I believe you, but that's depressing

I think this is a bit of a false dichotomy. Yeah wasting away in a factory for 12 hours a day is better than starving to death on a farm, but still, the factory conditions didn't have to suck as bad as they did.

I think they are slaves to a degree if they are illegal immigrants, which I suspect many of them are. This is the dirty trick played by many big businesses in the US. "You'll get your low wage and you'll like it, or else.&quo

Is this supposed to make me feel better? Lol

If you understand machine learning well, you'll probably do well in the interview.

I think this will only end when the gamers start boycotting Microsoft.

There's some truth to this. A minimum wage is a blunt instrument that can end up causing more harm than good. If the goal is to raise wages, I think there's better ways of doing it. Maybe with some kind of tax code reform.

It's troubling that these business models aren't viable unless you pay the drivers less than $15 an hour. Especially with no benefits. That is very little these days.

I gave it above, you're just too dense to even begin to try to understand what I mean. If you have a specific question I'm more than happy to try and answer it.

I've taken several graduate courses in statistics. That's how I know this makes no sense at all.

Your claim is that saying "people think" is meaningless? Maybe you don't think (seems to be the case), but I certainly do.

Your definition of thinking is designed to fit AI. You set the bar low, and then get giddy when it jumps over. "Progress of scientific theory" is just a meaningless phrase that makes your claim sound authoritative when it isn&#x27

It pretends to be a philosophy paper. If they wanted to talk about computation, they would use terms that communicate that clearly. But they're using words that confuse the two fields. I didn't do that, the author did.

I think you need religion

That's not what it is, and it's not what I stated.

Correlation is the inference I draw from my experience? That's one of the more nonsensical things I've ever heard.

Are you serious?

I think people just get mad when they're reminded of this obvious fact. They want computers to prove that our minds are an illusion, the product of a "meat computer".

No, it's not "basically" that at all.

Abstracting immaterial concepts from physical reality and deliberately using them in analytical or deductive processes to discover truths.

Billions of neurons don't think, people do.

There are no real neurons in a neurons in a neural network.

What are you upset with me for? The authors are using the misleading language, not me. Take it up with them.
85.
by silent_cal 3y ago
Neural networks do not think

What is your salary expectation?
87.
by silent_cal 3y ago
I think experienced engineers are probably "spoiled" by super-high salaries. Nothing lasts forever. Maybe try asking for less than 200k?

My experience is false? Ok..

That could be. However I think the language barrier is also a significant factor. But of course there is nothing inherently problematic about offshore developers.

In my experience there is a correlation there. Low-cost outsourced code is generally pretty bad.
