mlpack, a C++ machine learning library, includes xeus-cling notebooks directly on their homepage: https://www.mlpack.org/ The xeus-cling work is awesome and has made it possible to…

> This field pushes away the Van Allen Belts, a radiation swim-floaty that surrounds Earth's middle. "swim-floaty"? I get what they are referencing, but can we really not come up w…

> I feel there is a bit of undercurrent of Luddite sentiment going around here. Oh, I'm no Luddite, don't get me wrong---I'm a machine learning researcher. I have no problem with d…

> the real downside of this model: it overfits on regular crying I'm with you there, that's a big downside too, but that's not the "real" downside---there are like seven different …

So, don't get me wrong. This is a fun project and a neat little device. I don't mean to take away from it in any way. However it is really important to consider why baby monitors a…

Similar experience here in Georgia. It sounds like there is more to do on setup morning here, since we had to show up at 5am (and didn't have things really ready until 6:30 or so).…

I would agree that the coronavirus could be a factor here. At the same time, I've been noticing issues since probably December or January (before the coronavirus started being a re…

Yes, and so this is actually a thing that bugs me, because I use Github every day. Over the past several months, there have been numerous days in which I've had problems (`You can …

Is it just me, or has Github's quality of service been continually degrading over the past several months? What is going on internally? Is this because of the Microsoft acquisition…

True, and I think that this makes the statistics somewhat misleading. The Atlanta metro area has a population of roughly 6 million and it's not very centralized.

A couple of thoughts on Minecraft, though note I am not familiar with Education Edition: 1. We played Minecraft with the specific intent of making visually appealing buildings. So …

If we are in the same place, either someone else will roll for him or he'll roll and we'll tell him what he got (and he has little choice but to trust us :)). If we aren't in the s…

Ah, sorry, you are absolutely right. When I said 'no real other option' I was missing the numerous other RPGs that are out there. I did not mean to denigrate them by omission. I me…

My friends and I play D&D because we have no real other option. We used to play Minecraft and other collaborative building games as a group, but then one in our group went fully bl…

The mlpack library ( http://www.mlpack.org ) also has a C++ implementation of Hamerly's algorithm, as well as Elkan's and some other accelerated variants. My experience has been th…

I don't think "emsmallen" can be said reasonably :)

Thank you for saving me from needing to write the exact same thing!

Whoa, hang on a second. SourceForge? Acceptable with new owners? Have you tried to download anything from the site recently? They may not be bundling crapware with downloads anymor…

Armadillo is built on any BLAS you might like to use. (Eigen is a hand-implemented replacement for BLAS, by the way.) So I, too, am interested in what BLAS implementation is used h…

> why not just get a job at Google so you can do that? Don't want to move to California? Can't pass the interview? Salary too low in the offer? There could be lots of reasons. I ag…

> Bigger example is how much they give away in terms of AI/ML. You think they are publishing all these papers and open-sourcing TensorFlow for the good of the community solely? No.…

I have always felt that, in a "typical" open-source project, I could approach the community, join it, build some rapport, and eventually help with the decision-making process (assu…

My opinion is that as long as there exists free ways to connect with people, nobody is going to pay for it. So it's tough for me to see a way to build a business around this; I don…
