I like how this directly goes against the argument of Fahrenheit being more "graded" with integers lol

About the only useful thing I see is that 100 Fahrenheit is about body temperature. Yeah, that's about the only nice thing I can say about Fahrenheit. All temperature scales are arbitrary, but since our environment is full of water, one tied to the phase changes of water around the atmospheric pressure the vast majority of people experience just makes more sense.

Because Joule is the SI unit of energy, meanwhile the Watt is the SI unit of power, equivalent to one Joule per second.

"Converting" joules to watts would be like converting m/s to US dollars.

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

(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.

Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

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

pigs in plural, yes. How many streaming services are there now? I lost track a couple of years ago.

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

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

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

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.

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 textbooks)? Any recommendations are welcome.

Regarding mathematics, I would actually prefer books with a more rigorous exposition.
