A lot of speculation here, but the real reason is likely a mix of export control (ITAR) and proprietary components. Essentially, anything that could potentially be used in a missile is very tightly controlled technology and is difficult to

I signed up for GeForce Now, and truly the killer feature is bringing the games you already own. On Stadia, you have to buy the games separately on top of the streaming subscription, and Luna (Amazon's offering) is similar in that you

HN gets frothing mad about javascript, and to some extent I agree: sites that are fundamentally about content (news websites, blogs, etc.) should not be locked behind JS gates. The amount of code bloat on those pages tends to be related to

Admittedly, the `|>` javascript syntax is complicated by unclear async behavior. I'm excited for it, though, and if the partial application syntax `func(a, ?)` gets ratified then we'll have a nice concise way of describing oper

You can use an uninterpretable model in conjunction with a post-hoc explainer—and in fact, this is most often how explainers are used. This gives you the best of both worlds: powerful models and auditability for their decisions.

Regarding accurate labels, a lack of appropriate or sufficient labeling will knock over your model regardless of how powerful your model is (interpretable or not). This is where other benefits of model interpretation come in—you can spot po

R Guidotti et. al[0] wrote a good literature survey on black-box explainers, and contains a summary table on page 20 of the current state of the art. In terms of designing NN-based ML, the above paper has some info and this paper by S Teso[

As a counterargument: it's precisely because of high-dimensional statistical learning that interpretability is a valuable trait. Yes, the power of modern ML is that it can handle situations that the designers did not explicitly design

This comment comes up every time weboob is mentioned, but it'd probably see much better adoption if it was named anything other than "we boob". It's a bit of an off-putting name.

It's kind of a moot point with more and more android phones being produced with a locked-down bootloader as well—preventing any kind of OS upgrade after the manufacturer abandons it after a year (or 18 months if you're lucky).
