Because of evidence.

I'm pretty sure I have a different objective function in mind here: unlike preceding lifeforms, our goal should be to hand a better and better future to each other (& offspring).

I've noticed this about BBQ at Bay Area places--liquid smoke and a broiler. I suspect doing it right requires a degree of patience and sustained labor (meat must be tended all day long) that I've only seen at $50+ per head places

I've noticed two pain points: Installing outside of Anaconda can be a real chore, and error messages were extremely unhelpful (as of about 12-18 months ago, hopefully it's better now).

No, because certain things are fine in an interpreted function that will fail to compile, and throw totally uninformative errors. E.g., one time I spent about 3 hours trying to figure out why a relatively simple, perfectly functional Numpy

Different set of tasks. SpaCy is focused on bread-and-butter tasks like tokenization, part of speech tagging, and dependency parsing (not to say that these are easy, but that they are things people have been working on a long time). AllenNL

Computation won't help if we don't have the right representations. Arguably computation can help us discover the right representations but the space of possible representations is very, very large.

All of the above require fairly complex world knowledge as well as an explicit representation of a scene. There is minimal leverage for lexical distributional statistics in these cases—arguably the one thing we have had major success in usi

Similar case here as a cognitive science PhD student... analyses (Jupyter notebooks) are basically imperative but if I need to write a library to support the analysis (which I almost always need to do) then OO.

I feel bad for the poor NLP tokenizer that will process this later and decide that two-to-the-forty-seven is a word, strangely unattested in any corpora.

Yes, this is a thing. The existence of a citation format isn't a blanket endorsement of its use in all ways in a scientific work. For example, in linguistics I could cite a specific usage example from a (non peer-reviewed) webpage. On

Publishing in a (reputable) journal generally means some degree of peer review. While noisy, this process generally means that really outrageous methodological errors or theoretical claims get weeded out. For a good paper, it means that oth

I don't understand the opposition to abstracts: dense means high information content, so if you know the field you can learn a whole lot (like whether you should read this paper or another one).

Because donors and taxpayers still wouldn't understand the summary version in many, many cases.

Because most journal articles are speaking to multiple audiences—those wanting to efficiently consume the text in a literature review (like the instruction in this article) and others who are preparing a rebuttal or an elaboration on the me

On the contrary I totally agree with the author on the point regarding journal—while noisy, reputable journals generally have better editing and stronger peer review. Of course it isn't the case that less credentialed journals / a

I've run into trouble with human vision in this case: I can see that a plant is stressed, but it's often much harder to figure out what is stressing it.

One could hook the RPi up to a solenoid valve and then standard Orbit drip tubing or variable drop line emitters.

Wow Zillow, way to protect that valuable IP! If I were an employee there I would wonder why legal wasn't working on something more useful. Is there any open repository of house images (OpenStreetMaps, etc.) that could be used as a subs

Why wouldn't a judge throw this out as spurious if it clearly falls under fair use? (procedural question; not asserting that it does or does not meet fair use in this case).

Dear science journalists, please quit saying that papers "solve" problems ("By treating evolution as a thermodynamic process, theorists have solved one the great problems in biology."). Also, as much as I love Arxiv, I w

It would be interesting to see how similarity in bird call behavior tracks (or doesn't) the phylogenetic relationship between species. My hypothesis would be that bird calls are influenced by other birds in the same ecosystem (imitatio

Thinking of this as a caching problem, there need to be hyperlocal borrowing like at the level of apartment buildings or city blocks. The 6-unit apartment building I live in has a shared area in the basement—power tools, a shop vac, brewing

Methodology is not described and the resulting collections are of notably poor quality. Given Google's privileged position in knowledge production I wish they would be far more careful in cases like this.

Cognitive Science suffers from the same problem of misclassifications from higher-citation fields (neuroscience). Agreed that projects don't have to be perfect but it does have to have some functionality to ship... I don't see h
