Uh what? That's not how it works, SD doesn't just get inspiration from a few similar images. It uses the weights trained from every image, every time. If you want attribution, you need to give it to the whole dataset, or not at a

I feel like that's a bit different: Ocaml is a functional language. Functional languages have a reputation of being difficult. Plus they encourage a mathematical way of thinking about your code By selecting ocaml developers, you filter

But since rust is compiled, in practice that would be like C unions, right? A pain to work with I mean typescript has those because the underlying runtime is Javascript, which tracks the types of stuff and handles some kind of polymorphism,

No? It may not be suited to their applications (wrong tooling / libraries ), or their collaborators may not use it, or they might simply not like it

I think they meant that the underlying representation for most stuff is a dict. Global variables are stored in a dict (`vars()`). Unless you use slots, an object is essentially a dict Doesn't really disturb me because they're not

Honestly, I feel satisfied when I succeed. My job has long periods of scrambling in the dark for relatively few periods where everything works and you've made something great. I like the feelings of accomplishments when it finally work

K-means is pretty poor when the clusters are not linearly separated, but it is the basis of a lot of more modern clustering techniques (kernel K-means if you have prior knoweledge, spectral clustering...)

Also boosting. But yes these algs are the basis of a lot of more modern algorithms. A deep NN won't do unsupervised clustering for ex, and NNs perform more poorly than simpler models on small datasets

Linear algebra, and differential calculus (needs linear algebra), and a bit of optimisation (at least get an understanding of sgd) Also proba/statistics! Without those you can end up doing stuff pretty wrong

Most currently used keyboard layouts (like qwerty, azerty..) were made for one reason: to avoid jamming typewriters. They are old legacy that is clearly suboptimal, but no one wants to change it because it still works and the transition wou

On the flip side, Celsius is well suited to measure weather, because I can actually feel a 1~2°C shift in air temperature whereas 1~2°F is more faint

Of course it still does. To me, your argument sounds pretty much the same as "The us dropped a nuke on Hiroshima. Me throwing a molotov at my neighbor is fine." Sure that molotov is negligible in front of B. Doesn't make it
