I disagree with that style of writing. Your example sentence comes off as heavily passive voiced rather than sophisticated kindness.

I will admit a love/hate for Access. Namely, from years of teaching Microsoft Office as Intro to Computing. Access was always the section that was hard to convince students they'd ever need and worse yet outright made the class lo

I'd disagree for a wildly "out there" reason. We've been conditioned to assume search should be like Google and so any attempt made by someone else gets compared against Google... but that's a losing battle from the

The only issue I have is that headline is very click-baity, making you think this is some crazy family cult or something. Its weird, but not Texas Chainsaw Massacre / Heaven's Gate weird. The article doesn't detail anything o

While I understand the outrage and fully understand it, I'd like to offer another reason why child faces are in use - sex trafficking. My previous research was in face recognition and mostly in artificial face aging algorithms. One of

Curious they built up so much steam about refuting past notions... but chose a poor method (viewing actor's eyes). Paul Ekman has noted that assessing the emotional state from a single picture is difficult. Not to mention unless using

This is more about using AI in the classroom. Often times family income is a major feature in determining low-performance. Simply not including this in predictive models isn't enough because you may find a proxy feature that is also hi

I heartfelt disagree and believe that people that push this type of belief are the ones that think being skinny is being fit. Further, look at the amount of calories required to be a strong man. To be "in shape" IS about how much

You still seem to confound skinniness and willpower and again, the second link I showed someone well into 40+ BMI changing. Secondly, this article has a few issues as well. The participants are older, which we know is difficult to lose weig

First, I take issue with the cited article because the study referenced in the opening paragraph because they do not provide any discussion over limitations of their study. In particular, that members of the "Biggest Loser" show m

Yes, but the hassle of deleting their email once every few months isn't enough to make suing them worth it. Plus, that doesn't really resolve the issue that requesting to be take off things doesn't actually remove me (the ori

I think there are simply engineers that are fine with the current state of things. You mention specifically "come up with a new way of making money"; however, for extrinsically motivated people, why reinvent the wheel? Problem sol

I "still" live in a hurricane area, but less so than when I lived at the beach. As OP mentions, I only use NOAA's page. Anything else is flair or outright deception [1]. Florence was bad, but the video clearly shows the repor

I primarily use Flask for my research project. It was quick to pick up and honestly, I like a more barebones style - one of the reasons I use Sublime Text over IDEs. Plus Miguel Grinberg's tutorial is fantastic at getting you on your f

NC State's second semester CS course uses a regex model as an example to Finite State Machines; however, I think it's only an example, not a deep dive into it

Right, but my point is what if I want to implement the math? Without deep diving into my research, I disagree with your second sentence entirely. It is why I think we are also seeing the rise in Jupyter notebook still articles - because you

Sure, but if I'm reading a paper that starts to show equations, I can start getting lost. There's no "knowning" their garbage because it gets over-math'd. I get that's a sign of a bad paper, but my only argumen

I think you stumbled exactly into why people say that (including myself) - proofs. With AI, ML, and Data Science becoming hotter and hotter topics, a lot of the material is still VERY mathematical proof heavy. This [1] is an example of unde

This is a current area of research as the prevalence of interactive notebooks has peaked. As of now, they simply "EXIST" and we know we like them. Its still unclear as to why; obviously having code intertwined other common communi
