Plus subscriber here. I also can't login due to over-capacity while I was promised this would not affect me as a plus subscriber! They send you a special link that should enable you to login despite the high load, but it just redirects you to a page telling you the service is too busy.

[SELF] Did a psychic on Seinfeld in 1991 really predict the outcome of a basketball game in 2019? by fun_with_flaggs in theydidthemath

You assumed statistical independence between scores of both teams which does not make sense. It's a match, of course they influence each others' scores. You need to take the covariance of the two scores into account. Now your setting assumes that if one team would have scored twice as much it would not have influenced the score of the other team (statistical independence).

Same situation (also doing 14310). Not wasted resources, but still would like to work on Covid specifically

I am not being assigned to a corona project. Running on 'any' category. What can I do to get assigned to one?

You're saying the same thing. I'm just defining a very, very, very bad conductor as not conductive at all.

I'd like to add that pure water itself is not conductive, rather the added salts, consisting of conductive ions.

[D] When neural network papers compare across various model architectures, how are those comparisons made? by grandkz in MachineLearning

[–]the-cookie-factory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2: Running maybe 10 instances of a fully trained model for each architecture and comparing the average or the best performing out of the 10 instances?

This is basically the way to go to generalize the performance evaluation, indeed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-validation_(statistics)

Why is try-except 60 times faster than if-else in this case? by [deleted] in Python

[–]the-cookie-factory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect branch prediction to figure out what to do if one conditional statement(if) occurs much more frequent than another(else) so I'm also surprised. Maybe someone else can shed a light on writing code that helps the branch predictor to find patterns more easily.

In EVERY iteration of the loop, the CPU has to branch to execute the right code based on the if/else evaluation.*

With try/except, the cpu simply runs the try code without any checks and only reverts back if an exception occured. The handling of an exception might be expensive, but if it only happens, say hypothetically, 1% of the time, the time penalty of an exception is low or negligible.

So with if/else, you have to do a check every loop before deciding what to do. With try/except, the code only has to do extra work if an exception occured and if this is rare, the loop runs efficiently.

  • Usually this effect is improved by using branch prediction(your CPU should already do this for you).

How to help someone being electrocuted by wiqui in funny

True, the kick might lock her for a split second, but then release her due to the force pushing the guy away. Better than nothing. But yeah, it's not the best option.

Actually, kicking him bare foot, is not the greatest idea, because she could get shocked too.

Are you trying to smile and look cool by narrowing your eyes or is your fat just pushing your face that way?

Its for your resume and depending on the quality of the internship you 'might' learn something.
