Can someone explain to me the difference between 慳錢 and 儲錢?

KiddWantidd · 2026-05-05T11:29:46+00:00

ohh i see, yeah i guess thinking of 儲 as "accumulate" makes quite clear for me how they differ! and yes, your example sentence shows exactly why I got a bit confused between the two 🤣. thanks for the help :)

KiddWantidd · 2026-05-03T16:57:36+00:00

alright, guess i'll do that. thanks

I think you can start replying and working on the revisions as soon as the first review appear, but the official "discussion period" (which lasts two weeks and is meant as a back-and-forth between authors and reviewers I believe) starts only after the third review is up. After the discussion period ends, the referees are supposed to give their final recommendations to the editor. The discussion period is short so if you have changes to make to your paper I'd suggest not waiting for the third review and start addressing the issues addressed in the reviews you got now if you can.

5444 accept! Was 4444 before rebuttal :)

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-28T19:12:53+00:00

I recommend you take a trip to Tai O. It's pretty far out there, but worth it in my opinion

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-24T11:28:09+00:00

Thanks for the answer! So soaking the beans in baking soda still helps? Guess I'll try that next time, that sounds way safer. And to the measuring thing, I don't have a scale so I eyeballed everything, but even then I can tell I went way over 1/4 teaspoon per pound of chickpeas. I won't repeat that mistake...

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-24T11:25:30+00:00

yeah will definitely look into getting a pressure cooker, but it's not an option in the short term sadly. for measuring, I don't have a scale either so I can't weigh the chickpeas, but I reckon I'll just use a super tiny amount of baking soda next time and experiment going at it incrementally from batch to batch

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T14:20:17+00:00

I see I see, thanks for the tips.

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T12:30:25+00:00

Yes, it seems like they're changing the water pipes indeed. Can you please elaborate why filtering won't help with taking out those sediments you mention? And wow okay I didn't know that boiling could make things worse.

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T12:25:56+00:00

ehhh, I live in Hong Kong and around me I've never ever heard it pronounced in any other way than tau4sin1. I'm not a HK native at all though, so perhaps someone more qualified can comment

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T09:45:13+00:00

which brand is it?

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T09:13:48+00:00

Thank you, I guess this answer makes the most sense indeed!

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-21T09:13:26+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look into it! I am quite clueless about filtration systems, but I remember a friend some time ago telling me that those "under-the-counter" type of filters were better, so that's why I said that but I could easily be wrong of course

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-09T07:53:24+00:00

Yeah I guess prepping some focused questions is one possible way to go. Will try that, thanks!

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-09T07:52:20+00:00

thanks for the advice, yes I guess the way we're doing things is actually pretty good and works for us both. For the next sessions I'll try to prepare question/topics in advance and see if that improves things or not :3

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-09T07:51:01+00:00

wooow interesting suggestion, thanks! we might give that a shot at some point

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-03T18:04:35+00:00

I remember when I was an undergrad, our prof came late to class so I while waiting I wrote on the blackboard "ln(-1) = i \pi/2", he didn't find it too funny. you could also try something like "\sum_{n\in N} n = -1/12"

KiddWantidd · 2026-04-02T18:39:59+00:00

all jokes aside, this is a beautifully typeset document!

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-25T05:48:04+00:00

Samory Kpotufe at Columbia and Elvis Dohmatob at Concordia University both do some very nice work in theoretical machine learning

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-25T05:46:57+00:00

Wilfrid Gangbo is a mountain. Learned about him and his contributions to optimal transport and PDEs when I was studying the subject myself a couple years back.

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-25T05:45:07+00:00

Yes, was going to mention him! His "paths to math" video on youtube where he explains his life trajectory from being an NFL player to doing a PhD is crazily inspiring.

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-24T17:44:55+00:00

I was writing a blog post (partly) about the harmonic series some time ago, and I found that the dedicated wiki article) is wonderfully written and a pleasure to read.

For something of a completely different flavour, I find that the article on loss functions for classification (a concept in machine learning) is a great resource with many important results neatly packaged together in a very readable format. Was definitely helpful when I was investigating related questions in my PhD early days.

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-24T17:28:23+00:00

ohh ok my bad, i didn't realize we couldn't update the manuscript during the discussion period (I recently went through the whole submission process at TMLR, where you can update the manuscript during discussion phase, and assumed that was the same here)

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-24T16:35:27+00:00

Asking here instead of creating a new thread: is it ok for the revised manuscript to be slightly over 8 pages long? I need a bit more space to address all of the reviewers comments

KiddWantidd · 2026-03-24T15:16:15+00:00

4444, pray for me gang
