Something like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_collective_guilt ? (obviously what is happening in Venezuela is substantially less tragic and not directly comparable)

Nowhere did I insult your intelligence. I insulted your argument.

Citation for the first claim?

If you don't address my point, and instead go on long non sequitur tangents, there is no discussion to be had.

Allow me to save anyone reading this thread some time: the assertion about Clinton wanting to drone strike Assange remains unsubstantiated, as the parent comment acknowledges. I didn't assert anything about any of the other random stuf

That is because the Western media is in the habit of actually trying to verify sources and not making things up. The only "citation" offered by True Pundit, the original source of this claim (and a website I have never heard of)

The blogger had a full-time job. The blogging was just a side thing. Neera denies having him fired (as opposed to the org firing him on their on decision). Source: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/po

I could see this question being a valid question to ask for a research scientist role if the applicant has a PhD in CS/Mathematics/Operations Research and their research area is optimization or machine learning, or they claim to h

You've just selected the national poll that is the most favorable to Trump. An average over polls >> any individual poll. Note that I am not saying that poll should be thrown out. But picking one poll in isolation is almost u

They are suggesting the far-right is angering the underclass. If you're asserting the NY Times is therefore blaming the crimes on the far-right, good luck!

by argonaut 10y ago
The NYT clearly blames the crime on.... the people committing the crime. The NYT is not blaming the crime on the far right. If anything, they are blaming it on the Arab ghetto kids which is what the OP was claiming was the truth.

If this is the article you are talking about: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/11/world/europe/copenhagen-de... , you are misreading it. "One theory is that cars in Denmark are being burned by ind

I'm extra-suspicious of this lawsuit because of the opportunistic timing. He was fired in January 2015, more than 1.5 years ago. And yet the lawsuit is only filed now during Verizon's process of closing its acquisition of Yahoo. W

One (not especially widely read) paper's title can hardly be called a "term of art" in ML.

The author is not an agency recruiter. So this hardly seems relevant to his post.

Yes, and I don't think it's just people using upvoting as bookmarks (most people I know don't do that). I think it has to do with the fact that HN is a very diverse mix of folks (technical, non-technical, working at startup,

On MNIST KNN with clever feature engineering will get you 99.4%, and a crazy deep net ensemble will get you 99.8%. I'm not sure what your point is. MNIST is the todo list of machine learning - it's a necessary but not sufficient c

Yes. And in theory, k-nearest-neighbors is also a universal approximator. (Being a universal approximator doesn't tell you much since so many ML algos are).

Is there a story somewhere of AI researchers concluding general object recognition was the holy grail of AI? I get that a lot of people downplay achievements in machine learning by saying it's nothing like AGI, but it's almost a m

That would be even worse - he knows the limits of the designs and chooses to ignore them anyways and publish anecdata.

Skimming the article, I see barely any mathematical notation, relative to what you would actually see in a lecture on this topic. This seems pretty math sparse as theoretical topics go.

Except for the tons of counterexamples at Google... Bazel, Tensorflow, protobufs, GWT (a web/JavaScript project!), dozens of utility libraries, etc. You are forgetting that Google is a huge company, much bigger than Facebook. It's

Who said I was belittling it? Your words not mine. If anything I was belittling the academic study of philosophy.

by argonaut 10y ago
You're not making a coherent argument. It seems we agree?
595.
by argonaut 10y ago
You are conflating "philosophizing" with "the modern academic study of philosophy." To most people, the second has nothing to do with the first. Your grandparents, uncles, and aunts have better answers to those questio

This is effectively restating what Animats said. Quanergy has not shipped.

I think the larger point is that you won't have time to take those vacations. That being said, a fresh grad that can make it into a top PhD can probably pull 200k+ in Silicon Valley.

by argonaut 10y ago
It's good that you're satisfied, but saying that the federal government is comparable to what engineers make in Silicon Valley tells me you don't actually know what engineers make in Silicon Valley.

Humans appear to do quite well on ImageNet (anecdotally, one person got 5.1% error: http://karpathy.github.io/2014/09/02/what-i-learned-from-com... ). Of course there are recent deep models that do better than

Please keep your rant to the other subthread. I was addressing aab0's point.
