Deep Dive into K-Means Clustering
Hello,
I started to right some notes about everything I have learned about k-means clustering and I ended up with a quite thorough blog post.
If you are interviewing at the moment make sure to read the typical interview questions about K-means at the end of the article.
feedback are welcomed!
I love this reply. It's really hard to argue against. Every human like to think that we are smarter than others, what WE are doing is not a placebo, that only happens to those other ones, because my experience was real and I felt it.

It is really tough to admit to yourself and others that what your felt wasn't some magical experience, it was just your brain making it up.

I would quote Albus Dumbledore here though:
“Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”
Who are the best Forex trading signal providers?
The ‘best’ forex signals provider is one that:

1) Has transparent results, public, clear - both good and bad.

2) Advise you - with no conflict of interest - on proper risk management and account management.

3) Provides signals that fit in with your trading style.

4) Positive portfolio with a strong win rate

I would recommend TraderStarter.com as one of my beginner telegram signal providers. They are constant in results and their trading methodology is proven successful. Try their premium!

Forex signals are just that - signals. It’s up to you to trade them, and if you do so in a reckless manner, don’t be surprised if you end up losing.
jQuery is "bad" when complexity increases.

jQuery's strength is the CSS selector based approach, where CSS, HTML and JS all "speak the same language", but it also its greatest weakness, your JS code gets too tightly coupled with the structure of the HTML, which makes it harder to refactor.

Good code management can solve this, like using a class or class like construct (e.g. jQuery plugin) to create independent components. But jQuery misses a lot of features to be a truly component based solution. jQuery UI widget is somewhat closer but still missing features like other component based solution has, e.g. no built in template library.

One of the most common things in JS is to attach listeners to HTML elements, however the most common way when doing so in jQuery is that you have a bunch of selectors and then some listener code, but that type of statements is not self explanatory, you have no function name to describe what it is doing or any other context. You see all these registrations of event listeners scattered across the project. What do they do? Are they in use? Hard to tell because searching your source code for a CSS selector is very difficult. That is why jQuery based projects usually have tons of leftover code from the last refactor, no one dares to touch it.

Many component based libraries out there lets you register a method name on the HTML element directly. Much better. If you can't find the method/function name referenced in your code, you can delete it.

It is true that you can add event listeners inline on your HTML element, but that is not how jQeury is usually written, because it is selector based.

I followed the advice of this page http://www.lucidity.com/ which is mostly what other commenters are saying

First step is to get a dream diary next to your bed to write down any dreams before you forget them (note: you forget dreams faster when you move your muscles, so try to write down without moving too much). In the long term, this makes you greatly improve recalling of dreams, which include lucid dreams. see also http://www.lucidity.com/NL11.DreamRecall.html

After that, you need to develop a trigger to distinguish between dreaming and awake states. One idea is to look at a clock, then look away and look back to it - if you're in a dream the display will be completely different each time. You need to repeat this regularly when you are awake - by habit you will repeat this in your dreams too.

Once you successfully discover you're dreaming, don't get too excited! Being to hasty to do stuff in your dreams will most likely make you wake up. You need to appreciate it calmly. see also http://www.lucidity.com/NL7.34.RU.SpinFlowRub.html

Also, the dream maker in your mind will attempt a number of tricks to make you cease the lucid dreaming and get back to regular dreaming, such as false awakening https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_awakening - it seems that the mind is really invested in having dreams where you're not aware you're dreaming, that you forget as soon as you start your day.

Benjamin Graham - Intelligent Investor

It's what got me into fundamental analysis, which after investing for more than a decade had definitely a positive impact on how I allocate money etc.

It isn't a modern book by any means and there might be much better alternatives, but I've started to build some reasoning around assets and get excited about investing.
> Tracking should be STRICTLY illegal

And yet, the opposite is happening. Government agencies are happy to tap into user data. And sometimes it is mandatory to keep data depending on what you are doing and your country legislation.

AFAIK the US is among the countries where you have the least such requirements, but there are still some sectors where logging is mandatory, like financial services. Many other first world countries (never mind dictatorships) require ISPs to keep data for a year or more.
Thanks for the clarification! I am relatively new to python and I thought that I had not noticed this feature :-D
Which would make even more brutally regressive and unfair.
Wasteful things like space programs still result in training and gaining experience. That experience can then be used on more productive activities once they have been discovered.

Human existence is meaningless and thus anything we do is meaningless. However, that also frees us up to do whatever we want since there is no universal authority telling us how to live our lives. Even in the face of an abusive police state we can still decide to resist.

