The python result should be expected. Python's integer type isn't sized, that is python will happily give you factorial(100), despite it being much larger than 64 bits. It can't then give you twos complement, because it can&#

Oh actually that's a really good point and I think makes the difference clear (there isn't such a train/test divide in the driving example). Thank you :)

I think that you could consider the co-adaption as a form of greedy local optima (I think this is a very handwavy explanation, though, and I'm having trouble forming it better, so take with that what you will). Dropout prevents that by

Minus the part where it isn't a lidar. Sure its a great sensor, but if you need a lidar , then you can't use a kinect. And alternatively, if you need 360 degree fov, etc. an actual lider is often better.

That site really enjoys saying that the outlook of things is sketchy. Apparently being redesigned is a sign of a sketchy future (blogger), as is the site owners not being aware of a recent redesign (sites). They also ignore a whole lot of o

I think you messed up at the end of your post. Are you missing the word "not" here? >I become convinced that Google (or a subsidiary via Alphabet) is going to end up being much of a player in the space.

That's what I assumed, it feels like there should be an intuitive connection (both are kind of situations where a local optima is avoided by removing the greedily optimal path on a graph structure), but I may be wrong, i dunno.

Someone who is perhaps better versed in machine learning: Is there some sort of intuition here that would connect this paradox to the effectiveness of dropout in deep neural networks, or am I drawing connections where there aren't any?

That was a typo. I meant pseudo. I don't actually know that there is any difference in this case. I made that statement hastily. It transpiles, nothing pseudo about it.

Even outside of that, I can override the bitrate in some instances. But yeah, I was mainly talking about the necessary replication, cache, and transcoding (and I actually forgot about the multiple codecs, which they also provide, in additio

Pypy still has a gil. Pypy is experimenting with non-GILed versions, and in fact there are people actively working to remove the GIL from pypy. But the same can be said of cpython (the gilectomy), and yet I don't think that you'd

Pypy still has a GIL. GIL-free seems to be one of the explicit goals of this project.

It seems to be that it pesudo-transpiles python to go and compiles that down using a normal go toolchain.

The security issue here isn't with f strings, which oddly enough, don't have this flaw (because they are literals only). This has to do with new style string formatting, which does not have access to globals.

You're exactly correct. Outside of 20% time, I can't see that example being really realistic (at least not at Google for an android launcher, there are other companies where I've heard of 10+ competing internal libraries for

Really? Everything I'm familiar with has approval and review on everything in government, bureaucracy is synonymous with government to many people for exactly this reason.

Why do you think those two things are impossible to do at the same time. Most companies also have hierarchical structures, and most governments use some kind of bureaucratic process to approve major new projects, I'd expect it to be mo

Right, a single book has on the order of 4-500 pages, longer ones have more, but we'll take the average, and an average book has....30 lines of text per page, so 13500 lines per book. That makes the kernel ~1000 books, which is a lot o
