Well if you want to make these sorts of comparisons why not ban cars (cause lots of death, including children) and firearms (accidental shootings alone probably make magnets look like...well toys). If you ban stuff at some point someone has

What I don't get is...why don't governments simply declare that all research at publicly funded universities must be made available to the public. It's seems so trivial. You pay the researchers, you get the research results,

This is very likely not an accident but by design. For a good popsci read on similar topics I can recommend "Predictably Irrational, Revised: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions".

My counterclaim would be that doing ML in code is actually easier these days than doing stuff in Excel (and a 1080 is sufficient). So why not solve the problem with a sufficiently easy to use tool? Your other point is valid. If it can be so

I'll play devils advocate and disagree. I'll claim that deep learning is the greatest hammer I have seen in my lifetime and it can tackle all nails you throw at it (universal approximation theorem). Additionally it is easy to app

As a non-native speaker I would say it is absolutely necessary. You can get through university without it and you can probably get a job in your country without it but you really shouldn't. Never ever write code in non-English. I hate

I have nothing to say other than that I loved DL1 and I'll dive into DL2 right away. I really like the overall philosophy ("see DL is approachable and doable, just do it") and I love that they encourage you to read papers eve

Pretty much this. However I think that you can actually get pretty far with cleaning a surprisingly small subset of data and just quickly tossing together a prototype. Talking to people helps a lot. "Ok so you have this and that data..

The article doesn't convince me. It can be summarized as "don't overengineer" but quite frankly these days ML/DL is so easy to apply from a technical point of view (taking care of the data or fully grasping the thin

I you find yourself wondering how math heavy programming is before diving in...just start programming and ignore the math. You'll get by just fine. There's libraries for everything. Yes int theory you need to know some math to kno

The main problem is that most other systems have their own biases. A typical suggestion I hear a lot goes along the lines of "if in doubt, let a human make the decision". If you think about ML in say a school context it's lik

This is not necessarily the case everywhere and for all legal forms. In Germany there's a "Unternehmergesellschaft" which only requires assets of 1 Euro. It is supposed to turn into a GmbH eventually by accumulating 25k in as

There's a chapter on Bayesian stuff (maybe more, the book is at home) in "AI a Modern Approach" so I'd say the answer is yes. I remember it vividly because they use a dentist/toothache example :P I know "it&#x2

I'm not an artist. Krita, Inkscape, Gimp, Blender is a pretty great combination of tools to wiggle along as a programmer. Congrats on 4.0. Great work.

The general idea of a secretary does make economic sense. In theory it's good if a professor spends more time researching/teaching and less time typing stuff and managing their appointments. I'm a generalist and would feel ra

I think the Harvard part matters at least a tiny bit. A Harvard medical degree means your opportunity cost to do the startup thing is (marginally imo) higher than if you had a Cal State Fullerton medical degree. And obviously the storyline

I suppose a bit of methods nitpicking is in order. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to use equivalence testing if one wants to write a statement like "Indeed, statistical significance testing revealed no difference between studen

Well yes the term tea is used "in the wrong way" a lot and one could argue that it is common enough that it's the right usage these days (language evolves etc.). But technically tea is only from camelia sinensis varieties. So
