My bandit system generates an ordered list of the content for each individual user. I then will track if the user came back tomorrow or churned. Yes, they may churn due to many other factors, but the signal of the content itself is strong

I get the same effect using bandits. I practice my craft by spewing out volume rather than focusing on quality. The penalty I pay for the bad content is negligible because the bayesian bandits cull them very quickly. I am learning and ge

Here's what everyone is missing. Don't use bandits to A/B test UI elements, use them to optimize your content / mobile game levels. My app, 7 Second Meditation, is solid 5 stars, 100+ reviews because I use bandits to op

I've been using bandits in my mobile apps for the last 3 years and am now packaging them as a saas REST API. Message me if you want an early look.

The practice of Vipassana is to observe present experience nonjudgmentally and to eventually meld with present experience so there is no Observer. So it's the exact opposite of what you're describing.

The author claims he can't feel the positive emotions because he expects what is coming. One can train their brain to avoid this trap. I am a "smart" person, but through Vipassana meditation and gratitude practices, my mind

You record your level from anxious->relaxed and distracted->present before and after the meditation session. As it gathers more personal data points it predicts more accurately your level of improvement with different length meditatio

I wouldn't call tax credits a "gamble". Gamble implies downside risk.

This author has their priorities wrong. I'm 37, so the physical health of my body is priority #1. Without a standing desk, I frankly wouldn't be able to write code any more due to constant neck pain.

Just as space is what gives matter room to exist, probability is what gives information room to exist. In this unfolding of probability to information, there is a possibility for choice to exist.

The big question is: How loud are the drones? Every quad-rotor I've been around is too loud for the average upscale neighborhood that these will be delivering to.
