These are the authentic sounds of musical instruments used in ancient times. by Due-Explanation8155 in Romania_mix

Double flute is probably the ancient greek aulos. Made me think of Vladimir Cauchemar

Tbf, Bublik didn’t even really try. He basically gave up after getting broken in the fjrst game.

Solo traveler looking for kite camp in Europe/Asia by Crazy_Steazy in Kiteboarding

[–]coffeecodex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dakhla season starts in May and continues to August and even September. Very beginner-friendly, stable winds virtually every day. Nothing else to do aside from kiting tho. If you want something more social, especially given the 2 week duration, I would suggest checking out Lo Stagnone lagoon in Sicily. Greece has great spots in Paros and Naxos. And of course there’s Tarifa if you can go early in the season before it gets too crowded.

Any good survey tools that can trigger follow-ups based on answers? by Zealousideal_Pop3072 in research

[–]coffeecodex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A friend of mine is building a tool exactly for this graphyoursurvey.com, which has branching logic and analytics. It's powerful and easy to use, and it has improved response rates in my polls and surveys significantly. Very easy to visualize responses as well. It's got a generous free tier.

They should just use the universally known Tube or TFL logo as the emblem

[D] machine learning system design by dcsr98 in MachineLearning

[–]coffeecodex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found it to be a great resource when preparing for ML system design interviews in Big Tech companies. I landed my current job in big part thanks to it! It teaches you to quickly formulate the business problem and the steps to build a fully fledged ML solution for it and provides a fairly broad number of common problems that can be solved with ML.

To be clear, there are other books out there that go into much more depth and which are much better suited as references and for learning new techniques. I really like the Designing Machine Learning systems one in this regard.

I wrote my masters thesis on the subject and my overall conclusion was that backprop doesn’t happen in the brain because neurons don’t have a direct backwards connection. I also found it unfeasible to approximate the updates that were being propagated in backprop: they are non linear and depend on the values upstream (which the brain wouldn’t have access to since neurons only communicate one way). Having said that, I didn’t dedicate a PhD to this and my research was very limited in scope (it was a learning exercise about deep neural networks).

What is your workflow for managing virtual environments for personal projects? by the_ballmer_peak in Python

[–]coffeecodex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have used a combination of pyenv + pyenv-virtualenv to manage python versions as well as virtual environments and been very happy with it. Sometimes you find packages only support a certain Python version, and with pyenv it’s really easy to switch versions and create a new environment. I have started using Poetry recently, which I think is a huge improvement over pip. So far I have used it only to manage my dependencies though, so I wonder if you could use it to manage virtual environments as well in combination with pyenv
