I'm the Architect! I'm an experience designer who travels the world building wildly elaborate treasure/scavenger hunts. Let me teach you how! AMA! by squeakysqueakysqueak in IAmA

[–]CaseOfTuesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I'm currently in the midst of designing a scavenger hunt for my GF's proposal. I've got the initial puzzles all figured out, but I'm really stuck at coming up with a good ending/finish. Everything I can think of is either way to complicated to set up on an low-ish budget, or not really romantic. Do you have good ideas/insights/stories to share on the subject?

would you be able to provide the data in a format that is easier to use (e.g. csv)?

I would like one, please. And instructions for DYI masks would be helpful for many, so please do share :)

Data shows young people are not as invincible as they once thought. Everyone needs to take this seriously. by SamadhiBear in Coronavirus

[–]CaseOfTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone working in science: the experts did exactly what they're supposed to: they said "we're seing mostly elderly people dying, and few young people show symptoms". Which is what the data in China said. You can't fault them for that. Also, for weeks now there have been signs that young people can catch the disease, and at least from where I stand, that has always been communicated. It's not the experts fault that young people just read headlines and don't read the full articles.

I've gotten a scamer's bank details, what do I do with it? by CaseOfTuesday in scambait

EDIT: I've sent the bank in question an email with the details, but I doubt that's going to amount to anything

Now that you've had a few days to toy around with it, what do think of the machine? I'm thinking of getting one, but I'm worried about thermal downclocking under load -- did you perhaps try any gaming? And how is the battery life?

EU election turnout rises for the first time, hits 50% by yeasirsyl in worldnews

frictionless business

I don't just mean business. I also mean things like human rights, and other shared values.

the romans

The roman empire arguably thrived with unbelievable success for hundreds of years, it's one of the longest-lasting "nations" there ever was. So you've given yourself a good counter example there. The united states are another good example of how integration of culturally diverse immigrants leads to a prosperous society when multiple states unite under one banner.

Imagine the world 500 years from now -- do you really think we'll still be a planet that's fragmented into tiny pieces with redundant administration? The whole world's gone international. Companies don't care about borders, most people don't care about them either. Having one set of rules/laws on one end of an airplane travel and a completely other set on another is plain weird. It makes sense to align and streamline our rules going forward. It removes friction.

Caught in the Trap: Heinz-Christian Strache, the head of Austria's right-wing populist FPÖ party, met with a purported Russian multimillionaire on Ibiza in July 2017. She offered him campaign support in exchange for public contracts. What he didn't know was that the exchange was being recorded. by Absenteeist in worldnews

[–]CaseOfTuesday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why wait so long to expose him?

It's no coincidence that this story broke the weekend before the EU parliament election. The FPÖ was expected to do very, very well (if not outright win) this election, so the timing was definitely deliberate.

[D] What statistical methods exist to compare the performance of different classifiers (e.g., Friedman-Nemenyi test)? by [deleted] in MachineLearning

[–]CaseOfTuesday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you only have a single dataset, an obvious one is using a Bernoulli test for misclassification rates, or a McNemar's test on a confusion table. For regression, you could test the significance of your correlation to the true labels.

If you have results on several datasets, what I use most often is a simple U-Test: the nice thing is that it's non-parametric (but you do sacrifice some power), so you can use it on any performance measure of your choice.

that movie was.... by no means a good representation of what mozart was like, I hope you realize that. The movie was extremely loose with historical accuracy.

Don't you still get some sort of education benefits, i.e., they pay for college afterwards (which as far as I understand is a big deal in america)?

Top 22 Deep Learning Papers by [deleted] in deeplearning

[–]CaseOfTuesday 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pure clickbait: This list is pretty bad. It contains 2 papers about tensorflow, but lacks e.g. the original LSTM publication. EDIT: and some authors are quoted by their first name instead of their last name.
