NaN is a special floating point value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754

It's weird but it makes sense why it was chosen to be this way.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

It's not true in a normal programming language. If it is true in yours, you should stop using it immediately.

Where did you get this information from?

With a cup of Polonium tea.

The problem being that he is currently heading a superpower which is threatening economic and military force to achieve its goals, which apparently go against those partners.

I am under 30, and I have interacted with music files.

edit: I don't know about where you live, but I am definitely not the exception.

We have been fucking it for centuries. And by the looks of things, that's not stopping any time soon. I'd rather we have something we can do besides hoping that certain people decide now's the time to seriously address climate change.

Don't forget the new open-access model which has scientists pay money instead! (And not paltry sums)

I do wonder. I know of the opposite problem in other spheres (some areas in physics), where it is hard to run scientific programs under Windows, and some people resort to WSL, but many also just run Linux on the metal.

EDIT: With Mac, I do not know.

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

But when it comes to weather, the boiling point of water is not a meaningful point of reference.

Well, the freezing point of water is very relevant for weather. If I see that the forecast is -1 degC when it was positive before, I know I will have to watch out for ice on roads.

And the boiling point as the other reference point makes complete sense.

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.
