I think they're referring to a Bernoulli distribution being discrete, while the estimator that answers the dudes question would have to be wrt a continuous distribution.

​

Ironically I work with Continuous-Bernoulli latent-density VAEs so I don't get it. woosh.

Unsure about your assumption about the other assumptions but loled at the end nonetheless. Just to completely confuse some redditors:

Just shootin' from the hip.. I'm not sure why the answer to the guy's question would have to be continuous though...

I do know that the Bernoulli distribution (that is used to generate probability estimates) is discrete though...

🤷‍♀️
