Thanks for the response! And absolutely a fair point about reading the article. I wasn't really trying to look for ways that the vaccines do damage, given that the risks of covid s…

Yeah, for context I'm fully vaccinated and not trying to create distrust of the mRNA vaccines. Just curious because that seems like a pretty bad thing. It makes sense that this wou…

I didn't read the article, but my very basic understanding of mRNA vaccines is that they cause your own cells to produce the spike protein so that your immune system can learn to a…

What plotting library were you using? The "first plot of the day" is a bit slow for me, but certainly it doesn't take minutes. I just opened a fresh repl and "using PyPlot" took a …

I haven't read the article, but there have been a number of games that I found personally helpful. It's not that they're helpful because they provide an escape from real life and i…

I'm a little confused by this. If the chromecast didn't know my wifi password, how could it connect to google to receive any information / configuration? Mostly commenting because …

Just guessing, but it could be that they are claiming that 200 million unique videos are recommended on a given day, with the number of unique videos being a proxy for how diverse …

I don't know if I'd say it's irrelevant if it's not used by the current industry. It's always helpful to understand what is possible and how to achieve it. And beyond actual applic…

I don't actually know of anything like this, though I think it should probably exist somewhere. If anyone else knows, I'd be interested to see it too!

That's a really interesting point - it does seem like most people immediately jump to skynet or our robot overlords whenever the topic of AI comes up. I don't have any really solid…

I whole-heartedly agree. This is one of the reasons I think that education about AI and ML is important (and, on the flip side, I also think that it wouldn't hurt to educate AI and…

I agree with the sentiment that the discussion about AI and Machine Learning should not be entirely driven by industry. At the same time, this article seems to be a bit down on AI …

Why would it? Eigen-faces tend to not even look like faces (which makes sense, given that the goal is to represent a collection of real faces as linear combinations of the orthogon…

I think it depends on what you mean. I don't think that just the number of bytes of data should be used to measure the size of your dataset. For example, if I have 1TB of all 1's, …

What's unreasonable and offensive here is baselessly claiming that an institution is arresting its students and alumni to keep them quiet.

No offense, but I don't believe you. Do you have some evidence?

I feel like you must be leaving part of the story out - you don't get arrested for complaining...
