No, most people don't have access to casinos. Likely they would spend it on other luxury goods like bar visits, clothes they don't need or more games. Its just a way for games to e…

Coding is the hard part if you are bad at coding but good at maths and algorithms. Writing accurate code for solving a hard problem in under 30 minutes requires you to be really go…

Yes, but I'd argue that the path you took was a very suboptimal path to reach the same understanding since you almost surely didn't reach it. So now you'd have to redo almost every…

They have mapped out the synapse structure, there is no evidence that synapse structure is enough to actually run the brain. If you can run that brain and show it is an accurate re…

They already have paid channel membership and member only videos.

Linus Torvalds is evidence that a good PM/IT manager is worth a lot. There aren't a lot of people that can make or lead a team to make world class products, but the number of marke…

The discussion is about issues in the bay area. They contribute a huge amount to the tax base there, so saying they don't pay taxes isn't fruitful to this discussion. If those taxe…

It is across the entire world, it wouldn't be used in the bay area. They already pay taxes properly for all the workers and buildings they have in the bay area, if that isn't enoug…

Numbers implies you can do mathematical operations on them that makes sense. So how would you quantify "good" or "bad"? You can't unless you also answer what "good" + "bad" should …

They never promised that the output would be error free, having output with errors is still useful for many applications. And the issues you are talking about got fixed as soon as …

Human thinking includes building new models/filters for understanding the world, not just applying old ones. And that isn't used for learning, we do it all the time when solving an…

They aren't very similar errors, ML solutions are equally accurate as humans in at a glance performance but longer and humans clearly wins. I'd say that the system is similar to hu…
