Gene Wilder meme: Tell me all about how your opinions are better than everyone else's!

  You will note I did not proffer any of my own. To avoid Dunning-Kruger, you must know what things you don't have sufficient knowledge about and avoid speaking as if you do. Also please don't "meme" on HN, it degrades discussion quality very quickly. There are other venues for that.

    oh, I beg your pardon. You did say "very few of them have been in the trenches with ML (not just using, but designing and building the actual architectures, working on theory, or writing cogent philosophy about it) long enough to have good opinions about it worth listening to." I thought you meant that your opinions are worth listening to, unlike the other HN'ers. Are they not?

      That's pretty irrelevant within the context of this comment. I said what I said; I didn't say anything else. I have thoughts about this and related topics in my comment history, but still focus pretty tightly on saying things I can reasonably back up, avoiding speculation about things where my understanding is murkier. So in that wider sense, yes, I am living my values.
