It's a medical journal, Trends in Immunology, the same type of journal that all medical studies are published in. Unfortunately we still have a broken publishing system in the US so it is insanely expensive to read articles/studie

There are definitely compelling use-cases and there are people working on it (though not me). Developing tools/systems to handle sensitive data in a secure way is extremely expensive and time consuming. If you can create data collectio

That sounds like a different planet to me. I don't know of any big tech company, let alone startups, that drug test. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case for dev jobs in older industries but it doesn't seem to be the

As someone who is not a cryptography expert, is there any hope of using similar logic to train on encrypted data? Naively it seems like you could perform the same operations on the back propagation steps (or any other update algorithm you&#

This is a very different kind of problem than the ones you listed. One drop of blood is going to be very similar to any other in and individual. That's not true when it comes to language data (or many other types of data for that matte

Statisticians do not fit models by hand, they "fit" models in the same way machine learning pratictioners "train" models. "Fitting" in statistics lingo is completely synonymous with "training" in ML l

Dismissing someone as a shill, an ad hominem, is not a dialectic argument.

I don't disagree, it probably should be made more explicit to customers that someone could listen to certain things said to the device. I just wanted to point out that there is a big difference between reviewing everything a customer s

Everything you say is not reviewed by employees, that would be impossible given the scale. It clearly says in the article that a very small sample are chosen for human annotation. Every single voice assistant uses supervised machine learnin

Everyone who disagrees with you is a shill. Got it.

How do you "solve" a loved one dying or being diagnosed with terminal cancer, for example? Sometimes the issue is a fundamental fact of life that can't be "solved". Psychedelics can help you come to peace with these

You can describe anything to anyone but that doesn't mean they'll actually understand it. A blind person who has never seen anything, let alone colors, will never be able to comprehend what a rainbow looks like.

So why do we bother doing anything? Why recycle at all? Let's just give up everything since the US military blows us all away in terms of scale.

The U.S. isn't a member state but the US government (through the NSF and DOE) contribute a ton of money to the research, development, and operation of the LHC and it's major experiments.

by Analog24 8y ago
No it's not. The LHC uses as much power as a small to medium sized city [0]. The next generation collider will obviously require a lot more energy. What's your point anyways? We should only consider the cost and environmental impa

by Analog24 8y ago
You have to consider more than the upfront cost. These machines are incredibly expensive to run and consume a tremendous amount of energy. The long term environmental cost needs to be factored in as well.

"We can't characterise the type of mistakes that classifiers will make, or why those mistakes are, or aren't significant in an application. We can't engineer a machine learning system in the sense that we can't eval

20 years ago you spoke directly into a microphone and could only use an extremely limited set of supported languages and locales/accents. You're also missing the point. I don't think anyone has ever claimed that speech recogn

They can not silently introduce new hardware to these devices. You should look into what kind of hardware these devices actually contain. Try to set up an intelligent, personalized data miner with those constraints.

1.) It's not actually scalable to pay enough people to talk to Alexa to train these models. 2.) That data would not be representative of what real users are doing so it would bias the models.

"True AI" (or any kind of AI for that matter) is not defined by the presence or absence of an internet connection.

While I agree that backcountry travel, in general, is easier on skis you're going to shell out more money for an AT ski setup then you will for a splitboard.

I completely agree. I'm pretty sure we share similar views on this. Sorry for my confusing comment at the start, I'll choose my wording more carefully next time :)

I think you misread what I said, which could have been worded better. > There are plenty of things that kids do NOT recover from and we now know that moderate marijuana use is NOT one of them. i.e. Kids don't recover from everyt

...I'm well aware of that. The original comment stated that kids recover from everything and this study was a tautology. I'm saying that this is not true. edit: it's clear my comment was confusing b/c there's a do

I think you'd be surprised how many people smoke weed in high school. If I had to estimate I'd say that over half of my class smoked (including the class president and valedictorian) and probably close to 20% smoked on a daily bas
