Indeed. I'm the seemingly rare creature who was able and willing to jump through all the IRC hoops but can still understand the people who maybe can't but certainly won't.

I find honesty gets misunderstood pretty often, like I must still have some angle but they just can't figure out what it is.

Mostly anything a human can test, a machine can test even if it requires end-to-end UI-automation integration testing. If there's a test that's part of the suite that is worth running every time something changes, it's simply

In my experience, no, they cannot exercise judgment and an absolute system has to be in place. In theory, could informed, intelligent, rational actors without ulterior motive do so, sure. I'd sleep on a couch and eat ramen for the chan

In the context of my life right now, this makes me pretty sad. Seeing effort, ingenuity and engineering leap the many hurdles of that era and build something that still seems remarkable to me because of prolonged exposure to the lack of tal

Yeah, simulated annealing as to the order to place objects in is probably optimal for non-trivial values of n. Also, determinism can often be important and stochastic doesn't have to mean non-deterministic - seed the RNG.

Could probably train a network to look at the marbling and determine the deformation within decent bars with enough before/after shots. Might put some pounds on generating the training set though...

Definitely. But if the Japanese usage is as a proper noun, you can translate it and still use it as such. We do this with native words all the time - lower-case agile vs capital Agile, for instance. The question isn't whether or not we

I know this is off topic, but I wonder why we use Japanese like this. jugyo = lesson, kenkyu = research. If we absolutely must make it into a proper noun, some kind of brand to sell, how about just "Lesson Research" instead of Jug

It wouldn't maximize fear response in humans, only in the neural net that results from the training set. If we get to where we can simulate human neural nets (and identify the "scary" neurons) then we could perform gradient d
