The only way I would fund GIMP is if that funding went directly towards a better UI. It's not worth improving the algorithms given how hard it is to use.

I didn't why they got hung up, but I'm not a mathematician. Given the information they have, it seems they can, starting with the 2D Julia set, use an evolutionary procedure to fold the object into a 3D shape (potentially not uniq

It's an IQ test.

"is very rich broad and compelling" But does it support commas?

This isn't actually true. During construction of the test they throw out questions that don't categorize you. It has discriminative validity even when it looks close.

What you have to understand is that statistically the models are very similar (you can compress them both into one unified model that does what both of them do quite well). However, the ways the models are constructed makes them useful for

You're no statistician or psychologist. Those loadings are huge.

They both have strengths and weaknesses. Strengths of the MBTI include the text descriptions, which are very valuable, and that it focuses on positive psychology. Of course, if you rotate the MBTI onto the Big 5, you see that it does in fac

IIRC the first one was done in the original McCrae & Costa paper introducing the Big 5. Will dig it up in a bit. Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers%E2%80%93Briggs_Type_Indi...

The covariance of the Big 5 and MBTI is high. This means that if you give both inventories to the same population you can do a factor rotation of one onto the other with much of the variance being preserved. This has been demonstrated multi

Also live in Boulder, also avoid bike lanes. Absolutely terrifying.

The book Where Mathematics Comes From demonstrates that the concept of infinity itself is finitistically reducible via conceptual metaphor. This really isn't that surprising though, is it? Our experience is grounded in the interaction

There are an infinite number of such concepts in "machine learning." Just because you liked this one doesn't make it a good interview question. If anything, you are failing at theory of mind - as evidenced here, most people a

Training is expensive, prediction is fast.

I love how I got super downvoted for an idea that is quite possibly central to the future of computing. It's as if HackerNews never realized that they themselves are machine-learning-based scheduling algorithms. Guess that one is going
