The way I read this story the NSA is really not rifling through ordinary people's email. They are specifically looking for a certain string. It is highly unlikely that ordinary people's emails contain this string. A story like ht

I do not think my opinion on this matter is deeply controversial, it is just that opponents of a Snowden pardon wisely keep their mouths shut. I also think that my request for views opposing my current view shows my flexibility on this matt

I thought both your "arguments" were petty and slightly offensive. To say basically: 'Just Google my rebuttal' is not worthy of a reply. You could have just skipped my sincere request for reasoning opposite to my own. Wi

Thank you for posting this great debate video. Although it did not change my opinion on the pardon, I now have a more nuanced view on this matter. I thought all the debaters in this video had good points, but I still agree with the oppositi

There is no strong theoretical foundation for very complex and/or deep models. There are ways to gauge results, but right now, the media is right in that there are risks. The pneumonia project referenced in the article had Caruana vo

The trick to accurate interpretability is to decouple accuracy from explanations. Just like an International Master commentator can explain most of the moves of a Super GM, so can an interpretable simple model explain the predictions of a v

Yes, I feel strongly that they should be suspended. The damage done by public terrorist propaganda far outweighs the damage of not being able to easily analyze their social graph. Mind you, there are other ways (not available to anyone with

It's a low effort meme-like post that adds nothing to the article or discussion. Those are frowned upon at HN. It's not impossible to make joke-y replies to posts and receive upvotes, but it takes a lot of practice (or authority).
