archelskanzure: Read my paper yet? :)04:48
fennml class homework is hard for all the wrong reasons :(05:20
foucistfenn: what are those reasons05:22
jrayhawkRather than teaching students functional programming, it's teaching students to despise functional programming05:23
fennit's not teaching students programming at all05:23
fennit's "how to nit-pick"05:24
fennalso, octave error messages suck05:24
fenn"there's an error somewhere on this line"05:24
fenngee thanks05:24
jrayhawkstaying true to its matlab origins05:24
fenndespite all this, i can't figure out why my algorithm doesn't converge (what they should be teaching)05:25
fennhttp://fennetic.net/irc/ml-class-ex1-divergence.png05:25
jrayhawkoh, you mean "matlab", not "ml"05:26
jrayhawkokay05:26
fennml = machine learning05:26
jrayhawkthat's usually abbreviated as "ai"05:26
fennand "ai" is abbreviated as "cs"?05:27
jrayhawkanyway, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language)05:27
foucistjrayhawk: ai-class.com and ml-class.org are two separate classes on going05:46
foucistalong with db-class.org05:46

JayDuggerGood morning, everyone.06:00
JayDuggerfenn: You might try search for diacritical marks absent from English in subtitles as a signifier of "not-English."06:02
JayDuggerAny advice on drilling out a stripped M2 screw in a laptop?06:24
JayDugger"Don't" only counts if you've a better option.06:25
fennedm06:27
fennor acid, if it's a steel/plastic case and you're feeling adventurous06:27
JayDuggerThat seems a little over-powered and prone to damage to the motherboard.06:27
fennoh, also left-handed bits work great for this06:27
fennsometimes it will bind and just unscrew the stuck threads06:28
JayDuggerYeah, that's a good point.06:28
fennyou might be able to dremel a slot into it and use a flat head screwdriver06:28
JayDuggerI'd rather not spend more than $250 on the repair. (Used Thinkpads of the same model go for about that much on eBay.)06:28
JayDuggerI can't cut a slot. The screw sits in a recess about 5-6 mm deep and only slightly larger diameter than the screw head.06:29
JayDuggerThe left-handed bit, though, that's a good idea.06:29
JayDuggerI should probably test the screw extractor I brought home from work.06:30
