If I had to guess I'd say it's because fundamentally Facebook development is about deploying servers.

As you move through the main branch, at any commit, you should have something that you can deploy. The moment you split the repo you lose this, and need to worry about keeping multiple repos aligned.

5 more years and then run for president after that.

Yeah, but a combination of this approach, and adding all compiled file types including .pyc to .gitignore would fix it.

You don't need to bribe a judge.

You need enough money to have a team of lawyers grind through the evidence and find what's been hidden.

Compare this to having a public defender with limited resources. They basically have to trust the DA's office.

What's depressing about this is the DA's office is so used to getting away with this shady shit, that they can't do their job properly even when they know they're under a higher level of scrutiny. Think of all the average Joes that have been fucked over by these guys.

Rich persons justice isn't really about bribing your way out of things. It's about having enough resources that you can force the system to behave, for you, in the way that it's meant to.

This is instead of the usual process that just steamrolls over every poor bastard that ends up in court.

It also makes the existing voter suppression much more effective.

"Oh sorry, none of the black districts have enough staff to run all the polling stations. I guess you'll have to travel an hour and then queue outdoors for four hours if you want to vote.

Yes, it is illegal for anyone to bring you water, we don't want them to influence your vote, do we?"

I'm not describing binary classification, I'm describing multiclass. "Group classification" isn't really a thing. Yes, your ml system probably guesses what kind of plant it is and then looks up the ediblity of components.

The problem with this is how they will handle rare plants that aren't in the dataset, or that are in the dataset but with insufficient data to be recognised.

Because multiclass assumes that it's seen representative data on all possible outputs (e.g. plant types) it will tend to be dangerously confident on plant types it hasn't seen before.

This is because it can rule out other classes. E.g. if you're trying to classify as rose, tulip, or daisy and you get a bramble, your classifier is likely to be very certain it's a rose because tulips and daisies don't have thorns. So your softmax score is likely to show heavy confidence in rose even though it's actually none of them.

This is exactly what can go wrong when you try to use the softmax/standard multiclass approach and come across an interesting rare mushroom or wild carrot. You don't want it to guess which type of plant in the database it's most like, even if this guess comes with scores, you want it to say that it genuinely doesn't know and you shouldn't eat it.

The key issue here is that 'level of certainty' doesn't really mean what you would like it to.

You get back a number yes, but it can change according to what's visible in the background, the angle that the plants at, how close is it to the camera, and how nice the camera is you're using (professional photographers use expensive cameras and take shots of different things to everyone else).

Interpreting this score as "how safe is it to eat the plant" is a really bad idea. You will still eat the wrong plant. These scores can lead to very confident random guessing when you show it a plant it's never seen before.

And no, softmax is a trick for making the scores all sum to one, so you get back a confidence for every possible thing the image could be of.

Thank you!

Mostly because of her overwhelming sense of entitlement.

In her head, it's her seat, and she deserves to be elected with a giant majority regardless of how useless she actually is.

Unofficial/self diagnosis helped me in my personal relationships.

I mentioned to my partner that a doctor friend thought I had ADHD, and it really helped them not take some of my most annoying traits personally.

I get where you're coming from with needing an official diagnosis for work accommodations, but none of your friends are really going to demand to see a doctor's note, so why would personal relationships depend on an official diagnosis?

It's all just the new testament. Before you fuck with poor people and nail them to a cross, make sure they aren't just slumming it, and actually have a very powerful father.

I mean it's worth remembering that some of the poorest areas in the country are in London. https://citymonitor.ai/community/uk-census-tower-hamlets-has-the-worst-child-poverty-rates-in-the-uk

Basically, the government doesn't give a shit about poor people regardless of where they live. They just want to ensure that hedge fund managers living in Surrey can commute into their London office with a minimum of inconvenience.
