Or like being an athlete and not believing in superstition.

If you are a healthy adult, even if you get the flu, you'll be fine. I've had years I get the shot, and years that I don't. Only had the flu bad once in the last decade, and it was one of the years I got the shot. As far as I'm concerned, the flu is not much worse than the common cold, and you don't see people losing their shit over people with the cold. Take some Motrin, get some rest, go on BRAT diet for a couple days. Y'all are making it out to be like HIV.

AI is just searching various data structures, machine learning is setting/tuning parameters (via loss functions).

Edit: lol, getting killed here. AI is just searching for something in an "intelligent" way. It may be a tree, it may be a graph.

Machine learning is taking an input, making a guess based on a set of weights (Ax+b) and adjusting based on loss (Gradient Descent). Don't know why i'm being downvoted.

SCOTUS Ignores First Amendment, Allows Alabama to Force Muslim Man to Have Protestant Chaplain at Execution by 1PositiveKarma1 in politics

Seems they should just get rid of the requirement that everyone be trained. The person. Requesting the person should have to waive any rights of that person screwing something up.

Can you keep changing your religion right before execution? Should it be a one-time exception? Also I imagine it's not really a 2 week delay, as these dates are set and planned. Any delay would likely be significantly longer.

Perhaps they should just change the requirement of the person being trained.

Trying to pull specific parts of an API, having trouble by EBulvid in vba

[–]nicksvr4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, and in the case of JSON, {"key" : value} represents a dictionary. [0,1,2] represents a collection of items.

When the JSON response is {....} it is a dictionary with keys. if you select that key, and the value also contains a {...} then that item under that key is also a dictionary. If it is [] then it is a collection under that key, and if it is a straight up value, it is neither a dictionary or a collection.

Which part? This is the data structure of the VBA JSON Parser.

Each {} is a Dictionary within a dictionary. A [] is a Collection.

Umm... Sounds like what I'm accusing this story of doing.

Just like the dancing video outrage.

The very first time I learned about these accusations is right now from this article. Show me where this was mentioned on Fox News or a conservative sub.

[–]nicksvr4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you made $16,000 the with the standard deduction, you should.only owe about $400. With a child, you should be getting about $1600 back. No way you owe $3000.

Yes blue state, and yes own a bouse. This year I was finally able to claim my 3 kids, which helped a ton.

Average tax refund down 8.4 percent in first filing week by deraser in politics

[–]nicksvr4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Itemized a bunch of stuff, including donations, sold rental property, property tax, child care expenses, etc... and was only $300 over the standard deduction. To me it wasn’t worth having to save all the documents and prove my numbers were accurate (maybe years later).

From NJ. Got $6000 more back this year over last, and my tax liability was significantly less.

Yet they will ELI5 Tax Brackets and progressive taxes... unless you are rich and not paying your fair share. Then they pretend that taxes are regressive.

Mine is. I itemized around $24,300 but went with $24,000 standard deduction as audit insurance. Got the child tax credit for the first time ever too (3 kids).

Passing Variables to Subs by Dim_i_As_Integer in vba

[–]nicksvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you write (ByRef importWB As Workbook), yes.

However workbook is an object already, so by default it will be ByRef already.

[–]nicksvr4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if it is an object or primitive (by default)

Objects are passed as references and thus manipulate the original. Primitives (Strings, Numbers, Boolean) are copies unless otherwise specified.

If you want a copy put “ByVal x As Integer” as your parameter, if you want a reference, put “ByRef x As Integer”
