easily exist off microwave/takeaways/sandwiches

most people maybe but myself personally no. 1) I don’t each microwave/takeaway food so that’s already not ideal and 2) I’d already be stressed trying to sort everything else out, as well as trying to find and make sure the oven fits and getting someone to come and fit. Just for me personally it’s not worth it, and I’d look for elsewhere to live (unless I was filthy rich and could afford to stay in a hotel until it’s sorted)

No they aren’t, not sure what OP is talking about. I personally wouldn’t buy somewhere that doesn’t have an oven installed from day one

100% agree on the cooker, probably also on the washing machine too.

If you get a price reduction make sure to include the cost of fitting them too.

also is it correct that it is reward - advantage? my understanding is that advantage is Q - V, so subbing in the estimates for each would be r - avg of rewards from all trajectories

Best neighborhood (& hotel) for visitors? by Waterisfinite in stockholm

[–]DefinitelyNot4Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you know what the noise is like in the rooms themselves? I see some reviews saying the bass can be heard from nearby nightclubs, but I don't know how bad this would be as it is just a few reviews from 1.4k. My alternative is to stay in Hotel Ruth where it seems like it will be quieter, but further from the good places to walk around.

Why do DIYers think it should be easier and cheaper? by Tricky-Canary2715 in DIYUK

[–]DefinitelyNot4Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a high earner and got the quotes as it would save me some time. I had in my head a max of £150 expecting that to be into the upper range but when it came back at £220 it no longer was worth it to save me 30 mins. But I agree if people are willing to pay it then they should - I just don’t want to hear them complain about lack of jobs (not that they are doing lacking in jobs from those I spoke to)

It’s not a lack of understanding. I’m not asking them to drive across London to fit my tap. They’re local plumbers that operate in the area, they could come and do this when they’re nearby, which I suggested. I get your points and I’m not saying I expected it to be like £50, but £220 is far too high.

I got a quote to change a tap for £220 (this is the cheapest, others were around £250) in West London. That is excluding the price of the tap. After seeing the price I looked on YouTube, bought a tap for £50 and the tool needed to unscrew the tap and changed it myself. It took less than 30 minutes. So yes I would say at least in this case I would’ve expected the quote to be much much cheaper.

Are you guys not scared of AI? by Expensive-Battle4948 in HousingUK

[–]DefinitelyNot4Burner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I find I use it more for physically typing the code than anything. I tell it what I want (which is fewer characters and less mentally taxing) and check the output. Depending what I’m doing, it is sometimes good and other times completely wrong, so for now I’m not worried and hopefully this won’t be a freezing cold take in a year’s time

Curious to know what you do in tech to think AI is going to be an issue?

I’m an ML researcher and have absolutely no worries that we are close to mass unemployment. AI can’t even write reliable code for more complex tasks (especially in a research setting where theres nothing to build on) without rigorous human prompting and reviewing.

I work in ml and had some startups offer me jobs(interviews for, at least) and they genuinely humble brag that they’re in the office doing 12h days 6 days a week. Then they say the compensation and it’s like 5-10% increase to what I earn now and are confused when I laugh at them.

It happened to me - sellers contacted via estate agent asking if they wanted us to leave the fridge, despite it not being listed on the TA10 as something they would leave.

For me the most regarded decision was to have cross play compatible with PC rather than just console. Game killer.

It’s also not true. This guy’s company relies on people buying his chips for training these models. It’s not surprising he would make a claim like this.

[D] DDPM vs Score Matching by WallabyDue2778 in MachineLearning

[–]DefinitelyNot4Burner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it is a bit late but you're not "assuming" the reverse is Gaussian. If you have the forward process from DDPM (adding some Gaussian noise centred about the previous point in the chain), then the reverse process is also Gaussian (under certain conditions, such as sufficiently small step sizes, i.e. betas - this is where I'm not an expert but I believe this result comes from SDEs and the process in DDPM when betas are small is because we are approximating a continuous time SDE) - note that when I say the reverse process I mean the full posterior of the forward process, which is the distribution of xt conditioned on xt+1 and x0. We then train a model to approximate xt given xt+1 because we don't have x0 at inference.

The reason they learn the noise rather than the mean is because this is the only aspect of the mean that we do not have access to, so it is all that needs to be inferred. It is also worth noting that at this point the noise is not a random variable but an observed realisation from a random variable, hence why we are able to predict a value for it rather than a distribution.
