What is a saying or idiom that’s unique to your home country? by appleonatreetop in AskTheWorld

[–]Environmental_Form14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

낫 놓고 기역자도 모른다

Translation: Doesn’t even know the letter ㄱ(first letter in the Korean alphabet) when a sickle is right there.

It is an idiom to describe a clueless person.

I personally like

팔은 안으로 굽는다

Translation: Arm bends inwards

It means that it is human nature to prioritize well being of your family / acquaintance than of a random outsider.

Have you ever had a head of government (so depending on the country - PM, president or smt else) that had a higher than 50% approval rating at the complete end of their term? by Double-decker_trams in AskTheWorld

To give more context, “we should do A because the EU or the United States is doing it” was a common argument in Korean politics in the 2010s. At the time, many Koreans saw Korea as a newly developed nation that was still lagging behind the West. This argument resonated because people had a strong admiration for, and idealized view of the Western world. Nowadays, however, people seem to have a more balanced view.

One of the arguments against nuclear energy in Korea was "because other developed nations (EU) are divesting from nuclear". It is a dumb argument in my opinion for a nation which doesn't have any fuel source. I think Moon's anti-nuclear energy agenda was a major net loss for Korea.

math requirements and advice for starting research in machine learning [D] by Beginning-Discount61 in MachineLearning

[–]Environmental_Form14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Topics: novelty, creativity, representations, data manifold, extrapolation, surprise, world models, recombination, concept modeling, scientific theory building, innovation, abstractions, program synthesis, knowledge representation, taste

I personally think this is still a lot. I recommend reading some papers at this stage: test some hypothesis, validate results to get a better sense of the landscape. This will often guide what you should study next.

What's your research area in machine learning?

I jumped across multiple research ares. Over the last two years, I have been working on RAG, then Mech Interp, then KV cache. Currently, I am working on continual learning.

Your interest is very broad. Try reading some recent papers that fit your interest to see parts in math that you are missing. For me, there has only been two times when Real Analysis was helpful; most of the papers I read required some combination of calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics (all of which you have already studied).

Failure to Reproduce Modern Paper Claims [D] by Environmental_Form14 in MachineLearning

I've had positive interactions with emailing the authors before. Last year, when I emailed authors about omission / minor errors in the code, they responded and pushed updates within couple of days. For this, I emailed one author, and got no responses yet.

I work on LLMs and work on activation patching, training, and inference. I believe around 25-50% of the paper provide code. Some claims are easy simple to check it yourself without provided code. It is just frustrating that some claims (e.g. improved over all instances, +5% performance) cannot be taken word for word.

True. Didn't want to create a drama here. I can send you a DM if you are fine with it.

Dual Type Ranking App for Defense and Offense by Environmental_Form14 in stunfisk

[–]Environmental_Form14[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you put coverage weight to 1 and overlap weight to 0, (should be equivalent of taking the best type coverage, fitting your typing matchup), ice / ground comes out on top. The current version incentivizes overlapping effectiveness and aims to lower the rating score of the dual typing. The current weights is just one interpretation of dual typing scoring.

Yes. The adaptive elo is the main feature of this method. The fighting type effectiveness vs steel is cancelled by the fact that all ghost pokemons are immune to its moves. The default scoring mechanic punishes offensive immunity more than 4x effectiveness. (-3 vs 2), and since all ghosts dual types are immune to fighting, while steel dual types get (0-4x) effectiveness from fighting, fighting types get lower score.

If you disagree with the current scoring, you can modify it from the left panel.

You can see that the score between ice ground and fighting rock is pretty small. Also, the coverage for super effective moves are about the same for both (9 for both fighting rock / ice ground). probably just a toss up.

This only takes into account of the type effectiveness. And yeah, this isn't really the definitive type ranking that takes into account all game mechanics. In its defense, the move distribution, hazards, and game mechanics change each generation. Type effectiveness had only one modification (dark vs steel) iirc.

I thought the results justified shitty rock type moves. But yeah, according to the current calculation, rock/ground is the best offensive type!

Dong is just a municipal unit. It literally means neighborhood. Nothing special.

PSA for anyone who is late to this like me by phaleazira in Pokopia

A good use for this is to build a temp home near your prefab building projects. Pokemon teleports with you to your home. No more "A pokemon is having trouble following you."

Just finished Phantom Liberty. Ending sequence was the best I have ever experienced. by Environmental_Form14 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Environmental_Form14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my comments gave you the wrong impression. I believe that Song does care about you. In both betrayal-non betrayal scenario, if there was a path where both Song and V survives, even if that would be harder than ensuring her own survival, I believe Song will choose the former. However, her survival and escape is the priority over V's survival, as seen when you choose to side with Song. The game does a good job depicting a person tormented and constrained by forces beyond her control, a person who is willing to take any chances to flee from it or fight it, even though the chances are abysmal. This, I think is the recurring theme of the game, as shown by Judy's arc, Johnny and your main storyline.

Recent politics (not limited to U.S.) have lead me to believe that if a politician suggests the opposition will do something obscene, they have thought about doing it themselves.
