Finally, a full rank editor. Needless to say the best part is the orthogonal design. Emacs and others compared to this have zero determinants in their favour.

The responses confuse "machine learning" with neural networks so far as I can see. I do lots of statsy things: good luck with that outside of R.

I think that not normal mostly doesn’t imply eccentric.

At least he wasn't "objectifying" them. (for the sensitive, this is a joke about class naming convention, which didn't seem subject to female variable names in the article).

I've never met anyone that speaks about themselves exclusively in third person in any walk of life. It seems like something that could get semantically challenging fairly quickly. I also wonder if eccentricities are independently distr

Honestly? “In all likelihood” by Yudi Pawitan . It’ll make you go “oh wait, there’s multiple ways to do stats and Bayes isn’t a silver bullet”.

I think most of the problem with the statement is that it is ambiguous. If she is saying that the Gaussian distribution is used because it assumes there exists people who are the mean average representatives of humanity; then she is just fa

"The Trial" by Kafka. Corporate BS is quite enough to turn one into a cynic within a year. Its the daily lying and gaslighting I think. I have an allergy to the environment.

I think hierarchies are optimal for command and control but they work best when power is not distributed hierarchically as well. Ie some kind of bottom up feedback that keeps the upper levels of the hierarchy directly valuable to the lower

a priori is the wrong term because our physical theories are not a priori. Dark matter has lots of reasons to be assumed but a common one is that when we try to explain the gravitational effects of galaxies based on a quantification of obse

Its not supposed to be ground for generalisation, but it may be the discovery of interesting side-effects to learn more about: (1) "Scientists discovered that the virus had destroyed endothelial cells by observing patients who died of

Governments want to be able to control monetary policy which to a great extent requires control of currency. It’s totally essential to the management of modern economies. If Bitcoin or some yet to be invented tech surmounted all the technic

I think what makes regret a bit different is that its malleable (you can change the function) and theory laden (it evaluates differently based on what you know).
621.
by usgroup 5y ago
I don't think so. Regret, anxiety and worry all invoke analysis which you may not have done otherwise. Sure, too much may be detrimental but so is not enough. I don't think any of these basic common cues are optimal at zero quanti

Regret is interesting to me because I don't really know what to do with it but I'm mostly convinced that all the primitive emotions have a use and a non-zero optimal quantity. I'd be interested to hear from those with nuanced

I’d say ops statement is false from direct experience of diaspora. It’s common enough to forget your mother tongue or at least relegate your competence in it to a second language. Lots of foreigners try hard to fit in. It has consequences.

Yup UG in analytical Phil, more than 10 years ago. Definitely worth doing. I think you can’t study Phil and not be significantly changed if you understand what you’re studying. You study things like the Munchhausen trilemma, Bertrand’s watc

overwrought is not a word i knew. a "wrought" thing is made in a particular way, or made by effort and artistry, and an "overwrought" thing is overly complex or elaborate. You can say, "a novel she wrought" or

That the majority of a 20 million strong diaspora are running a business is pretty surprising if it is true. Wonder what the consequences would be if spread(BTCNGN) < spread(USDNGN), where NGN is the Nigerian Naira as an example.

Yeah I was in pretty much the same situation a while ago. Big salary, stress, London, job I didn't like. I quit. I started a services consultancy and got the work/life balance I wanted, and got to pick my own work. Personally, if

Well, I like the extremity of your point, its instructive. However, I think challenging the majority usually comes with more baggage than just volunteering better ideas. I think being the my-ideas-are-better-than-yours guy, is having a bett

I tried to make my assumptions clear. I suppose I'm saying that Amazon's massive success should give us reason to think about its HR processes in a constructive light. I feel that many posts in this thread take the view that Amazo
