dy/dx is the same as (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2) as the distance between the two points approaches zero. “dx” and “dy” aren’t very useful measurements on their own though.
Yes, and what is aimed for is separation of variables to find a solution of this differential equation. (The differential operator d should be printed as upright letter btw)
You can't multiply both sides by dx in much the same way you can't differentiate a duck. That said, even pure mathematicians sort of think of it that way as a useful shorthand.
Also, we need barriers related to quality, otherwise you get shit like Andrew Wakefield trying to sell his alternative vaccine, and in the process creating the modern antivax movement
That’s irrelevant. The comment was about the choice of words. It’s simply false to say the mice sacrificed themselves. If anything they were sacrificed by us humans.
Can someone explain this? Integral from 10 to 13 of 2x? It’s been a long time since calculus for me, but isn’t that like 2x² + c or something like that?
Dude on the right is correct that perturbed gradient descent with threshold functions and backprop feedback was implemented before most of us were born.
The current boom is an embarrassingly parallel task meeting an architecture designed to run that kind of task.
I think the usage implies it’s so easy to parallelize that any competent programmer should be embarrassed if they weren’t running it in parallel. Whereas many classes of problems can be extremely complex or impossible to parallelize, and running them sequentially would be perfectly acceptable.

Plus organizations outside of the FAANGs having hit critical mass on data that's actually useful for mass comparison multiple correlation analyses, and data as a service platforms making things seem sexier to management in those organizations.
To stay obvious, what’s fascinating is that those networks are small, its members the most intelligent people available and they meet each other regularly in person at conferences.
They may be intelligent in their fields but that doesn’t mean they think thing through in every aspect of their lives. The status quo is the easiest thing to deal with they can devote more time to their careers/research
Unless their field is in social engineering, then yeah why are they going along with it?
