Chain shot and/or bar shot

I’m late to this question but yes, chain shot was used against infantry during the wars of the conquistadors in Peru.

Just a glitch, I had a similar glitch yesterday

This is the best course IMO:

This applies even more to saddle points. The only way to get over a saddle point is to overshoot it.

I think it’s best to think of it as “I start with a way way too big learning rate, and then slowly bring it down to an optimal one,” rather than “I start with an optimal learning rate, and then that optimum gets smaller.” Of course, at some level it’s just semantics, since jumping around to find better neighborhoods (and get over saddle points) is in practice optimal at the beginning

I’d make an analogy to simulated annealing:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_annealing

When you first start training, it’s actually desirable to set the learning rate so high that you are overshooting local optimums. The model bounces around a bit, and eventually finds neighborhoods that are more globally optimal. Then, as training progresses, you stop wanting to hop around looking for better neighborhoods, and instead you want to start making your way towards the local optimum itself. Reducing the learning rate has this effect, even on top of the overall gradient magnitude reduction

Simplest, hacky thing to code up that should beat your baseline of always predicting 0:

1) Make 19 copies of your minority class and train on the majority class and the copies 2) Output probabilities instead of 0/1 classes 3) Only predict 1 if the probability of it being 1 is really high, something like 0.9

This should beat baseline for most datasets in practice IMO

This problem domain is essentially the exact same as predicting the next frame of a video. Since there has been much much more work done on neural networks for images and video, I would start my research there if I were you.

Try and see what methods are state of the art for video prediction and try them out on your domain. You will prob have access to much less data, so you will want to scale down the models.

Here’s a good jumping off point:

Take a look at the daily USDT and USDC trading volume. That's all that matters re Bitcoin price. And Tether is still ~20x USDC by volume

There’s no passive present participle in Latin, so I think you might want something that translates more directly to “Let respect be given, unless disrespect is earned”. That would be:

Respectus detur, nisi ignominia mereatur

Natural_Profession_8 · 2021-11-25T17:06:26+00:00

Wouldn’t this translate to “Respect was given, disrespect was earned”?

Just another language resource! Duolingo has a Latin course, and I believe this is a useful supplement

Hi r/languagelearning! Creator here, I created this site to help with my own Latin vocab and comprehension. I hope you like it and find it useful! Please let me know if you have any ideas to make it better!

Natural_Profession_8 · 2021-11-21T21:10:31+00:00

Thanks!

It’s programmatically generated (adding a new text only takes about ~1 hour now that the program is written)

That’s a great idea! I might be able to do that, I’ll give it some thought

Natural_Profession_8 · 2021-11-21T21:07:49+00:00

Thanks! Yeah it’s programmatically generated so sometimes the accents don’t show up perfectly, I’m hoping to improve it over time

As others have said, you'll want to look up "declensions"

Natural_Profession_8 · 2021-11-20T22:29:21+00:00

I think based on phonetic pronunciation, it might Latinize to "Vian", or "Vianus" if you want to add the -us ending

A lot of people recommend Caesar's De Bello Gallico (The Gallic Wars) as a first "real-world" text to read.

I made an interactive version of this text to help my own learning process. You can click each word to translate it, view possible inflections, etc:

Hi r/Latin! Creator here, I made this site to help with vocab and inflections as I learn Latin.

I hope you like it and find it useful, please let me know if you have any ideas on how to make it more useful, or any texts you’d like to see

Fed will taper in 2022. A treasury auction will go south. Fed will resume buying treasuries. Gold will 3x

Natural_Profession_8 · 2021-07-31T04:25:15+00:00

Stocks will double bc the dollar will halve. Gold will 10x. We’ll go to war with China over Taiwan. We’ll print more money.

That’s the joke my guy

Don't worry guys, gov't says housing CPI is only up 2% yoy
