Generalization is standard lingo in machine learning – it's about going from known data (training set / test set) to new data which shares the same underlying patterns but wasn't available at learning time. Taking the…
Did you read the article ? They were severely understaffed, and essentially were forced to do a half-assed job because of a storm. Reading the article, it feels as if they didn't even know if the explosives were going…
Fun fact: my (french) company audited the french navy and found out they share important nuclear submarine maintenance data as excel files through email.
I have to confirm this as a nerdy french person: I don't like sports and it always felt awkward because it's not something I enjoy, people keep asking for it and it makes me uncomfortable. I tried hard to fit in though:…
To be very honest I'm tempted to downvote this , not because I would disagree if this was the topic at hand, but because it seems like a deranged rant that's very loosely related to the comment it's replying.
I believe when they say the squatters have a "right to housing" it means "right to use a unit of housing that's not theirs as if they paid for it", which essentially means doing what you suggest would be illegal. The…
This seems to be a copy/rewrite or the 3b1b commencement speech ? [0] [0]: https://youtu.be/W3I3kAg2J7w?si=7_4z-W5PmnBo302e
That's a great catch ! Thanks for this. For anyone wondering, 25 years is pretty common as a baseline for PV [1] but a good amount of them should be able to go for longer, say at least 30 years. As a comparison, the…
More details: You need practicing, so you need experiments/computers/supplies/projects — this is true both in engineering and art school, any time you do anything that's not completely pen and paper. You also need to…
I'm using french costs, these are paid 90% by the government ! The underlying issue does not disappear.
I've got a weird relationship with market socialists because I generally think they're much more sensible and convincing than the average "destroy evil and create utopia" socialists, but ultimately it's hard to…
Even if you dislike markets as a mechanism, education is very tricky because it's very very expensive, and prone to important moral hazards when it's free. Think your passion is economics or psychology and drop out…
My guess is they're talking about regional monopolies ? There's generally a misunderstanding from left wing voters — when people say "markets" they understand "crony capitalism and monopolies with regulatory capture"…
OMZ is definitely super slow, but there are a few competitors trying to speed start times up, with nice results (50% to 80% reduction). For style just use starship.rs
It's funny because I just got out of a professional training session where the instructor told us sale-leaseback agreements are a common business practice and helped a few companies he worked for secure long term…
31k citations, h-index of 81 [0] Cambridge professor & seems to have very serious experience in building models of climate variation across time. He recently published a pretty alarming finding about extreme weather…
Honestly with the amount of degrowth friendly opinion pieces nature published in the last 2 years, I'm surprised they take the complete opposite approach. They're really trying to open the debate to very broad and…
These two comments are a perfect summary of why I stopped debating politics online with anyone. A good 50% of the online crowd, on both sides (left/right) are *absolutely delusional* when it comes to political…
I work a lot with F500 companies which have been around for decades, and that hurts because it's so true. I hate XLSX with a passion. The main issue is that as a file format it's too heavy, slow, clunky, and does weird…
If I liked playing devil's advocate, I wouldn't be annoyed at your answers. To be honest I started a few years ago interacting with comments I would otherwise ignore because I thought it was harmful to keep yourself in…
The comment I'm replying to is very black-and-white: "X should not exist". My answer is simple: there might be a reason that X exists, although it could take different forms and have different rules and methodology. You…
Every consumer, and every human being in society faces the "exploration-exploitation" dilemma [0] weekly or daily. They've discovered a set of things they like and dislike, either through family, friends, circumstances,…
That was my thought as well, I believe it's close to the "let the data warehouse sort it out" solution: make the current state separate from the "history" - in their example this supposes a data warehouse, but it could…
The main consumer of Huawei is not the privacy-obsessed western HN reader, but a third world customer that has a fairly lower expectation of privacy compared to the average American. Think of cheaper phones in China,…
Yes it's all about tradeoffs, but I think it's useful to accept (e.g.) in the laptop case that having thin and portable devices isn't necessarily a bad thing and it's likely that a good chunk of consumers will want that…
