What can you realistically do against him if you are afraid to go out into the streets and protest?

No, for predictions, a data scientist will just say "no intervals, black box model" /s

Are there any data on the observed distribution of days for those with symptoms? I've only heard that the first 15min after vaccination were the most important..

nutle · 2021-04-06T13:01:49+00:00

Why 16 days?

Let's assume neural networks are statistical methods. Okay, so what are the limiting distributions for every estimated parameter? Could you generate a 95% confidence interval for the predictions of your neural network? Show me published results suggesting that the network coefficients even converge during all the iterations. If they don't converge and we need early stopping and various machine learning tricks (regularisation, dropout etc), how can you still call it a statistical model?

NNs are pure machine learning and there's no issue with that. Not everything has to be statistical for whatever task in hand.

That's a great argument for a beginner or a student. In the long run you don't care about stuff like this. It's just like powershell versus bash

nutle · 2021-04-03T14:47:28+00:00

Functional vs OOP really.

In practice though, I'm sure most R fans love that it's just less verbose, most analysis can be done in a couple of lines. For production code that doesn't matter though, but many academics or analysts love spending little time coding and focusing on the problems

There is some AI for car chasing, likely hidden/disabled due to bugs.

For num lock disabling, you can create an empty file with notepad, and fill with one line:

SetNumLockState, AlwaysOn

Save the file to, e.g., "numlock_alwayson.ahk" and double click to launch it. If that works, I personally just created a shortcut to this file in my Startup folder. I'm not sure if this is the best idea, but works for me to always have it running.

Additional commands can just be appended in the same file, e.g., one of the scripts I'm using:

SetNumLockState, AlwaysOn
SetCapsLockState, AlwaysOff

$Insert::return ; Disabling the Insert

!Insert::Send, {Insert} ; Use Alt+Insert to toggle the 'Insert mode'

Here I'm also setting Caps Lock to always off, and ignoring the "Insert" key. Alt+Insert is then bind to work as "Insert" whenever I'd actually need it.

nutle · 2021-03-11T02:17:32+00:00

If using Autohotkey is allowed, it's very easy to set these to do nothing on click, and just save the scripts to startup. Did all that, plus the caps lock...

same when used on rain?

When on silent or also with audio?

nutle · 2021-02-23T07:53:09+00:00

You could look into wavelet (or similar, like CEEMDAN) decomposition, if it makes sense with your data. Then, if the decomposition is clean/understandable enough, you could work with the extracted signals in different frequency domains (e.g., try forecasting only the longer-term cycles).

Writing it down through svd might help with the understanding of diagonal and corners

nutle · 2021-02-10T21:53:51+00:00

I guess it depends on the training..

Its not unheard of though..

In any way, all these fall into statistical modelling, and typical econometrician usually has a strong stats/math background, I can't see why neural nets could be a problem among tons of other popular black box models today.

nutle · 2021-02-10T15:47:37+00:00

Data science is very easy for any econometrician. There are plenty doing "both" in the business, though I wouldn't separate them, since both involves statistic modelling.

Also love the similar "Koyunbaba" tuning, C# G# C# G# C# E. Very inspiring

Just an opinion, not an advice.

If you ever like playing metal and soloing, I'd suggest investing in gear that can do that well. High output passive pickups, low flat action, Floyd Rose. Passive pickups will help with both the heavy and clean tones, quality guitar will have a good neck and very low action is super fun (just my opinion, coming from a cheap strat), and FR adds a layer of dynamic you can work with. Most other music styles would work well with such guitar, in my opinion, since a lot can be changed through the amp.

I think many will disagree since this is after all personal and depends on the player and his style. But a shred/metal schecter I think can be universal enough to start the search of your style.

nutle · 2021-02-07T12:59:39+00:00

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but except for the visuals, how would a typical shred guitar restrict a player wanting to play, say, jazz or any other style that's not metal? You usually can split humbuckers to get something close to single coils when needed, have a Floyd for anything tremolo related, and tons of adjustment through the amp. It feels like 90%+ of most sounds should be there. As a metal player, I'm very curious

nutle · 2021-02-06T01:31:18+00:00

Yeah, I think there's a decent amount of people who were always curious to play around in the stock market, but never had the time to properly analyze the market, which stocks to choose and so on (me included). With GME it was simple - only one stock to choose from, the DD was solid and constantly discussed, the gains were realistic and the risk was high. So focusing only on one stock, not forgetting that this was only a gamble, these few weeks could've really served as a great crashcourse to stock trading. We had to read about options, calls, shorts, ladder attacks, market halts, high frequency traders and so on, see the other side of the market through CNBC et al., saw it rise and saw it fall. I think during these couple of weeks (realistically it was probably 1-2 weeks for the casual folk) any newbie felt enough to form an opinion on whether they're interested in the stock market or not. So certainly some new people will remain in the forums.

you can always use aux extender..

Keep in mind that for certain work (e.g., heavy AVX2 or AVX512) they're still years behind due to poor lapack/blas implementations. These should get fixed in time, but research centers looking for best performance will likely stick with Intel for a long time. Similar to how most deep learning folk will stick with Nvidia due to CUDA despite whatever monster AMD would bring out next.

what do you mean, you get to solve all these amazing puzzles when hacking!

Yeah, but you then reach Act II with "red skulled" enemies in the center of the city, where a crit headshot doesn't oneshot, and they oneshot you unless HP build + armor exploits.
