THE window blinds in my scene appear with a large cuboid covering it. This is only  showing up in the render output. I tried making the window hole with a boolean modifier and without- but this cube shape is appearind either way. I'm still a learner, can someone please help?
Have Blender on about 4 machines rendering animations. Just spotted on one of the machines its rendering something different from the actual scene that I have setup.    Top window shows a different set of layers objects to whats actually being rendered in the rendering window below.  In my scene contents, layers objects 1-5 are not visible, but these are the ones that look like they are being rendered.  The only thing I can assume is that perhaps it might be because I did not save the document before clicking render, but I would not have expected that behaviour (you dont need to save your word document before printing it).  Can anyone confirm why this is happening?
This is a little bit off topic as it is not exactly related to TeX.  I saw recently that  was updated to 1.020 which comes with math table support.  Does any one had a chance to play with this font and use it with unicode-math, and in particular with the LuaTeX engine?  I am very interested in purchasing a complete set of this nice fonts family. However I am concerned about its usability with the unicode-math package. Unlike Cambria Math or XITS Math, Minion Math does not come with a single font, instead it has 20 (4 weights 5 optical sizes) fonts. So it will be better to know how it works before spending 700 euro.  In particular, say the following minimal document, will it use correct optical size of the fonts for each of the three formulas? I had trouble with using correct optical size of Minion Pro fonts with fontspec. I worked it out with the SizeFeatures and OpticalSize. However, I am not so sure if the same strategy will work for Minion Math with unicode-math. In addition, in Cambria Math, etc., the bold symbols and alphabets are chosen directly from the unicode math enabled fonts. But in Minion Math, from the glyph tables on their websites, there seems no bold alphabets in each font. So will the mathbf in the document below work out of box?  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{Minion Pro} \usepackage{unicode-math} \setmathfont{Minion Math} % or what ever fonts name actually is  \begin{document} \fontsize{5}{5}\selectfont \[ \mathbf{E} = mc^2 \] \fontsize{10}{10}\selectfont \[ \mathbf{E} = mc^2 \] \fontsize{36}{36}\selectfont \[ \mathbf{E} = mc^2 \] \end{document} Heroku and Twisted It would be similar to trying to be extremely careful or precise.

"What kind of a person" vs. "what kind of person" Intuition behind logistic regression Recently I began studying machine learning, however I failed to grasp the intuition behind .   The following are the facts about logistic regression that I understand.   As the basis for hypothesis we use . I do understand why it's a correct choice, however why it's the only choice I don't understand. Hypothesis represents the probability that the appropriate output is $1$, therefore the domain of our function should be $[0,1]$, this is the only property of sigmoid function I found useful and appropriate here, however many functions satisfy this property. In addition, sigmoid function has a derivative in this form $f(x)(1-f(x))$, but I don't see the utility of this special form in logistic regression.   Question: what so special about sigmoid function, and why we cannot use any other function with domain $[0,1]$? The cost function consists of two parameters ${\rm Cost}(h_{\theta}(x),y)=-\log(h_{\theta}(x))$ if $y=1, {\rm Cost}(h_{\theta}(x),y)=-\log(1-h_{\theta}(x))$ if $y=0$. In the same was as above, I do understand why it's correct, however why is it the only form? For example, why couldn't $|h_{\theta(x)}-y|$ be a good choice for the cost function?  Question: what is so special about the above form of cost function; why cannot we use another form?   I would appreciate if you could share your understanding of logistic regression.

Why are two permutations conjugate iff they have the same cycle structure? Theorem 13.9 in these  is the polynomial spectral mapping theorem:     Theorem 13.9 For a polynomial $p$ we have $\sigma(p(T)) = p(\sigma(T))$.     My questions:   First direction: Why would $q(T) (p(T) - p(\lambda) I)$ be an inverse for $T - \lambda I$? Update: @RobertIsrael said that instead $(p(T) - p(\lambda) I)^{-1} q(T)$ should be $(p(T) - p(\lambda) I)^{-1}$ be? According to the lines in the proof above, we have $$ (p(T) - p(\lambda) I)^{-1} = ((T - \lambda I) q(T))^{-1} \overset{?!}{=} q(T)^{-1} (T - \lambda I)^{-1}, $$ but as $\lambda \in \sigma(T)$ by assumption, $(T - \lambda I)^{-1}$ doesn't exist, right? For the second direction: Why does $x_i \in \sigma(T)$ imply that $p(x_i) - \mu = 0$? I thought that $x_i \in \sigma(T)$ only implies that $T - x_i I$ is not boundedly invertible. Since $\mu \in \sigma(p(T))$ we have that $p(T) - \mu I = c \prod_{k = 1}^{n} (T - x_i I)$ is not boundedly invertible but how does that help?   In both statements there seem to be a notion of "a product of operators is not invertible iff all factors aren't invertible", but how can that be true? Consider i.e. shift operators on a sequence spaces such that $ST = I$, i.e. the left and right shift operators, then the above mentioned notion doesn't hold, right?

Their mean is 5, and the individual deviations from 5 are -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 And so the average (magnitude of) deviation from the mean is $30/11 \approx 2.72$.  However, this is not the standard deviation.  The standard deviation is $\sqrt{10} \approx 3.16$.  The first mean-deviation is a simpler and by far more intuitive definition of the "standard-deviation", so I'm sure it's the first definition statisticians worked with.  However, for some reason they decided to adopt the second definition instead.  What is the reasoning behind that decision? Integration of secant $$\begin{align} \int \sec x \, dx  &amp;= \int \cos x \left(  \frac{1}{\cos^2x} \right)  \, dx \\ &amp;= \int \cos x \left(  \frac{1}{1-\sin^2x} \right) \, dx \\ &amp; = \int\cos x\cdot\frac{1}{1-\frac{1-\cos2x}{2}} \, dx \\ &amp;= \int \cos x \cdot\frac{2}{1+\cos2x} \, dx  \end{align}$$  I am stuck in here.
