Federated Learning[1] you can train across multiple customer data by sending the in-training model to every device, then exfiltrating only the backprop adjustments you get back. In-theory, user data never leaves the device. In-practice, the

The rich/poor gap in the vaccine debate is pretty shocking. Not just these legal fines (cheap if you're rich), but the "alternative vaccine schedule" that some (very few) doctors recommend is also expensive and not cover

Random forests produce the same kind of decision trees that used to be hand-crafted, but admittedly, the ones they generate look distinctly "non-human"

I can't picture what percentiles look like, but $120k in SF was a hard life compared to the $90k in Seattle I get now. And I consider myself plenty rich.

Might be wrong, Co-Bots start at $35k and Kukas are custom-built, often get over 6 figures.

I don't support CO2 pollution, but yes, the period of the Younger Dryas experienced global shift of 2.5 degrees celsius within hundreds, or perhaps possible singles of years, of presumed natural causes. > http://www.realc

Sorry if this is nonsense, are these semirings a form of "Kernel (linear algebra)"? They seem superficially similar at least, a normalized matrix which can serve as an operation applied stepwise to a larger dataset.

I imagine it's a huge success metrics-wise. The infinite scroll and bright pictures, even the sizing of the preview boxes as 2/3s screen height, it's perfectly tuned to maximize user engagement time. And since they put extra

Can Google/Facebook/Twitter be considered "uncensored internet"? To what degree is a culture's view of moderate speech different than its influence of "soft power"?

I'm new to it myself, but it seems difficult to navigate the minefield of LTCI, particularly the Daily Benefits payouts available are around $200/day, which is lower than the cost of many facilities.
