@L0laL33tz Same experience. I tried to renew my EU driver's license. The online platform gave me 4 options for creating an account. I picked the ELSTR alternative (not the eID one because I have an older EU ID card with no digital capabilities). I could not log-in as only eID was accepted!

A demonstration of the stack effect in fires

There is difference in indoor-to-outdoor air density, this is because of temperature & moisture differences

The greater the thermal difference and the height of the structure, the greater the upwards force

Still makes me chuckle 😃

In the process of solar radiation creation, mass is converted to energy in accordance with Einstein's Mass–energy equivalence, this means solar mass is constantly lost. The amount of mass the Sun loses every second can be calculated.

L2 (ridge) vs L1 (lasso) are used for the regularization of regression problems. L1 induces a sparsity prior and correctly recovers isolated spikes even with correlated designs. https://t.co/8dXitSEX2C https://t.co/39IJEtbRkO

Behavioral biases. Distribution is pretty normal, but 95 always rounds to 100.

Today's meme of the day since we were sharing the many ways we mentally calculate 17+18. How would YOU mentally calculate 17+18?

Yikes. I don't think it's supposed to be 87 degrees F at that latitude, even in June..

I was reminded* of a figure I often draw for students to explain research:

Good research is often defined by getting stuck for long periods of time, followed by jumps in understanding. What you do during these plateaus in progress is part of what defines you as a researcher.

Basic fact all graphics coders should know:

To uniformly sample points in a disk, you'd think you could just pick a random radius r ∈ [0,1] and a random angle θ ∈ [0,2π] to generate points r (cos θ, sin θ).

This doesn't work!

…But take the square root of r, and it does! 1/3

ML bugs are so much trickier than bugs in traditional software because rather than getting an error, you get degraded performance (and it's not obvious a priori what ideal performance is).

So ML debugging works by continual sanity checking, e.g. comparing to various baselines.
