Yes, but it is also possible to generate "parameterised" random walks that have some predictability and are visually indistinguishable from "pure" random walks. Or two series that are dependent, but individually look lik

Those things are not equivalent. But schools typically teach these things as a "theory part" and as "practice/application part" (for example by "syncing/sequencing" courses if possible) which helps wi

Also; there might exist a phenomenon such that MS products allow "consolidation" of influence/power in big/old organisations. For example, Slack would need to be a bottom-up initiative in most organisations, whereas MS T

The problem is product/market/financing; not in personnel or organisation. Airbus and Dassault are doing fine because they have well defined stable markets and (probably) government funding.

Dutch canal-building is (one of) the counter-examples to the claim that large-scale coordination of water systems creates collectivist societies.

The problem is that your VM provider is (unwittingly) offering the same address space to spammers. Maybe the spammer was using random addresses in the range? Or someone was starting up misconfigured smtp servers permitting relaying. Running

Yep. It seems to be from stolen accounts, maybe gathered from leaked account/password lists. The result is that outgoing hotmail/outlook smtp servers are added to blacklists until they start content filtering their own users.

The ease with which he can use AI is the same as for everyone else. Therefore he gains no relative benefit and can't "make money from AI". However, information-retrieval and "thinking assistance" helps everyone at t

A little hint: multiplication and addition are associative which is why they make sense as atomic operations. (Although allowing both multiplication and addition in the protocol breaks this ...) If you read the introduction and then spend e

Yes, but Google's search volume would make it impossible either way. But they are probably using various techniques in analyses, embeddings, "canned" answers to queries, and so on.

The term "Markov chain" is used only for sequences where the "current" state depends only on the previous state. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_property

by yobbo 3y ago
If we let Markov model mean a probability distribution over a sequence defined as P[ X(t) | X(t-1) ] , then a transformer is specifically not a Markov model. The Markov property means each element is conditional on only the previous element

Find all the chords from the set that have all but one note in common with the playing chord. Choose one of these at random. Go back to 3 and repeat forever. This means a fairly small group of chords. Not sure it covers more tha

Sure it is. "Depression" might just be our perception of the biological phenomenon where an individual decides to spare the group's resources and thereby increasing the chances of the group. First by becoming tired (saving re

I'm not saying you are wrong, but it's maybe too early to describe Google as an example of "market failure" or "pathology". One could debate if it's fair (or legal?) to let one side of the business (search

The maps UX (zoomable infinite scrolling map) was implemented independently previously to maps, which was originally built by an australian start up (?) iirc before being acquired by google. The term "AJAX" was coined around 2005

In principle it's not different from discovering that some certain probability distribution fits some certain type of data. It's not random or bogus but it's also not exactly natural science in the sense that it answers &quot

The benefit, in the eyes of leadership, might be that the consultants/devs are easier to replace which reduces risk.

The problem is not that that work environments are cartoonishly toxic, but that 95% of people will implicitly down-rank people who ask stupid questions or turn out wrong. So, we can encourage people and act accommodating but it is just poli

Related, but; "speculation" is defined as the expectation that the residual price of an asset will be higher than the cost of buying it. Bubble can be defined as when the general price level in a market is decided mainly by specul
