No. The point is that the attack surface is more vast for data-driven models.

Genetic algorithms' weaknesses largely boil down to getting stuck in local extrema and premature convergence, which can be resolved by trying different values for parameters like probability of mutation, trying different genetic operat

Much more robust than almost all modern ML algorithms which let's be real, aren't exactly applicable to anything outside recommendation systems and 2D image processing.

Yes for the sole reason LLMs are very arrogant and I don't want to end up similarly delusional about whatever happens to be that I'm researching.

You're right. AIMA is Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig. PRM is Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher Bishop. ESL is Elements of Statistical Learning by Trevor Hastie

Nope, and AIMA/PRML/ESL are still king! Apart from these 3 you literally need nothing else for the very fundamentals and even advanced topics.

Your info is off if you believe PRS assessments are anywhere close to pseudoscience. And ok, let's agree for the sake of it that it is like astrology. Astrology is unnervingly popular, there are columns of big newspapers HN reveres ded

It's very amusing that the parent comment, or anyone else for that matter, believes their credentials somehow are enough to quell us about any potential horrific implications.

Phrenology thrived and was heavily celebrated only one century ago as well. In the case of PRS assessment where it's already an established discipline, and not at all as unreliable as fortune-telling, it wouldn't be so hard to wea

You are not speaking from a position of a grifter though. I don't think it's a stretch that some YC funded startup could emerge and claim that they can map and predict everyone's entire actions/personalities/chara

Yes it's horrifying indeed. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that there are many that fall into this rat race and treat it as another type of MSc credential.

You know what is going to end up happening though is something akin to the Tesla's "autonomous" Optimus robots.

Not necessarily. If the problem was solved more easily if one possessed some specific amount of crystallized intelligence, one could say the "tardy" person turns out to have superior fluid intelligence.

In regards to Figure 3 I think the most easily observable difference, particularly by comparing men's short-term prediction and women's long-term preference, is the inner eyebrows' tilt and upper eyelid height. Also the chin

None, and in fact it has been proposed that men suffering from AGA, especially if it's early onset, may have something equivalent to polycystic ovarian syndrome in women. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28711970/

They're still largely abysmal for any other discipline that's not StackOverflow related so apart from ripoff bootcamps (that are dead anyway) higher education is safe for the time being.
