Conceptually the same thing though. Claude.md is sourced at the beginning of the session, so will be pretty far back in context, just like user prompts from the beginning of the se…

Banned from what?

I think the order of enemy moves is deterministic. So if piece 1 blocks piece 2 from attacking you, piece 2 can attack if 1 moves out of the way.

Why those countries? Does google have weaker internal security for employees in those countries?

A couple of decades ago I was taking a class at UNC on survey sampling methods. Topics included designing sampling schemes that were efficient in the statistical and actual cost se…

The last SE had a smaller screen but the actual device was larger than the last mini (13 mini). Both are discontinued now, sadly. The 16e is the smallest phone in the current lineu…

Scala (and Java) has a typed Dataset api.[0] pyspark only provides the Dataframe API, which is not typed. [0] https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-programming-guide.h...

One, if you mean the directory containing the css files (helpfully called 'css') or two, if you mean one of the files.

Never heard of ibis before but the front page give a pretty good overview of what it is to me at least. Looks like a dataframes api that can be executed on a variety of backend eng…

I don't think GP is suggesting the time was wasted. Rather the opposite.

The article references a tweet about an accelerator pedal problem. It doesn't specifically say what the issue is, but I think it's referring to the issue where the decorative plate…

> Researchers at universities also do these kinds of things because it helps them advance their careers. This is a huge problem and in my opinion is mostly due to bad incentive str…

What is the precise definition of static typing? Both the article and many comments in this thread refer to static typing or static type hints in Python. But as I've always underst…

Multiarmed bandits and contextual bandits are essentially causal inference with a cooler name. You can formulate both with a potential outcomes/couterfactual framework, and context…

I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening? ... Bandits.

Ah! It's only on that post, not the rest of the site. Clever.

Indeed. I just set scrollbars to always show on my Macbook per the author's suggestion and there are 4 scrollbars on their page! Makes me wonder if I'm missing the point of the fai…

This is always true: you're always making some strong assumptions when trying to make a causal claim. Using a causal framework, DAGs in this case, at least makes those assumptions …

Chronology isn't enough though. Roosters crow before dawn.

This is a special case of sampling bias.

What kind of work was it you do? :)

Oops I did not see your response until now. I agree, changing the model changes the estimates, because the parameters you are estimating change. However, given one misspecified mod…

From the semiparametric perspective, you can still make correct inferences about the estimated parameters even if the model is not correctly specified, as long as you use the so-ca…

This is not correct. Logistic regression can be used for classification, true, but it can also be viewed as a way of estimating the conditional mean of an outcome variable that has…