The problem with Bitcoin is that if one were to maximize human potential then Bitcoin would be a really, really low bar. It's basically a premium currency for an MMO, except the MMO doesn't exist and there is no item shop and even the idea of creating such an item shop (think of NFTs) suffers from problems mentioned in the article. You can simply copy digital assets. Ownership over a digital asset doesn't protect it from being copied.
There's definitely a non-zero chance of the Wuhan Institute of Virology being involved somehow, but unless there's actual evidence to support the claim, it's just speculation.

That being said, there's plenty of reasons to keep looking; if nothing else, it would be very nice to have solid evidence of the origin of the virus, regardless if it was from a wild bat or not.
It's an act of protest against what they perceive as "the liberal nanny state". Every mask deliberately unworn is a raised middle finger, a statement of "I refuse to do anything you ask me to do".

It really is childish and contrarian, but that is what politics have become, a black/white view of all issues, with a sports team-level fanaticism to always follow "my team", while demonizing "your team".

And one party in particular has been fanning the flames like crazy.
> Could you find someone to pay you more than $150 an hour to flash a rom?

Possibly. But that will not include installing updates, and it does not include troubleshooting when something breaks down the line.
You're talking about stuff (presumably) happening in the US, but GDPR is an EU law. The regulatory landscape in the EU is rather different. The law also says that fines must be "proportionate". It is not, as a general rule, the goal of courts to bankrupt businesses, but rather to incentivize compliance.
If you are just interested in the software side of things, you don't need any hardware. You can just create a "transmitter" in Matlab that takes in your data, does the signal processing to make the blob you would transmit over RF, and then saves it in a .wav file. Then you could write the "receiver" in Matlab that reverses what you did in the transmitter. This would allow you to get started without buying hardware.

Also, you don't necessarily need to use Matlab. Matlab is just what I used when I did this sort of thing in a lab in college.
[Ancient Aliens] Ah but the cameras and chips are only possible -because- the aliens built the pyramids and inspired humans technologically and a mere 4450 years later, voila! CCDs and computer chips!
Maybe we need a heavy Carbon Tax on Proof of Work cryptocurrencies. Using the energy consumption of Argentina to verify financial transactions does not fit with moving to a Net Zero economy.
Hey, I run Nocode.tech and can probably give some advice here - No perfect answer sadly but a few to try

First, Worth noting you can export Webflow as code and rehost it wherever you like if that’s helpful. BusyWorkHQ hasn’t launched yet I don’t believe, but it’s a backend builder for Webflow and may help you solve your problem by letting you connect a database/api thru to Webflow. @PatrickStolc on Twitter is building it

Have a look at Adalo - They have the ability to replace their backend with an external database (it’s a little bit tucked away but it’s there). The downside is that the front end parts aren’t as freeform as Webflow. They’re more focused on mobile but support web apps too

Coming out of Covid is a chance to radically reimagine our societies
While we tend to perceive the crises and trends of our times as parallel developments, they cannot be meaningfully understood separately. This does not mean that everything is connected. It means that future is not a meaningful place if we approach them as individual crisis to be dealt with so we can return back to normal. This is why we suggest that we see them as one.
Deno does have a local cache for this exact reason.
The NHG only applies to mortgages under a certain value, €325.000. This means that more and more it isn't available as prices go up (though I don't know anything about how or when they adjust that value.)
I haven't read the paper but I'll still be downvoted for this either way so please upvote, but Bitcoin uses a lot of energy that it shouldn't and banks work better and it is just a speculative market which means gambling, and I think it's probably racist. Please remember Bitcoin is bad.

If I was smart I might ask if this paper is relevant within the next 100 year given how Bitcoin works currently, but I'm not :(

Apple stopped using them when Pentium M / Centrino came along because Motorola had no plans to make anything that fast and IBM had no plans to make anything that low power, and PA-SEMI was five years too late and by that time Apple wanted them to design ARM chips.

POWER also has a code size problem -- it's just much larger than x86 and Aarch64 (very similar) or Thumb 2 and RISC-V (also very similar and significantly smaller than the proceeding two).

A couple of decades ago no one thought that was a big problem but now it is, not only because you need a bigger more power-hungry L1 cache, but also instruction fetch bandwidth from L1 is now one of the biggest energy users in a CPU core.
BTC isn't a stable currency in case you haven't noticed. Do you actually have evidence of BTC being used as currency in any of these dysfunctional countries you talk about or is it just a supposition that you're making?

