Just a guess - but perhaps the startup time is before `time` is even imported?

Yes! There have been big improvements since then but they are beyond the scope of the post. I just wanted to reproduce the calculations in the paper using PyTorch.

Bill Benter subsequently replaced the multinomial logit model with a multinomial probit model, which assumes Normally distributed errors rather than errors that follow the Laplace distribution.

It’s a hi-res artwork from Unsplash that I’ve sampled random croppings from.

Sorry - to be clear this is just re-running the model detailed in Bill Benter’s 1995 paper (he uses the time period 1986-1993) on more recent time periods (1996-2003, 2006-2013, 2016-2023) using PyTorch.

Author here - funny to see this posted after a few years. Happy to answer any questions!

Dates are awfully close to ICLR, but I suppose the audiences don’t really overlap.

I'm thinking of improving my Cantonese by reading a 金庸 novel like 倚天屠龍記. Hoping to find an online resource similar to this website that has the traditional Chinese characters, Jyutping romanisation and translation all aligned, along with the spoken audio as well.

For comparison, their external definition of AGI is “a highly autonomous system that outperforms humans at most economically valuable work”.

I’ve read a lot of people griping (quite validly) that Spotify doesn’t distribute each subscriber’s monthly fee according to the streams they listen to that month. Does anyone why they don’t do that? Is it complex artist deals or difficulty in computing attribution at scale?

I get that a locked phone needs to have everything already in memory, but what technical hurdles are stopping Apple from making a locked phone as secure as a rebooted phone?

It was great seeing him on University Challenge last year more than holding his own as team captain on a team of academics and professionals

A parimutuel system would solve this. When settling the bet, the pool of money is divided among those that backed the winning combination, in the ratio they contributed. You can also display the odds based on how much money is behind each combination.

The camera on the new non-Pro iPad has moved from the side to the top though. Not sure why the inconsistency between models.

To have an account with Optus, you need to provide a Primary ID such as an Australian Drivers Licence or current passport. (See: https://www.optus.com.au/for-you/support/answer?id=9438) They probably kept it on file, instead of verifying and discarding, potentially due to regulatory requirement.

Nice puzzle! It would be nice to indicate whether the transition with two conditions is an “or” or “and”.

The article mentions that 24 hours has to pass before being considered a missing person. However, everywhere else mentions this as a myth.

Is the 24-hour rule widely applicable, or is it only specific to the US Army or when using forced entry?

Hong Kong has a lot of beautiful trails. I’m in my mid 30s and decided to hike the MacLehose Trail with a few friends to round out the year in Dec 2020. It’s a 100km trail that runs from the East to the West of Hong Kong and it passes through mountains, lakes, sandy beaches and even a few WW2 tunnels. We split the trail into 4 separate days, so around 25km a day. Some parts were tough, but the experience as a whole was pretty rewarding.

Some projects at Google such as MapReduce, Google File System and TensorFlow were written by Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat while pair programming.
