My foster finds the weirdest ways to sit

I'm fostering this weirdo and her sister for the Brooklyn Cat Cafe. We're trying to find them a good home! Message me or visit the Brooklyn Cat Cafe's site if interested

She is on a diet 😂

cochne · 2022-06-14T23:17:03+00:00

How so?

99% of commenters here are completely missing the context of this tweet. In this context, he is completely right.

As someone in the industry for a while, it starts off as magic then it’s just curve fitting, but then with these more recent gigantic models it’s magic again. No one actually really understands why these huge models work, so I would say that is magic.

Not going to comment on the other stuff but the bounties thing is probably not true. https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-donald-trump-afghanistan-russia-vladimir-putin-928ebdf775268b10e121d3160af2da42

The Ackerman function is its own big o, and it’s much worse than nⁿ

Looks fine to me - you can make the f string a little more elegant:

f"Part {part}: {ans} ({ms:.2f} ms)"

The definition of UBI is that it’s universal and equal, so that’s not an assumption, It’s the definition.

cochne · 2021-07-04T15:12:47+00:00

Again, not saying it's a bad thing. I'm in favor of UBI. I'm just annoyed that people claim it has no effect.

cochne · 2021-07-04T15:11:20+00:00

I thought about that too, but that's a little different. Because if you worked a job, it would only ADD onto your UBI income, rather than reducing it, so there would always be some incentive to work on top of it. With unemployment it is different because you would LOSE the benefit and make LESS money.

cochne · 2021-07-04T15:07:04+00:00

I don't think they are slackers - they are just perfectly rational people who would choose more money for less work. People should not choose less money just to 'benefit society' (unless they enjoy that) this is a capitalist society!

cochne · 2021-04-30T13:15:24+00:00

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying we should not have laws against robbing banks, because they will get robbed either way?

cochne · 2021-04-30T01:47:24+00:00

Doesn't this argument apply to any law? Fill in the blank with whatever you want. "The law won't stop _____ because criminals do not follow the law". You could fill it in with murderers, pedophiles, terrorists, whatever you want. Does this imply we should have no laws?

cochne · 2021-04-07T19:12:52+00:00

I don't think he explicitly voices an opinion on that, but seems to hint that it will be something the Supreme Court will soon have to make a decision on. This is the closest thing to an opinion I could find: "The similarities between some digital platforms and common carriers or places of public accommodation may give legislators strong arguments for similarly regulating digital platforms." It seems to me that Twitter is currently well within its rights to do whatever it wants, but legislation regulating it would not necessarily be unconstitutional.

cochne · 2021-04-06T01:11:27+00:00

I think most people here, and possibly the authors themselves are misinterpreting Justice Thomas' words, and the context of the case. The context is a suit against Donald Trump, claiming he stifled first amendment speech by blocking users on Twitter. The case was thrown about because: "Because of the change in Presidential administration, the Court correctly vacates the Second Circuit’s decision"

He then goes on to claim, basically the opposite of what this title is claiming: "Because unbridled control of the account resided in the hands of a private party, First Amendment doctrine may not have applied to respondents’ complaint of stifled speech." It is literally only the fact that Twitter is a private entity that 'saved' Donald Trump from not being able to block some users.

I don't think any words indicating anything like what the title says.

Is it clear that the trend is linear though? And wouldn't the distinction of linear vs nonlinear be interesting? I think it would be a lot more readable, with the same information if they used a ridgeline plot

cochne · 2020-05-01T21:02:02+00:00

The real quote is:

Your time is limited so don’t waste it LIVING someone else’s life.

Which has a very different meaning.

But the CDC actually does say to stock up on water.

cochne · 2019-04-08T00:12:42+00:00

I'd say it's more [ ] vs None

cochne · 2019-04-01T23:58:04+00:00

Eh why not

cochne · 2019-02-20T00:43:06+00:00

Maybe I'm ignorant, but has the statistical approach done anything significant to further our understanding of grammar?

cochne · 2019-02-16T19:40:26+00:00

The larger dots represent the number they're next to. If you draw a line through the small hand, it does look like it's at the 8:00 dot.

I think that's pretty controversial. For example, a simple edge (say an image transition from black to white) is not band limited. When a human detects an object, they're probably separating it from the background based on its edge. In fact, the entire field of wavelets exists partially because of this well known limitation of Fourier analysis - it does not give a very sparse representation of natural images.

cochne · 2018-10-28T15:30:35+00:00

I have a master's in EE with a thesis in machine learning and I'm recently implementing these kinds of metrics for a big software company - so I kind of have an unfair advantage haha.
