@penilejones @signulll +1 NYC is a pay-to-play city. It lacks ubiquitous pub/park culture of London, plaza culture of Barca, bistro/promenade culture of Paris etc.

Public socialisation, beyond concentrations in a few heavily-shared open spaces, spills over into food - easily handled by NYC incomes.

@MarkSerbu @Rainmaker1973 Energy doesn’t tell you about the time taken. It’s just a conserved quantity (assuming no friction). An object in freefall vs a gentle slope, same height, shows this.

The calculus of variations finds the optimal path given start/end points e.g the brachistochrone problem

@kareem_carr I prefer this explanation which decouples Bayesian Inference from simply applying Baye's theorem.

@jonaslindeloev @jonatanpallesen @fat_chonker In the spirit of learning, what was the TLDR of the correction errors?

@colin_fraser Solid thread. I think FPR/FNR, not Precision/Recall, should be "the same" (1-X) as Specificity/Sensitivity.

I love the interactive at the bottom of this to see the dependence of the FDR on prevalence.

With Casual Conversations v2, @MetaAI has adopted the Monk Skin Tone Scale for labeling skin tone in their data set.

Very nice to see @MetaAI take this step and join @GoogleAI in adopting more inclusive ways of handling skin tone in AI.

Soundcloud is solving a knapsack problem and hiding mixes that bump me over the 180min free tier. Over to Mixcloud.

30 Tracks. 70 mins. Largely disco House laced w/ 90s House and a dash of sth sth. Over-engineered in Ableton, as proof of concept.

[Jordan Ryda @jryda__]

Some things I learned in the process:

- Default warp mode is not what you want in Ableton. Use "Complex"
- Ableton is only good at identifying BPMs ~70% of the time
- There's this thing called Camelot numbers which aren't hard n fast but helpful
