Looking for fictional books
  • PPS, Dr Sex sounds much more scandalous than it is. Its actually Dr Sextus and I dont think he's ever called Dr Sex in the mainstream books iirc. But Muir is the Mother of Memes so I won't say it's beneath her to call him that.

  • Looking for fictional books
  • Holy shit. I just looked up what you're talking about. I didnt even read those. Those are some random side stories. Start with Gideon The Ninth. Excuse me while I read Doctor Sex now :D

  • answer = sum(n) / len(n)
  • Universal function approximation - neural networks.

    Auto-differentiation - algorithmic calculation of partial derivatives (aka gradients)

    Backpropagation - when using a neural network (or most ML algorithms actually), you find the difference between model prediction and original labels. And the difference is sent back as gradients (of the loss function)

    Parameter dimensionality - the “neurons” in the neural network, ie, the weight matrices.

    If thats your argument, its worse than Statistics imo. Atleast statistics have solid theorems and proofs (albeit in very controlled distributions). All DL has right now is a bunch of papers published most often by large tech companies which may/may not work for the problem you’re working on.

    Universal function approximation theorem is pretty dope tho. Im not saying ML isn’t interesting, some part of it is but most of it is meh. It’s fine.

  • What are you reading??
  • I love Vimes so much already!! Im listening to the audiobook of the witch series while gardening and love it too :)

    I prefer reading to listening. But gotta make do when I can't use my hands to read

  • What are you reading??
  • Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!. This is my first Pratchett book and I'm kicking myself for not picking these up sooner, like decades sooner. Like my life would have been different sooner :)
