I try not to immediately call BS on these types of studies…but in this case there are some concerns. “The data sets were randomly divided into training (85%) and test (15%) sets. W…

This is a fantastic set of advice that every person earnest to make room for self-improvement in the year ahead should incorporate into their lives at some level

I would have thought the title of the article would have been sufficient to prevent you clicking it in a work context :/

I think I speak for essentially everyone here when I say, "fk this guy's boss". Old mate here in this thread slacks off or 2 days, his boss is already very respectfully thinking of…

The article is hand-wavingly vague — but even if they can intercept, e2e should render it useless. Thus, the implication is that they have some ability to render e2e pointless by b…

This thread is pretty interesting. I’ve had a non-trivial “addiction” to Diet Coke in various times of my life. MDs and Neuroscientists please weigh in! When I put my Bayesian hat …

I mean, hats off to one of the greatest pieces of overengineering (and the documenting thereof) in history. Not only does this ensure a comfortable reclining work position — it ens…
