I understand all that, which is why I said the industry has room for improvement. What I'm arguing is that they have value -- they save you from taking on what is essentially a part time job that you're going to be bad at, and th

Having a real estate agent as a buyer can be extremely useful. Time savings: they'll actively search out properties that fit your needs, handle negotiations, schedule inspections and work with the city or county, etc. They're als

I'm not sure how that's a big deal for Lyft. It seems like a pretty healthy supply and demand curve -- if the number of drivers drops, it becomes more profitable to be a driver. And there's always people looking for supplem

Are you in a union? Your description sounds very similar to my father's experience in the USPS. If so, are the problems you describe related to the fact that it's a government job, or the fact that it's a union job?

That's noble, but many aren't inclined trade personal profit for the company's profit. I don't think they should be, either. It's the company's job to ensure that their success is aligned with their employees

Ah, thanks. The decibels example makes sense (an alternative would be to take the log first, and then convert it back after averaging?), and I can see how the 0-10 system can also be viewed as categorical rather than discrete.

I've never heard this before, and a skim of the wiki page doesn't mention it as a prerequisite. Mind explaining? The scores are just integers, so the addition is well defined. So you're saying that the context is what&#x27

Great explanation, thanks. And the "distinct eigenvalues" part is obvious in hindsight. For some reason my brain thought that we were adding them, not subtracting.

I got lost in 2.2, I can't work out how applying the transformation leads to the result. Which is frustrating since it's the only non-trivial line in the proof, lol. Also, after applying the transformation, the author states that

Well, all of that is really just Hungarian Notation [0] with typesetting rather than extra characters, so it's not 100% necessary to fully understand -- just look at the definition again. The exception is standard sets, like the Reals

Maybe I'm slow, but I still don't get it. Is he saying that members of the state's church will follow him blindly (making them out to be dumb / sheeple)? Or is he saying that even such a ridiculous sight is less ridicu

Based on the limited amount of information, I'm assuming that by "training explodes" you mean that your gradient descent never reaches a local minimum. Try lowering your learning rate? You may be "stepping over" t

This is a great response! But I think the person you replied to understands all this, and is wondering about the exact method (or a layman's explanation) of the same process in terms of elliptic curve crypto rather than the traditiona

First question: The network is trained to recognize a fixed set of outputs. That's what makes it a classifier -- it classifies an input into a single output. It does this by giving each output possibility a score, and the highest sc

These are called hyper parameters (filters, filter sizes, stride length, pooling function, activation function, and a whole host of others not mentioned in this article). They are chosen "randomly" in the sense that it isn't

Ok. I stared at it long enough, and I think I understand. Being Lipschitz-continuous means (in a non-rigorous way?) that a the gradient / slope of a function has an upper bound. And Hessian-Lipschitz means the same, but for the seco

I'm getting stuck trying to understand the equations in assumptions 1 and 2. Can anyone point me to a resource that explains the idea behind them? Wikipedia is a bit terse, and I'm not having any luck googling for "gradient

Does anyone have insight as to why they're still doing top 5? It seems to me like the error rates have dropped low enough that they could move on to top 3 or even single guess challenges. Is there data that shows how these same model

It's easy to maintain your goal weight if you truly enjoy the lifestyle you've created. Obviously, if you get up one day and say, 'Well I don't actually like going to the gym / tracking calories / etc., so I&#

Why does the article say there are 2^N different possible configurations? Shouldn't it be N! ? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how they can rule out so many different orderings of the "configurations",

Looks great so far! A question, though: why are the group sizes limited to 5 people? Is it an issue with the cross referencing being too strict to find good matches with more people? I would like to have a larger group size, 10 would be

I suppose the author has an interesting point at the core, but the article is way too prejudiced to be taken seriously.
