I'd guess it would be a subset of the set of isomorphisms that fixes a certain subset of the graph. But maybe I'm wrong.

I don't disagree that working straight from the graph-theoretic definition might make things harder. My complaint is that maths is taught as formal definition -> theorems. What I would like to see is intuitive definition -> formal abstraction of intuition -> theorms.

In my maths degree I spent far too long asking myself why is the definition of this thing this way?
In every case where it was the victim's word against the accused the court almost always used to side with whoever has more power in society.

White woman accuses black man -> accused is guilty.

rich woman accuses poor man -> accused is guilty

black woman accuses white man ->accused is not guilty

poor woman accuses rich man -> accused is not guilty

It's still that way, sometimes. The difference is now is that "who has more power" suddenly varies a ton based on who's making the decision and the political optics of the situation. So some people on wall street (statistically richer and whiter than average) are scared (rationally or not, you decide) that they're now potentially vulnerable to false accusation when they were previously insulated to some degree by being (mostly) rich and white.

1. The strawman proposal.

Suppose a decision needs to be made, and it might not be clear which option is best, due to limited information, trade-offs, different preferences, etc. Solutions A, B, and C are possible. You schedule a meeting, and a lot of time is used up going around in circles because there is no compelling reason why one is better than another.

The hack is to tweak how the meeting agenda is framed. The agenda is no longer to pick a solution. Instead, you pre-select one somewhat arbitrarily, and you call it the strawman proposal. The meeting agenda becomes unseating it with a better one.

Maybe you start with A and everyone quickly agrees that B is better. From there, you can't decide whether or not C is better than B, but people walk away with a feeling that voices were heard and there is some rationality to how the decision was made. Or maybe you start with A and nobody can convince anybody that B or C is necessarily better. People walk away with acceptance of the idea that it's somewhat arbitrary and further discussion would have no benefit.

In either case, it's easier to achieve consensus about whether you have unseated a proposal than it is to achieve consensus about converging on one.

I definitely don't recommend using this to sneak through your personal favorite option unless you want to burn through goodwill.

2. Consider doing your most dreaded to-do item first.

The obvious way to decide which task to tackle next is to do it based on importance. Instead, sometimes it's useful to do the scariest or most unpleasant one first.

The stress of knowing it's still on there can distract you and make you less productive while you work on the other things. By the same token, once you have faced it, you will feel energized, which will probably translate to increased productivity in other things.

Also, if the task is so dreaded that you have some doubt whether you'll do it at all, leaving it to linger can create feelings of guilt or discouragement. Even if there are legitimate reasons it shouldn't be the very first thing you do, it's too easy to feel you're doing it later because you aren't ready to face it.

Obviously you can take this too far. Don't make your to-do list entirely about catering to your emotional state. Being able to put aside worry is also a good thing.

3. With habits that require discipline, define success as being committed to getting back on the horse.

You want to stick to an exercise plan, floss your teeth, be more considerate, etc. So you start doing it but then you get out of the habit. Now you feel like you've failed because your goal was to do X every day but you didn't.

So instead, make doing X every day one of your goals, but don't consider it true failure if you don't achieve it. It should be a very high priority, of course, but the only actual failure is wavering in your commitment to start up X again if you get out of the habit.

Very cool idea. Something I would enjoy using is a shorthand syntax for validation rule object declarations eg:

new Validator = ({
age: 'int 22-48'
});

If memory serves you can parse that type of string in the Validator constructor and insert the Rule structures you already have in place of it.

So, I know a whole bunch of ML types who make this argument. Is this something that neurologists think?

It's a simulator not an emulator. They're two different things. This is the former.
Yes it is. Having a bigger model state makes it more complex. It doesn’t make it not statistics.
There's a middle ground there. Cutting back on the number of new opiod prescriptions is definitely a good thing, but you've got to be careful of how you handle existing patients who have already been pulled into the problem.

From a harm reduction perspective, taking a patient who is, say, addicted to legal oxycodone because they were overprescribed it. Now what do you do from the perspective of what's best for the patient? Is it a good thing that they're addicted to it? No... but is it more harmful to cut them off cold-turkey? Or is it better to help work with them to figure out how to get off it in a way that doesn't result in them seeking out street drugs to handle the withdrawal?

Same here. You are talking about a real problem. You are suggesting solutions that hurt everyone involved and then acting like if someone doesn't agree with you they are denying the problem.

I'm not denying the problem. I pointed out issue with an applied solution and instead of addressing them, you bring up the problem the issues were supposed to address, while ignoring the point.

The Importance of Simulation in the Age of Deep Learning
The problem here is the initial opioid crisis hardly involved China at all. Instead it largely involved US pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma's over-aggressive promotion of Oxycontin. China and fentanyl only came into the picture later.

Fentanyl is a significant issue and discussing what China intends to do about fentanyl certainly is warranted (seems like discussions are underway to schedule it in China -- https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/01/politics/fentanyl-us-china-g2... ). But one compound isn't the full problem here.

