It sounds like some buzzword speak. Most things that are heralded as ML are nothing but data science idiots from python schools applying some basic math transformations and overselling them.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoI was going to say "most ML these days nothing but chains of if-else statements" but yeah same idea. What's wrong with python?
- entha_saava 6y agoNothing wrong with python or JS. But there are many things wrong with bootcamp / workshop people who come out just learning Python with some ML library or JS with some web framework. They don't know even basics of CS and arguably produce bad, inefficient code. There is a famous word for latter - 'webshit'. The former doesn't have such a title. But there is an obscure one originating from a Slashdot comment IIRC something like: 'you are one of those data science idiots from python schools eh?' Edit: I didn't mean disrespect to those doing meaningful research. But that's not what most of things sold as 'ML' are.
