You want people to look away because it might be baseless accusations based on your baseless accusations? I never go to such crap places as *chan, but I have seen enough Leah drama to know it is absolutely possible the blame is at least 50/50.

How about you do better than what you complain about and add proof? So far the only comment I have seen here that looks like throwing baseless accusations is yours.
It's principle, not principal.
What this mentality engages in is an arms race to a user interface that requires no action from the user whatsoever. Thats the ideal end game here right? You make assumptions from mined user data and do everything for them. Idiot users, despite being a majority, should not sleepwalk every company into conducting as much aggressive surveillance and profiling as possible for "ease of use". Or assume that everyone wants to share their information for ease of use.
I remember we were doing something experiments with electricity and the teacher asked some question. I just answered that it’s a stream of negatively charged particles.

The concept of electrons or charged particles wasn’t introduced yet. So this didn’t make sense to students who learned according to the teacher's plan. I think he wanted us to develop an idea of charge ourselves instead of learning from a book.

(I think this is an outdated way of teaching because students have so much other resources on the internet to learn from.)
From memory, some developers were unhappy with a closed off xfree86 mailing-list related to development, it's slow progress, the coming re-licensing to something ridiculous, like a regression in licensing to include advertising clauses.

I was also elated with the energy behind the new X.org, most xfree86 developers moved with it too, many wonderful changes came out of the separation, and some churn and pain.
> I stopped reading self-published books because the quality was so, so low.

I hate to say this but the assertion on quality is, from my experience, 98-99% true. And yet at the same time 1-2% false.

Finding the quality among the chaff is what sites like Goodreads are supposed to help readers do. My personal view is that the site stopped being that place a long time ago. The gamification required to get a book noticed, reviewed and discussed was, the last time I looked, intense and - frankly - not worth the effort for me. Life is too short!

You just use the "edge" of the light to cut.

If you drag a baseball bat through sand, the edge of the cut "channel" is much sharper and narrower than the baseball bat.

Now offset the baseball bat a bit and draw another line which is partially overlapped over the first one. You will get the intersection of the two baseball bat wide channels, but it will be much narrower.

If you solve f(x) = 0 where f: ℝ^k -> ℝ^k maps vectors to vectors, most schemes are based on Taylor expansion around x_n

f(x) = f(x_n) + Df(x_n)(x - x_n) + O(||x - x_n||^2)

Drop the quadratic term, equate to 0, and you get an approximate solution for x for the next iteration x_{n+1}:

x_{n+1} = x_n - Df(x_n)^{-1} * f(x_n)

Like this it's the Newton method. The problem is that the Jacobian Df(x_n) is a matrix of size k x k, and inverting it may require O(k^3) work.

So, pretty much all schemes are based on approximations of the Jacobian.

Gradient descent for example replaces Df(x_n)^{-1} with a scalar a, so it's O(1) work to "compute" it:

x_{n+1} = x_n - a * f(x_n)

A method like L-BFGS tries to build a relatively cheap approximation to the inverse of the Jacobian during iteration, resulting in O(k) work to compute:

x_{n+1} = x_n - P * f(x_n)

Other methods may exploit sparsity of the Jacobian, or solve the linear system Df(x_n)z = f(x_n) only approximately for z using e.g. iterative methods.

Note: in optimization problems, the function f is typically a gradient of a cost function, and the jacobian is then the hessian of that cost function.
Has anyone figured out how to input lists? It shows inputs for selecting the type of each element of a list, but when I select a type like "String" the type input field is empty again. When I do not enter anything, but click the "dropdown arrow" right of the field, the field becomes grayed out and empty again. Not sure how to use this.
This summer I decided to give better another spin.
This summer I decided to give betterc another spin.
None really.

Gradient descent is great because it is first order, thus cheap to compute since you don’t need a Hessian, points to a descent direction, works with anything that is differentiable or piece-wise differentiable without caveats, and given the millions of parameters in today’s there is always a descent direction.

If you do population methods, you suffer in terms of memory because you need to keep all those candidates, evaluate them individually, and then update them. This bounds the memory you can use.

More memory means more parameters, means you enter the interpolation scheme means your model behaves well in real world.

If you try to go with second order optimisation methods then you need to go for Hessian free methods as computing the Hessian is computationally intractable for large NNs.

You can attempt to build a local model of the loss landscape but that is expensive and has many caveats.

Nocedal et al is a recommended read for numerical optimisation theory.
> You can never truly arrive at or trust your own beliefs if you can't completely understand and articulate the best possible case against them. In order to do that, you must put yourself in the position of one who believes the opposite of what you do.

No, "both sidesing" is not at all how philosophers or mathematicians train to establish the truth: they learn to identify overt and hidden assumptions and question the validity of this assumptions.

This might happen when you imagine you truly hold some other position, but it is clear from the structure you describe (mostly unstructured talking to an opponent) that this is incidental learning and not the focus of the exercise.

What you describe is plainly a exercise in rhetoric, the central conceit that one can simply switch positions after a fixed period of debate is clear enough evidence that truth seeking is not the goal.

If I can speak for the word "retard" - in reality it means "delayed" (i.e. fire/flame retardants) which I know comes from the French language verb "Retarder" (delay)(I never dug further to see if it has a latin origin when I was learning French).

