Actually these seem like fair criticisms especially regarding your mischaracterization of Ramit Sethi. Your conclusion in the article (under "What would I recommend you do?") turns out to be the same thing Ramit Sethi recommends y

The part that all these nice theories miss is that you actually do not know the distribution p(win) (in the case of Kelly) or the expected return and covariance (in the case of Markowitz).

For those saying that this is a complicated solution: it is. I started using Sendy with SES a few years ago and it was much easier to setup compared to this blog post. Went from $120 / mo to pennies, + the initial cost of Sendy. If you

It's a stretch to call it a neural network. It was already well-known that the Fourier transform can be seen as a matrix multiply which minimizes some least squares problem. This can be found somewhere in S.M. Kay's Fundamentals o

I don't think a piece on information theory should necessarily be "accessible to many people". It's a topic which is normally taught in grad school. Something like X ~ p(x) would be seen all over the place in probability

Linear regression isn't exclusive to statistics. One can, for example, find a chapter on linear regression in most machine learning textbooks, without reference to statistics. I've been on both sides of the fence, but it's al

That's a rather strong accusation... In the article it says REST was studied previously in contexts that have nothing to do with aging.

Implementation of NB can be much more interesting than that: - try different models for the likelihood (the author mentioned Gaussian, Bernoulli, and Multinomial which are part of scikit but didn't bother to implement them) - understan

Thumbs down for me. How can someone write that much text, and then all they end up doing is importing scikit-learn? I can figure out how to do that myself in 2 minutes. The real understanding of machine learning comes when you start impleme

In the spirit of the article, how can frequency domain representation be used for prediction / forecasting? Any examples you could share?

Haven't used Windows for over 10 years and I'm surprised to see how far it has fallen. It's weird to me that the author thinks of these problems as mere annoyances. To me it's utterly ridiculous to have any of these feat

This isn't the first time Vice added their own "interpretation" to push their agenda. I'm reminded of this video on transgender powerlifters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9diqAwNKXzI As one of the com

I think this article was written for SEO. Calculus, linear algebra, and probability would cover pretty much all of the algorithms mentioned in the article.

Not to mention the article is full of grammar and spelling errors. Not a great look if you are trying to promote your product.

As someone who learned ML the "traditional way" I both like and dislike it. I like that I can quickly learn about advanced models since I already know about / can infer the intuition / mathematical details myself most of

Ha, it's becoming my routine now whenever Firefox is announced on HN to search for "mac" in the comments. Waiting for that day when someone finally says something different. I really want to stop using Chrome, but unfortunate

I've derived backpropagation by hand many times and diagrams like these often just confuse me more. For me it depends on whether I'm in a passive or active state of learning. If I'm sitting down on a Sunday afternoon reading

Depends what you're eating. Sugar / carbs => Insulin spike > insulin drop > hangry within 2-3 hours Protein / fat => Smooth sailing for 4-5 hours or more, hunger is much less intense Just my experience.

Are the biological differences between men and women not rather straightforward?

by windsignaling 10y ago
Interesting. It seems as though your preconceived notions have biased how you summarized what you read. Simply reading the rest of the comments on HN should be enough to help you realize that what you posted above is not what it boils down

Consider this: there are advertisements in the subways that warn people against the psychological dangers of gambling. Should those be illegal, given that they cause the casino to lose money? Should Uber be illegal, given that they cause ta

All businesses want to stay in business. Not all businesses need ridiculous laws for that to be so. It makes total sense for a business to act greedily, I wasn't saying otherwise. It does not make sense for it to become law.

There are a lot of things the law says are illegal that are completely ridiculous (a Google search will confirm this). The discussion is about whether those laws make sense and are moral, or if they were designed by greedy guys in suits try

This is in no way appropriate for someone who is asking for math basics. A lot of the material in this book makes much more sense having had experience coding machine learning algorithms.

That perspective seems a little naive. They are professionals, so they know "what it takes" to be good at the subject. Machine learning math is not rigorous in comparison to the type of math you'd study as a math or physics m

I find the adduction stance restricts my movement. It's not hard to find others who feel the same way, including JKDers. It may work for you, which is fine. That's the whole idea of JKD - use what is working for you. By pluralizin

Bruce Lee's sidekick isn't from the Kung Fu he originally studied. It was taught to him by a friend studying Tae Kwon Do. The idea that Bruce Lee discarded everything from Kung Fu as useless is an oft-repeated misunderstanding. Ma
