It's true we don't build planes like birds. But we understand how bird wings work, and we understand why we don't design planes like bird wings. We don't have the same kind of understanding of how brains learn, so the co

Markdown compiles to html, and if I had to guess, it's probably a superset of html? (Maybe, possibly not all html is valid markdown, I haven't checked) Assuming it's a superset though, the part I was talking about above was t

I feel like even Richard Stallman would have had a hard time imagining non-free operating systems would result in this. Use linux folks! It doesn't communicate with a third party when a process starts up!

The way the python interpreter works, there's no way for tensorflow to know you're using a for loop in order to optimize it. With method calls and operator overrides etc, tensorflow can hold off evaluating your graph, see what the

Additionally when you make something easy, people do it more than they would if it were annoying and manual. You might imagine that if you had to hand roll everything you'd be more cognizant of how many copy/pastes you did.

This comes up all the time and I never understand this attitude. Yes: dependencies are bad. Not having dependencies and writing everything yourself: also bad. Honestly, you have to rely on heuristics in your deps. How active is the project?

This is not really an apt comparison because the commitment to a movie theater is pretty minimal. If you spend $1000 on a phone, you're stuck there for a while. Most of these issues don't become immediately obvious right when you

It is entirely possible for there to be a pipeline problem, and also for behavior like the one described in the post to bias recruiting. Two things can be true.
