What is the newest installment of 'Random Thoughts' on Physics Forums?

Ox meat may be too tough for Scouse. Maybe that's why it's so cheap?

New cringe: " Project to a higher dimension" (SVMs in ML)

New cringe: " Project to a higher dimension" (SVMs in ML)

You mean, as in $y$ is a higher dimension than $x$ or $z$?

I meant points in dimension n projected into dimension n+k.

 

[Jarvis323]

I meant points in dimension n projected into dimension n+k.

Or sometimes even an infinite dimensional space.

 

[WWGD]

Right. Iirc, some how sets that are not linearly separable in dimension n can be mapped to ( " projected") to higher /inc infinite dimensions so that their images in this higher dimensional space are separable. Don't know if it has to see with Hahn Banach geometric form using convex sets.

This is why people who use ML usually don't even try to understand the underlying theory. You basically have to be a PhD level mathematician.

True, though geometric HB only requires sets A,B be disjoint and convex to be linearly separated. I think this is what is used/assumed.

For some readers, “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” was a disappointment. “[T]his fictional account of the day-by-day life of an English gamekeeper is still of considerable interest to outdoor-minded readers, as it contains many passages on pheasant raising,” wrote a reviewer in Field & Stream, a hunting periodical, in 1959. Unfortunately, “one is obliged to wade through many pages of extraneous material” to get to the passages “on the management of a Midlands shooting estate”.

many pages of extraneous material...

Sounds like my wife trying to tell me what time we need to will leave for a party.

DYK that Murphy's Law can be used to get an advantage?

I have an appointment in the city. If all works fine, it will take 15 minutes. If not, up to 45 minutes. Now the more I pay to lovely Rita, the less waiting time I will have.

Is that IDA in NYC currently (on tv) already?

Rita? Is that a reference to Mambo #5? How about Sandra and the others? I am apparently one of the 5 people who liked the song.

Kind of bizarre when they used music themes from TV shows for a dance party. Try dancing to " I'll be there for you", etc.

The truth is, that I have no idea how that parking fee automates are called in English (parking meter?). The song surrounded this problem.

Yes, when you park you put money in the parking meter. I guess an issue of licensing and royalties?

I get a lot of that too, here in Canada (and not just on PF). Do you get a "Watch on YouTube" link?
Does this version work for you?

Same here, thanks: " Watch in You Tube".

And I thought that was a German thing. I get this "Watch on YouTube" message (which works) for about a month or so now.

I used to do that with ñ , but I realized I can use it just by changing the language settings on my phone. You can probably do the same with your phone settings.
Now I can talk about an actual Piña Colada.

Did my good deed for today. I noticed two dogs that I've seen before with their owner but running free and headed down the street towards a busy road and a freeway beyond that. I managed to get them to follow me and put them in my back yard. Fortunately there was a phone number on their tags and the owner was able to come get them.
