I work in “making the sausage” - deep learning techniques have already completely transformed my field and are transforming many others. Most of the people I see naysaying don’t appear to causally work in the field, because their critiques

In the past three years we have dropped error rates by a factor of 3, I don’t really think that claim holds water. We have seen huge progress in a number of other fields as well. Anecdotally, voice recognition has definitely gotten way bett

There's a ton of problems that a quality language model like GPT-3 can solve, beyond just spamming text generation - stuff like translation quality, automatic post-editing of text, classification, etc.

Classification accuracy is crazy good, I'm surprised that an obvious photo of him would be viewed as a plunger unless it's an adversarial example. No offense to Wolfram, but they really are hardly at the cutting edge of ML researc

Sure, ML is not at human-level intelligence - it is very much a tool-AI where we give a task to the machine and let it get very good at that. Nonetheless, it seems like progress on that front has been made incredibly quickly. Sure, Siri mig

Absolutely. To be perfectly honest, it surprises me the extent to which ML naysaying seems to be popular on HN. The evidence of enormous progress seems pretty obvious to me.

Just rampant misinformation in this thread - a mid-November start date is still by far the most probably and you are pretty much guaranteed to have had some other disease than SARS-Cov-2 in October 2019.

I don't really think there is an "industry standard" for this kind of work and solid works is far from the majority.

Why couldn't Youtube just keep selling ads to the Google ad network? Existing websites make money off of advertising revenue that they get from Google, how would this be different?

As a fellow resident, I disagree - I've actually never been pulled over by an MPD officer, but have been pulled over a few times by federal officers for minor driving violations (was pulled over and ticketed in DC by the secret service

You'd bet it all that they're using some sort of invertible scheme to store passwords? I doubt it. The CCP is bad, but it's also pretty rational. Doing this would just be dumb.

As long as the entropy of the client hash and of the server hash is the same, I still fail to see how this is a problem.

Mountain View police took more action against drug abuse than against robbery, rape, aggravated assault, and homicide combined by over a factor of 2. [0] They only cleared 60% of those violent crimes. Maybe they should redirect more of thei

People who advocate for "defunding" to zero generally want some sort of replacement violence/crime prevention force, but think rebuilding from the ground up is a better form of affecting that sort of change.
