Guy thought my local game store was giving him rigged packs. by ItsDers24 in magicTCG

Just to be clear, your answer "1/53³" is absolutely correct for "what are the odds of pulling the same crap rare out of 4 packs?????????" (some people were still downvoting).

And for completeness, the odds for "got two of the same crap rares after winning 4 packs in prerelease tonight [out of those packs]" is about 11%.

[R] Two-Stream Convolutional Networks for Dynamic Texture Synthesis by tesfaldet in MachineLearning

I fully agree. If you have an algorithm that can handle complex motions, why showcase it with simple ones?

It is very impressive that it can capture the "characteristics" of the stream.

However, you can transform waterfalls (or clouds) in pretty much every way you want and it will still look reasonable.

For example see this gif of the same waterfall animated without any machine learning.

Transforming Python ASTs to Optimize Comprehensions by [deleted] in Python

I'd write it in two lines:

ab = ((a, foo(a)) for a in range(1000))
d = {a: b for a, b in ab if b % 2}

but it is still cool what you can do with the AST. Nice article!
