Can't wait until chat bots trained on someone's messages are used as "evidence" of what that person thinks. It's blatantly obvious that the crowd here would accept this as valid analysis if the whole thing is pepper

I'm as so tired of trying to read these "deep learning" AI papers that deliberately obfuscate what they did and didn't do. Often by using deliberately ambiguous terminology, over-explaining the domain and immediately flo

Many managers believe that learning is something that you should do on your own time. Even when "learning" boils down to memorizing idiosyncrasies of some framework/protocol/micro-controller they force you to use.
