This is just an experiment to see how long it takes for a random comment on a submission currently ranking 533 will take if it contains the word "chinese bioweapon". Feel free to i…

90 percent of the restaurant is eating, but just 20 percent of those are still hungry :). They can stop eating and return next week when they are starving. For me it is proof enoug…

Deficiencies disparately impact minorities and poor people. And when I was a student even I could not afford that Bell pepper. 1 in 5 or 1 in 10 are real people. If you take the pr…

We can use 90% of our brains at the same time, but the medical term for that is a seizure and it seems to involve a lot of involuntary movements.

Agreed. Also, nobody is, or should be, using deep neural networks, for legislation and law enforcement. Explainability should be a core design decision when making an algorithm, an…

Move away from one-size-fits all, but have the UX adapt to user behavior. Personalized UX is pretty close to perfect.

No, there is a 2009 study which compares N95 mask efficiency with surgical masks, because they predict that during a pandemic N95 masks will be in shorter supply. (1) They don't fi…

Deep learning is mostly focused on image recognition, and classification on tabular data is way more common for smaller businesses. Your activity online triggers 10s of AI models f…
