So anyway here's a 7-year-old reddit post with 12 upvotes about higher order moments of statistical distributions that's actually really insightful, even for kurtosis.
@IsabellaGhement@VilgotHuhn@rlmcelreath Sometimes when I have extreme imposter syndrome or worried that I am doing everything wrong I take comfort in the fact that all my peers are also doing everything wrong.
@just_cameron Also gotta point out that the points are just connected...in a creative manner that would make excel blush. Although this doesn't really take away from the main point that there are a lot of papers published in deep learning
Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
"There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
"If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
"Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
