That's just arbitrary. Is 999 million okay? Or is the threshold different? And if someone's net worth crosses the threshold where should the extra money go?

Considering the quality of Wikipedia and the effort that has gone into it, why would anyone attempt to work on an alternative?

Make sure that your VSCode is set up correctly - I'm not experiencing any of the problems that you're describing.

At the same time there are companies in which there's R code running in production to serve ML results in real time. No idea how common it is, but I've worked for such a company. My point is that R isn't just for scripting an

> One quirk that got me the last time I touched R was that functions and variables live in different namespaces, so you could assign 4 to foo and then call it. Either I'm greatly misunderstanding or this is just plain wrong - assign

But readr gives you a tibble instead of a plain data.frame and that adds a bunch of other headaches.

Upgrading makes the changes explicit, tinkering with your environment variables doesn't.

* stringsAsFactors = FALSE is now default breaking a lot of packages (was this really worth changing?) Definitely worth it. Not sure how many packages it will break and whether it would count as breaking at all.

That's my second point though - why do you think that PRML and MLaPP need a modern successor at all?

> For instance, there is no decent textbook on modern machine learning. Prior to 2014 they were great. Do you mean books on theory or on language-specific libraries? Either way I can think of many examples. Also, the pre-2014 books are

It's more difficult to pick up than Python or R but it's worth it.

Julia has the type hierarchy that you're describing and it's very easily extendable.

Good luck with getting people to upload sensitive legal information to a free platfrom that they know nothing about and which has a confusing operating model. Unless you're a big company and you're offering something which looks,

The time scale is from several months to over a year. It takes a while to answer questions like - does it provide immunity, is it safe, what doses provide immunity and are safe, is one innoculation enough or does it need to be repeated, how

In one of his fastai videos Jeremy Howard makes the point that wrong labels can act as regularization and you shouldn't worry too much about them. I'm a bit skeptical as to how far you can push this but you certainly don't ne

> I would also argue that culture of hire/replace team members in agile manner would help enforce this process more naturally and vice versa. You're arguing in favour of high turnover - that can't be good neither for the c

I think that for me there's some value in having an account and very little value in spending significant amounts of time on the platform.

The title is seriously misleading. They aren't doing their ML engineering in yaml. If you look at the snipper the article, you can see that their code is in flat .py files. The config is in yaml (which is also how everyone else uses it

Even if Swift wins over Julia it certainly won't be because of these two points (syntax and Python interop). Julia probably has the best Python interop out of any other language and the syntax is fairly simple (although a bit ugly with

Similarly, I felt that I outgrew my kettlebell and tried to order a new one - absolutely impossible right now, like most other home exercise equipment. At least it's something completely non-essential. I'm just grateful that we ha

I work as a data scientist. Some of the author's points are workplace-specific: lack of leadership, being the only data person, ethical concerns. The others are just aspects of the job - communicating about your job and impact, dealing

If you look at the last few "confirmed" plots, all the lines are in the bottom left corner but the x-axis still goes to above 70 (I guess for the sake of consistency) - this means that most of the space on the screen isn't us

Incrementing a number means increasing it, usually by a fixed amount (in this case 1). That's the context in which 7 to 8 is the only increment.
