Another AI person here (Stanford PhD student). I concur the philosophical stuff is mostly annoying for me -- for me it comes off as random self-satisfied pseudo-intellectual self-indulgence that makes for nice clickbaity-youtube clips but d

Kind of a weird choice for the name, the title of the piece is "The hottest thing in robotics is an open source project you've never heard of" and "The Robot Operating System (ROS) has moved out of academics" is a s

Just a correction, he is not a professor - he is a research scientists who sometimes puts together and lectures in short classes (MIT has this weird 1 month quarter thing that has a bunch of optional classes). Or so it was when I last check

As a Russian, can confirm this article is quite accurate - my family only ever celebrates New Years, it's the same as Christmas is usually in the West, and Ded Moroz is totally a thing.

This post glosses over something important, which is that many college classes don't assign most of your grade based on tests. In Stanford's CS 229 Machine Learning class (which I am TAing right now), 20% of the grade is the midte

It's kind of funny just how much complaining about AI hype and bad coverage there is (on Twitter, and on this very subreddit), it feels like there is more of that now than actually bad coverage. This article suggests some actions to ta

This is a ridiculously reductive take on DeepMind... they produce a TON of great research, and have helped advance the state of RL considerably (speaking as an AI researcher here, having read many of their papers). Google should be commende

Currently doing a CS PhD at Stanford. If you have no interest in becoming a professor/researcher and don't like to do research, there is very little reason to do a PhD. The PhD is actually a training program for doing research muc

Why not both? Berkeley AI Blog, Stanford AI Blog, CMU ML blog... all show that you can do both. Reviews (part of paper submission process) are legitimately useful, if done well. As a researcher, having Arxiv as a standard medium and confere
