed through fruit has a massively different effect compared to consuming only that sugar. Fiber with sugar is not the same as pure sugar. I’m not sure there are any studies demonstr

How can slavery be called integration? Having Roma slaves was a thing much longer after 15th century. The fact that Romani people successfully integrated in US might indicate that there exists a bigger cultural divide in Europe.

I believe also that Roma people in the US are successfully integrated and do not live in ghettos or outskirts. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0494831/ Documentary above also really nicely shows the microculture of the

I do have a lot of stuff that I’d be sad about if lost on Google. And yes, I would be inconvenienced to contact all the services for an email change. But when talking about how our society got to where it is now, I just can’t see the moral

I don’t see what’s lost if Google disabled my account. Yeah, photos, emails and similar but that is not really life changing. I’m not saying it’s an unworthy cause to advocate a change but I’m just not seeing the moral weight compared to fa

Private torrent trackers have them all. I’ve contacted multiple members and asked them for their secrets and none replied. I’ve requested several Amazon and Netflix shows and got the pure, not reencoded, unencrypted files.

Yes, startups are definitely like that. I was lucky to not work in those kinds of startups. What happened all the time is that I would look at competition and be surprised by their success. Their product would be extremely bad compared to o
