Have you tried using it with larger projects? You can easily lose a day waiting for dependency resolution to finish — it takes forever .

Humans are not rational agents. Scaling through a technology model that measures “customer acquisition” and uses its for profit structure to identify more effective messaging and adoption patterns for carbon offsetting commitments may be mo

Except complete hypocrisy I suppose, which it falls upon the judge to assert as vice or virtue. Better than invective is a genuine and sincere mutual examination of the facts — actual content rather than mindless reputational slander of an

Get off your high horse man. Disclosing a worry or concern is not arrogance even if you do not wield the expertise to evaluate said concern. It is another input that may or may not be beneficial to humanity to assimilate, but let the reader

I definitely agree that reading textbooks is not commutative with respect to ordering. I wonder whether there is any method for de-biasing from this pernicious effect? Other than, perhaps, split up a test and control group that reads A foll

Nope. I simply mean that it is not a fraud, and can provide a legitimate service in the form of a new abstraction implemented in software.

Why is it a marketing fraud? As a mathematician, I can see the solution of a fully public permissionless DLT as long as (1) there is a PKI — not too hard to accomplish, (2) the generation time of ZKPs and SMPC can cross below the network la

Secure multiparty computation. You both put in an input (I need the insurance or I don’t; versus I provide the insurance or I don’t) and you only learn whether the two preferences match.

Denizens... please. I was clearly facetious. Too deadpan.

Outrageous. I’m offended, because I see open source as a great force for change, and I find your remarks belittling.

That was nicely said. The statement is factually accurate but is the corollary of how to lie with statistics (how to lie through omission by characterizing group X as possessing property Y when it is also possessed by X complement). There i

Ok that is clever. I take your point!

So? Just reformulate it in a way that allows you to apply the Kakutani fixed point theorem and call it a day. That’s what John Nash did.

There exists some way to state this formally that shows these formulations are isomorphic, like a statistical Church-Turing thesis. Does a tree that falls alone in the forest make a sound? Potato, potatoe. shrug

All of which can be reformulated as predictions: * Predict which strategy will arise given a metric to optimize * Predict the next action a human operator would perform here * Predict which action yields the most likes / smiles /

He should have said 11-19 to give the statement a double entendre.

Try Audible and audiobooks, it’s easier to fill the commute with sound. You can also add the Kindle app to your smartphone top-4 bar.

Learning is age invariant. The difference is you will have a day job, but yes, it’s viable.

Just curious, why the anonymous response? You clearly have read Goldreich, which is enough entropy to narrow down your identity to about 1000 people in the world.

How do you deal with state jurisdictions like IL, where online mental health practice through a digital device, even by a licensed practitioner, is illegal?

Notoriety means infamy, or the state of being well known for something terrible. Did you mean a different word?

I agree, as an owner of a total market index fund.

I doubt they will retain them. They were a temporary setup to get to the goal. It’s back to factories as usual now.

Maybe they could use an ML model to narrow down which one of their million use cases would benefit most from an ML model. ;)
