Yes, I believe you do need to have a good math understanding to understand why a model is behaving the way it is and develop intuition into where the problem might be but that comes with experience. If you're looking into ML research t

I transitioned to what's now referred to as ML engineering 11 years ago, as a programmer I started working on scripts doing all sorts of ETL (in Python - was my intro to the language) and handled datasets saving and loading for trainin

In general DuckDB is great but I had similar out-of-memory issues specifically when using "distinct on" and "unnest". In such cases I usually delegate some queries to chdb / clickhouse-local instead. DuckDB has been

I recently tried out lancedb and it looks great. Allows to directly index vectors into disk and include meta data with them as well

That just slices rows but something like df[cols] for example would be nice (and is more intuitive), the __slice__ api in python is quiet powerful and I wish polars would take more advantage of it

Nowadays I'm mostly using duckdb/chdb to process/transform data. I use polars mainly to view results output by duckdb/chdb. I like polars and I always use it over pandas but I must say that pandas slicing is certainly mi

Indeed, lahmacun (lahmajoon) clearly comes from Arabic "lahm b ajin" (meat with bread) which is just another variation of the Mankoushe (منقوشة) - a flat bread with different toppings such as thyme, cheese and the famous meat vari

I got a Black & Decker cordless vacuum and it works great. Great battery (~60-90m runtime on full charge) which is also easily swappable (same batteries as their drills) with decent suction, build quality feels good too. It's almos

TCL was my entry into coding back when I was a teenager, haven't touched it in over 12 years or so but I'll always fondly remember it. The title of this post is very familiar to me, I'm sure I read it back when it was publish

Haven't checked the full series yet but this GIL article is very nicely written and insightful. Thank you

"Pochemu" is closer to "why" than "how", it asks why something happened regardless of how. "zachem" is closer to "what for".

In the title image, the Arabic word "ahlan" (welcome) is spelled correctly but left to right instead of right to left (should look like this: أهلا)

Article doesn't mention this, I wonder if this includes non-European visa-requiring visitors, if yes then do they offer residency?

Yep, also OP's site doesn't seem to hold correct information. For example Belarus->Argentina visa is not required.

But why would market share matter if the browser is more than capable of handling whatever content a site serves. I don't see this relevant to the issue. I think the fact that Firefox doesn't announce the device's model in it

One of my greatest achievements back then was allprotection.tcl[1] (over 2000+ lines of spaghetti) LOL but I have no doubt that TCL scripting taught me a lot and gave me a huge advantage during my studies! I'm sure you enjoyed what you

I can fairly say that it was IRC that introduced me to the coding world (where I learned to code TCL scripts for Eggdrops) when I was in high school and made me decide to switch my major to Computer Science after my first semester as a Grap

Our team migrated from Theano to Tensorflow more than a year ago and the transition was pretty natural as both frameworks share very similar design philosophies. I never used PyMC myself, but Tensorflow seems like the natural replacement in

I use Firefox Mobile as well but to be fair extension-support is flakey. A lot of times I install an extension that doesn't work and nothing indicates whether it does or doesn't. Also the extensions store doesn't indicate whe
