I would very much like to have a small discussion on this if you don’t mind sharing your thoughts on the following: What would be the ground truth for some notion of smartness level? It could certainly be subjective, sure, but could you ple

Please refrain from name calling and personal attacks. It would be really great if you can elaborate your point. For example, why do you think it is nonsense? What line of argument or examples can you provide to make your point? Here’s an e

You need to provide evidence for your claims, specially more if you’re going to trow around numbers. For example why 95%? Why not 5%? Or why not 80%? Please understand that unsubstantiated comments are not constructive for a fruitful discus

Nope, the oppressors destroyed the native culture, robbed them off their wealth, social structures, and (however) evolved systems of institutions while leaving no venue for the colonized people to prosper. Few who managed to survive and cli

No, I don’t suppose we’re in a similar situation. In your example, the mailer would leave a paper trail or more importantly one would expect such a mailer to disclose who’s sending them. Secondly, the scale and efficiency with which one cou

Lets not forget the non Kolmogorovian notion of probability - or quantum mechanics. I personally believe that we would want to accommodate a more generalized notion of probability to significantly improve our statistical models of the world

I don’t know if I would call regulations mundane work. In fact regulations are one of the most convoluted and more often than not ad-hoc pieces of requirements that could most certainly benefit from a DSL. On the other hand, linear algebra

Yes. Data only sims are just like your regular simcards except you pay to NOT make any calls from it. The rest everything works the same from a technical point of view.

I tried the oculus rift at an FB event for the first time and I was not impressed. I didn’t feel like “wow” but more like “cool, this is nice”. Perhaps I had high expectations and maybe I need to try once more. I thought the VR experience c

Thanks! This list may not be representative of “all free online tools” but is sufficient for the context. Perhaps the common thread amongst all of them is that they are served over the interweb. And I wonder what’s the use case? Edit: typo

What about privacy? How about: 5) ISP's must tell consumers in plain English that no information will be stored or used for any other purpose than providing the user with internet connectivity.

The fakebox doesn’t detect fake news, it detects articles which are factual/real and everything else is labeled as “fake”. Where’s the dataset? How did you verify the ground truth? Where are the annotation/labeling guidelines? Wha
