I suspect this may be a first contact with deeper philosophy for many, which accounts for its popularity on HN. Its doubtful that it breaks any new Philosophical ground, and interested parties may be better advised to just read a history of

The "Meditations" referred to in the list seems to be the work by Marcus Aurelius in the raw data (available at the bottom of the page): not Descartes -- presumably -- "Meditations on First Philosophy". It was just a spo

Here is a complimentary question: why don't Americans living in state X move to state Y whereby state Y would be clearly better for them? I think it answers most of the original question.

Ok I see, but that doesn't strike me as different in kind, is it? I.e. bytes to 6-bit sequences for which there is a mapping table. Now you have a string of 6 symbol sequences. Then divide the string into 8 symbol sequences and map eac

I think substantive improvements in the market will coincide with decreases in the base interest rate since the UK is a highly leveraged economy and investment/borrowing is where much of the development budgets originate, especially in

I think the forward guidance from macro forecasts by various banks is peak unemployment around December 2023, and the beginning of a recovery around mid 2024. We are expected to be back to growth by early 2025. I personally concur with this

Just reading the wikipedia page on Base64 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64 ). Algorithmically it seems to be a 8-bit byte to character mapping. So, if you were to base encode a character string it'd be {charac

A bit adjacent to the topic but I'd personally like to see the ratio of points to comments taken into consideration when ranking posts. I.e. higher ratios of points:comments should rank higher, with points:comments < 1 being the sta

I’d suggest fitting an isotonic regression instead. I think it’s a reasonable expectation that online and FIDE ratings are monotonically related but it seems unlikely to me that they are linearly related even though it may be an ok approxim

No, that's not what I meant. I just mean people not telling other people. For example: Pyrosequencing AB: SICS developed a dispensation order generation algorithm for Pyrosequencing's sequence analysis instruments, using constrain

I'd note two things by way of encouragement: 1. Prolog is often used in things that are kept very secret. There is a relatively small set of professional and highly committed users centered on distributions like SICStus. There is a muc

I actively use Prolog for data analysis. There is an initial phase in which you have to force yourself to do everything you can in Prolog mostly to understand how to convert a question into a symbolic problem because Prolog has terrible sup

Python doesn’t compare to R for analytical work — it doesn’t have the eco-system and R is specialised for it. Where Python broke in was machine learning which is not analytical work and often involves lots of general purpose programming. sk

Skimming through, this looks like an attempt at a foundation with a bunch of applications. Meanwhile, it looks to me that the applications can generally be explained without the fairly advanced foundation (e.g. stochastic block model, conce

Looking through the contents I thought the same thing. Seems like a lot of theory with only a handful of attached methods. I think one might be better of just reading about uMAP, Mapper and persistent homology directly . At least the last t

see the discussion section -- it is apparent that data scientist roles are in decline in isolation.

see the discussion section. author argues that it is a true decline because other roles (data engineer, ml engineer and data analyst) are either keeping or gaining share.

Might there be another explanation which fits the facts other than the authors being wrong?
