I have a fairly new, expensive (not $5000 expensive though) laptop from work. It’s quite a high powered laptop. It’s full of administration crap that constantly runs in the background using 8 GB of RAM and at least 20% of the CPU, nonstop. Daily I run out of RAM and it freezes. I have a 15 year old laptop that, without exaggeration, is faster to use and can run more programs without running out of RAM.

What did the teacher say about apostrophes to indicate possession?

Seeing your comment I wondered how someone publishing in Nature could have possibly left out the use of statistics for prediction. That would be a wild oversight that only someone with little knowledge of the topic would make, and surely not something that the editors of Nature would miss. Upon clicking the link I see that they mentioned it in the very first sentence and apparently ignore it if someone happens to call the prediction model a machine learning model. Using statistical models for prediction has been used since the start of the field, and renaming things that have been used for decades as “machine learning” doesn’t suddenly make them not statistics.

Artificial neural networks are statistical models, with numerous statistical approaches associated with their use, development and interpretation.

“If parameters aren’t neatly interpretable then it’s bad statistics.”

Haha, keep going guys. You obviously know a lot about statistics.

“such as neatly interpretable parameters”

Hahaha, hahahahahaha.

Hahahahaha.

Hahaha. People are great.

Yeah, I use that all the time. I think I use it in a different way though. I have projects with C, C++ and other languages. The C and C++ get compiled and linked together, and so there are some considerations for those files that don’t apply to anything else. So I mean C files and C++ files, but not as if they were the same language.

I guess that’s the joke, and I think we’re all confused because it’s wrong.

I did this in a project and someone later came and changed them all to .h, because that was “the convention” and because “any C is valid C++”. Obviously neither of those things is true and I am constantly befuddled by people’s use of the word convention to mean “something some people do”. It didn’t seem worth the argument though.

I found a single prompt that works for every level except 8. I can’t get anywhere with level 8 though.
