Hyperparameter Tuning: Best Practices
Hyperparameter tuning is a crucial step in the process of training machine learning models. Unlike model parameters, which are learned during training, hyperparameters are set before the learning process begins and can significantly impact the performance and generalization of the model. Effective hyperparameter tuning involves systematic exploration and...

-- "If Starmer is on a US charm offensive, he must meet Trump as well as Harris.
The former president remains the likelier winner of the election, and the UK needs a working relationship with whoever is in the White House"

Europe: A Cultural History by Peter Rietbergen, 1998
'From about 13,000 BC it began to get warmer in Europe..' begins this all-encompassing survey of European cultural history. This book is a major and original contribution to the idea of Europe and its formation, from its Celtic and German origins, the influence of the Greeks and the Romans, the role of Christianity and the fruitful, if sometimes bloody, contacts with other cultures such as Islam.

New article on the Exilian Articles section!
In the second part of "Apocalypse Now or Never?" @JubalBarca writes about why apocalyptic and world-ending threats are so common in modern fantasy and what drives their use.

Another Palestinian journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of media professionals killed since Oct. 7 of last year to 173, the media office in Gaza said on Sunday.
The statement condemned Israel's targeting of Palestinian journalists and called on the international community to hold the Israeli government accountable for "crimes against journalists."

Trump's campaign to down ballot Republicans: everyone takes a knee, kisses the ring (god I hope it is just the ring), and donates 30% of the money they raise to Donny, preferably under the table (Free speech!!) or he is taking his base of bigots & losers and going home.
Melania says even a chance at inheriting half a billon dollars is not worth kissing the ring.

The GOP House won’t govern.
Send it to the backbenches in November.
In past years, Republicans’ “poison pills” on funding bills have included proposals targeting
Obamacare,
abortion rights,
immigrants and
transgender people.
This time immigrants are their target again.
They are demanding a law requiring Americans to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Voting by noncitizens is already a crime and one that virtually no one commits.
Yet for this meritless cause, House Republicans would bring the government to a halt.
I built this proof of concept of a tool called text.makeup. It is meant to be a friendly Unicode explainer – meant not just for Unicode nerds, but nerds of any kind. Useful for debugging, but also learning.
You can go there now to play (much more fun on desktop!), but I also recorded a 5-minute video that explains it further.
I am curious: Does this feel like fun? Is it worth building out for real? What would you like to see in it if so?
ADDED: Distraction. See second post in thread.
“#Trump’s campaign on Sunday said the GOP presidential candidate is “safe” after “gunshots in his vicinity.”
No further details at this time,” Trump communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement.
The statement did not provide any further information.

More: CNN—“A person has been detained in connection to the incident at Trump International Golf Club on Sunday, according to a law enforcement source.
Secret Service fired at the suspect, according to multiple sources.
A long gun has been recovered, according to the source.
Officials believe an armed individual intended to target former President Donald Trump at his golf club, according to sources briefed on the matter.”
@5klp471 Yep, posted that a few hours ago, when it broke. Thread.
Reap what you sow. Guns and hatred dance together.
I'm so damn tired of this election cycle.
We have GOT to vote him out from ever having power again.
shootings are a fact of life - vance
it is what it is - tr*mp
thoughts and prayers - republicans
Here's an interesting little detail: google.com/maps/place/Gun+Club… The northwest corner of TFGs golf club is at the corner of (I bleep you not) Kirk Rd. and Gun Club Rd. That also marks the southeast corner of Gun Club Estates.
A more *amazing* coincidence I've *never* seen.
It had nothing to do with him. This is yet another distraction
UPDATE: I’m wrong. See update
@birdpoof @Snowshadow I'm alarmed whenever a gun is used to shoot someone who isn't shooting at them first.
Sorry, despite my hatred for Trump, this concerns me.
@Snowshadow
Alarmed? In this context, absolutely not. 🤔
Anyway, I need to figure out what I'm making for dinner.

in reply to Exilian • • •Nice little set of articles with a good accounting of it. I look forward to the third. I like this line especially, not because it's true so much as it a drolly, "Of course it's true."
Since I've written a few apocalyptic stories, don't miss one last common trope. An apocalypse serves as a way to reset humanity, to wipe the slate clean as they say, so a story can better contrast the reader's understanding of modernity against an otherwise impossible society. "What people could become" stories, or how "humans will always act like humans" stories. As a bonus, you can drive the plot with the mystery of "what did actually happen?" or "Is the threat that what caused the singularity actually passed?"

in reply to RS, Author, Novelist, Prosaist • • •@sfwrtr Thank you! Yes, the focus of the parts so far has more been on the pre-apocalypse and threat of apocalypse, but there's definitely much more to be said on the apocalypse as precursor to post-apocalypse (which may need a dedicated part 4 if this series gets that far, we'll see!) :)
I also keep finding bits I should have added in: there's a bunch to say re apocalyptic threat in the Epic of Gilgamesh that I should have included in part 1 but didn't think about until much later.
