What makes you think these skills aren't being taught?

The classical definition of AI in CS is so broad as it can even include expert systems. I think using that term when the general public sees it differently has done a great disservice to the fields credibility.

Then go and use the right tool for the right job. I'm not suggesting neural networks are a panacea. I've worked with time-series problems recently and not used NN. NN not being good at one class of problems does not invalidate the

Why shouldn't inflation be considered a tax? It's a major reason for lack of social mobility, i.e. keeping the poor poor without them even knowing it. The end result is the dollars end up in government pockets, so what's the

Race aside, you can make this argument for any social strata. Gender, race, nationality, social class, etc... I don't believe most models will perform very different with a balanced training set.

Free speech is how civil rights are won. It is a prerequisite for a positive change.

It's been a long time since I've looked at integrating ads on a website, but there are far better ways to do it than just throwing up a script tag nowadays. Have you looked into those?

I'm not sure that trend holds. Most banking apps let you send tens of thousands in one go. They're very aggressive with the "are you sure?" question in my experience though.

Doesn't transfer learning level the playing field a bit? We already have excellent, off-the-shelf models for NLP, computer vision, ODT, etc... that just need fine-tuning for a particular business or domain problem. I think the 'hu

I don't know, inference from data is literally how all decisions are fundamentally made. Why wouldn't it be possible to create models that learn this particular pattern?

Two things can be true: 1) The NHS is free at-the-point of delivery, funded through taxes, much like schools and roads 2) That does not mean I owe them the right to unilaterally give away my data

by throwaway3699 5y ago
Not really. The NHS is a function of life, as much as a publicly owned road or school. I don't owe it anything.

I think we should try to avoid it at all costs, because otherwise we can't keep a liberal society. Being able to think and express yourself risks offending others. I do not like what this guy had to say, but I'd rather he not get

I don't mind ads, only have an issue with performance and tracking. My browsing habits are such that very occasionally I stumble upon a website full of ads and it's startling.

That all happens on the GPU. Do task managers show memory for both?

Implementing software updates where you don't want to ship entire binaries again (and only the diff) would be one. In some video games the assets are also packed into massive binaries, so you don't want to ship gigabytes of data b

Not really, the US military in particular has a lot of slack that could easily be funded into cyber stuff. I would bet there's plenty of (digital) offensive capability in the US so maybe it should be used?

How many exploits are because of the Linux kernel, and not userspace software? No kernel will protect you running public ElasticSearch with "username" and "password01" as the credentials.

IT can't be looked at as a cost center anymore. The constant pressure of cost reduction is what causes these failures to happen in the first place, because nobody running the infrastructure really cares. If something goes wrong, they&

Well, I mean, people used to feel queasy after classic FPS games back in the day, but generally people adapted. I expect VR will be similar.

The religious right was also wrong. The 90s were abhorrent. But that doesn't excuse current behaviour from the left today.

Why does this statement sound sexist? Is it true? I feel like I should disagree on principal, but honestly I've remotely no idea if this is true or false. I thought the data was that there are differences, but they're so small tha

The internet isn't like that. You can be attacked from one individual living in a mountain in another hemisphere.

The sickness thing has been solved on the hardware side. It's only software that is the issue. Remember when FPS games would never take off because they gave people motion sickness?

No, but unlike NFTs, it's actually worth something.

Keep it as a secondary option then? Or, at worst, have every state or county independently write the software for their machines so they won't all be compromised. A scalable way of breaking an election is dangerous. Even a mobile app t

Software complexity is hard to tackle because it's really the underlying business complexity that's being modelled, which is usually beurocratic, Byzantine-like. See the recent post on why the Uber app is so large: https:/&#

Most people are still not sold on January being an insurrection, FWIW. People thought they were going to a political rally, not to murder senators. Things just got out of hand because lunatics decided to storm the building. Why else would t
