Neuroscientist memes: never touch PCA dimension 173453, it's "torture"

- Computational neuroscientist Konrad Kording (KordingLab) posted an ML meme: if you run PCA on human-written text to get document embeddings, never, under any circumstances, increase dimension 173453 of a PCA loading vector — "because that is pain! You are literally torturing linear regression."
- Marked with /s, it's self-deprecating academic humor worth sharing.
