@rosezeemore I came out 3.5 months after cracking. I started HRT, exactly 1 year after cracking. One of the wild things is looking at my selfies from first time in a dress to the day before I started HRT. It was as big a shift as the first year on HRT after. I got good at presenting.

we did use it when I was at Invenia for test data. And I did (mostly very shortly after starting) make some minor changes to it for Invenia, mostly just to make it support auth'd AWS3 via S3Paths.jl (or anything else that overloads `download`)

@jamimmunology @wanderer_jasnah @o_guest mediocre white men at scale! They have all the over-confidence of a mediocre white man, and air of acceptability, while stile being mediocre. However, society has never been bottlenecked on mediocre white men. This is now something we needed to scale

Fundamentals of Systems Biology (2015) by Markus Covert Equation 6.16 is an implementation of sampling from a categorical variable. Its a medium smart one. But its not the smartest (alias tables are the smartest). I feel like the implementation should have been a sidebar

@Spiindoctor I would lean more towards saying things from the Decision tree family (e.g. Gradient Boosted Trees, random forests) (optionally with PCA) outperform MLP when the amount of data is relatively small vs the complexity of the error surface, for similar engineer effort

I am finally learning how ODE solvers work. Turns out it is not gradient descent, nor is it interior point methods. There goes my two working models.

@evalparse right, but the particular combination of PCA (or other orthanonalization) with decision tree like approches, for axis alignment, rather than for dimensionality reduction, should have a name

It does lose interpretability, but it means your features (once othogonalized) run along the lines that decision trees (etc) can split on

i did it

@cameron_pfiffer it's more accessible to people with fine motor disabilities like arthritis.

wow, imp was removed too. and can't be installed via any package? So tools are just broken?

I was a good girl and generated new SSH key pairs for new laptop rather than copying from old. And I will starting next week void my old key pairs wherever i find them.

@cameron_pfiffer Its legit hard to. Like I been there babe. androgens increase sweat and oil production, and add there own distinct musk to scent. So men's deodorant actually legit works harder. It's why my wife has used it always. There is a lesser and different musk from estrogens, also.
