Or sometimes even an infinite dimensional space.WWGD said:I meant points in dimension n projected into dimension n+k.

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.Jarvis323 said:Or sometimes even an infinite dimensional space.

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.WWGD said:Right.

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.Jarvis323 said: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.

Other people can focus like physicists
The Economist(8/28/21) said: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”.

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.

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.fresh_42 said:DYK that Murphy's Law can be used to get an advantage?

The truth is, that I have no idea how that parking fee automates are called in English (parking meter?). The song surrounded this problem.WWGD said:Not familiar with it. Somehow it seems most music videos posted here are not available.

Yes, when you park you put money in the parking meter. I guess an issue of licensing and royalties?fresh_42 said:The truth is, that I have no idea how that parking fee automates are called in English (parking meter?). The song surrounded this problem.

I get a lot of that too, here in Canada (and not just on PF). Do you get a "Watch on YouTube" link?WWGD said:it seems most music videos posted here are not available.
Does this version work for you?

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

Umlaute / umlauts are easy. If I don't have them on the keyboard, then I copy them from Wikipedia:WWGD said:The message is uglier than writing an umlaut in unicode.

Now I can talk about an actual Piña Colada.
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.WWGD said:Fahrvergnugen? I just wanted to come out with a new saying!

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.

Another show (Burn Notice) where I favored the side-kick (Fiona) over the lead character.WWGD said:Gah! Again: Burn Notice is the name of the show, not Burn Unit! No wonder I get these blank stares when I use the wrong name.
