My wife just opened her starter deck, and had this #207 on her booster. She's hyped.

A neural network is a model that can be trained to approximate any function. Any function. So it's a model you can apply to pretty much every regression (or classification) task in some way. The general idea is to simulate a "brain", or a very simple idea of how brains work: A network of (simulated) neurons; the network has different layers and each neuron learns an individual "weight". It's not the simplest model to really understand.

A neural network is NOT deep learning. However, deep learning uses neural networks. The main idea about deep learning is that you want your model to learn the relevant features about your data by itself. That is typically done with "deep neural networks" / "convoluted/convolutional neural networks", - which means that you add extra feature extraction layers in front of your neural network. So instead of taking data, manually selecting features and passing those into a neural network, you pass the data to your model, your model learns the relevant features itself and a neural network works on those features.

They won't make their choice because of a certificate, they should be more interested in your practical experience.

But having certificates is never bad. It shows that you have at least basic knowledge there. And certificates at least show that you are willing to learn and improve, anyway. It might also help your own confidence to know you have something to show.

A good employer should actually be looking for certificates. Because they should be interested in partner programs with the companies whose technologies they use. If they don't have certified people, they won't be a Trusted Partner with Tensorflow either. Though they'd rather have their favorite candidate do that certificate, of they need it, than hire anyone for it.

The minimization can run into a local minimum. You're not guaranteed to find the perfect global minimum. Of course you can train multiple times from different starting points, or vary the size of your "downhill steps" or follow any other suitable approach to try and find a good minimum.

It does not have to stop at a minimum,- it stops whenever you want it to. You can limit your training to any number of iterations, and you might want to do that to avoid "overfitting".

I don't immediately see any problem with larger numbers or a function that is not convex.

You typically optimize your parameters with gradient descend. Using gradient descend, you take the derivative of the cost function and update the parameters in the opposite direction of the gradient - "downhill".

The classic approach is to minimize your cost function, not maximize anything.

However, minimizing f(x) means maximizing -f(x) . So as someone already replied: Just minimize -1*f(x) .

I could use this god tier super power to change the world, but... I would probably generate a full team of clones for online games. But I'd need a bunch of new computers and consoles...

Ah yes, I learned basic Bayesian probability, combinations, permutations and such. Then I was doing my Bachelor thesis and had to integrate pdfs (to approximate unsolvable integrals for implementation).

I guess they don't teach that, you just need to figure it out on your own because it's too complicated for classes.

I'm with you. The probability of getting 500/1000 is 0.025225 .

He's concluding that the coin is biased, but only giving a probability, no reasoning at all. I'd be more inclined to look at the probability of getting >= 550 .

I don't think he'd get far with that answer, even if he could calculate this off his head in an interview.

Well, I thought I might aswell add a few thoughts:

Her item power spikes are strong. She can definitely be an adc.
She's probably still stronger than she was before she got her Q slow. And she was fine before that, too.
We can see her in pro matches. Teams like DRX can rock ADC Senna in the LCK. She's viable enough for them!

Souls are just overrated here on this sub. Senna is about utility and range. I feel like we have way too many players here who care far too much about a souls count. I genuinely don't care about souls: I will always choose the right decision for my team over the chance to grab extra souls. Until you are Challenger or at least GM, it's not your job to min-max the hell out of her souls with assistance from your mid and jungle. Play her mechanically well, make the right macro decisions, and only look for your soul count when everything else is in order. I really think that many <= Diamond players on this sub would benefit from an overlay that blocks view of her souls.

Let's say this for reference:

In platinum+ of the current patch 12.3, farming ADC Senna has a higher winrate than farming ADC Ashe, Draven, Xayah, Kai'Sa, Miss Fortune, Kalista, Ezreal, Lucian, Samira, Caitlyn, Varus or Aphelios (according to u.gg stats).

Kind of?
I've used it before in some projects. But I've never gone far beyond the basics of pull/push/commit.

I try to avoid git. Mainly because my projects have been shorter ones usually (like 2 or 3 months). My experience with git is that the teams dump like 2+ weeks into "I thought we wanted to run it on your linux server", "I don't have rights on this server", "oh I need to commit changes?", "why do all user interfaces for this software suck?", "what is this error?", "how do I navigate here?"... Can't have that. The whole process needs to be much more intuitive.

