Are you saying this because you work as a data scientist and this is personal experience (that the field is booming), or are you saying this because this is what you've heard? I tend to hear from actual data scientists that the field i

There are plenty of people who've worked 10 years in software (who are in their mid-30s) who've stagnated for the last 8 years. It's perfectly possible to compete even with people your own age within a year or so if you just

I did the same but it worked for me (said hn), why didn't it work for the parent but it did for me?

The realization that you see the world from other perspectives, grow them in your brain by reading, totally destroyed my childhood idea that life was all about experiencing a series of cool stuff. For me, life is about growing intellectuall

I still can't shake the feeling that most of these StyleGAN images are cleverly overfitting and just showing the face of an already existing cat in its training data. (But would love to be proven wrong!)

When I first read this article it felt terribly old. An article from 10 years ago? That's ancient! Now it's almost 20 years old and for some reason it feels a lot fresher today than it did even back then. (Maybe history starts to

This still exists, you just need to know where to look.

Funny thing is that even to this day, most AI companies employs algorithms no sophisticated than in this almost 20-year old article.

Ok, but then that makes this a purely theoretical paper about something already pretty well known. Almost all interesting problems that DNNs are solving nowdays are some kind of classification problem (or with finite discrete outputs), whic

I haven't read the paper, but how can that be true when the polynomials produced by polynomial regression always converge at the "edges" (taking x far left or far right) to either positive or negative infinity (unless the pol

Now the hard part will be finding a way to be disruptive/innovative after so many years of monotonous work and so much time being brainwashed by the solopreneur propaganda/filter bubble.

Maybe business networking isn't overrated, but the way you form connections (shallow vs deep) that is the problem.

What's an example of the most impressive article written by a bot, in your opinion (fellow HN reader)?

You wouldn't introduce the acronym "omg" since what it stands for is so well known. I'd argue the same is true in this scenario.

Linguistically updating the instructions every 25 years seems a little unnecessary. We have plenty of documents from 1500 that scholars have little problem parsing.

I love HNs little obsessions. Lead causing aggression is one of them. I feel like I've seen links about it for years, and I'm not sure I've clicked a single one of them.

It baffles me that 182 people have upvoted this. I must really be out-of-touch with a large portion of the HN audience because not a word of this report makes sense to me. What's the deal? And what introductory books (or blogs) would H

I don't believe that for a second, it totally sounds like a conspiracy.

Imagine the irony if that wasnt't the intent, but articles like this have now placed the idea in the heads of facebook engineers.

I don't think it's written to be interesting I think it's written as propaganda, ehm, I mean to raise awareness.

I think this is wishful thinking. It'd be neat if there was incentive on both sides of the debate, to bet both against and for the idea that climate change will happen. Unfortunately that's not how it is: the real direction of the

You're supposed to diversify your portfolio by betting on uncorrelated things. Betting both that something will go up and down is like placing money on both red and black, it doesn't make you any richer.

It's probably exaggeration for effect.

You can sit on the computer all day and experience a wide variety of things. And you can be outside for a day and not experience much new at all.