On the example it's the typical - the "the early bird catches the worm".. meaning the first to get in the trade, makes the buck, the last one in is stuck with an overpriced stock/instrument which is about to deflate. So.. they got in too late.

The "retard" that (unwise & unkind) people use comes from "developmental retardation" (https://healthquery.net/developmental-retardation.html). And the rest is history...

I am thinking about parallels with software development and whole "agile coaching" industry. Problem is that elite software dev teams happen by accident you cannot make them. Clustering of geniuses might seem like it could not be random but so is throwing tails 50x in a row which is perfectly valid random outcome which author don't want to admit and thinks random outcomes don't have clusters.

It is cool to do the analysis but I do not agree that it somehow is important question to spend too much time on it because there is no realistic solution that we can mechanistically apply to produce genius clusters. Just like mechanistically applied agile creates more problems than solves and is not delivering "elite teams" but mostly is used to push underachievers into worse problems where overachievers simply hop jobs for better pay.

A lot of people don't realize this but... Einsteins final equation in special relativity was already known and reported. What Einstein did there, most likely with much help from his wife, was rephrase the math. General relativity, again, likely with a lot of his wife's help was genius in the sense that the derivation was intense and a work of art.

Einsteins brilliance was his intuition and his relentless approach to problem solving. He KNEW the answer without doing the math. Keep that in mind. All things almost no one values today... People think that Wolfram alpha makes them a world class quantum phycisist, chatgpt makes them a theorist, and python packages make them avante garde tool builders or seasoned analysts.

We're giving up on intuition as a society so people can raise their egos and toss experience to the wolves, because it feels powerful. Meanwhile I've met machine shop geniuses, with GEDs who can outwit Ph.Ds in their own field...

You're right, my comment reads like I was stating merely my taste from your perspective and mine. My mistake. To clarify, I don't buy subjectivism and believe that there's an universal one moral truth independent of human minds. I believe this truth says humans ought not live in a technological world, for that they're not designed for it, and that one who have successfully (!) adapted to technological life as to not feel any distress and even enjoy it must be one with a malformed psyche, one far from his original nature and thus morally bad.

Indeed from your perspective this is still merely my "taste", my point is that this is truth independent of my existence from mine and apparently many agree.

The way I see it is there's office drama just like this, difference is that open source is transparent for everyone to see, and global. It's like a global office that we all get glimpses into.

And in this particular case, it reminds me of Red Hat and CentOS actually. Because one project just wants to ensure that people who download <name brand> are actually getting <name brand> and not something else. That concern is just as valid in open source as it is in big enterprise.

> Apple can't increase the price of their product arbitrarily.

Not arbitrarily, but IIRC Apple's profit margin on iPhones is over 100% - the iPhone 14 Pro max is supposed to have a BoM cost of ~470 $ and retails for well over 1000$. That means Apple can both afford the high upfront premium/R&D cost of going to a smaller node and to eat up higher SoC costs and yet still have a profit per unit that would lead most other companies' CFOs to drool.

On top of that, even if the economics should not work out for mobile... a fully spec'd out M2 Ultra Mac Pro runs at ~14.000$, Intel ones IIRC could reach 50.000$. The crowd that pays such absurd prices has zero problems paying a grand or two more for higher performance.
No, I think there is no country in Europe where those devices are legal. It is just difficult to prove, that you where actually using them. They are not illegal to have and I think (haven't checked!!) it is allowed to record your CAN while driving.

I often wonder if someone is whispering in people's ears, to destroy such projects.

For example, a long email history on any of these people(and even if you don't use, people you email do use gmail), from a central store such as gmail, would provide immense insight into personality traits, etc.

Which means external motivaters could be used as handy leavers to drive dissent.

If anything that proves it’s a calibration issue.

The controller on the replacement screen has no calibration whereas the controller from the old screen has been calibrated to the old screen, apparently sufficiently close enough to the necessary calibration of the new screen to not show noticeable issues to most people.

The real test would be grabbing two screens with calibrated controllers and switch the controllers out, then compare accuracy after the swap with accuracy before the swap.

This similar to color calibration on your TV.
Replace the panel of your TV and reset all settings and a good chunk of people is going to notice that the colors are off.
Plugin the color settings used when calibrating the original panel and most people won’t notice it’s off by a little, only trained eyes might notice that it needs further calibrating to perfect the color output.

Another analogy would be new uninflated tires. Put them on your new car and everyone sees there’s something wrong.

Grab inflated tires from your old car and put them on your new car however and most people don’t notice that they need more/less air appropriate for this different make/model/weighted car.

As someone else with an unusually strong sense of smell, I offer my condolences. I'm lucky that I don't really mind the smell of mold, or other natural scents like body odor.

For me the gross smells are artificial fragrances like soap, deodorant, cologne/perfume, and dish soap. I don't love car exhaust. Dish soap especially smells _so gross_. It's just so chemically and strong. I do find dish sponges left out start to smell like mold to the extent that it makes it hard to use. That's why washing dishes is rough, I get mold from the sponge and chemicals from the soap.

I do think though it's just genetic. Also I think dogs don't smell bitter scents as strongly as we do (it's how they can eat feces). So mold might not be as gross for them.
