It is well known among practitioners that not all models have equal learning capacity and that additional data is wasted on those with lower capacity - if you plot a performance metric vs dataset size, you can see it just saturates and stop

No, it's a longitudinal study (it looks at several existing groups with different levels of facebook use and gives them a survey to measure life satisfaction). This can extablish correlation, not causality. The causality can be complet

555 kWh is about 55 USD at $0.10/kWh, so for 22.5 m3 that's about $2.5 per m3 (or 1000 l) of water, cheaper than EU residential prices (3 EUR per 1000l in France) and also than than what I can find about US residential prices (NYC

Yeah, you can feel the bad blood behind the press release. Basically ESA nicely asked SpaceX to maneuver their sat and shorten its lifetime - they don't have a legal basis or enforcement mechanism anyway. SpaceX pretended not to hear u

Fiber has a latency advantage in real world usage. In the common scenario of multiple computers and users sharing a single connection, if one of them does something latency sensitive (gaming or video chat), he will be bothered a lot less by

Those blades are very light, probably carbon fiber. If the propeller breaks, the blades would be slowed down tremendously by aerodynamic forces in just a meter or so. Just like a piece of cardboard would be.

This is not that hard to figure out: 12.5B tons is about 12.5e9 m3 of water. Earth's diameter is 12700 km. The area of a sphere (Earth is a geoid, sure!) of that diameter is 5e8 km2. 70% of the Earth's surface is water, so only ab

No, you can be an ML practitioner with just an intuitive understanding of, say, gradient descent works and you would do fine. You can even pick up that intuitive understanding on a strictly need-to-know basis, when it's needed for lear

This is a popularization of things already published in open papers, so it does not reveal anything specific about their activities. Any place employing deep ML practitioners could have written this. It could even be a red herring, as the m

If they can find it, the government will seize it, don't worry. They even double dip: they seize both the stolen goods and the money paid for them, using the forfeiture doctrine unique to the US. Then, the payer has to prove he was buy
