You are right. Looks like it is just trying different permutations of the compiler flags, not actually trying to generate optimization proofs using machine learning. The latter is what my comment is aimed at.

Programming is concrete. Programmers have to reliably determine if their code will halt or not to make functioning software. Mathematics is concrete and mathematicians have to reliably create new consistent axioms to expand our mathematica

Programming is one of the most obvious. Mathematics is another. Human success in both is easiest to explain if we are halting oracles of some variety, albeit not perfect, but still transfinite.

ML cannot solve the halting problem.

Hah! Great point. The bourgeoisie like to use us proles as a pretext for their shenanigans.

It could also be the case the human mind transcends computation, i.e. a transfinite, yet limited, halting oracle, and as such is logically impossible to reduce to a Turing machine. To insist this is not the case merely based on materialism

There is also a well motivated reason for evangelism. If it is true there is an eternal life available of absolute wonder, it seems supremely selfish to keep news of this to one's self. So if someone sincerely believes they have the

Theism is distinct from a particular form of theism. I know someone created my computer even though I know nothing about the person. Different people may have different theories about the identity of my computer creator, all of which may

I have a co-worker who does this, and everyone likes him, especially the boss, since he will jump on anything and get it done. He also seems to work really long hours and weekends, even though he has a family. He also does not seem to wan

In one job I was a tech lead, and said no to my boss a lot to maintain my team's focus. We ended up delivering, the boss was pleased, my teammates were happy, and I got a raise.

I compared human models to xgboost models. The latter were much more complex, completely incomprehensible to humans, but the former were simple and understandable. I think human generated models is a promotion sing and significantly under

I believe the ENCODE project has shown the junk dna hypothesis is not clearly true. A large portion of the genome codes for something, somewhere above 70 percent, even if most of it doesn't create proteins directly. As an analogy, a p

Absolutely brilliant. Ever since taking ML classes in MSc and then again in PhD I have wondered why no machine learning approach ever applies such an obvious technique. And most real world datasets are probably adequately addressed with t

So we went from heavily left to middle of the road for a few decades to back to left? Sounds like reversion to normal state of affairs.

Fallacious parts of an argument cannot contribute to its soundness. Fallacies either contribute untrue premises or invalid deductions, such as affirming the consequent. This is a matter of fact.

I've noticed a trend where if a study has unpleasant conclusions the people trot out correlation does not imply causation. On the other hand, a study with a pleasant conclusion is taken as evidence for causation in a preferable direct