I work at Microsoft Research with the SEAL team on applications for Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Batched integer FHE schemes are great for machine learning. The regular data access patterns in neural networks make using the batching easy and the rather "wide" computations lead to good encryption parameters. Also a new scheme, CKKS, gives the ability to divide by certain plaintext constants, which helps control scaling in fixed point representations. This comes in exchange for results being approximate, which is not a problem in machine learning.

Currently what FHE needs is better toolchain support. Selecting encodings and encryption parameters is hard, but a lot can be done with good language support and tooling. We're presenting some of our work on automatically selecting good data layouts for NNs on FHE at the PPML workshop in NIPS next weekend [1].

All that hassle just for them to opensource it in the end. Yay bureaucracy! By the way good work on that game. I thoroughly enjoyed it when it came out.
I think it's really just time to shift the knob on the "for a limited time" part of the copyright/patent systems. It's obviously been extended too far, and applied too broadly.
> 80-120g protein as a minimum. That's a fair amount, and far more than you're likely to get from vegetarian sources at the time alone.

The article says legionnaires and gladiators were eating 5000-6000 calories daily, with 78% from primarily wheat and barley. An average ancient whole wheat would probably be somewhere near 15% protein by weight. Daily consumption of those grains even on the low end of their estimates would contain well over 100g of protein.
So your next phone is going to be a non-iPhone if they don't improve "Hey Siri"?

I understand that you would like "Hey Siri" to be better. What is not clear to me is how you think Echo Dots are a "competitor" to your phone. Echo Dots are purpose-built Home Assistant hardware. Just like the HomePod. No phone is going to perform nearly as well as a purpose-built home assistant -- it's a hardware limitation. No matter how many mics you put in any phone, the far-field performance is not going to be great. It's like you want your sedan to be just as good at carry heavy loads as your pickup truck. That's ridiculous. And as far as Home Assistants go, the HomePod's mic/noise setup is hands down the best.

So if you find yourself constantly asking questions of your phone while its sat down in your living room or kitchen or bedroom or wherever it is you're setting timers and playing music (I'm going to bet it's the kitchen), buy a HomePod for your kitchen. That is the solution to your problem.

Or you could get Google Home products. They are also better than the Echo line. Sounds to me like you're just disappointed you bought the worst Home Assistant products on the market.

full disclosure that I work for nvidia, but not on drivers. many driver devs internally do actually contribute to nouveau as well. please don't make baseless claims simply because you're angry.
There is a difference between 'can' and "is the central question". As I said in my comment [0], traditionally statistics is about making claims about the nature of the population from a sample. If one is operating with a parametric model, the running assumption is that one knows absolutely everything about the population except for a few parameters. Those are estimated from the data. One you have done that, one can indeed use those to do prediction and if you were lucky that the data did come from the distribution assumed, then you wont do too badly, otherwise you could perform very poorly.

ML on the other hand short circuits the step of making any claims about, or even trying to understand the population. ML straight away jumps to claims about prediction quality. Note there is non-parametric statistics, but even there (barring edge cases) the central object of inquiry is the population. There is also prequential statistics that also jumps directly to claims about prediction without making any claims about understanding the population. Prequential stats is fascinating, and it is what is closes to ML in spirit.

You're using a definition of "vegetarian" that is not standard in the US (and, I'm guessing, Europe). Vegetarian = foods other than animal flesh. Vegan = plant based foods only.
Given the reference to Barley as specifically a significant portion of the diet as part of that 78%, why do you think that Beans/grains would be excluded in that number?

> Classical statistics is very much focused on explaining a dataset, whereas ML is very much focused on making future predictions.

True enough. Could you slightly change this and say statistics is about understanding the past and ML is about predicting the future? The only way to predict the future is to understand the past, or be very lucky.
Isn't that the point of Tumblr these days? I honestly don't know of any non-adult Tumlbr pages. It seems to consist entirely of premium camgirl pages, NSFW LGBT discussion, furry and hentai art, and artistic nude photography.
I think if you've lived a few centuries, you might've picked up the skills, experience and connections required to make it work. There are already plenty of regular people living with false identities, so you wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb. Plastic surgery solves the rest.

Reddit?
I really wish someone would create a series of problem sets based on math.stackexchange. Many problems have multiple solutions and useful discussion in comments as well. The challenge is to curate their content.

Ideally such problem sets would accompany a specific textbook. It’s seems like such a simple idea that somebody should have done it already but I wasn’t able to find anything.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if people were just downvoting the comment as a joke.
I believe I understand what you're saying. I'm curious though, how would that correlate with loneliness?

Loneliness arises from the gap between one's desired connections vs one's actual connections.

It is true that social class is a barrier and less mixing leads to less dynamism in society. This is a themed explored in Tyler Cowen's "The Complacent Class". But it seems to me that does not in itself produce loneliness, because there's still a tremendous number of connections made within the same social classes. My working class friends are the least lonely people I know. They seem to have tons of buddies and tend not to be that selective when it comes to making friends. But except in specific instances, they have no explicit desire to make connections across classes.

I see inequality being a problem in general, but just not with respect to the specific topic of loneliness. It seems to me there's something else at play.