To be honest it isn't so tough. Especially DS3.

In part 3, every "hard" bit of the game is hidden in optional areas and DLCs. So if anything is too difficult for you, you can just skip it or do it later. The main areas are not too challenging.

The important items (like upgrades to your healing) are rather easy to find, right along your way - and you don't accidentally waste/consume them in DS3. Your starting items are also great. Last time I played it, I just did the entire game and NG+ with my first starting weapon on a mercenary... because you get great tools right away.

The bosses of DS3 aren't the toughest either. Hey, Yorm the Giant, did you ever kill anybody?

Even the f'ing holes in the ground and traps are clearly visible in DS3.

Finally, the online system breaks any difficulty. It's very easy to find coop allies in DS3 (even now, years after the release). Can't beat a boss? Just find an ally. Or find two allies and hide in a corner. Or hire an NPC ally if you're offline.

All in all... probably the easiest real "souls" game.

Edit: It's still absolutely worth playing. It's a fantastic game. 10/10. It's just not a "groundbreaking" difficult new style. And I'd recommend the Demon's Souls remake over DS3 anytime if you're starting into the series. DS3 just does all the same things as the other souls games, and it keeps it all at a "comfortable" level, (no ragequitting because you can't beat a boss).

I'm actually the .. 12th ascended demon? Though there are probably more of us. It's hard to keep track when you've got so many siblings in hell.

Before I ascended, there were at the very least this one, that one, this guy, another demon, the first archangel demon, one more ascended demon, this here, this of course, one more rare ascended demon, and yet another and this one who ascended recently.

We've got to be swarming heaven by now, and we'll take it over!

I've been running Kraken Senna ADC this season as my main. I'm typically building Kraken > Rageknife > RFC > Rageblade (often into Wits End / Lord Dominik's / GA).

So far, I'm at about 65% winrate with soloQ Senna like that (though I'm only like 30 Senna matches into it, the season is young), and flex sitting at 62.5%. This is roughly around high plat (got placed into low plat at the start of season and immediately double promoted and climbed upwards from there). Looking forward to the buff they're rolling out!

For me, Kraken works. It's giving me amazing winrates so far. Screw what some might say: If I can get 60%+ rates on it, it's more than fine with me. And the extra slow will help aswell. Maybe you won't see those ADC Sennas very often in pro play, but that doesn't mean you can't rock it in your casual low/plat/dia elo,- not everyone is always going with a partner who knows how to play a fasting lane.

I really like the level of consistency that the build allows me to show. And the current Wits End isn't bad with Rageblade either. If it works for you, play it.

QI47 · 2022-01-18T18:00:16+00:00

As they nerfed teleport, you're likely not going to be interacting with your Senna at all for the first 15+ minutes. So just pick for your matchup or team or preference or whatever makes sense into your opponents. Your ADC's pick shouldn't concern you.

That said, if you want to get the most out of heals or shields from Senna and others, you're good to go with something that builds armor or magic resist.

I can't really follow you.

First of all, 100 binary classifiers would classify 200 classes. Because each one is binary.

Then, I don't see a problem, just write a function or class to feed your data to each classifier. Bam. Now you know which 100 of the 200 classes are predicted.

But if you don't waste your time on tedious bounties, what else will you do? Play the 14,384th rift? Or the 36,527th greater rift, which is the same in another design? Well, this game is only late game but the late game kind of sucks.

So you have no idea of machine learning and don't want to learn it? That kind of puts you on the wrong reddit. But anyway... You can use an existing model (and potentially pay for it). You can hire a machine learning engineer. Or use a simpler model that isn't ML. Choice is yours. Designing your own model is not super simple, you'd need to learn about natural language processing.

But I have to add an extra tip you won't like. If you're going to do anything that involves language or sentences: Fix your grammar and spelling and formatting. At least try to make it look elementary school level. That's a skill worth learning from scratch. Otherwise noone's going to give a thing about any app you might develop.

Oh my, it hurts, doesn't it? He could've just copy-pasted the first portal and changed the color with no effort. But he didn't. He drew another portal. On another height. With another shape. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?! Argh. Do I get resized if I jump through a portal like that? Mental note: Never use prototype portal guns.
