but why do we have to match specifically against substr*? it’s not a law of nature, we could also match against the regex (?i)substr(?-i).*

not saying that one option is necessarily better, but I don’t see a good reason for which any one of these options would be terrible

You could also say that down should not complete to download since those are completely different strings and you shouldn’t expect one to get you the other.

There is truth in this, but it isn’t as true as some people seem to think. it’s true that trial and error is a real part of working in ml, but it isn’t just luck whether something works or not. We do know why some models work better than others for many tasks, there are some cases in which some mannual hyperparameter tuning is good, there was a lot of progress in the last 50 years, and so on.

technically lands are colorless, plains just produce white mana

otherwise everything seems fine and legal here

not sure if I would, but I will definitely not rule that out. I think almost anything you learn changes how you think and can express your thoughts, although language does it in a more direct way.

in many cases, it’s the only language that all participants in the conversation understand, not the only one for each.

but to be honest, if I could exchange my knowledge of my native language with the same amount of experience with something else (e.g. programming, math, etc.) I might take that deal (after moving to a primarily english speaking country of course).

statements of the israeli police about this:

1. rhe victim was being arrested for drug crimes when this incident happened.
2. according to the israeli police, the cameras on the 16 officers where off because of a “technical error”.
3. the extreme violence applied to the the victim by the 16 armed officers was necessary to restrain him, because he acted violently.
4. the star-of-david-shaped injury was caused from the shoelaces on an officer’s shoe, which means that at some point the officer’s foot was either pressed hard against the victim’s face, or they kicked the victim’s face.

source (in hebrew, includes an image of some of the victims wounds and an image of the shoelaces)

I do find it beliveable that the star of david was unintentional (the actual shape, not the kick to the face), which of course doesn’t make this case any more justified.

that’s true relative to the hoop, but relative to the ground the velocity would stay zero. otherwise, relative to the ground, the object would gain velocity without any force being applied to it.

but relative to what? assuming portals work similarly to windows, if I take a hoop/window and place it quickly over an object, that object won’t launch in the opposite direction
