How others call it:
"Linux distribution"
"GNU/Linux distribution"

How I call it:
"GNU/Linux-like OS"

This is because they are more than just GNU + Linux.

There are many layers of software on top of software.

The GNU + Linux combination was the pioneer.

#Universities are moving away from #AIdetection tools due to concerns about #accuracy, #falsepositives, and #bias. While some institutions are redesigning assessments to emphasise student process and oral components, others still rely on detection. The lack of consistent policies and transparency around AI detection tools fuels student anxiety and raises questions about the role of surveillance in academic integrity. https://www.ft.com/content/49304b1e-8a9d-4fb6-bc4d-37dd3430bb98?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

Alright, future engineers!
**Error Bounds:** Max possible error in numerical results; they gauge reliability!
Ex: Simpson's Rule: Truncation error is O(h^4).
Pro-Tip: Smaller 'h' for better methods can still mean *worse* accuracy due to round-off!

Alright, future engineers!
**Relative Error:** Error normalized by the true value, showing accuracy proportionally.
Ex: True=10, Approx=9.8 => E_rel = |(10-9.8)/10| = 0.02 (2%)
Pro-Tip: Essential for comparing accuracy when scales differ vastly!

You've managed to invent a more complicated way to get close to #lipreading #accuracy 🥳 Just slap an #ultrasound probe under your chin, mouth some words, and wait for the 15.6% error magic to happen 🚀 Who needs a million hours of lipreading data when you can spend a month and still be worse? 🙃

The new Odyssey film reminds me the Western media usually make movies about antiquity from the perspective of Western culture. The similar movie about Troy/Wilusa ignored their being a vassal/allied state of the Hittites, Anatolian culture, their town was outside their fortified citidel, etc.

Alright, future engineers!
**Error Bound:** Max possible error for a numerical approximation.
Ex: `|True - Approx| <= E_b`.
Pro-Tip: Crucial for knowing if your solution meets required precision for engineering tasks!

The methyl methacrylate tank incident in Garden Grove, California has resurfaced one of my pet peeves.

According to mainstream news journalists, anything that is a "chemical" is "highly toxic". It's the end of the world. There isn't enough drama in the world.

This stuff is not great - it's a skin irritant, and the fumes can irritate mucous membranes like the eyes, but it is *not* instant-death-on-a-stick. The explosion they were worried about was far more dangerous for its explosive effects than for the chemical release.

It's no dimethylmercury or hydrogen fluoride or dioxygen difluoride [1]. Heck, it's oral LD50 is something like 7g/kg - so an adult would have to *eat* almost two pounds of the stuff to have an even-odds chance of dying.

Stop trying to terrorize the public, journalists. Do your damned jobs.

[1] Expose it to most things, even at almost 200 degrees C below freezing, it explodes. Try to put out the resulting fire with water, it explodes. Try to put out the fire with sand, it *sets the sand on fire*.

Ваша модель показывает 95% accuracy и при этом бесполезна: метрики для несбалансированных классов

Модель может показывать 95–99% accuracy и при этом не решать задачу: особенно если редкий класс важнее всего для бизнеса. В статье разбираем, почему accuracy ломается на несбалансированных данных, как читать precision, recall и F1, зачем смотреть PR‑кривую и confusion matrix, а также как подбирать порог классификации с учетом стоимости ошибок.
