Jasambaon The rituals we perform and the games we play

Agreed, but then that's literature's way of saying anything, the more prolix the better.

Jasambaon The rituals we perform and the games we play

I agree and thank you for the feedback, for its defense, this was barely the first draft and really skims over the thoughts and follows them as they arrive. It is by no means a revised and generalized piece.

Jasambaon The rituals we perform and the games we play

Author here, half an adult i'd say. It was meant to be a stream of consciousness unloading exercise, my first one at that. I have no idea why people are upvoting it.

Sorry, fixed the issue. It's here https://github.com/Jiaconda/Using-Machine-Learning-to-Identi...

Jasambaon What Happens in a Measurement?

They seem intrigued and eager for further investigation from what i see, the paper showed up on my fb feed through a famous senior physicist sharing it and calling it interesting. ;)

Jasambaon Unsupervised Feature Learning and Deep Learning: A Detailed Tutorial (2013)

Aah yes, I was wondering why such a good resource hasn't come to anyone's attention over here yet. Thanks for the link!

Jasambaon Neural Networks and Deep Learning: An Introduction

If you haven't already, you should check out the first and second week of Andrew Ng's Coursera Course on Machine learning. He exclusively talks about gradient descent the first few weeks. https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

Jasambaon Deep Neural Networks for Acoustic Modelling and Speech Recognition [pdf] (2012)

there you go. :)

Jasambaon The Mystery of When to Stop Antidepressants

Just the nagging feeling that this is not really you but a 'drug' induced state. In any case, I'm generally paranoid of medications given the frequency of hidden side effects that aren't revealed/discovered years later and the general evilness of the pharma industry. Down from 100mg to 25mg now, I've constantly been trying to find a way to replace it with more 'natural' things like meditation, reformulation of stressful situations. That being said, the effect of the SSRI's was like day/night for me, and I would recommend anyone who's been suffering for depression to atleast give it a go with the caveats in mind.

Jasambaon DIY Neurostimulation on the rise

Giving instant orgasms to disable an enemy? Well played.

Jasambaon Ask HN: What else do you read as regularly as Hacker News?

MIT Technology Review, and interesting articles from my Facebook feed.

Jasambaon Himalayan villages that grow cannabis

Agreed, I'm not sure I can look at charas the same way again. It's definitely not hygienic, but still better than tobacco imo.

Jasambaon UCI Machine Learning Repository

The sarcasm is strong in this list :]

Jasambaon UCI Machine Learning Repository

Staring out in ML here as well, and glad to know it's the goto place for starters/veterans :)

Jasambaon UCI Machine Learning Repository

I'm getting started in ML and yea it's a great combinations of datasets to play around with! Sad for the weed growers tho :(
