You replied to a different question, and declared that question nonsense.

My question is: do you use Google?

Do you use Google?

Nuclear power (often avoided for ideological, unscientific reasons) could have a much bigger impact.

From my perspective (user of search engines) I find this business model much more acceptable.

You have mistaken me for someone else.

> he was accused of rape in Sweden

Tell me how being accused of rape makes you a despicable person.

I could accuse you of rape in this moment. Would you instantly become a despicable person?

He is a journalist.

Can we please stop using this talking point about Russia?

WikiLeaks publishes what they get (after verifying credibility). They cannot publish what is not leaked to them.

Also: they did publish things on Russia.

Great article, having used both package managers I can relate. Neither one is perfect, but MacPorts tends to be FAR more reliable.

> MacPorts almost always builds packages from source

That’s a misconception. As of 2019 a properly-configured MacPorts will download almost exclusively binaries.

You’ll get something like 4chan.

Most functions are pathological? Are you serious?

All physics assumes you are dealing with non-pathological functions, except for some really particular cases. You can do nearly everything in Electromagnetism and nearly all Quantum Mechanics with non pathological functions.

Maybe we have a different definition of pathological, I am using it in the way a physicist would use (i.e. continuous, continuous derivatives, so on)

What’s the point of applying deep learning to something for which we have an exact mathematical theory?

You are nitpicking, and completely missing my point. Let me rephrase it.

The original article is about neural networks being able to represent any function (for some definition of any).

I was just pointing out that there exists much cheaper ways of representing any function. Therefore the article seems very unexciting to me.

Btw, you have chose L^2(R) yourself and then used that to show that there are interesting function not in the space you have chosen, quite a circular argument.

Since the article on neural networks never mentions functions defined on a infinite domain, one can easily take L^2([0,1]) or L^2([0,Lambda]) up to some cutoff Lambda. I would say that all non-pathological functions you can think of are there!

Yes, I meant basis. My point still stands: so what?

Any orthonormal ~set~ basis of functions can represent any function. So what?

Obvious, as in: obvious hypothesis confirmed by overwhelming experiment evidence.

The fact that there’s a need to restate this obvious point is a signal of the absurd times we live in.

That’s false.

Polls before Brexit where wrong, no reasons to trust them now.

Environmental certifications should include repairability.

Based on the tone of the whole message, what would you guess?

Also, do you think that (given, again, the general tone) that the management would evaluate a low-performing employee in a fair and objective way?

Even asking people to work on weekend without compensation it's illegal in many countries.

As a woman, I can tell I don’t suffer at all from gender roles.

I am completely fine with gendered personal assistants, which was the original topic being discussed.

And I don’t buy all this political crap regarding gender.

Stop using all women to support your political agenda. Stop speaking for the 51%. Not all of us support you, don’t speak for all of us.

How much did it cost to buy the TLD? Looks like a very good investment that will repay itself quite easily.

Are you assuming their gender?

/r/atheism was absolutely obnoxious, to the point that the obnoxiousness of some of the users is still a meme:

As far as I can see in the USA and in most of Europe it’s way more socially acceptable to declare to be atheists, rather than observing Christians.

Remember that Homebrew uses Google Analytics by default unless you explicitly disable it.

Not surprising at all. There's been a lot of pushing against free speech, as well as a redefinition of "free speech" as "free speech only for topics that I do not find controversial", which interestingly matches Stalin's or Mao's or Hitler's definition of free speech.

Remember that Homebrew by default records some of your usage data via Google Analytics. Disable that if you are not comfortable, or switch to MacPorts.

The article is published in Nature, not in Nature Machine Intelligence.

The names may sound similar, but there’s a big, big difference.
