But what did any of that have to do with Microsoft, or even Google's practices?
The entire article was a tutorial on Bayes's rule, with a completely irrelevant introductory paragraph thrown in at the top. Nothing about Google or Microsoft's practices was actually mentioned anywhere.
- sordina 13y agoYes, the article was about simplifying statistical operations. The comments were inferring that some observed practices may have followed as a consequence. I'd prefer to discus the meat of the article, but it's not unusual to see comments go off on a tangent like this.
- wfunction 13y agoWhat annoys me is when people write irrelevant provocative introductions just to attract attention to their otherwise not so interesting writings.
