yes noted luddites like yoshua bengio and steve wozniak and elon musk...

considering the bent of this publication towards conservatives I think you are in fact getting it, you're just not primed for outrage

absolutely not...the amount of homophobia and racism and antisemitism and nationalism etc... was pretty intense compared to what you see in most parts of the current internet.

IRC tended towards super edge humor and was a big piece of like early internet culture generators like somethingawful and 4chan.

if you're already doing a job at a company that does this stuff, can you talk to people about wanting to change teams and learn?

This is definitely a take that ignores the massive amount of utility for ML that exists outside of generative images and NLP on the one hand and on the other vastly misrepresents the time it takes to understand a model, assuming one does not already have a background in CS, linear algebra and in particular matrix calculus, probability, stats, etc...

This was one of the first books my advisor told me to read when I started my ML phd a...long time ago. The fundamentals of machine learning haven't changed and it's a great book.

no it does not suggest either of those things

at the lower level - detecting senders trying to send spam is a big one as well as detecting sending / deliverability problems

I'm not familiar with what mailchimp is actually doing with their marketing automation / analytics stuff but you could use "AI" ( or basically statistics in this case ) to analyze the resultant data.

makes you wonder why you couldn't just use bicalutamide which is super cheap relatively.

given the properly transformed space that may very well be true...

ah sigh, I too have some quotes in bash.org qdb.

vacasa laid off a ton of people as well... trying to think of others.

It seems like he was just done - he's been CEO for a long time.

really excellent article! I thoroughly enjoyed it :).

I use green text on a black background in my terminal.

wow posts like this are what make HN still valuable. This was a really interesting look into this situation.

yes we're supposed to fucking solve homelessness.

"Liberalism" is the "hipsters" of modern leftist politics...

I escaped the south 16 years ago and I never want to fucking go back.

Further the bay area is home to many unique cultures that are sadly seriously distressed thanks to the housing situation, yet tenaciously persist as best they can.

yep yep yep this is very much it as well although if you recall it was also around the time when Andrew Ng at google was doing things with DL on massive amounts of computation on CPU with DL too.

so you're saying that this study isn't useful because it confirms pre-existing theories? Do you believe that it is wrong because of specific issues with the experimental design or implementation or because you ideological dislike the results?

There is some good modern medicine, but the fixation on genes handicaps certain investigators. This isn't medicine - this is science. This isn't the development of a treatment but an attempt to understand biology.

Genes are useful because they are far more fixed and they are far easier to measure than many other things that could be measured.

"I think they’re trying to say “it’s not the mother’s fault the kid just has bad genes.”

They're saying non genetically inherited material, such as mRNA or proteins, from the mother was shown to have little impact in their study.

In the real world there are non-genetic causes behind almost all of the symptomatic presentations of children medically-cursed with the diagnosis of “Autistic”.

The causal nature of any complex biological state such as ASD is almost always varied and emergent from many sources and attempting to understand them is useful. It is especially useful to look at genetics because it is (relatively) cheap to get a person's genetics and painless - whereas studying the microbiome is much more difficult and expensive. even the review paper you link to - which has precious little actual research on autism and the microbiome stating

And in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), there are hints that the gut microbiome may play a role. Studies of fecal DNA extracts have found Clostridium or Desulfovibrio clusters over-represented in children with gastrointestinal complaints and ASD as compared to children with similar GI complaints but typical neuro-behavioral development32–34. Furthermore, clinical improvement has been reported anecdotally in children with ASD who develop fever35, receive oral antibiotics36, or ingest probiotics37, all of which are likely to alter the gut microflora. While these initial studies are promising, they suffer from small sample sizes, in part due to the laborious, conventional, culture-dependent techniques used to identify bacterial species

there are a lot of other uses for glass outside of this

so wanton destruction of the earth is fine as long as there are some positive benefits in the short term to Minneapolis?

So I believe it does that at best only imperfectly and further it's neither obvious that compensation should be derived in that fashion nor in my, and many others, opinions is it correct.

this boils down to "why should people be helped when _I_ had to suffer!"

this is not just synthesizing a chemical - this is using an engineered virus to deliver a newly functional gene.

There is a reality here that these therapies are really fucking expensive to produce. If we want them to be cheap or free their discovery needs to be subsidized and funded in a non-profit driven manner

You literally bemoan identity politics. The catholic church certainly does not celebrate all kinds of diversity ;)

the obvious counter example to this is people who meetup and create subcultures - the array of which are vast.
