You should also consider whether you need to start another lab.
yes and the lecticae, i believe they were popular in Rome because carriages were not allowed.
not novel enough; the romans did that thousands of years ago

if that were the definition of racism today, 99% of the articles written about it in the past 10 years is false. Racism today is defined by actions, not beliefs.

While the goal is laudable, this is surely racist and sexist. The language-control group wants to avoid the label, because then those weaponized words will lose their impact. It remains racist and sexist for a good purpose.
libertarians leave capitalism intact. You can say that government delegates is "a small number".
trying to vote gives me 404 in 28 languages
Or they could just declare them terrorists, easier imho.
who is this "we" who believes such falsities?
what makes you think they won't nuke those out of existence as soon as they become successful?
By that standard we should have stuck with absolute monarchy. (you might want to think it over. I 'm sure the ancient romans said the same things, as did imperial russia)
It's sad that libertarians / ancaps are bullied out of the real world to do their experiment. These kind of experiments should be done on land.

> via outrage, fake news, etc

Also via politicizing their identity, their gender etc. Taken to the extreme, anything that has emotional impact can manipulate people. Taken to further extreme, such an argument means that democracy is useless and based on very flimsy and wrong assumptions about human nature. But we can be reasonable instead of extreme.

that doesnt explain anything though, it just kicks the can a bit further down. He's not clear whether the problem is facebook, the fact that majority of voters are gullible idiots, or democracy itself?

how dare he
Sarcasm and humor are a big deal. They are active attempts to identify resonance with a crowd and common ground, and can be used to assess if there is a strong cultural basis in a community. In the internet it's become very hard to have cohesive communities, so sarcasm has to be labeled (perhaps hoping that it will help people learn to identify it without labels in the future - in vain, i think).

Nothing spells celebration like the approval of the State and the Law does

I wish facebook could be outright extinguished from the internet. Then a lot of people would realize that those barbarians were a kind of solution.
why do they call it Principal?

it's not common. most businesses do not wait years until they capriciously decide to make money. that's because most businesses are not funded by the silicon valley, it's float or die.

Its a disease caused by the unhealthy VC-funded growth model. When major websites don't care about advertising income, the advertisers are left to become scammier and scammier as smaller websites don't have the power to wield positive change for their users.

While we are at it, which framework is the easiest to tweak at the low-level, e.g. create modified LSTMs etc ?
Re:Backpropagation algorithm visual explanation on Thursday June 28, 2018 @01:47AM (#17414388)
math is generally written left-to-right
Re:Backpropagation algorithm visual explanation on Wednesday June 27, 2018 @10:32AM (#17408411)
E.g. in Feynman diagrams time flows forwards from left to right.
Re:Backpropagation algorithm visual explanation on Wednesday June 27, 2018 @09:30AM (#17407933)
forward and back usually refer to right- and leftwards in 2D so it should probably be drawn left-to-right
