But Python is strongly typed. If you say x=2, type(x) will say “int”. It does suffer from an excessive overloading of operators (“a” times 6 shouldn’t work). But that’s neither here nor there. If Python wasn’t strongly typed, it wouldn’t be

This is the case in my marriage, but not in my parents’. They are musicians, artists, perform together and/or take active stakes in each other’s careers. They weren’t sexual as I was growing up (I’m not giving intimate details here) bu

I use Python to generate DPLL and likewise with MiniZinc. It’s no different from SQL: there’s something of an impedance mismatch that’s already felt in eg Sympy.

I judge laureates by their published Nobel lectures. There’s a footnote in Heckman’s that pretty much renders Duflo’s work invalid.

We pretty much did binary search to find my lithium levels. The lethal concentration of lithium is very close to the therapeutic range, but we couldn’t afford to spend long on low doses (since you have to take blood tests to assess effectiv

My dad used to take warfarin too and keep a very steady diet of dark leafy greens (his poison of choice he wouldn’t give up). There are meds now that are less dependent on food, your grandviejo may want to ask about.

I’m paid to manage a penguin farm. Weak penguins need additional feeding. Thin penguins are just thin. But there’s no objective criteria to tell weak from thin. And I have a budget. Now, my penguins happen to have owners . But they don’t p

I have pretty sharp productivity/energy/focus fluctuations and often achieve more by waiting for the “inspiration” (so to speak) to come and do tasks quickly than by slogging through low times. But they’re pretty sharp: sometimes

You’re not wrong. OTOH the other day I heard someone in the Netflix doc about Alberto Nisman’s murder that described a terrorist network as a “matrix”. I grumped as card-carrying pedants are duty-bound to, but then realized that if there’s

The examples I have seen tease but are not fully clear on how far GPT-3 can go on tasks that are not in principle text generation tasks. For example I’ve seen the translation to HTML code demo. Of course, LSTMs already generate quasi compil

I’m using lattice (line) diagrams to understand intersection concepts like this. They’re easy to generate from cross tables using FCA tools such as the “concepts” Python available in pip.

I also learned to read early enough that I have no memory of it, and I’m told I started picking up signs on the street, adverts on the subway etc. I see most children drowning in colorful stimuli and toys. But what did it for me apparently

There’s an episode of “Star Trek: the Next Generation” where Scotty, the engineer from the original Shatner Star Trek tells the next-century engineer LaForge that this is how it’s done. You never tell the captain all that you have so you ke

This is true, but isn’t “it”. If ten boxes fall at random from an Amazon Prime truck and you estimate a mean value of the parcels per m^3, you can extrapolate that the total value of the loot in the truck.
