The article actually seems to agree with you. The advice seems to be "as long as you're writing, you're allowed to call yourself a writer. don't have an ethereal unachievable standard that needs to be reached first befor

1) I don't think this is an apt analogy. The GPT danger argued here is less a "GPT missile gap" one, and more of a "Skynet / HorizonZeroDawn" one. Openness makes the latter scenario less likely. 2) There's

I get the argument, but the absolute dichotomy is misplaced, if not a bit disingenuous. There's nothing stopping regulation of closed-source commercial AI, while promoting academic and opensource use conforming to ethical guidelines.

Not AI as a whole. Particular activities to do with AI which would generally be deemed not only dangerous, but also not having any clear non-malicious purpose. So if there was a strawman argument here at all, it's literally the one you

No, in this scenario, the MCC will generally give a misleadingly higher value to the larger machine, since it takes into account the higher number of true negatives. In this scenario, this makes it a bad metric. Obviously, a 100% perfect se

Am I the only one who finds argbash unnecessarily complicated? For my own needs, I rely on a tiny function I wrote, called process_optargs. Example use: source /path/to/process_optargs source /path/to/err

Consider two xrays and the output of an algorithm that tries to outline the lungs. Suppose that one xray was taken in a larger machine, and therefore has more negative space around the lungs. Also suppose that the algorithm delineated the l

Maybe this says more about how I personally use this, but I dont consider FIXME labels to denote technical debt per se. It mostly denotes a "will implement later' top-down prioritisation strategy regarding order of implementing th

It's not a weakness; it's a feature. One that makes it the better choice in situations where negative space should in fact be ignored. (comparing chest xrays are a typical example in medical imaging)

I didn't say I disagreed with you, let alone I approve of this situation. The point was that utopian idealism that ignores reality on the ground is not as useful as you might think. Your comment was as useful as me saying if I was pres

Yes, this is why I didn't want to migrate without leaving a trace on github. The redirecting README on github is a good compromise, I think. Having said that, it may be worth thinking what is the price we may be paying as a community f

Maybe you do that. But my HR department which made me write "publish X papers in top-tier journals (see list)" as a condition in my probation agreement most certainly does not. And alas, as long as I'm under probation, the

I have moved all my repositories to sourcehut. They are generally mirrored by a github repository consisting of a single README file explaining the new location for the project, and my reasons for the migration. However, given sourcehut esc

The problem isn't how you, an engineer, perceives the tool could be useful. The problem is how your CEO, not an engineer, perceives the tool could be useful.

In other words: My definition of X which I interpret as Y, and is not what is usually grnerslly understood by X, is bad. Therefore, I propose alternative practice Z which is better than my Y (and also happens to be what people generally und

This is less about 'self-supervised' learning, and more about ground truth. I see a variant of this in medical AI. E.g. people generate 'fake' augmented Brain MRI datasets using image processing tricks, in order to provi
