The dichotomy of interest isn't really NNs vs GAs but about stochasticity vs determinism. The user/player doesn't care which it is until they learn to see the patterns and to reliably exploit the rules. Once you notice these

this is the level where pedantry and vagueness seem to coincide -- we can get so pedantic about what is or is not a synonym of "statistical learning" that we end up deconstructing language itself.

another way to articulate that dichotomy is through the lens of industrial vs financial modes of capitalism.

the story goes, we let people run amok in markets because they're "self-correcting". the reality is, we continue to ignore the effect of delayed corrections and what damage might be incurred in the interim.

Hybrid models are almost certainly the future, i.e., developing structural equations and filling in data or modeling gaps with relatively small NNs for approximation.

which makes all this commentary all the more appalling. rationalism requires more than poorly-informed guesses. rationalism allows for the distinct and non-negligible possibility that surveys are gamed by manipulating the wording of the que

Amazing, the things everyone said about Musk's leadership is true. When warning of "election interference" he just wanted to be the one interfering.

They can demand, and you can refuse. However if you have Face ID or other biometric measures, they can (legally) force your finger onto the sensor or hold the phone up to your face to unlock it for their needs. Passwords are personal data,

If you've heard any hubbub about "infrastructure bills" in the past couple decades that's because a lot of the maintenance for the infrastructure we built then is coming due. Things age. But money today is not as cheap a

Why are you so narrowly focused on price? Why not utilization, or coverage?

Reductionist, inflammatory, naive. The libertarian trifecta...

Seems like a bastardization of the concept of "planned". Obviously pricing and subsidies come into play but that doesn't prevent the result from still being a market-based approach. You will not find a single capitalist who d

No one said anything about planning economies. I am only advocating a realistic understanding of markets. > Deregulate and totally privatize housing and roads and people will vote with their dollars Your lack of acknowledgment of the ro

For the discerning reader: every single expert disagrees vociferously with this take. The economics simply do not work to make this sustainable. Let's not forget how expensive basic infrastructure is just because it's normalized.

It's pretty hard to believe they don't also regularly use endoscopes on random or suspicious packages when there's a little space to insert one.

"instead" is the operative word here. It's commentary on priorities and reactionary attitudes. Please don't inflame the conversation with more combative language.

There are ways things can be computers that don't require the typical setup of a von Neumann architecture. Psilocybin taught me that. My education and subsequent studies confirmed that.

Sounds like what it really is, is the largest prompt injection testing platform possible. Kids everywhere will be learning nothing except how to hack these chatbots to get passing grades.

One of the most frustrating things about all the documentation on Transformers is the sole emphasis on NLP. In particular, one of the most interesting parts of the Transformer architecture to me is the attention mechanism which is permutat

All machine learning is just embedding of various forms. If you have a way to translate disparate types of data into a common space, in ways that preserve inductive bias and information content, you can then combine them for downstream task

"Sinister" is a red herring. Negligence is as bad as malice because consequences do not change depending on intended outcomes.

Again, how is that relevant? Are you familiar with the arguments made in Bullshit Jobs ? What people get paid is not really part of the discussion.
506.
by uoaei 2y ago
That's not really relevant. Whether a job needs to be done, and who benefits, is orthogonal to what it pays.

I pray to the clickbait gods that it is something more interesting than rust, but, alas, our punishment is eternal and the reason is just what you thought it was.

I mean, overstated levels of intelligence aside, who thought it was more appropriate to model the geosciences in natural language vs, oh, I don't know, physics and chemistry?
