I agree. The real low hanging fruit is not new research, but to make the easy, basic first or second year graduate math understandable in the context of ML.

To a trained mathematician, deep learning is so so far away from the cutting edge. If there's anything that's going to make a massive, revolutionary not evolutionary, change in the deep learning landscape, it's not going to c

You should default to having no strong opinion at all.

Dismissing it based on nothing more than a feeling, and no data, is just as irrational as homeopaths.

Having the option to live in an echo chamber also means we have the option to pick the wise and rational sources from which to listen to. Whereas before when TV and the local community supposedly was the source of diversity of thought, did

Is there any data about the tendency towards of beta rhythms vs not in different cultures around the world?

I want to reduce how much time I spend on the internet, but it's awesome stuff like this that keeps me coming back.

The work of finding exploits to these algorithms probably requires less talent than the work of researching and implementing them.

Is there any good sequence of moocs to let an engineer go from mostly-forgotten high school biology and chemistry to understanding the cutting edge of aging research?

I have a hard time imagining how such a law could be enforced though.

More than any of the AlphaGo stuff, this is actually a way more convincing example that all the deep learning stuff really isn't just hype.

It feels like we're just trying to find something to get pissed off about. No one is forcing anyone to use these services. Everyone is using it by their own volition.

Good article, but man, no love was given to the math typesetting.

Neural networks, self-organizing maps, genetic programming. It feels like we're back in the 80s.

Technology were created by humans. Language was created by humans. Both are abstractions that keep us from experiencing each other and reality in its true form. Let's not trick ourselves into thinking that we're somehow getting a

So where is the github link that let's us play with this?

I didn't say it was bad (though the tone of my post definitely hinted at it). I agree with you. Following the trail of necessity can easily lead to locally optimal points, away from the global maximum.

I have a hard time shaking the feeling that database innovation is being forced not by necessity, but by a culture of blind relentless change.

Those words are associated to non-costly virtue signalling anyway, so who cares. The NSA can't win. If they let them stay, they're accused of lying, if the remove it, they get this response. I'm kind of neutral on the issue,

This is a really great observation. A lot of the time when people say "but that problem is NP!" is it still likely that you'd be able to solve it by exploiting some structural properties of the specifics.

Part of me wonders why this is even surprising. Aren't the execs the ones with all the control over the power-levers? Why do employees expect to ever get something in situations like this? (I'm trying to look at this from an outsi
