This shows only the headings of the 5 categories and then empty bars on Firefox... could you offer a pdf or picture as an alternative download for people who don't use (I suppose) Google Chrome?

What about Chinese mistreatments of African workers (in Africa). That is not internal, clearly, and yet criticism gets you in trouble.

Maybe you are poor fit for the team, and your dud team would be full of Rockstars with a different manager? It would worry me if one of my managers thinks that since they have led many teams, some successfully, that any negative outcome mus

Many people here are not from the US. Why do you whatabout the US? Maybe we want interference from neither country?

by zwaps 5y ago
They are interfering plenty with non Chinese affairs. Remember, saying Hong Kong or Taiwan as a caster at a video game competition organized by a US company will get you fired. Or are we forgetting these incidents now?

Crazy that Staedler, Castell, Lamy, Pelican, Rotring, Montblanc and Herlitz are all small German companies that make... pens and pencils. Germany and Japan are for some reason obsessed with writing tools

Football helmets also used to be really heavy and hard. In my time, we were unaware of the negative effects, so we used our helmets as a weapon. This was normal. It worked. For example, if you are a running back with sufficient mass, come i

I do it this way: Find some piece you really like, then find an interpretation you really like. I think that's actually the way it should be. People tend to hype this or that conductor or sound, and there is certainly merit to it, but

Here is another Python graph clustering library, also based on networkX. This one works well for similarity style graphs - dense, weighted and directed graphs, such as what you would get from deriving distances for instances of other data:

Not sure about CF but in terms of representation learning there are, of course, transformer approaches to embedding graphs ( the article essentially talks about the predictive power of closed triads in a graph) So, a good starting point mig

by zwaps 5y ago
Yes The embedding needs to embed a social graph with similarity weights and predict ties. Of course, such partly cyclical graphs can not be guaranteed to embed in a low dimensional (aka far away from N) Euclidian or even Hyperbolic space. W

Just to answer that point: people (academically) look at whether it is a good idea to match similar people, what such a social structure means and how preferences for homophily, imposed or intrinsic, may affect the social structure. Do soci

Op did not provide a single example of an Electron app that competes with native performance. When pushed, they became indignant and said that they have personally worked on several snappy Electron apps, which, however are secret. Also, the

Do people remember music players like Fb2000, MusicMonkey, Winamp etc? In these apps, you just had to have normal windows operations, like drag and drop, select multiple things, copy paste and many more things you just... did with computers

I am sure this was not your intention or meaning, but please be aware that it is virtually impossible for a non-native speaker to write perfect English. English is a language you have to intuit. In contrast to other languages, it has very f

On your target data your model is not high variance. The way you use over-fitting is misleading. In fact, according to the article, the model is fit just right for its purpose. If it were fit any less, given the five pictures, it might not

The author conflates AI and statistical, in particular, causal inference. A ML model and most of what we currently call AI, is a statistical model. It predicts things, and in the process of "training" this model we can also learn

Good to know. Just to be clear, I was not endorsing the article. As mentioned, I have doubts about using a graph structure of pointers for related reasons, most of all because I think handling relational paths will amount to more overhead t

What op links actually describes a different issue than what is in the post. What I got from the article, instead, is the following: If entities could be IDs to which components are connected, or containers holding components. Either case h

Hm, this is not really news, but perhaps it's the first time I consciously think about it. The article is right. I used to search Google for what the best X is. At some point. Indeed, I also used to search amazon and read the reviews.

Unobservable is any factor that is correlated with outcome and switch, which you do not model or do not have data for. To identify a causal effect of x on y, you need to exclude the possibility that x is correlated with z and z influences y

Not to talk past each other’s: The definition of causal statistical identification is a formal one, but builds on the axioms of probability theory. The philosophical and even physical underpinnings of these axioms are, as they have always b

Switched to the win 2k theme and felt an instant rush of nostalgia. Say what you will, I think that the Win9x UI was fantastic and much better than the Windows 10/11 ones.

I cannot really engage with your question. First, because I am not an expert in philosophy (a Philistine, if you will). Second, because it is not axial in the identification of causality, such as we normally think about it. You see, in the

by zwaps 5y ago
You hint at it, but causation is a fuzzy concept even with a RCT. Causation is "established" in the usual sense by having a causal model of a data generating process. Such model may or may not identify causal parameters given the

I was trying to find out what rubs me the wrong way in this article, and I think it is this: Counterfactuals require a causal model. More so, they belong to at least one causal model. This can be a mental model, a formal one, a precise one
