They do pain research on people getting colonoscopies because it varies so much. A lot of people do find it unbearably painful. It's a relatively small fraction though.

Medical research is devoted to diseases, particularly where there's confidence something can be done about it. It's easy to imagine science being weak on something if it doesn't cause life-threatening problems.

I'd say startups are a much better example. But I didn't come here to argue politics, just asked for someone to describe their superior optimization process (math being my actual interest, so still waiting to hear it). I wouldn&#x

They don't escape local minimum at all. And that means they suck for society at large compared to what? Random guessing? A corrupt government price system? An omniscient one that can solve NP hard problems? The "if" motivates

Greedy algorithms suck compared to what? If the greedy algorithm still converges fastest and is closest to optimal compared to any other practical scheme, the paper's result still does not say anything of practical use.

For $150 you're buying the right to say "patent pending".

It's a widespread problem in science: https://www.nature.com/news/1-500-scientists-lift-the-lid-on... A domain where results are easily reproducible is settled science, and not what people are researching anymore.

The stealing is what makes it a crime, not the personal benefit. If you rob someone solely to the benefit of your favorite charity, you still robbed someone. I would assume explicit actions like mislabeling ballots or actually changing some

We use it for "AI" classes (as in literally the class with this title, as opposed to machine learning and other narrower jargon). I think most everyone does. The class itself is kind of a spork though, not really useful when you h

Speech in freedom of speech refers to the communication of ideas and opinions, not all communication. The term "freedom of expression" is commonly used to clarify this. Lying to your partner is not a crime. Taking their money unde

Have you tried installing it through anaconda? I was using tensorflow 1 (1.14 maybe?) just a few months ago (once I realized tensorflow 2 was running twice as slow for some reason). I think there are some really big projects that still can&

The point was more about narrowly describing the conditions under which they have succeeded, limiting how much you can conclude about the reasons. Playing catch-up is always easier and faster. Growth requires risk-taking. but if you already

You're defining skin in the game as everyone "in the game", making the term rather unnecessary. Skin in the game means a risk of losing some investment you brought to the table, not just losing the ongoing benefits and downsi

Just to be clear about the law, there is a limit of a couple thousand bucks on campaign donations under the federal election campaign act. The issue is under the first amendment, the government is not allowed to curb speech by people or org

I think virtual machines are the best way to keep old software around. I have one for 32 bit stuff that's over 15 years old and making something of a comeback. Personally I'd be more interested in ReactOS as a way to run current s

Let's. Men are not allowed to say such things either, or the opposite views. So no, it is not a problem but a way to prevent problems.

People in the minority when it comes to political views would be better off in a workplace that isn't allowed to discuss politics. Especially if they're getting triggered and trying to shame people, or openly protesting company de

24 hours can make it hard to coordinate times to talk (maybe they were expecting you to call back that day but not the next one), but is still great service in my field. Responding within a few hours and in person is definitely going the ex

I'd say the authors have impressive resumes, though the arguments about economics and society are too far out there for me. So I didn't read very far into that stuff to see what they have gained from the position. But I see it mor

They could go also back where they were a year ago and lose half your money. Then enjoy a lost decade of no recovery as the US piles up Japan-style debt. Not making a prediction, just saying what goes up fast can also come down just as fast

Just insert the words "these days" and "mostly", and you're pretty much covered. Also a honorable mention for calculus perhaps. Even decision trees use gradient boosting very commonly.
