Physicist here, don't worry if you don't understand that PDF, it is a pretty terrible explanation.

If I understood correctly, 1) it's a male dominated culture 2) people somehow communicate they are men 3) women prefer posting anonymously Interesting... and how about the news that get posted, do you think they read them but they just

Do you have any theory that could explain why there are so few women here?

Honest question, why is it why is it 21 Megs? It sounds huge for just a front end.

TL;DR The article doesn't really answer the question, it just mentions how many different Guineas exist.

Except that the guy in the picture of the article is Socrates.

Glad to see the Socratic method in the list. BTW there is a guy on youtube using it to discuss religious beliefs with random people. It's fantastic.

KNN is quite a simple operation in ML. I might be underestimating the effort but... Why is this an achievement?

All I needed to write my conv net library was to understand the chain rule and some basic multiplication. People like to make this look harder than it is.

And this is my favourite part: "And how strong is 41.4 teslas? Going back to the fridge magnets, you'd need more than 4,000 of them to achieve the same force."

Any idea why this has been flagged? Having meaningful discussions is crucial in a work environment. I have seen posts about Alzheimer, resilience, psychology... Using it do discuss god believes was a kind of stress test to prove that any t

The point of this was to learn how to question decisions at work, and doing so in a way that you will be appreciated. The god believe was just an example of a believe that usually is hard to challenge.

It is a method for examining believes or ideas, either you or the other person can learn things over the process, a thing that is great.

I think discussions at work would be shorter and more meaningful if we all used this method. Before I knew this method existed I noticed a colleague had this approach with my claims and it did wonders :D

by xchip 9y ago
true, but when you are discussing things in a meeting or with an architect you have to deal with being face-to-face

That is the point, that the same method can be used to question many other topics. For example ideas of a new product/service.

From Wikipedia: "The Socratic method [...] or Socratic debate , is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and unde
