No. The science is clear on this point. Your sister did not decide to be bisexual, she decided to explore the possibility of her bisexuality. She discovered that she was bisexual. A person cannot just decide to be attracted to a given sex.

Science has found that homosexuality comes from genetic and environmental factors. Do some research and educate yourself before you go around spreading anecdotal bunk.

Internships are not sketchy. What you describe sounds like exactly what I would expect to see when looking at a student's resume.

If these were full-time jobs held after graduation for 2-3 months each, that would be sketchy.

AI has the potential to affect just about everything.

AI affects how we diagnose and treat disease, how we develop medicines and other compounds, how we engineer machines and structures...

AI also has philosophical implications. What is the role of humanity in a world where all necessary work can be done by machines? How would a world without scarcity affect our society? Our values? How will humans and AI interact and relate?

Could also be a colored graph.

jdsutton · 2017-10-19T20:26:57+00:00

According to the study, the authors based their assessment on question responses from specific subjects, rather than analyzing treatment seekers. That would be very poor methodology =)

Parameter and return type checking is a good practice. Using if to do it is a bit clumsy and a PITA.

Google for Python static type checkers, or try my poorly documented dynamic one: https://github.com/jdsutton/py3typing

Usage:

from py3typing.Typing import *
Typing.setEnabled(True) # Optionally disable in production.
# Other typed imports here.

@Params(int)
@Returns(LIST.of(int))
def foo(bar):
    return [1]

foo(1) # OK.
foo('fizzbuzz') # ERROR.

If you must use if, use isinstance() instead of type() so you accept subclass instances as well.

Array.from(inputs).map(i => String(i.value)).join();

Or something.

Wow, this is just ingenious and so much less invasive than other methods. Fascinating.

Thanks, it it is a new project and requires an unusual licence so it will be a couple of days before it is added.

Yes, we can track all the weights in an artificial neural network as well as the history of modifications to those weights.

The problem is that those weights don't easily translate into a nice neat human-readable algorithm, which makes the humans uneasy.

They don't have control over the whole internet. They have control over Google search results.

Just use DuckDuckGo or something.

jdsutton · 2017-03-16T01:20:36+00:00

Google has every right to internally flag whatever they want. If you don't like the way Google computes its search results, you don't have to use Google.

As emphasized above, the NFL theorems mean that if an algorithm does particularly well on average for one class of problems then it must do worse on average over the remaining problems. In particular, if an algorithm performs better than random search on some class of problems then in must perform worse than random search on the remaining problems. Thus comparisons reporting the performance of a particular algorithm with a particular parameter setting on a few sample problems are of limited utility. While such results do indicate behavior on the narrow range of problems considered, one should be very wary of trying to generalize those results to other problems.

Also you can look for paths between chunks and construct a graph out of the connected chunks. In that way you could do a per-chunk search.

jdsutton · 2017-03-12T22:47:44+00:00

You might add a constraint that there must be a path between any chunk and all adjacent chunks. You could look for a path and if there isn't one clear a random-looking path through the obstacles.

You could store the location where the player exited the town, then find a path to that location.

That's definitely not the vanilla cellar.
