From what I've seen, we have failed utterly in protecting vulnerable people. The focus on blanket lockdowns and enforcing silly rules has distracted from hygiene measures that actually could have kept vulnerable people safe. Where I am

> In the US, they have – at best – protected the "non-essential" class from COVID, while exposing the essential working class to the disease. The lockdowns are trickle down epidemiology. I wish this got more attention. The whol

If you haven't already, take a look at the detectron2 models and tutorials, especially the colab they have. It is a great way to get started. https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2

I'm a big ML proponent, both because of work and personal interest. Saying it is like electricity is idiotic, and only makes false expectations about ML worse. But I would not say that makes it uninteresting. Nor does it make it irrele

Haha yes, saw it on my phone and had to hold it back from my face and rotate it back and forth to make sure it wasnt just my imagination.

I don't know if this qualifies as a "dark pattern", but this kind of "social proof" feature that the article is about buying really is hostile to consumers and is nothing to be proud about buying.

I don't see this solving anything. Paid work involves a meeting of the minds between the buyer and the person doing the work. This is why e.g. busking is not work, it is dressed up begging, regardless of whether the performers consider

Yes I've found that too, and I regret I did not read more literature when I was younger. I'm objectively highly educated (phd in electrical engineering) but at some point realized I was pretty hollow outside of some narrow special

Your point is much closer to the articles main question, which I understand to be "should you force yourself to read the classics" as opposed to "sould you consider reading classic literature".

Google's job is to get people to click on ads, and preserve their position by keeping a big portion of the world's elite tech talent well fed and docile.

This made me think a bit - I imagine most of the polarization these days comes from a vocal minority of either side, and that 95%+ of people are much more relaxed about politics (and still have a sense of humour) than we imagine from the me

I'm confused by the angle this "institute" seems to have about manipulating social / political discourse. (In that its weird to be providing these communication frameworks at the same time as actively using them for a ag

Thank you! Has there been any study of variability in these activation images - like are there many disconnected local maxima depending on the initialization, or how they vary with retraining the network (or e.g. with dropout, etc), or vary

I dont think anybody's arguing whether companies should worry about theft. My earlier comment was that companies should not be using their concern about theft as justification for treating their employees like criminals, and subjecting

Yes I fly, but I'm a normal looking white man, frequent flyer so I know how to pack and how to behave, and I've never had a problem with airport security. I feel the same way about flying as in my earlier comment, nobody should ha

The money is important but I think it would be nice to find a way that people don't have to undergo this kind of indignity. I'm normally a pretty libertarian person, but I definitely recognize how lucky I am that I dont have to be

I would love to be able to pay for a professional GPS where I'm not the product. Unfortunately, what Waze has going for it is the community aspect, I don't see a way that could be replaced in a paid product. So Google may be ruini

I was thinking the other day about what books and movies I need to save for my kids before they are all censored. It's really sad that availability is limited by people's sensitivity, and now that so much is subscription based, it

I've stopped using amazon for anything unless either I already know exactly what it will be or if its throwaway and I dont care. Even books now are often something that looks like it was printed on photocopy paper from a word processor

Not sure who you're responding to that advocated for that. But the closest I can see is the original post suggesting the that people join a protest group. Lobbying the government to force others to behave as you want, and not proposing

I would argue the opposite, that its mainly a technical problem that has been coopted by a political movement. The technical problem should be (roughly), how can we continue to enjoy our lives and the standard of living we have achieved, an

Thanks, that's very interesting to hear. I wonder if / how the concerns will change for different use cases, e.g KYC. It may also be a question of educating users about the things they should care about.

Thanks for the answer. What I should have asked first is, do you think this is something that's important to your users, or are they happy to accept that there is research and engineering behind it that has concluded it is reliable and

Pour water into a maze (or create a potential difference across a conductor) and you'll see that as new current flows in, it doesnt explore every pathway but takes the correct path through. This intelligent behavior arises from the sim

I think B is just a symptom of the complete failure of (many) business people to understand what ML is or what it is good at. It starts with people equating "AI" with something they've seen in a movie and working backwards, a

A couple things: 1. as I understand, GPT-x are trained on generic datasets. Why would anyone expect it could just be repurposed for a domain specific task, without additional fine tuning? Same as a lot of vision models are trained on Image
