The article is amazingly petty. Oh, look at me overcomplicate this thing, it's so complicated.
WTF? Did you actually read the article all the way to the end?
Programming is complicated, if it wasn't then everyone would be good at it. If you don't know the first thing about getting into it it's also pretty daunting. Sure there are lots of online resources, but most people here come at those from the point of view of an expert already. Of *course* they look trivially easy. If they didn't you'd be a terrible programmer.
Yep fields do have jargon. Of course they do because jagon is just specialised vocabulary. But it does make it harder for an absolue beginner. That's not really surprising.
In the article, someone who knows zero about programming (i.e. like the majority of all people in the entire world), figures it's important because the whole world runs on it (isn't this exactly the ind of attitude that's popular here?) and has a crack at actually learning it gets stuck then perserveres until he succeeds. Then writes it up for an audience who know literally nothing about programming.
I really can't see why this article is attracting the huge level of vitriol that it seems to be attracting.
There seem to be quite a few people who can only make themselves feel good by shitting on others efforts. I generaly assume they have prodced nothing of worth.
Even if you can upload the image to them to "fingerprint" images are often cropped and converted to other image formats and recompressd which fucks that up. So unless they have some super AI that can detect that from a 2nd generation repost this wont work.
Depends on the fingerprinting technique. They're not all robust to everything, of course, but things like locality sensitive hashing is somewhat robust to things like recompression or mild cropping.
Non-defective returns cost retailers money, retailers are not in the business of loaning out their products.
On the other hand not having physical stores all over the country where customers can actually see the goods before buyig saves them vast amounts of money.
Crowdfunding is like an ICO. It's a way to avoid the critical eye of sane financial investors, and instead attempts to get funding from the least qualified people.
No it isn't. That's perhaps true for some but for others it's so far away it would hard to be further away and still be about money. For some, it's basically a form of patronage. For others it's for a product that would never get invstment because there isn't a big enough market to make it worth investing. For others it's jut wild eyed dreamers.
People are dumb and deserve to be laughed at.
Like you've never made a mistake or misjudged a person before. It makes you happy because you think it reflects well on you. It doesn't make you any smarter.
Yes, philosophically speaking, nothing is proven. But I'd say that for all practical purposes, the case is closed. We've tested QED and relativity to exquisite precision at both higher and lower scales than this device. Sure we know physics isn't compete but not here at small macroscopic scales and low energies.
An equivalent would be Eratosthenese using a very long journey and sticks to measure the size of the earth, it'd be like him stepping through a door in Rhodes and exciting in Egypt.
if it's a reactionless drive more efficient than a photon rocket then at some velocity, it will gain more energy than is put in. That's basically the definition of a perpetual motion machine. At the current claimed efficiency, it would require gravity well deeper than we have access to in order to build such a machine because the velocity required would be so high. But it would still be possible, just not practical.
If you are interested I can describe how a working reactionless drive can be turned into a perpetual motion machine.
Yeah the case is closed, because this machine is equivalent to a perpetual motion machine. If you give me a working EM drive, I can give you back a working perpetual motion machine. Belief in the two is therefore equivalent.
The EM drive, if it works, violates conservation of momentum, which can easily be used to also violate conservation of energy. (/. commenters on previous EM drive stories have gone into this at some length.)
It was hilarious watching the responses to that too. The argument went something like:
1. The device violates conservation of momentum 2. If you arrange it as X and the device works it makes a perpetual motion machine 3. Sice perpetual motion machines are impossible, the device doesn't work.
The response was usually something like "perpetual motion machies don't work so step 2 must be wrong, therefore the device does work". Usually it was accompanied with babbling about "losses".
To complete the circuit the two sattelites have to eject or abosrb electrons from free space. here I think they are using wires in both directions. SO it's different, and not working on the same principle as the tethers do.
It's all just moving electrons: electrons moving in a magnet field experience force. It doesn't matter whether they're free or in a wire.
It's the case with juat about all forms of AI. NNs are certainly opaque. SVMs are no better, and neither is boosting. Some people claim decision trees are better but theyre not.
That's the key difference between AI and humans at the moment. Humans are trained with a massive amount of data from birth courtesy of the senses.
I think that's quite far from being the key difference. DNNs for example have made some surprisingly large strides in performance and one of those has been the ability to chuck almost arbitrarily large amounts of data at them (if you have the data).
But there's no indication they'd do qualitatively better with yet more data. For example, they still do this:
And notice he's Democratic. Supposedly the good guys, according to some.
If you subscribe to the puritanical mindset of utter black and white then yes, if the Republicans are the bad guys then the Democrats must be the good guys. I think at the moment, the Republicans are a lot worse but that doesn't make the Dems "good" in some abstract sense.

Yes, 1843, that sounds about the right year for this article to have been written
You know it's 2018 and most people still don't have the first clue about programming. It's not exactly out of place.

Why do you want to ridicule that?

They're crustaceans not insects. Eating woodlice and pill bugs would be the same since they're crustaceans.

They didn't shoot the perpetator, they shot a complete innocent. The perps are up on charges now.
You've brought up fucking donkes twice now apropos nothing.
Despite my better judgement, I must say I'm kinda curious why.

Had you the wherewithal to express your idea in a form that other people could understand, it would go a long way.
I understood his idea perfectly. He's calling you a hypocrite.
The mistake Ratzo makes, is believing what he wants to be true, same as always.
Ah looks like we found the incel!
As the old adage goes: Women need a reason to have sex, Men need a place. There is a great deal of wisdom in that saying.
That's a young adage, not an old one. Go back a few hundred years and women were considered to be the insatiable lust-monsters.
It's also an extraordinarily stupid agdage as well and manages to be both harmful to women and harmful to men at the same time.
So are ears. Pro Tip:
That won't help.
Don't confuse labia and ears.

I do love armchair lawyering.
So tell me, by what legal theory do you make your claim?

Most ML systems also separate training and inference stages. Humans don't.
