Unless it's officially supported, brand new laptops usually (read, in my experience) have a rough first year with Linux and things stabilize over the course of the second year.

Then I'll say this: I'm pretty sure Jurassic Park was bad science fiction when it came out too.

He didn't say it was no longer relevant, just bad . Are you saying we shouldn't read books that are older than a given time limit?

If the dataset it was trained on is CC-BY-NC, I'm pretty sure the model also has to be CC-BY-NC. However I think this is not respected, or even considered by most people. I'd go with limiting how competitors can use it as the main

I love the hardware on Macs, but I do miss Linux. Homebrew does not qualify as a replacement for pacman or apt.

I probably wouldn't call it automation, but you could regroup all these under the term machine learning or data science and IMHO it would be valid. I think OP refers to AI as the autonomous agent type of AI. Conversation, understanding

Exactly. I had setup some dock extensions before Ubuntu went back to gnome and I'm stuck with it now, can't seem to be able to switch back. Deactivating / uninstalling said extension didn't work. I uninstalled it years a

Up to a point this applies to the more complex machine learning stuff, but I would argue against people on here not understanding algorithms and data structures. Knowing data structures and algorithms is what makes the difference between a

I guess he means you don't need advanced knowledge of learning theory in order to apply machine learning algorithms. Not sure if I agree. It's always good to know the limits of the algorithms you are using, but it does require a t

If you are going to start in RL, you should really consider reading the second edition even though it is not released yet. I am guessing that Sutton is getting closer to the finishing line as there have been numerous revisions already. The

Reading your other posts makes me realize I might be headed in this direction. I'm going to be making silly amounts of money soon enough (at least what I consider to be silly), meaning I could retire in 10 years if I wanted to. I do en

Having just finished a PhD and working full time in industry, I still find myself having the appetite for some unfunded personal research projects. Clearly didn't want to continue in academia, but there seems to be no middle ground yet

Honestly that looks like the most boring roller coaster ever invented by man. I prefer the Sim City one, with its strong dystopian vibes ;)

Just stay at home, no need to get out. You could bump into other people.

I guess we should get ready for another AI/neural network winter. Kernel methods will be popular again!

Tongue in cheek reaction to your calling her "this chick": https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/973951162536706049 I am not "this chick," I have never been "this chick," the correct

More like 2010, the date when it was still controversial to use python3.

There is no quick way to get a good grasp on ML. You just need to spent the time needed to get there, reading and working on simple problems, carefully validating that you understand concepts as you go. It's like asking for a way to le

I can and I am. As far as I can tell, it's only accessible locally, so I can live with it.

Third party software is always a bumpy ride. Something is going to not work out of the box, optimization will be less than stellar, battery usage won't be as good. I cannot tolerate my cellphone not working 100% of the time.

It would be nice to wrap a Jupyter notebook in this format. I'd be able to produce beautiful webpages quickly from research material!

I think he's capitalizing on the fact that the recent AI breakthroughs in deep learning originated from Montreal (Bengio et al.) and Toronto (Hinton et al.), thus all the big companies want to have satellite offices nearby and Canada b

Professors are actually getting lower pay than a lot of AI specialists in the industry. Universities really can't afford to compete.

Covariance matrix adaptation is comparable on real-valued hyperparameters, but you're stuck outside of that. More typical genetic algorithms waste a TON of compute time, so they might end up finding a good solution, but the computation

So what is the issue with systemd? Any strictly better alternative out there?

There's no hype in talking about mathematics!

I agree that this is where the smoky flavours are supposed to come from. So your question remains unanswered. Perhaps guaiacol is generated from intermediate compounds after distillation? From chemical reactions with the barrel?
