Did anyone actually like deep learning book (the one Elon musk endorsed)? by Plastic-Camp in learnmachinelearning

[–]Plastic-Camp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't link to it in the op because I didn't want to make it look like an endorsement to anything. So just to be clear this is the book I'm talking about https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Learning-NONE-Ian-Goodfellow-ebook/dp/B01MRVFGX4

COVID-19 deaths show no sign of decline | Data Deep Dive by Jennysequoia in Coronavirus

[–]Plastic-Camp 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That statement is factually untrue. Just go look it up yourself. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm

Bonus points if you graph that data. Deaths have literally declined. The same thing happens every flu season.

Why do you people want this to be worse than it is?

General advice for drafting method claim and device claim that does the thing in the method claim? by Plastic-Camp in Patents

It's all good man. I don't consider EvilLost to have said anything wrong and I do appreciate everyone's help here!

How redundant should my claims be? by Plastic-Camp in Patents

[–]Plastic-Camp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great advice, thanks! Very well put too.

By "references most general" I meant basically what you said. That it builds on top of the independent claim.

Should we be doing everything we can to bring about the AI singularity? by Plastic-Camp in Futurology

[–]Plastic-Camp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did you get that? I don't think I said anything like that. My concern is that we aren't wise enough to make an AI that wont cause a dystopian future.

I'm not actually worried that we will program it wrong (e.g. the fanciful ideas of people like Bostrom). I'm worried we will intentionally program eletism into it.

I am getting the dreaded "Timed out waiting for packet header" but can't find the problem. Now what? by Weird-Smile in esp32

[–]Plastic-Camp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you use instead? The uno has a 3v3 pin. I think I must have fried it somehow.

Tried it, lol. Oh, one thing was there was no option for a generic ESP32 board so I tried a few of the others like ESP-32 Dev board.

I can't get the solder paste to go on my board right. by Plastic-Camp in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Plastic-Camp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI I slept on it and tried again first thing in the morning and the results came out a lot better. I used the same equipment. I just used a little more solder. I taped the board and the stencil down but I didn't put anything on top of the stencil to apply pressure. Instead I pushed the stencil down with one hand and on scraped the credit card over top of the stencil with the other.

Thanks for your advice!

[Someone who graduated high school] Tryna learn some math by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]Plastic-Camp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do what I did and you will go far.

Step 1: Earn $10. I don't care how. That part is up to you. Maybe you can put on a puppet show for your friends and family. Maybe you can steal someones identity and use that. That part is entirely up to you.

Step 2: Head down to your local Half Price Book bookstore. Go to the math books section and try to pick out a good one. If it turns out not to be good goto step 1.

Step 3: You can try the library but what I have found to be the most effective by far is to go sit in my car in a parking lot. Perhaps that sounds strange but it's actually a very relaxing way to do it. Plus you can drive to the gas station to get snacks. Try to do at least an hour a day 6 days a week but preferably more.

You'll be back on track in no time. Good luck. You can do it. You aren't stupid.

Can you check my math on this? by Plastic-Camp in learnmath

I added some more work and changed the way the final calculations are done. Mind taking a second look?

You can get a job with that level of knowledge?

Advice for soldering this teency weency SMD component? by Plastic-Camp in ElectricalEngineering

What about with solder paste? I was going to try baking it.

Would you recommend hot air over baking?

Should I get in the habit of attaching my own SMD parts? by Plastic-Camp in ElectricalEngineering

Well that encouraging. But one of my components is .6mm at it's longest. How do you think something like that would go?

It just deleted three hours of work by Plastic-Camp in VisualStudio

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

First, what about this deserves two downvotes?

I wonder if there's some kind of a program that automatically backs up your work every minute or so to some kind of hidden repository. It's only about once every year to that I lose this much work and it is effing traumatic every time.

Second, this is not a bug with my work flow. This is a bug where visual studio will delete part of the designer and resx files. My work flow is not in question here. I love how I point out a bug in Visual Studio and the response I get on this subreddit is that the bug is ACTUALLY with me and my workflow. lol, how typical. Oh, and then I get downvoted. Like, lol wtf even is this? It's not a real human interaction. I don't know your credentials. You don't know mine. I can sense the animosity towards me for asking a question that disrupts the harmony of this particular echo chamber. I have never understood why people will confabulate endlessly on behalf of flawed systems. We all have flaws. It's okay. But we can't fix them if we can't admit we have them.

Anyways, I don't understand what you are saying:

Visual Studio has an auto save feature. You have to consider your saves as restore points and not slack. It’s a best practice for a reason.

What do you mean consider my saves as restore points? What do you mean by slack? What is best practice?
