Commission study on remuneration of authors of books and scientific journals, translators, journalists and visual artists for the use of their works
"A new EU study looks at the remuneration paid to authors in the print sector in ten EU countries (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Hungary and Denmark). The study was conducted to support policy-making in the area of copyright. The Commission is looking for evidence on whether, and to what extent, the differences that exist amongst the Member States' legislative frameworks affect levels of remuneration and the functioning of the internal market."

Reinforcement Learning as Optimal Control. The Linearization Principle. If a machine learning algorithm does crazy things when restricted to linear models, it’s going to do crazy things on complex nonlinear models too. The Linear Quadratic Regulator. A quick intro to LQR as why it is a great baseline for benchmarking Reinforcement Learning. A Game of Chance to You to Him Is One of Real Skill. Laying out the rules of the RL Game and comparing to Iterative Learning Control. The Policy of Truth. Policy Gradient is a Gradient Free Optimization Method. A Model, You Know What I Mean?

I'm following Phillip Compeau's online biology+math course, and it starts out with reaction-diffusion systems. I've played with them several times before, most recently in 2019, but with this course it finally "clicked" how they work. …

I’ve been trying to write this blog post for about four months now. Unsuccessfully, I might add. Most of the writing has been in my head. I really struggle with writing. So much so that it has often made me question whether I’ve chosen the right career pa…
