About not being worried, that someone could read your mail in the case you're dead:

Always bear in mind you're not writing mails to yourself. The other party writing mails with you, might not be that happy with third parties reading their mails. Privacy is not only about you

I'm amused, that sometimes when you begin starting to learn something, you see resources for learning everywhere. (And I just learned it's called Fequency Illusion or baader-meinhof-phenomenon [0])

Thank you so much for publishing this book for free, I'm eager to dive in! Is there any chance you can also link it as ePub?

Into Thin AirPods 3 years ago

At times, it's rather perplexing why certain individuals critique posts as if they shouldn't exist at all. It's akin to telling a dedicated chef to give up cooking because their unique style doesn't match your preferred taste. I found this article to be quite a pleasant read. It echoed emotions that felt familiar, almost like finding a new dish that tickles your taste buds just right. It sprinkled a little bit of unexpected joy onto my day.

Against 3x Speed 5 years ago

I think it's not really about the speed of the information, as long as you are able to process it, but the sheer amount of information. If you use time savings of 50 minutes to just consume more information, not much will settle in your long term memory. But if you process and repeat the information in those "saved" minutes, you'll get away with much more in the end. I think this is more the point of the author's view.

Extreme Ironing 5 years ago

From the German Wiki (roughly translated):

Commercially available irons are used for ironing. In places where no electrical power supply is available or cannot be used due to humidity, the heating plate is heated by auxiliary constructions (mostly gas cookers). For the World Cup, for example, a process was developed in which the iron is heated inside by an exothermic reaction, generated by mixing a hygroscopic chemical pressed into granules with water.

What would be the advantage to train a model on the whole dataset, you would be running it against later? Wouldn't that overfit the network?

And for the cheating part; geoGuessr actually exposes the right answer in their API. You you could just use that to pinpoint the exact location automated.
