    I don't think it's a male fantasy. I also don't think it's biological. Just look at how women and men are socialized from a young age. Example: up until recently, many young girls …

    Now, now, I doubt FF has 700! ~= 10^174 CVEs

    The next step up from those CPUs really is going to be dual xeon boxes, which is a huge jump. Intel tried to do enough market segmentation that the curve from a Pentium all the way…

    I wonder when the fixed costs of upgrading will be less than the operating costs of inefficient 15 year old hardware

    Importantly, a very strong communicator of scientific work. His passion shined through in the videos he made, which any non-expert could understand.

    I mean, even the Google style guide says to avoid complicated template metaprogramming, unless necessary

    Just so you know, there are really powerful "classical statistics" classifier models! Like ordered or multinomial logit/probit which you can incorporate latent classes into, etc. R…

    In multiplayer zero sum game, it still works to Nash. Intuitively, in a zero sum game, running CFR on one player will find him best responses for the strategies he's playing agains…

    CFR is based on the method of "regret matching", which is a policy update method. Roughly, it says every iteration, the probability you take an action is equal to the fraction of i…

    Not really, because CFR is not only taking regret as the loss function, but also the method of "regret matching". That is making the mixed strategy probabilities in the next iterat…

    I agree. If you are going to bash C#, call it by its proper name, Java++ That said its still a fine language. Not a fan of the dogmatic OO design concept in Java and C#, but it's p…

    Do you still need the costly intel compiler suite to run some C++ code on it? Honestly they make it pretty hard to hack with as a device. It could succeed as a device if they let d…

    Moreover, most hard problems are simply proven hard because they incorporate a hard problem. Eg. Many proofs that say "this problem is NP-Hard" just prove that "you would have to s…

    Julia is another option. You can even call R and python code from a Julia REPL. You generally want an interactive language, though, because there is an iterative cycle in prototypi…

    See I'm fine with all of what you just said. The problem comes at the next step, "Testable claims are dubious so XYZ." Being skeptical is healthy. Inferring from your skepticism is…

    You can say that objective reality is dubious. But if you use that to subvert claims that survive testing, you're making a positive statement and you need a testable alternative. I…

    There's a difference between the positive (this thing is like that) and the normative (this should be like that). Positive questions are subject to empiricism, period. There is no …

    The problem is that postmodernism tends to make positive claims, but there's no empiricism to back it up. If you're going to say everything is up to interpretation, you're making a…
