    The article doesn't mention two great features on iOS: - Move cursor by tap-and-hold on soace bar - tap-tap for word selection and tap-tap-tap for sentence selection. I use these t…

    Isn't the explanation for this that the world actually does work in some way or other and that it's not just infinite chaos and so if you keep throwing parameters at some problem, …

    The reason you want to over-parameterize your model is that it protects you from "bad bounce" learning trajectories. You effectively spread out your overfitting risk until it's pre…

    If you read between the lines, it's clear that Spotify was able to make a normal watch app. But they wanted to make one that had special functionality not yet allowed by Apple, for…

    But what does 'corresponds more closely to the mathematics' mean? The relevant point is just that the mathematics, alone, doesn't settle the theoretical question. In general, it's …

    I'm no expert, but I think this is a "known bug". Russian oligarchs buying property in London, for instance, is a big reason for that market's insane prices. One 'solution' is prop…

    1. I wouldn't put it in terms of time being "more fundamental than physics". We can mean two things by 'physics': the thing that is the object of study in the Physics department or…
