But the number of people living in a non-nuclear apocalypse world will be much higher than the number of people living in a nuclear apocalypse world (assuming the probability of a nuclear apocalypse is less than like 90% or something). Your

Yeah got it for a family member. If it had a micro sd card slot, it really would be the perfect ereader.

Yeah but you are rolling the dice every time you eat from those roadside stalls. Most would never even have heard of food safety inspectors

45 is definitely not extremely young to be a professor. Not in the US, where you start as assistant professor. I know plenty of PhD's who graduate and start in a university as assistant professors, age range starting at around 26. My a

Nothing about how it relates to the multivariate Gaussian distribution either.

This is also due to Obama era scholarships/money provided to refugee students aren't done by the Trump administration anymore. The universities were indirectly subsidized by the US government and aren't done so anymore.

Gnome is not that great. You can't even put the panel on the bottom of the screen. Which is just incredibly basic configurability and even that is unavailable. Desktop Linux on the whole is kind of annoying because on each new install,

So true. Just last week I thought I would start to use python 3 because I was starting on a new project and had a new computer. I installed anaconda python 3 only to have it crash when starting jupyter because the new python 3 version doesn

I like to think of it as a feedback loop stabilizing. I think it's the model used in Harry Potter. We won't be able to observe what happens during the stabilization. Paradoxes become impossoble then.

Computer vision has very little actual employment? That's just not true at all. I want what you're smoking lol.

Of course PhD students take classes. Most universities make you do 36 credit hours before you can pass your qualification exams. They just don't have courses on specialized topics but there are plenty of relevant graduate level courses

As it's used almost everywhere in coding circles, regression means a patch that made things worse than it was before. No implication of the worse state being there before.

It doesn't matter if I can afford it... I can afford to spend $500 too. Doesn't mean I'm going to spend it on just anything. Making a meme on a website is barely worth the time I spend doing it. The $10 seems reasonable if I

I am sure there has been lots of theoretical justification in favor of the uniform prior in Bayesian statistics, especially for bounded intervals. I am not a stats guy though, so I can't show you the justifications in detail. The whole

> There's nothing special about the uniform distribution that makes it some kind of natural or default prior for a random variable on a bounded interval. Okay... what's your basis for this? Uniform prior is how Bayesians do it,

You are misapplying probabilities here. If you assume no knowledge, and you have two options for X, true or false, then it's a 50% probability of X being true. Similarly, if there are N possibilities for X, and no prior knowledge for X

That's how I write in Julia. Start with an algorithm with no types and eventually introduce type contraints everywhere, and even adding new types.

Looks like somewhere in the middle he/she switched to a different style. Where +, *, etc are treated as infix operators by default; so that you don't have to write `+` anymore. But to treat + as a regular operator, you would write

No...undergrad = bachelors. But graduate means both master's and phd. No one says graduate to mean solely master's. And post-graduate might be a vague term (no one uses it) but generally it means the same as just graduate.

It depends on the universities. Yeah for most public universities, the grad students are directly funded by the professor's research. In many other universities, grad students are funded through the department, as in they are guarantee

There's actually a lot of room to move the needle on pay even. I know a CS department that is giving it's grad student a >$5000 yearly raise from $25K because it's grad student union (unofficial) found out that CS students

In my opinion and experience, the process of teaching itself makes you a much better researcher. People can get bored doing research, epecially if it is primarily solo research. Plus, teaching forces you to learn a subject much more thoroug

More like two options: 1. "A staggeringly comprehensive knowledge of UNIX", three years of domain-specific education, and a network of people who trust you to--no, who depend on you to be able to get things done with that knowledg

Well if you define a new type, and * and + operations for it, you will get matrix multiplication for free in native julia. I think you can do similar things for a few other algorithms in native julia. I don't think it will be MKL speed
