So far I have taken one introductory class on AI in general, but it did not cover machine learning. I took one class on machine learning, but I only grasped the basics of several algorithms from the class. These classes, and the textbook I&

I am an undergrad trying to break into AI and machine learning research. Hopefully this will be useful. Does anyone know any other resources that will be helpful? So far I've just been reading AI: A Modern Approach, by Russel and Norvi

The bulk of academic work is chasing grants, not "curiosity driven research". If universities want professors not to leave in droves to tech companies that will consistently give them funding and cut away the bullshit that eats up

Free speech in America isn't just valued as a legal right before the government, but as a general principle. Most people think that free speech in most situations (not just before the government, and with a few restrictions) benefit ev

San Francisco is perhaps the most materialistic community on earth, full of people who don't care how bad things are for others if they themselves made it (and you can too!), full of people who want rights for gay people but don't

The big "Oh shit" moment will be when AI and robots can perform any task a human can perform better and/or cheaper than a human can, which would make it fiscally unwise to pay a human for any kind of labor. Even if humans cou

No. If I see a kid in a car, I don't know how long he or she has been in there. Temperature in closed cars rises dramatically and unpredictably, in ways that affect children and infants more quickly than adults (in some cases, it might

Everyone knows that the United States of America, like almost every nation and people on earth, has a violent past filled with ethnic cleansing, wars, and genocide. Are you suggesting that inherited citizenship should be done away with?

If you crank up the frequency of mentioning women, you are still pushing a woman-specific agenda and tacitly admitting that women still need your help to succeed.

We don't merely make predictions based on patterns we currently observe. We also make predictions and reason about the past based on reason, causality, and other theories we can demonstrate to be true.

by bvc35 8y ago
You see? You are still able to make theories based on what you know and causality, and we can debate about which theories are most likely to be true. Not directly observing something is the beginning of theorizing. We don't just give u

You still have to excavate it just in case you do find something unique or historically significant.

You can develop on the property, but you should also have to pay for archaeologists to excavate the site and identify artifacts of historical value. History is too full of examples of foolish cultures of the past destroying historical artif
