I know that in some journals it is good some of the time. But yeah, didn't mean to imply thats always good. Maybe we should introduce a process of reviewing the reviews, and some incentives accordingly. Not sure how to do that.

A good journal needs good reviewers. The quality of peer-review at conferences for example is terrible, and that is well known. Even at not very big conferences, and despite the usually hard work of the organizers. So establishing a good re

I think their hype got even you a little bit. That is revealed by the word "even" in the phrase: 'people calling CNNs or even non-deep-learning models "AI"'...

As other comments mention, if Tensorflow is seen for what it is - a framework for computation, rather than just "a deep learning thingy", it may be pretty useful. It is probably quite far from a standard usage, but Tensorflow may

Still don't quite get it. Additional power sold to the grid means competition to the coal-burning power plants. Assuming the plant's only goal is profit, would they just produce less power and lose money? Or would they try to lowe

Thanks, this explains it. Do you think there are numbers somewhere about how much carbon is saved globally due to this? Them selling the energy may drive down the prices, increasing demand. So it could be that more energy is consumed at t

Can anyone explain this: If all they do is buy and sell electricity from renewable sources, while using the regular grid to actually power the data-centers, then why do they do it at all? Is it a form of philanthropy?

Not only corporations abandon real fundamental research, but people like the the author of that blog start referencing things like AlphaGo as "fundamental research" comparable to Shannon's or Turing's work. AlphaGo is a

SymPy does not take Latex as input, but it has symbolic equivalence checkers. Methods are highly heuristic, and some languages (all expressions with,say, \pi, and exp function, or something similar) are in general undecidable.

So here's the ultimate, highly scientific jerkness test proposed by the article: Think about this article sometime later today, sometime when you are surrounded by other people—maybe in the lunch line, or at a department meeting, or

Look for survey papers in the fields you are interested in. These papers are written exactly for your situation - to provide a glimpse of the field assuming little prior knowledge. regarding: >>Plus, you can ignore the math part a

That person approaches the issue as his personal problem. However, there are likely many other students around him with the same problem. It is a problem of the whole field recently. One solution would be simply to a arrange a local seminar

I think there are a couple of really different types of situations these actors resolve. The fake groom for a wedding is just a workaround for a cultural issue, maybe not uniquely Japanese. The society requires a groom, so here is one. I wo

That's a terrible team, hopefully non representative. I haven't ever seen a work environment that would be even close to producing something like this. However, looking at the article itself, there is some irony in using a pictu

I think the the way this article is written, is both the symptom, and a factor helping the proliferation, of the issue it discusses. It is more or less a trivia style collection of references and anecdotes, from different sources related to
