Interesting. It seems to me that the two consecutive primes, modulo 7, are more likely to be an odd and even pair (i.e. the total of the 2 modulo is more likely to be odd) than an odd odd or even even pair.

I did a part-time PhD there. Took ten years but I had a very supportive advisor and managed to finish it working a day a week on it. You get out of it what you put in. They have good teachers but if you do it remotely it's on you to do

Towards the end of that section, he mentions they have also used it to generate unit tests. I doubt it's doing full TDD, but it seems they are part of the way there.

This is really cool. However, I doubt it can write more than very simple functions. That may be enough to be useful however. It would be nice if they created a demo page where we could try this out. This use case is a little different than

Streets of Rage 4 is very good. It's cartoony violence, so probably Ok unless you have very young kids.

Did anyone else read that first sentence as 'Where did all the codE go?" And then do a double-take? Maybe I need more coffee....

They are universal approximators, although the term approximator means there's an upper bound on the accuracy of how well they emulate a given function (based on the size of the network). However, just because they are universal approx

I am guessing legal and/or PR had a fit and removed it, as any publicity around this sort of thing is very sensitive these days, even though they were pointing out legitimate errors in the ACLU's work.

It's not hard to build a machine learning model that can predict the price direction with slightly more than 50% accuracy. However, once you factor in the trading fees, slippage and the spread, you will almost always lose money. I buil

Part of the problem with this is assuming that the person regained their site, they would not initially be able to make sense of the information. Seeing happens as much in the brain as in the eyes. I love how they spoke and wrote back then.

If he wants to know what the general public thinks or has to say, he should do a Reddit AMA. That would be the best response IMO.
