Exactly, but why do so many people seem to have a problem with this? Sounds like a political problem to me instead of a scientific one.

The problem with preconceptions about your parameters is that you might be missing some crazy cool path to your goal, which you might find by randomly exploring your sample space. I remember seeing this same principle in mcmc samplers using

Great advice! Where do you see more opportunities in the near future, ML?

I've got a set of sand timers (1 to 30 min) to handle such interruptions. Depending on how long it'll take me to finish what I'm working on, I'll just use one of those timers as currency to buy me the couple minutes I ne

Seems like a communication issue though, just explain to them how important it is for you to focus uninterrupted and hopefully they'll respect you.

Yeah I forgot this is my workaround whenever I use vim through wsl2 to avoid handling the never ending display issues.

Funny, I use tmux all day long because it allows me to navigate out of vim without a mouse. So far I can handle most of my pane resizing needs with prefix + space bar. Otherwise I'll just launch a new window. Maybe I'm just alle

I've been using nvim for around 5 years for everything I do on a computer other than web browsing. It feels like I'm missing something here, but why would you ever need a mouse within your terminal? I don't recall never ever

I didn't think deeply about this back then since my parameter estimates where close/better than the literature I compared to, but now I'm interested in checking the distribution of those NaN/inf. If I recall correctly

When building a mcmc sampler I was too lazy to properly code a matrix approximation needed to avoid some mathematical black hole and the corresponding underflow. It was cheaper to just ignore the faulty simulations. Turns out our results we

I agree, I rather wake up earlier to work on side projects/study than working late at night. This way it's the job that feels like an extra and not the other way around.

It does though. Once a new money-making strategy is found to work by a market participant, others will try that same path (it's a competition). The fact that so many companies are moving to the subscription model shows that it works be

I agree, isn't it way easier to switch vendors when running on the cloud? I'd say that encourages competition, since we can literally move the infrastructure using keystrokes instead of muscles. This makes me think computer infra

This one is really powerful I agree ! I'm still amazed by the power of being extra nice to rude people. I've found that it also helps to be as explicit as you can when communicating your politeness btw.
