If only there was some way to compute entailments from unlikely combination of events :-) But seriously, Gary Marcus and Ernie Davis make a good case in their new book Rebooting AI that logic has to play a role in any real AI.

Thats really bad. Chase doesn't even offer the option of non-phone 2FA

Maybe there is a potential revenue model lurking here - pay extra to get the lighter version of a page? (half joking)

Love the restored and electrified Morris Minor!

I agree and I think this is going to happen at some point.

Indeed - even cities like Nashville have seen dramatic increases in home prices in recent years: https://www.nashvillepublicradio.org/post/after-years-surgin...

I have a similar experience- I've been working for nearly 30 years and have not been laid off directly. But many people in my group were laid off over the years

I'm reading the new book on the failings of pure ML based AI by Gary Marcus and Ernie Davis (Rebooting AI) that makes a similar point

As an old-timer in neural networks, this was interesting. However I should note that we did not call it "deep learning" back then. It was simply "neural networks". As I write this, I am looking at the book "Parallel

When I was working on an agile project based on scrums, I developed a real dread of the daily standup meeting. You don't always have results to report on a daily basis. On the days that I had nothing much to report, I was implicitly gi

User created content is a toxic asset - this is a mess that has no resolution

That is exactly my point. Studying code for security exploits is hard and tedious work. If I were developing a Node.js app, I would be glad to pay someone to do that for me.

I wonder if a system similar to the way Kosher certification might be applicable here. A company could continuously scan packages for threats and host the scanned packages which could be accessed via subscription.

Well, one way of looking at it is that the general population is the biggest group possible :-)

Linear algebra and calculus are an essential part of machine learning. I use my knowledge of these topics almost daily

But ultimately the money spent by state governments has to come from _somewhere_. Property taxes are quite high in Texas for example: https://www.kut.org/post/heres-why-property-taxes-are-higher... Other states with no

I like this. This could become the basis for a personal outboard memory. Add some intelligence and this could become the basis for a personal virtual agent.

perhaps chassis and suspension may benefit but with rapid electrification impending in the future, even that is of dubious value. A Bugatti is like a piece of jewelry in my opinion - beautiful but of no practical value.

Interesting! When I worked at IBM, we evaluated Duckling (the Haskell version) for use in the Watson Assistant product but decided to write our own numerical quantity parser/interpreter. We used ANTLR and created context-free grammars

Indeed, I already have a PhD (machine learning - 1992) and I worked in software development for 28 years, mostly doing what others told me to work on. I now get to do whatever I want. I've always admired the way Knuth has spent his &qu

My daily routine looks something like this nowadays: spend mornings studying logic programming. Afternoons, I fire up my GPU cluster on AWS and try out some NLP experiments. Some days, I'll work on Haskell if I feel like it. Or possibl

This is what the FIRE movement (Financial Independence and Retire Early) is all about. I would highly recommend the book "Your money or your life" by Vicki Robin. The best approach to switching to more meaningful work is to start

I wish I could upvote you a hundred times. I get at most about 3 hours of intense concentration per day. The need to show constant progress on daily scrums is what made me quit my job recently.

In my 20s I would have completely agreed with you. Now in my 50s, these toys don't seem quite as attractive. What I crave now is understanding. Being able to get a whole day without distraction to understand an algorithm or a theorem i

Interesting - I too heard this story from Paul Karger (a noted security expert, sadly deceased). Paul's office was next to mine at IBM research and by talking to him, I realized I lacked the necessary level of paranoia to ever become a

As an ex-IBMer with a few dozen patents, I can explain this. The company offer a big cash bonus for filing patents. But I do have to mention that it's not very easy to get an a patent idea through the internal review process. These pat

I just left IBM recently myself. I was involved in a lot of recruiting work and I know exactly what you mean. I too found the whole process completely cringeworthy. Suitable for the FellowKids subreddit:-)
