I'm not saying "don't go learn ML because it's garbage", I'm criticizing Cuban's argument, particularly that the singularity is coming and it's going to replace programmers tomorrow. I gave good reaso

Specifically, "what is it?" is a weird question. People have been answering it in increasing detail for a long time and it still frustrates us. First it's elements, then atoms, then a stew of protons and neutrons, which happe

It's worth noting that ML doesn't just mean neural networks - those just get the most hype. I'm also curious if you could give an example of traditional models (presumably logreg, SVM, decision forest/trees) outperform

As I recall, most math majors don't even appreciate math in the deep, comprehensive way until the second half of undergrad. It wasn't 'til Complex Analysis my sophomore year that I really began to understand that I was studyi

Meant that as a joke, mate. Humor isn't known for traveling well on the web.

Did you my point about it being complicated and cramped? It seems like you're saying the same thing, so please, don't come at me with this "makes absolutely no sense" hyperbole.

A lot of the time it seems like Apple just changes things on iOS just because , not because there's actually any tangible benefits to doing so. The UI changes for Messages iOS 10 is a perfect example - it feels cramped and complicated

Substance abuse is generally regarded as a form of mental illness and is often comorbid with depression or anxiety disorders. It's not totally unfair to lump them, after all it is way easier do die from dangerous drugs than (purely) fr

This perspective is a bit uncharitable towards metaphysics - there are rules in that game as well. You're still not allowed to ask logically inconsistent questions or twist words into nonsense and expect to be taken seriously. For inst

I found the author's chauvinism unbearable: dismissing nihilism and eternalism as "obviously wrong" throughout just re-raised the same question in me every time - why? I'll start with something that absolutely made me ne

I think you're reading into the question a bit much - it's just asking "What's the best city for Devs without a Degree?" Granted, having a why is really nice. So here goes: I'm not sure I agree with OP's a

I'd assume the sensors can do a couple things - sense your proximity to your goods (the closest) and sense the difference in time between when you leave and when your goods leave (the smallest). I'd also assume that they use logic

I have a feeling the stores on 5th Ave would be less optimistic. Like I said - I think this idea is an eventuality in such dense urban centers.

I suggest that we build elevated walkways covering every busy street in (lower) Manhattan. You know it's going to happen someday , so why not get it over with. And then we'll be one step closer to Coruscant. I'm envisioning

Yeah, that's a tough question that we as a society will have to wrestle with. Knowing that humans are imperfect drivers as well doesn't make it any easier. Even cars today have crippling safety flaws -- remember that one Lexus mod

I like that you reduced that to a one-liner, and I understand your point. I sure as hell wouldn't hook my car up to this software. But I also feel like you're being a bit hasty. Obviously a Python script isn't going to turn i

I'm not really following. If it works then why not use a control loop on top of Python? We are engineers, after all.

On the contrary, I took meticulous notes and also aced my math degree. Part of grokking (for me) is taking the words someone else is saying, jumbling them up in my head, and turning them into coherent sentences. Additionally, a lot of the m

I too went to a bootcamp and spent about 3 months searching for a job afterwards. I didn't study anything. I let my bootcamp knowledge get written to disk and freed up more room for new stuff. I drank a lot of beer and went hiking in t

That's awesome, I was going to recommend Sleep too in that post but opted not. Nothing kills midday stress like Dopesmoker. Electric Wizard works great too.

I have the same problem. Try listening to really long (unpwards of 10 minutes) songs or albums that really flow together. You want to avoid distraction and listen to things that are repetitive and don't require you to lose focus and fi

Ironically, the Federal Government still ends up paying the price despite all of their efforts. I know around 10 top tier programmers who use drugs of some sort, have left of mainstream politics or just don't fit the "government w

Yeah, let's invest a bunch of money in this city that's going to be underwater in ~50 years. I imagine it'd work to just build upstate a ways instead of focus so much energy on the parts of the city directly facing the water.

Yeah, just "become a criminal" and enjoy life in one of our nation's beautiful, gleaming prisons. This kind of faith in the system is highly disturbing to me.

I'm curious why this field hasn't been "privatized" to some degree. Why doesn't division of labor apply? Why not have scientists go off and do their research and rely on a team that is skilled at hoarding grants or

Until Pete Townsend gets a medical degree I'm disinclined to just take his word for it.
