Hahahahaha reminds me of a saying about spherical cows. If Game Theory was being used as an "explanation" to show why deep learning outperforms other methods then maybe it would have been fine. But then we already have Statistical

Whats is the Nash equilibrium of Pong? or Go? or Chess? All the generalizations you cite are fancy economics methods which loose applicability at the first contact with complex real world scenarios. Game Theory is like asking question such

The author is wildly extrapolating limited results ("Nash Equilibrium outcomes achieved by agents trained using deep reinforcement learning") to the entire field. Just because in DRL agents approach nash equilibrium in limited set

Exactly Derek Lowe is a classic academic without any skin in the game. Rather than appreciating risk taking he displays the sour grapes mentality. He is always welcome to short the stock. But then this kind skepticism against anyone else be

I will offer a counter opinion, the problem with Medium (or to some extent Quora) is not that they raised too much funding but rather they bet incorrectly on the content. As much as readers on Hacker News might want to believe otherwise, li

If rejecting an effort to make an already extremely racist system even more racist somehow counts as an achievement in your opinion. Then there is no point in having a debate. Why don't you talk about lack of birthright citizenship eve
