Well, I think the hope is that formulae reveal relationships. Notable applications of SR have mostly been to physics and other science phenomena. So, you do some SR to understand the mathematical form of the relationship, and then carry on

I'm not sure that this wasn't known before. They claim "...while some works have hinted at the possible hardness of SR, no proof has yet been given that SR is, in fact, NP-hard.". Here is a counter example: https:/

I live in the world of data lakes and elaborate pipelines. Now and again I get to use a traditional star schema data warehouse and … it is an absolute pleasure to use in contrast to modern data access patterns.

That’s reads like it took a lot of effort to write.

Useful context: “I firmly believe that in order to understand something completely, you have to build it on your own from scratch. I used to do gradient calculation analytically, and thought that autograd was some kind of magic. So this was

Seems like a much more dev centric community.

by usgroup 4y ago
I think the fundamental reason this is true is because devs over engineer on purpose to make a meal out of simple things. Pretending that your thing will need all the bells and whistles means you can claim you did all sorts of glorious thin

did anything succeed UML without the bloat and problems? I liked UML in principle but it just never was very useful to me beyond drawing boxes and arrows and the occasional sequence diagram.

That medium sized dry objects in photographs and the matter of satellite imagery (for example) have little in common strikes me as self evident. The separation of "lines", "colours", etc at the most abstract level is a t

by usgroup 4y ago
Yeah exactly — deep learning became the universal hammer some time ago, and I think people forget that it is far more sparsely used and a whole less dominant outside fairly specialised domains such as text/image use cases.

I think there were fewer programmers and programming was applied to fewer things. I think over time both aesthetic variability, new entrants and the proliferation of corporate backed super frameworks (which carry needless complexity from da

Well she shows 6+ games where he has 100% correlation with the engine. What are the chances?

Yeah this is interesting … she shows that Hans had many tournaments where he shows record setting move accuracy as measured by correlation to Stockfish 15, and that 6 of these tournaments occurred in a row. She also shows that for those tou

you’re assuming that a person in power has an objective that somehow compliments them acting in an accommodating way: plenty simply do not.

Tbh I read ops advise almost like an endorsement for a self defence course. Bigger, stronger people shouldn’t punch us in the face and take our things — but they sometimes do, so you should learn how to hold your own.

Feels like calculating forcing chess moves. I.e forced mates are conditional on where pieces can go and where the pieces actually are.

I mean doesn’t heaving salaries and a sellers market imply that engineering management jobs are not bullshit? Are there any jobs which command big salaries and which companies hire for directly that are bullshit?
