they have been seeing that for months now ( i see it often too on sites that are slow to change). I have not heard anyone complaining about loss of traffic. It's becoming transparent to the users, imho, like the EU cookie prompt.

Scripta manent, as the romans said. Written (digitized) content is so much more important because its objective evidence, not hearsay, so we have to take it more seriously than rumors. This hasn't changed across millenia, i dont see it

I have the same opinion. It's a good chance indeed. Establishment of a common second language would greatly enhance the online market in the future, too.

How can one talk about governance units and not mention safety/army? If there is going to be another form of governance it has to protect its "citizens". Protect from whom and how ? Who will be terrorists, who will be good gu

people would comment if they felt the comment stood on its own and was worthy of a counterarguement. However i feel the author lives in a bubble where ordinary people pay for online things.

OTOH thinking in matrices only may be limiting, as there are potential designs one might want to try (brain-inspired for example) that cant be expressed in matrix operations.

This has nothing to do with understanding backpropagation (which (correct me if i m wrong) is really the core of DL). In fact in the old days backpropagation was all about "propagating the deltas" and nothing about vectorizing.

indeed the most unfamiliar/off-putting part might be the matrix formulation of the designs (and the matching of dimensions), which is not even useful if you are trying to implement a toy example in programming. But you can equally well

Question: What is DL without the math? Network design? Stacking nodes in a graph in arbitrary ways? The days of handcracted design are numbered anyways, so learning DL without the math is not a good long term investment.

I think, beyond your personal story, an issue is that the youth today does not have the economic independence to give their parents the finger when they want to, something that in the past has created socially progressive movements. 3 decad

There's also the sociocultural aspect of it. Weak and economically dependent youth -> conservative values, avoidance of confrontation with parent generations. There is no such thing as the rebelious spirit past generation, and this

I think its fair to say that Hinton's justifications are post-hoc. I think a lot of neural network scientists also do that, as there are many basic components that dont have a biological analogue or even contradict biology, like backpr
