People say "spectrum" when they mean "1-dimensional ranged value". But a real spectrum is a bitfield of attributes.

Is Marvel's multiverse "non canon" simply because the universes are different?
513.
by lupire 2y ago
As the canon grows, people care more about it. In the US at least. Doctor Who doesn't worry about this.

What do you mean "reality"? Religious dogma is largely about the supernatural, not history.

Inside the Lower Decks universe, the characters of the Discovery Universe appear to be in an alternative universe.

The ELO system does give you a sense of process. Continuing to beat up weak players does not give you progress. It makes you the one eyed king of the blind. Do you think professional athletes like Woods and Messi are stupid because they cou

You would probably prefer the game Shooting Fish in a Barrel over the game Chess. Winning half the time is better because each of those wins means far far more than winning against bad players. Playing down is only fun for insecure, unambit

Chess is Python and Go is, uh, Go?

That's not useful by itself, because "anything cam model anything else" doesn't put any upper bound on emulation cost, which for one small task could be larger than the total energy available in the entire Universem

That's not a strong reason. Yes, that means ChatGPT isn't good at wholly independently pushing knowledge forward, but a good brainstormer that is right even 10% of the time is an incredible found of knowledge.

Reasoning is a very minor (but essential) part of knowledge creation. Knowledge creation comes from collecting data from the real world, and cleaning it up somehow, and brainstorming creative models to explain it. NN/LLM's version

No. Wolfram Alpha can't solve anything that isn't a function evaluation or equation. And it can't do modular arithmetic to save its unlife. WolframOne/Mathematica is better, but that requires the user (or ChatGPT!)to wri

You seem to get 2(?) free Python program runs per week(?) as part of the 01 preview. When you visit chatgpt on the free account it automatically gives you the best model and then disables it after some amount of work and says to come back l

Instead of training an LLM to make comments, train the LLM to generate test cases and then guess the line of code that breaks the test.

If you are using an LLM for judgment, you are using it wrong. An LLM is good for generating suggestions, brainstorming, not making judgments. That's why it is called Generative AI.

That's not what style means.

Maybe I don't, but the solution for that is to destroy what they have, not torture myself by making myself store and know more about myself. I am not a company. As a human, my needs are different.

A lot of young people who don't know their ancestors are interested in genealogy. (Adoption, immigration, war refugee). People who have so much genealogy already built into their life via a large family don't need to be consciousl

I think the challenge is that the larger you bet, the harder it is to find people who are bad at basic strategy poker but willing to bet against you for a long series of bets.

What's great about that is that the assumption (or O(n) check) that the majority exists is incredibly powerful, enabling the algorithm, which is nearly the dumbest possible algorithm, to work. The one flaw in the magic is that "2n

The title is gentle clickbait applies to one specific game with 0 variance, not to all uses of Kelly.

Why isn't your inductive proof an unnecessary detour?

The Kelly criterion is the strategy with better return due to the uniquely problem structure.

Intuition for the bet size: When the deck has d cards left, it is sensible to make d bets of 1/d your stack, where each bet is that one specific card is next. If there are r reds and b=r+e blues, r of these bets simply cancel out r ot

Corollaries, by considering different deck shufflings, such as perfectly interleaved as perfectly separated: 9.08 ~ 52/52 × 52/51 × 50/50 ÷ 50/49 × ... 2/2 × 2/1 = 52/51 × 50/49 ×
