Python is great, but stuff like this just drives me up the wall (lemmy.world)

Explanation: Python is a programming language. Numpy is a library for python that makes it possible to run large computations much faster than in native python. In order to make that possible, it needs to keep its own set of data types that are different from python’s native datatypes, which means you now have two different...

I don’t see how your example is ‘funny’. That’s what you expect to get. -5^2^ is -25. (-5)^2^ = 25.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened. https://programming.dev/pictrs/image/1e398790-5848-431e-98b0-61a9e6712158.png

(This doesn’t consider the separator) Cyan - DD/MM/YY Magenta - MM/DD/YY Yellow - YY/MM/DD The other ones are mixes of those two colors, so e.g. the US is MM/DD/YY and YY/MM/DD (apparently).

Also just noticed I didn’t attribute this picture, I’ll edit my comment.

And definitely avoid libgen and scihub, lest you accidentally learn something new without paying the exorbitant fees.

E-Bike Industry Blames Consumers For Fires In Effort To Undermine ‘Right To Repair’ Laws (www.techdirt.com)

Countless companies and industries enjoy making up scary stories when it comes to justifying their opposition to making it easier to repair your own tech. Apple claims that empowering consumers and bolstering independent repair shops will turn states into “hacker meccas.” The car industry insists that making it easier and...

I’ve never thought about it this way before. This must be why some places refuse to invest in public transport. Just imagine the consequences if they didn’t even need to fix their cars at all

I truly wonder why. I mean, others just package a python installation, but Microsoft wants to use the cloud. Very peculiar.

And honestly, for data you should be using formats like .csv anyways. i really don’t see who this update is supposed to target. If you’re using Python, the data must be large enough to warrant its use.

Exactly why I hope it will flop and they decide it’s not worth the money. It’s disgusting how tech companies take something free and try to monetize it by hiding it under a veneer of “accessibility” and “integration”. One can only hope that information regarding FOSS will remain easily accessible and that the group this update is targeting is insignificant enough. I doubt any serious data scientist would opt to Excel + Python over just Python for big enough data sets, and the average Excel user, let’s face it, is unlikely to learn Python.

Just consider that by using Ubuntu inside Windows, they’re trying to make you not install Linux on hardware itself.

Yeah, Roscosmos was a pretty normal space agency, ESA even had collaborations with them (ExoMars comes to mind). It’s Putin’s political decisions that have all but ended Roscosmos. I can’t see them recovering from this, at least not in the near future.

Recommended learning materials

Greetings. I am just getting started with Machine learning. I went into this field actually mostly focusing on Deep Learning, however whilst reading Ian Goodfellow’s “Deep learning”, I have found an interest in the field in general. Would you have any recommendations regarding books (or other resources, though I prefer...

Thank you kindly, I’ll check them out as soon as I can!

I’ll just add that as an undergrad asking grad students can also be often insightful.

Forget the moon, the USSR put probes on Venus (the Venera missions).

According to the article, this seems to be a Wolf-Rayet star though, decidedly not main sequence.

But your point remains, it is a massive outlier.

I wonder what the numbers are for the rest of the world. it seems to me that Androids are much more popular at the far reaches of the EU e.g.
