My oblique strategies deck is my most prized desk doodad. I don’t reach for it often but I never regret when I do.

C code is being replaced by Rust fast. The only limit is how quickly programmers can become good at Rust. It's already happening.

The counter argument is that the Academy reports to no one but themselves and can set whatever standard they want for their own award show.

> data to be stored within the CPU I don’t know anything about CPU design. Am I wrong to read this line and be worried about memory access vulnerabilities like have been found with Intel CPUs?

I didn’t claim that the way brains work didn’t include statistical inference. That’s why the dog metaphor works. Both the dog and the machine learning model use statistical inference to perform tricks. Dogs haven’t been to the moon, however

Yes, it’s widely believed that statistical inference is a part of how the brain operates. But we have barely scratched the surface in our understanding how the human brain works. Do you honestly believe statistical inference completely expl

by teej 6y ago
That’s the thing. Machine Learning is a misnomer, the models don’t “learn” anything about the domain they operate in. It’s just statistical inference. A dog can learn to turn left or to turn right for treats. But they don’t understand the c

This is an argument for UBI, not against the subscription business model.

That's absurd. Humans do not lose all executive decision making just because the pixels on their phone are in the shape of a nipple. See also: NYT, Substack, Patreon.

Frankly, I've seen little evidence that subscription fatigue exists beyond a handful of complains in HN links and comments. The meteoric growth of Onlyfans demonstrates the opposite - that there's huge demand for subscriptions and

I experienced all of these issues with JVM<->Python interop with Parquet. It does not surprise me that they extend to Arrow as well. It’s incredibly frustrating to say the least.
