If overwhelmed by # of papers in *offline* RL, check out our @NeurIPSConf Spotlight with Scott Fujimoto: we show how few lines change to TD3 (TD3+BC) can be competitive with SoTA algorithms, halving training time. Inspired by #minimalism #zen #konmari arxiv.org/abs/2106.06860
We propose "BC as a regularizer", which adds negligible compute cost to original TD3 objective, but makes it quite performative on offline RL.
For the table, we followed similar "algorithm" "implementation" separations suggested in our other NeurIPS paper

Ok folks, if you're itching to add a discussion of Marie Kondo/KonMari re: religion and #Japan (esp. #Shinto or #animism) to your syllabus, here's my recommendation on how to go about it per request 1/

#academicchatter #academictwitter #mariekondo #konmari #spirituality
First, raise the issues of race and gender in hot takes on Marie Kondo in Western popular media. These short articles pair well together.

Next (DO NOT SKIP this step!), listen to scholar of Japanese religion @jolyonbt re: Marie Kondo/KonMari being representative of Shinto or animism or not.

Con mis hijos tenemos un sistema que mezcla una suerte de “Homeschooling” (HS) con un espacio de aprendizaje autónomo al que van. Como ahora son muchas las familias que no sabrán qué hacer con sus hijos durante estos días, voy a compartirles actividades y recursos. #CODVID19
Pero antes unas explicaciones: Yo nunca he creído mucho en la escuela como institución. Le dimos una oportunidad más con nuestros hijos pero acabó siendo tan desastre que salimos huyendo para no volver. Los desescolarizamos. Pueden revisar este libro para encontrar alternativas:
No voy a hablarles aquí de ninguna escuela aunque varias tienen una pésima gestión administrativa o son incoherentes con su propuesta de aprendizaje ni de la incapacidad para atender problemas de convivencia o bullying ni tampoco de la discriminación frente a niños neuro diversos

Hey friends, if you've been letting go of books you no longer need, rather than donate them to a thrift shop, please consider sending them to a prison library:

Please, do NOT donate your books to your local library without checking with the librarians.

Why?
- library edition books are hardier, designed for hundreds, if not thousands, of read-throughs. Your paperback will not stand the test of time.
- They probably already have a copy
I have seen SO MANY of my librarian friends post about this. (Particularly maddening: books that are "donated" through the BOOK DROP.)

If you think your local library might want actually want some of your discards, PLEASE talk to the librarian.

The Konmari method and why people are jerks, a thread:
#KonMari #MariKondo #Tokimeki
“Spark Joy” = Tokimeki which is a feeling of excitement, palpitation, interest and a litany of things including “joy”. If all of your books give you tokimeki then keep them all. Konmari method is not about randomly tossing stuff away, it’s about valuing what you have.
Mari Kondo has a deep attachment to Shinto and was an attending maiden for a shrine for 5 years. A lot of the philosophies in her tidying at Shinto one’s, particularly animism.
