Umm, but then a story linked from the article as "alternative example" (thus presumably "better" than the tank story), and it being one from HN by the way, seems to have a nearly identical gist, at least for me as a layman: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6269114 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6269114 - only not about neural nets, but genetic/evolutionary algorithms. Or is it somehow drastically different and I just don't understand that?
- gwern 9y agoThe difference is that api (Adam Ierymenko, 17k karma, 10 year old account) there says he did it himself - he is not retelling 'a friend of a grad student of a professor told me about some NNs'... I am willing to believe that a HN user who says something happened to himself, that it actually happened. And there is a big difference between something that happened and something that did not happen.
