Not disputing you, just wanted to note that Shia Iran is doing far, far better than it's Sunni neighbors, which is even more impressive when you consider the kind of government they have and all those sanctions. And while we Muslims un

I disagree. I think the key point was that most Indians don't even know what they're doing is immoral. And the post spends majority of its space explaining why this problem is kind of unique to India.

It's not just bots, the supply itself was extremely low. Many redditors pointed out, using employees as source, some microcenters had a grand total of 10 gpus each. This was nothing more than a paper launch.

About that reddit comment, when pressed for evidence, turns out that guy's own research is conveniently "lost" because of a motherboard failure. And someone in the comment pointed out that most of the things he found suspicio

None of the countries who tried to hide it really succeeded, like Iran or China. There is no reason to believe governments of India or Bangladesh are more competent in this coverup business than those experts. I'm a Bangladeshi and I d

Isn't this what universities basically do with graduate students? They tend to be a bit older, the pay maybe a little less, but universities does allow pretty high level of freedom. Of course there are lots of problem with academic cul

I spent 6 years in one of those highly selective schools, and I have mixed feelings about this. One problem is that Small-fish-in-big-pond-effect, a good chunk of us realized there that we weren't special anymore, there wasn't the

Good point on Marshall Plan. But "Modern Europe nearly owes its existence to the herculean efforts of Americans" - really? If you're talking about ww2, Soviet union had a far more important role to play. https://ww

Yeah, was thinking the same. Even if it doesn't work as expected for UK, it would at least be a good lesson for the world.

OP prefaced by saying "outrageous prediction" - admitting plainly its pure speculation. If s/he didn't do that, that would be something that deserves to be called out.

I think this line, and in fact the entire essay, isn't meant for general people, rather fellow academics. In the very next sentences author writes- "The Art of War’s brevity and malleability will ensure it remains a popular and fr

In a poll in '07, 50% Israeli said they would not live in the same building as an Arab, nor would they ever befriend an arab. Imagine 50% American whites saying the same about African Americans. Israel in 2020 is what USA was in 1960

Do you know any other ML conference/journal, doesn't have to be NeurIPS quality,that also publishes reviews? I know there is ICLR, but anything else? I really like reading them.
