The last time I tried Immich (a year ago or so), my impression was that Immich tries to imitate Google Photos as much as possible. This includes features such as searching by a person or by "cat", which requires some machine learn

> vimtutor is to Babbel what this is to duolingo It took me half a minute to realize that you probably meant "vimtutor is to VIM master what Babbel is to duolingo".

It's an interesting analogy. I'm opposed to guns in every household because we have the police which is meant to give security to people. There, we allow gun use, but under stricter conditions. The majority agrees that this is rig

Sure, thanks. I also saw this sentence, which was not there in the last version (I think): > That is to say, with n nodes, gaussian integration will approximate your function's integral with a higher order polynomial than a basic te

> [...] almost all methods of numerical integration (in any case all those that are useful and I am aware of) are equivalent to approximating the target function with another simpler function, which is then integrated using an exact form

What about it?

by tim-kt 1y ago
No, the integral cannot be "expressed" as a sum over weights and function evaluations (with a "="), it can be approximated with this idea. If you fix any n+1 nodes, interpolate your function, and integrate your polynomia

What exactly is the mathematical model? What are the mathematics involved? I couldn't find it on your blog.

At least in Africa, Facebook is responsible for a large part of internet accessibility. One can say that, in Africa, "Facebook is the internet" [0]. I can't comment on Asia. [0] https://www.theguardian.com/tec

I'm a mathematics graduate student. A good textbook about a topic in math is gold. Sometimes I even prefer reading a book than going to a lecture because I can skip things that I know or take more time on difficult sections. One time,

Well, there is a saying about spin of an electron. Imagine that you have a ball and it's spinning. Except, it's not a ball. And it's not really spinning.

Sure, I'm using the word "particle" loosely.

Sorry, my last sentence wasn't formulated well. Yes, a wave with higher amplitude (or one could say "intensity") has a higher energy. The photoelectric effect happens when you shine light with "enough" energy on som

What is the name of the better model which you are talking about?
48.
by tim-kt 2y ago
The photoelectric effect [0] can be explained if light behaves as discrete particles, but not when it's a wave since a higher amplitude does not imply a higher energy transfer. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P

I once built a prototype to a "Goodreads but for classical music", e. g. playing Chopin on a piano. I have thought about doing something like what you are talking about. My concerns are: 1. Moderation: you need to moderate content

Care to elaborate? I think they are just trying to put into perspective how much resources LLMs are using?

For an everyday use calculator? Sure. It's still fun and challenging to create a calculator that can handle "as much" math/arithmetics as possible.

To sum it up in one sentence: You don't need to explain words that I can look up in a dictionary, unless you are commenting on that explanation. I know what the word "joke" means but you are forcing me to either read the defi

That sounds plausible. I think that definition is equivalent to a number being rational. > To me, this pretty much captures what people understand the numbers to be used for outside of college math (so no transfinite, cardinals etc.) I&#

It's difficult to read this comment. Why are you writing like this?

> Another way to look at what irrational numbers are is to say that they sort of don't really exist, they are like limits, or some ideals that cannot be reached because you'd need to spend infinity to reach that exact number wh

I don't think that computers have an advantage because they can navigate search spaces efficiently. The search space for difficult theorems is gigantic. Proving them often relies on a combination of experience with rigorous mathematics
