   Have you interacted with any political organizations in the last 10 years offline? If/when you interact with them online, do they claim provenance through some actual recognized body or just some vagaries around how they want to depict

   I think that's a pretty obsolete take that hasn't been reliable since Obama '08 and the "digital strategy". Not saying anything about "should", zealous downvoters...

   in the high entropy world we have, we are forced to assume that the first thing that arises as a stable pattern is inevitably the most likely, and the most likely to work. there is no other pragmatic conclusion to draw. for more, see "

   I've resorted to calling this kind of breathless fearmongering out for what it is. There are too many people suffering too greatly in the existing system to be civil at the expense of maintaining the fictions of libertarian idealogues.

   You calibrate for a reasonable distribution of p and use that to estimate (Monte Carlo, etc.) expected gain, optimizing your investment based on that. With this technique your estimate will probably end up somewhere around the common heur

   this comment may be confusing and I doubt this will help much but: Ergodicity is less about memorylessness and more about the constraints on transitions into this or that state. A system is ergodic if "anything that can be an outcome,

    Another trick I've noticed is to use the unsubscribe link as a redirect to a (surprise?) non-functioning webpage. "Sorry, please contact the account administrator to unsubscribe."

    The thing about software is that it can only ever define its own process. "Software as spec". The goal of automation is to find processes whose architecture and dynamics are already amenable to being represented in software. Publi

    I am having trouble coming up with more examples of "methods which revolutionized the practice of statistics", can you think of any? Is statistical mechanics not a physics discipline?

    I heard it from a professor who was a researcher in magnetohydrodynamics, studying flows on and under the surface of the sun. I don't know where to read more unfortunately, I'm not sure where it'sbeen fleshed out as an ideolo

    This is an appropriate application of this prize considering the adage that there are now three pillars to science, the third being simulation (after theory and experiment). Also, many of the underlying theories in machine learning display

    There's thousands of years of human societal development, and millions of years for mammals. Hard to believe we'd learned nothing about promoting social cohesion during that time.

    Tensorflow started out as anything but lightweight. In my opinion it takes the cake for kludgiest framework I've ever worked with. So verbose, so little effort put into ergonomics. Even eager mode is not really valuable unless you&#x27

    Praising XLA by defending Tensorflow of all things has to be one of the strangest takes I've ever come across. JAX is right there. No need to beat a dead horse when there's a stallion in the stables.

    I can probably climb a tree faster than I can build a rocket. But only one will get me all the way to the moon. Don't confuse local optima for global ones.
