@freemo Does this apply to sets of percentages that are constrained to 0 <= 1 ? That is, percentages that are never above 100%?

In the US it's called "wind chill", how cold the air feels on the skin. It's may be called something different where you are. The formulae for calculating it also vary.
The same effect also applies to buildings - they're harder to keep warm when it's windy.

The truth is...

It's unknown whether the naked mole-rat can pass the mirror test because no ethics committee will approve the experiment due to the potential for psychological #trauma to the test subjects.

Unnecessary dependencies are how developers re-toot each other's toots. (And including packages in their repositories is how they follow each other.)

That should be #Rebka, not #bebka. Cognitive typo.

Here's a video of Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi discussing the intricacies of the 25th Amendment, impeachment and the presidential line of succession.

@lhackworth I don't know anything about neural nets, but your thumbnail on ML is perfect -- instead of the usual process of supplying an input to a known function to produce an output, you flip it around and get machine to produce the function. Cool.

@lhackworth Photos can get super-weird using multi-passes thru neural nets. Have you ever seen DeepDream? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCE-QeDfXtA
