A quotation from Asimov

People are entirely too disbelieving of coincidence. They are far too ready to dismiss it and to build arcane structures of extremely rickety substance in order to avoid it. I, on the other hand, see coincidence everywhere as an inevitable consequence of the laws of probability, according to which having no unusual coincidence is far more unusual than any coincidence could possibly be.

Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) Russian-American author, polymath, biochemist

A quotation from Douglas Adams

What I mean is that if you really want to understand something, the best way is to try and explain it to someone else. That forces you to sort it out in your mind. And the more slow and dim-witted your pupil, the more you have to break things down into more and more simple ideas. And that’s really the essence of programming. By the time you’ve sorted out a complicated idea into little steps that even a stupid machine can deal with, you’ve learned something about it yourself.

Douglas Adams (1952-2001) English author, humourist, screenwriter
Dirk Gently, No. 1, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, ch. 4 [Richard] (1987)

☆ guest say "no cleaning" then you don't clean. It just means they would like some Privacy because they're still in the room at that time.

P.s. you should not need this #Explanation. You should just be able to follow instructions and simple rules.

LIME for ECG Time Series Dataset Example

LIME (Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations) — популярный модет в решении задачи интерпретации. Он основан на простой идее — приблизить прогнозы сложного оценщика (например, нейронной сети) простым — обычно линейной/логистической регрессией. Применить LIME можно из коробки при помощи одноименной библиотеки [ lime ]. Однако, при применении LIME к, в частности, к временным рядам возникают особенности. Поэтому в чистом виде lime для TimeSeries не всегда легко применить. И в этом туториале мы сделаем приближенение метода самостотельно! :)

To #demonize a #PrideMarch, like #Orban and his Goons do, as a "#Violation against Children's Rights", reminds me of what the #Nazis did with the #Art, they didn't like. They called it
"#EntarteteKunst" (#DepravedArts) . These are the same Mechanisms, of #perverting good Things into something bad in their Eyes.
They find a perverted #Explanation to fill it in a judical Form.

Around 100,000 march at Budapest Pride in defiance of Hungary's ban on the event

Marchers gambled with potential police intervention and heavy fines to participate in the 30th annual Budapest Pride, which was outlawed by a law passed in March by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's right-wing populist governing party.

Can you explain to me like I'm four, how a day for you in general looks like, when it's a calm relaxed and peaceful day & how a day in general can look like, when it's a day with a lot of pressure
