I’m having difficulty with this in a way that “smells” like either “too much jargon” or “not enough effort expended explaining terms at start”. That is, I (recent PhD in statistics) can more-or-less parse individual statements, but unable to chunk things into parts that are large enough to seem non-trivial. Note that I’m coming here from the “deep double-descent” article which does seem intuitive for me at first read (that is, definitely interesting, but closer to being too trivial than too complex).
I’ll come back and read this again later, but for now: if you’re editing this, I’d suggest starting slower and/or working to de-jargonify.
This post is the second post in the middle of a five-post sequence—you should definitely start with the introduction and if you still feel confused by the terminology, there’s also a glossary that might be helpful as well. You can also get a lot of the content in podcast form here if you’d prefer that.
