You're arguing with a point that I haven't made.
> I'm seeing rampant use of ML now for problems we already know how to solve in much simpler ways: linear control theory, bayesian statistics, Kalman filters, etc.
How many of these techniques are in the book in the original post?
I'm not saying the we should throw ML at everything, I'm saying the Norvig's book isn't useful in 2023.
- medo-bear 3y agoNorvig's book is extremely useful for a whole different reason. It remains one of the best advanced books on general software design. Don't get distracted by the title
