cnr.it is a domain which belongs to the Italian Research Council, and that subdomain seems to be a blog by the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems. These are not scammer…

If you can, try removing the source of stress. Depending on your situation, this may involve changing work environment. I've been there, I was at a point in which I would either bu…

Thanks for taking the time to write this - it really gave me new ways of thinking about it :)

Like most of us here, I've absolutely loved programming since I was a kid. And I did programming. A lot. A couple of years ago I joined a PhD program in AI. I liked the science, bu…

I have the same dilemma. I think I'll start fresh while keeping a copy of my old disk around to copy stuff whenever I realize I need it.

I find it awesome that we all independently had the idea to perform this stupid trick. Fun in simplicity

Exactly the same here! What a memory. In my case, my fellow students started sending broadcast messages which included a lot more profanity. They reached the computer of the school…

More like, among all things industrial engineers feel, and among all things Anakin Skywalker feels, not liking sand is in common

Mostly opinions without data, as usual. Why can't we as a community switch to a more serious scientific/engineeristic approach, at least in those areas where it is easy to do so? W…

I can't tell if this is a multiple joke or not

> “Such tools are not capable of true independent creativity. In order for AI tools to create new work, prior creative work must be used as training data” Isn't this exactly how hu…

I guess you are well aware of the concept of lucid dreaming?

I can visualize to a limited extent, i.e. I can see anything I want but images are always very "unstable". I'm much better with music: I can listen to music in my head very clearly…

Introducing linear regression with gradient descent can also be really confusing for a newcomer. Gradient descent solves a problem (nonlinear optimization) which does not exist her…

This is great for ML Engineering. Does anyone know a similar document for ML Research?

THIS. And it always surprises me when this association comes not only from outsiders, but from CS graduates too. This really shows a worrying lack of communication about the object…

Regardless of my opinion on the topic, which I don't have: why must software engineering be mainly opinion-based? Why can't we have objective facts, or at least only talk about obj…

I guess the stuff you're talking about totally falls under my "only block ads on those websites which clearly have no consideration for usability [...] or for privacy" I didn't say…

Then do not use those websites, if their morality doesn't suit you. In your words, using a service without paying for it is also theft.

> What's the best setup these days for ad-blocking + privacy/tracker-blocking that doesn't break the web? If one doesn't want to break the web, they shouldn't block ads since most …

While I fully agree with you, being Turing complete has nothing to do with it. I think the article is slightly wrong too on this point. Turing completeness is a property about the …