Do you really think this would be in any way different for any western country? Especially given that those labs might not only be doing "influenza research" but research for biological weapons, too.

My point is that pigs would eat me if they could, so there is no mercy to reciprocate by refusing to eat them myself. By contrast, not every human would rape or murder me, in fact very few humans would do, depending on circumstance; so there is good reason not to do those things myself. More to the point, there is no good reason to do those things.

This is not to justify anything; it is to point out that there is no reason not to eat other animals and there are very good reasons to eat them; we are animals, some animals eat other animals and we are that kind of animal- and so there is nothing to justify in the first place.

>> I have yet to see a justification for eating meat better than "I like it, and I can".

And I, in turn, have seen no justification for not eating meat better than "you shouldn't eat meat". Which is, of course, no justification at all.
The politics are they've created a massive, decades long, bubble, and no-one can afford to have it pop during their electoral term for fear of never getting elected again.

Any sources on that? Is this coming from a poll or questionnaire or is it your opinion(because Tesla?)?

It is possible to send a signal weaker than the noise floor. The maximum information you can send is defined by shannon's channel capacity formula, which clearly says a signal can be weaker than the noise.

If you use a self-clocking signal, then effectively the information you are sending consists of both the clock timings and the information you're really trying to send. If your channel capacity is very low, you will find there is no channel capacity for even the clocking information, let alone the information you really want to send.

>having code structured around the shape of tuples returned by functions has an element of pattern-smell (and by pattern I mean design pattern).

This is a near content-less critique, which amounts to:

"shaping code around what's returned by functions looks like a design pattern (and implied: design patterns are bad)"

Well, design patterns are neither bad, nor good. They are what they are: a high level description of common solutions to common problems.

By themselves design patterns are not problems or problematic.

It's applying them where they don't fit the problem - or where something simpler will suffice - that's problematic (common e.g. to J2EE era Java).

Some also say that design problems point to a language deficiency (that is, make up for a lack of language feature, like e.g. closures or dynamic typing).

If we accept the above folk wisdom, built-in pattern matching would be the exact opposite of what you say.

It wouldn't be a "design pattern smell" but rather a first-class feature that frees you from having to workaround its lack with design patterns.

But I'd go further and say that the complain is nonsensical anyway.

What exactly does "having code structured around the shape of tuples returned by function" even mean?

If there's a need to extract values from the results of a function (e.g. in a parser, a protocol handler, etc.) then we don't have alternatives, we will structure our code "around the shapes returned".

The question if whether we will do it through ad-hoc solutions (like chained "if" statements, a series of switch/case, etc.), through some convoluted design pattern like a Visitor, or by first class support for exactly our need. This first class support is exactly what pattern matching syntax offers.

And far from being some smell/Python novelty, it's an old staple found in Haskell, ML, Ocaml, Lisp, and several other places besides...

Incidentally I started paying $5/ month each to two micropayment platforms. The first Coil[1] uses Interledger micropayments protocol, which is cool because it is easy to both monetise your content, and is decentralized in terms of payment providers and receivers. I get payed into an uphold wallet, in Fiat currency. It pays out based on time on page mostly and has Imgur, Newgrounds and Twitch using it, and lots of blogs. Downside is for mobile where you can't run browser plugins you have to use their custom FF fork browser Puma.

The second one Scroll[2] is a centralised one. That has bigger names attached and removes ads from things like The Atlantic and Bloomberg. It shows you a breakdown of where your monthly fee is split.

I love not receiving ads, and I hope that this tech pans out, but I am only doing it as an experiment so far. Personally I would prefer Coil and its underlying protocol to succeed. But it is highly possible these all fail. At least I am avoiding ads, while still funding content. It shows promise.

If Congress can't afford to feed an idle, standing army, maybe they should go home.
It’s more or less the same in Sweden.

Another important difference compared to the US is that in Sweden you are more or less the bank’s serf. In many US states the home itself is the bank’s only collateral, and the homeowner can “walk away” if its value falls below the mortgage. In Sweden the bank can take everything you own, and even extract a share of your future earnings. Also there is no (quick) personal bankruptcy, only a slow process that takes years and where you have to show that you’ve payed as much as you possibly can. This lowers the bank’s risk and brings interest rates down. In Sweden you pay about 1-2% interest on a mortgage. In Denmark I think you can even get zero rate mortgages. This in turn of course incentives borrowing, since many people just look at the monthly cost of a home.
