That was a joy. Thank you for sharing

Check this shit out (fig 1).
Lmao there’s so much gold. I got frustrated for him while reading it.

I had a hard time reading. Could not stop laughing enough to get past the fourth paragraph. Sides hurt, would not recommend.

Going into physics was the biggest mistake of my life. I should’ve declared CS. I still wouldn’t have any women, but at least I’d be rolling in cash.
Honestly, there wasn’t all that much cash to roll in and there’s less all the time now. Plus, if you think busted equipment is bad, wait until I tell you about inheriting legacy code.

From what I heard, the guy actually did change to a CS major shortly after writing this.

This relation between temperature and resistivity can be shown to be exponential in certain temperature regimes by waving your hands and chanting “to first order.”
for some reason this is the line that got me

One Line to rule them all
One Line to find them
One Line to bring them all

One line best-fits all

Machine Learning enthusiasts: Why settle for linear regression when you can deploy a Gradient-Boosted Random Deep Neural Net Surface Vector Cluster that consumes the entire power of Iceland to trace a perfect ∞-dimensional hypersphere around blue points? Overparameterization is the future!

Fine! I’ll use a second order polynomial to fit this instead. But that’s the last order I’m willing to go to!

Oh, it’s trending up. That’s progress!

Well, some students of mines actually put some figure like that in al lab report…
Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 10 months ago
You asked for a line, they gave you a line, what more can be asked for?
We used to intentionally add wrong data to our datasets so we could circle it afterwards, declare it “outlying data” and gain the extra points for spotting and documenting it.
I’m not bitter about my formal education, honest…

Nice trick!

If you’re having proportion of explained variance problems I feel bad for you son
I got ninety nine problems but a fit ain’t onemindbleach@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Gaussian: “Squint.”

Looks like a successfullybtrained learning model, to me. (Sarcasm)

They’ll also try to linear fit even the most obvious exponential curve.
yesman@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And if that doesn’t work, there’s always factor analysis.
troyunrau@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
How can you argue with a word like "best’ anyway ;)
uis@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Probably minimal surface ellipse.
Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
It’s the line of best fit, not the line of good fit

Line of “least bad” fit
