What? I was around back then. Chrome/Chromium was awesome because we finally had something significantly better than IE.

Looking at the top comment about Google right now. Big difference between "their products/processes suck" vs. "these people and their companies and government are an insidious evil…

I always wonder who these weirdos are that look at commenters' past comments to try and deduce some fact and "win" their argument. More common on Reddit, but still exists here. Bas…

AI doesn't have a business function...?

I never really understood this sentiment. Some foreign company / government cannot do anything to me. My own government, on the other hand...

There is clearly an anti-China bias here. Show me comments demonstrating the same level of distrust against Google for open-sourcing projects like Tensorflow, Kubernetes, Flutter, …

How legit is this? In my experience, every time I've updated iOS due to some urgent "security issue", the result was my phone just got a whole lot slower.

I didn't realize these archive links were still working. Ever since the FBI order in November, these links have just been hanging for me. https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ had b…

I'm surprised no one else has commented that a few of the conceptual comments in this article are a bit odd or just wrong. > The final accuracy is 90% because 1 of the 10 observati…

On the contrary, I'm confused about why you're confused. This is a well-known and documented phenomenon - the paradox of choice. I've been working in machine learning and AI for ne…

I don't pay money for it?

Not just lately. See /r/politics. Sometime in the last 5-7 years /r/science or /r/technology (or both, I forget because I stopped reading) basically became the science/tech version…

This is interesting because it shows us how a programmer thinks of a problem vs. how a psychologist or neuroscientist would think of this problem and highlights the lack of "human-…

I think you missed the point of that comment. I was responding to the comment saying "Parameter estimation is ML now?" Neural networks are trained commonly using maximum likelihood…

I haven't installed this yet, but does it require camera access? i.e. does it "transform" your own image to the target image while maintaining facial expression, pose, etc.? Based …

Great course. I highly recommended anyone interested in this topic to check it out on the MIT website, taught by the same authors. They are great lecturers.

Neural networks are not ML now?

You're using the word to define the concept rather than the concept to define the word. Wrong order. See: "Program".

After spending over a decade in both statistics and machine learning I'd say the only reason there isn't a "broad consensus" is because statisticians like to gate-keep, whether tha…

Is anyone having trouble downloading their data? Some data, such as "Raw Data", "Imputed Genotype Data R6", and "Phased Genotype Data" need to be requested, but I haven't heard bac…

> Don't even worry about dating / the apps. Quite frankly this is the worst advice. As other commenters have noted if you tend to enjoy solo activities or activities that don't nat…

What I meant was, the phrase "inner workings of the processing" doesn't really mean anything at all. i.e. it doesn't convey any useful information about what you're trying to say. …

I think "low-level" is relative to what's being discussed. Low-level for LLMs would have to do with how transformer layers are implemented (self-attention layer, layer norms, etc.)…

I'm not a fan of these "gotchas" because they don't test for what we really care about. Like counting the number of R's in strawberry, many of these are character-counting or chara…

As a website owner and VPN user I see both sides of this. On one hand, I get the annoying "Verify" box every time I use ChatGPT (and now due its popularity, DeepSeek as well). On t…
