Well, personally I prefer a different kind of notation. That said, there are several ways to get the same solution. In the following, apostrophe, ', means transpose and two symbols next to each other means multiplication, Ax = A (tim

This is not entirely true and depends on the logic system that you choose. Something that helped open my eyes to the different possibilities is this article, which talks about producing a formal logical system for statements in Buddhism:

Hi, there. Professional mathematician here. Sorry to hear about your experience. In truth, I believe you. That said, I believe there are some historical and pedagogical reasons for your experience. 1. Often, math is used to teach skill

Alright, so I noticed this before and just tried it again. While I can fill in forms, does anyone know how to save them? The man page says "S", but that doesn't work and I remember this causing issues for me in the past.

Evince can handle forms most of the time. That said, Acrobat allows things like Livecycle (XFA) forms, which are nonstandard and will break just about everything outside of Acrobat. Outside of that, pdftk can handle forms using the forms

This doesn't completely fix your issue, but since you mentioned deskewing, I clean up my scanned documents using ScanTailor Advanced: https://github.com/4lex4/scantailor-advanced I find the autodeskewing algorithm

Candidly, I don't know much about the sustainability of hemp versus the many varieties of cotton, so I will defer. That said, it's not clear to me that sustainability will be the ultimate decider for what textile people use. Peo

Alright, so often when hemp comes up I hear about the textile uses. Personally, I sew a bit and love textiles, but I've never quite understood the allure of hemp fabric or, at least, the best use for it in textiles. For making button

Yes, ACA is based on projected income: https://www.healthcare.gov/income-and-household-information/... However, for most people, the primary number to estimate this is your adjusted gross income, which they explicitly

Your best choice will likely be a plan from the ACA. In California, this is https://www.coveredca.com/ . You can try and get cute and find something like a MEWA, which have theoretically been cleaned up from the disaster t

This is false and will likely get you into trouble. ACA uses your last year's income tax return in order to determine whether a subsidy should be awarded. While it is true that you do not send in your tax return while applying for co

No, I don't think so. The derivative required by the Wolfe-conditions is a directional derivative. Even if we're using AD to calculate the derivative, this can be calculated using a forward-mode method, which is cheaper than a r
163.
by kxyvr 7y ago
I don't believe this to be entirely accurate: 1. Reverse mode in automatic differentiation is not as efficient at the function evaluation. Even discounting certain costs, and depending on how you count, the theoretic cost is 4-5 time

I suppose I don't follow. Strong Wolfe conditions do not require convexity in order to guarantee convergence. If I recall correctly, the requirement for convergence is that the gradient be Lipschitz continuous, not convexity, which s

Is there any particular reason why we have conversations on learning rates and not simply use a line-search that finds a point that satisfies the strong Wolfe conditions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfe_conditions

Take the time to add all of the important deadlines to your personal calendar. The days shift slightly year by year, so a repeating reminder didn't work for me. The last prepaid tax payment for 2019 is due on January 15, 2020 and any

I'm not going to call it good, but I used to use FDF (forms data format) along with pdftk to fill in PDF files on the command line using a combination of Makefiles, pdfs, and fdfs. Here's the best reference I could find for the &

Ha! Finally an answer to what these forms are. Thanks! Speaking of which, what software did you use to make the conversion? It might be nice to pass this information along to the agency to see if they'd be willing to convert all th

Alright, if I understand you correctly, you're essentially using the HSA kind of like a Roth IRA, except that 1. Money contributed is tax free 2. There is a $3.5k contribution limit 3. Money can be withdraw tax free prior to 65, at

I used to have good luck using pdftk for filling out forms and the IRS seemed to encode them well, but it looks like pdftk is mostly dead. Nowadays, evince seems to work OK, sometimes, for filling out forms. And, yes, Acrobat seems to be

This is not to say that you're wrong, but I don't completely understand your numbers. My understanding of the triple-tax advantage of HSAs are that 1. Money going into the HSA is pre-tax 2. Investment gains from the HSA are not

For those of us who are self-employed, I'll mention that low or no deductible health plans may provide better value. When they sort of work, health deductible health plans are nice because: (1) monthly premiums are low and (2) they giv

To be fair, there is slightly more than that. There will be a series of displays that have information about the Manhattan Project. Normally, there's also some displays with a small amount of trinitite. That said, yes, there's

It's hard to tell without more information, but here are some general rules of thumb. Most companies have a multiplier based on salary on how much an employee really costs. Small, efficient companies have a multiplier a little over 2

To me, it depends on how toolbox dependent your code is. Octave Forge has a lot of really nice libraries, but their interfaces tend to differ from MATLAB toolboxes, so getting codes to go back and forth can be a pain. In core MATLAB/

There was a little bit more information about that above. I'm a professional and my initial cost was around $2k and my yearly cost is around $400. I don't have to pay the yearly, but I like the updates and I like getting a respo

One thing that caught my eye was your $20k/year license fee for MATLAB. How many toolboxes did you purchase?! I maintain a commercial license for a single user and it's nowhere near that. I purchased a perpetual license origina

For sure and I agree with many of the difficulties associated with MATLAB/Octave. When I want to put together a more complete piece of software that does things like: have a GUI, interact with a database, network conductivity, or pars
