My advice: 1. Find a therapist. If the first one or two or six don't work, keep looking. 2. Find something you like to do offline - reading, music (listening or playing), dancing, volunteering, whatever. If the first thing or two or si

No, I mean (non-)differentiable, although differentiable non-continuous is also not useful. If you scanned every pixel for every polygon and discretely determined whether it was inside or outside that would be as you describe, but that&#x27

Most rendering pipelines, as they involve discrete operations. For example in mesh rendering, the step of polygon rasterization is typically non-differentiable, because every pixel is either inside some polygon or isn't.

Parent is correct that the definition you gave is indeed broadly the correct definition, i.e. there's no principle difference between calculus "differentiable" and differentiable as in differentiable rendering, except maybe t

Look at past Kaggle competitions with similar characteristics to your problem; many (most?) competitions have threads in the discussion by top ranked participants detailing their approach.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment, but it sounds (to me) like you're putting the onus on the maintainers, as if it's their obligation to contribute to OS and their inability to not be upset stands in the way of performi

Very cool! From the related blog post[0]: * All the animation is done using color palette cycling (which is very impressive!) * The scenes were originally made by Mark J Ferrari and ported by the author as a demo for color cycling in HTML5

Congrats, that sounds awesome (not cynically)! But I think there's a big difference between owning your own business (where you make all the big decisions, you dictate the business values, and are directly responsible for the value you

I was in a similar position, ended up transitioning to machine learning. Very happy with it, but I also echo the sentimemt expressed in other comments that work is work and ultimately fulfillment is better sought outside of the workplace. I

When I'm procrastinating hard on something, my best solution so far is to divide it to lots of tiny action items (~10 minutes each) and commit to doing at least one item every day. Sometimes that's enough to get me in the mood and

Thanks for your reply! I've only seen (and used) this for linear / convex models and constraints, so that's actually linear / convex programming (highly recommend the cvxpy library [0]). I was curious if you've inte

Makes sense, and designing proper constraints is an art on its own. Out of curiosity, did you apply the constraint as a term in the loss or did you use constrained optimization?
