None of those (but they could be added to the mix to complicate matters). Consider the case that the labelers creates the labelled training set by cherry picking those examples that are easy to label. He labels many, but selects the items t

Yes Thorp had secured a hard to schedule meeting with Shannon regarding his research. Turned out Shannon was more interested in the analysis of a few gambling games that Thorp had thrown in the conversation. The wide interest in things that

Curious, at what price per barrel does US oil fields get profitable? For their own domestic consumption they don't really need the Irani oil do they ? It seems to be the case that it's rest of the world that needs the oil and US n

I am always pleasantly amused that many HN folks share with me a love for weaving, knitting and knotting; not to mention ropes. Dang had once posted a long list of HN discussions on these topics. I think there is something about them that s

Blake's and Durer's artwork are two of my favorites. What I find so teasingly difficult to explain is that despite being so different there is some shared aesthetic value between them that I cannot quite pin down in words. Perhaps

Numerical overflow mostly no, but in case of exploding gradient, yes especially about coming up with a way to handle it, on your own, from scratch. After all, it took the research community some time to figure out a fix for that. But the ex

I got some of those links and links to the summary of the story. But I did not want a summary (why massacre such a beautiful story *), and neither the later links (pretty bad visual presentation of the story), but the Nautilus link in parti

You are perhaps talking about some simple plumbing bugs. There are other kinds: Why didn't the training converge Validation/test errors are great but why is performance in the wild so poor Why is the model converging so soon Why i

Don't worry when stochastic grads get stuck math grads get going. (One of) The value(s) that a math grad brings is debugging and fixing these ML models when training fails. Many would not have an idea about how to even begin debugging

I would recommend that you start with one of the classics (not much of deep RL) https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/10-703/textbook/BartoSutto... This will have a gentler learning curve. After this you can move

For that matter, they aren't really Arabic numbers, Europe got them from the Arabs though. Hindu-Arabic would be little more correct. Liber Abaci by Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonacci) is an important interesting book to read. There he is try

Funnily enough it had always been geometry of motion for me. Over the decades this effect has diluted somewhat, but for me time was always some landmark shapes of the hands of the clock and how far the current arrangement of the hands are f

A non-apartheid, secular, constitutional democracy would be a welcome change. I don't see it happening though. About half of Israel is very strongly invested in the opposite.

I am talking about the Chinese clones, not the original (is there a difference ?). As you mention they did not fare very well in the India-Pakistan conflict.

What seems to be the problem with their S300 clones? Anyone knows ? Easy to jam I suppose.

Do distinguish between Zionist / Jewish supremacist types from someone who is just Jewish. I don't like Israel's policies towards Palestine but know many Jewish people who feel the same as me. Heck, I know Israelis who thinks

That means it's exactly from Zelensky that he wants help. Narcissism-speak is easy, once you have figured them out. For example if they accuse others of something, that means they have done exactly what they are accusing others of.

Even if the problem of an effective decoy ballistic warhead could be solved, it will a still quite costly to get it "there" at "that" speed. Might as well fill it with high explosives. Appreciate your reply.

I agree and not all mathematicians care about or are motivated by how well a set of axioms model the real world. To a mathematician the richness of the consequences of a set of axioms is its own reward. In this sense mathematicians are boar

I would like to understand this more. How are decoys discriminated? The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all. Radar reflectance could be manipulated. Drag and lift perhaps, but can't those be matched with the real thing ? W

That is an opinion of some, yes. It's the US that dismantled their democratic parliamentary system to maintain their hold on Irani oil. It's the US that shot down their domestic passenger jet with no apologies forthcoming. it&#x27
