Anyone play WOTV? It’s a gacha that seems slightly less gacha then a lot of these.

HN is a bubble and it’s sad so many people live in it they have no idea what is happening to 50% of the population in this country and needs it drilled into their head repeatedly that they even exist.

Did you even read what I wrote? People are experiencing lack of housing even in not typically expensive areas. I’m from the middle of nowhere west virginia, and the rents have doubled and the only local jobs are fast food tier. These people

The cognitive disconnect is pretty insane here. Affordability issues are a widespread phenomen. You may be able to remote work in a low cost of living area, but the type of people who have housing instability can't. They have to be sup

If you couldn’t afford a place to live you may feel differently.

The idea is they will buy it from Russia.

This isn’t a good faith comment. You assume that there is actually a problem with the authorities not having perfect access to criminal communications. We’ve gone the entirety of human history with ridiculously simple methods of analysis fo

This all sounds like the solid advice I've heard before, but your very first line is where my disconnect lies. How is it not robbing my future self to divert that money into a savings account instead of having it sit in the 401k? All t

I've heard this for awhile, and I never really understood it but perhaps it's just my particular situation. I can take an interest-free loan from my 401k-type plan at any time. I figure if I lose a job or have an emergency taking

Thank you too for this information and for the resource, I'm looking at it now it seems very interesting. The breakdown you give above seems to me to be more akin to something DL types tend to call 'feature engineering'. I al

I don’t at all. Sometimes living “paycheck to paycheck” has its perks. Make sure to have enough money with the last check of the month to pay the mortgage, while having the largest 401k contribution you can manage. Without active investing

I’ve only ever played with constraints in the loss at this point. Would love more time to also deal with constraining the optimization. Do you have any examples that come to mind that worked well when doing this? Thank you for your suggesti

I have never dabbled with constraining the parameter values themselves. Ive mostly put the constraints into the loss function. This works well when working with regression, a super simple constraint that adds penalty when the regression goe

It’s like any other system. A middle man has to take their cut and will increase costs. There is no reason (that I know of) to think the dealership model would ever decrease costs.

I would take the opposite approach here. Instead of overfitting, bake probability into your model. Whether using a Bayesian weights or using an ad-hoc version (I.e. dropout and batch normalization), you can do your predictions in ensemble a

I’ve found constraints in the loss functions are key to finding the correct solution space. With small amount of training data and SGD you can get a lot of mathematically “correct” answers, but a well informed constraint based on your probl

It’s not a problem now, it will be a problem when you can easily get a Ford direct at MSRP but you have to pay dealer markup for a Chevy.

I technically live paycheck to paycheck after deductions, but I have a fairly high percentage (20%) going into 401k/Roth type stuff (before taxes income of ~80k). I bet these people are saving a lot for retirement as well.

Are you a late career researcher by chance? Your comments feel like how things used to be done. I think the most important thing to getting your paper read now (other than being in a nature level journal) is being indexed on google scholar.

I have multiple papers and none of them have university affiliations. The publishers are more than happy to take basically anyones money to just post your pdf online.

I was hoping for insight into a bunch of decomposition methods (SVD, POD, DMD, AA etc.). This was nice too. If anyone has any really good links discussing this type of decomposition please don’t hesitate to list some here for me :)

That’s how basic research works though. If you were older you’d be starting the see the results of the clickbait science from 40-50 years ago.

So you’ve come full circle here, though. What’s the difference between trying to have people not cheat the test at university and not cheat the test at the certificate authority? I was with you until you brought in this part, because it’s l

Because they are cheaper? I’ve hired unlicensed people to fell trees in my yard that weren’t really going to fall on the house etc. Also, I’m fairly certain car mechanics are not licensed where I live. Sometimes licenses are just frivolous,
