   I agree, the taxpayers were pretty stupid for taking on the risk that kids wont be able to pay on their student loans. Too bad for the taxpayer!

   Also, deep net problems are different than traditional CS because we can mathematically define when say a list of numbers is sorted but not when "this image looks photorealistic". Effectively, deep nets are good at tricking human

   Thats great, but certain populations are being demonstrably soft-genocided in that their birth rates are below replacement level, and internet porn is a leading cause.

   Do Puritans have views on modern psychological warfare tactics that I am unaware of?

   This is good. Porn is one of the most powerful weapons in the psychological warfare armory. It interrupts the risk-reward cycle of the human brain, thus disrupting the functioning of society generally. For example, Israel broadcast porn on

   True, but it's not maths' fault Google and OSs dont support copy/paste for notation. Also, if you have to google e.g. the expectation operator you probably shouldnt be reading research papers in theoretical machine learning.

   Code will be hard to follow outside of the particular language's community. There are efforts to standardize pseudo-code, but then you're basically back to math notation.

    The first author on this paper does have a great intro book on precisely this area where the notation ramps up more slowly.

    How does "disparities of the past" account for modern-day disparities between e.g. Latinos and Indians? Both relatively recent to the US in large numbers; Indians seem much more represented in tech than Latinos. The proposition th

    Because you're not the person AA hurts. AA doesnt hurt top 1% people, it hurts say top 10% people who are in the wrong ethnic group and lose out to people in the correct ethnic group. Just ask a lower class Asian person with top 10% MC

    The internet is a medium of communication like air and should not be subject to advertiser brand management. Advertising really shouldnt even be the primary method of financing; it should all be paid for with some sort of tax.

    Yes it does. Does Amazon remove "the earth is flat" books? Anything is up for discussion. Does Amazon remove "humans should be able to have sex with animals" books? I'm sure theres at least a few. Thats the principl

    I think instead of these corps virtue signalling they should look at it this way: a person might be watching jihadist content and descending to a bad place, but then they see your sweet ass Mercedes ad and are like "fuck this, I eschew

    "Stereotypes" come from patterns in empirical reality. They are not created and administered by some Evil White Male committee as you seem to think. Women are in no way discriminated against in tech, nor have they ever been. Passi

    I really dont understand a society forcing 18 year olds to sit in classrooms for 4 years at 6 figure cost for a 50/50 shot at a 5 figure job. Theres gotta be a better system.

    Yes, implicit public subsidization of medical schools, which the taxpayer signed up for 100%.

    How is taking money for a degree irresponsible? The only party irresponsible is the lender. I hope the taxpayer loses 60 gajillion dollars on student loans since they are simply exploiting young people.

    Student debt is not real anymore than indebting newborns for their $30k birth costs at 6.8% interest rate would be real.

    So (assuming males are more costly to insure) either (a) females pay more than they should and are effectively subsidizing males or (b) males pay less than they should and the insurance companies will go broke..

    I dont think most ML algos are as black box as you think, and if there were such an algo that regularly had a problem with finding "irrelevant correlations" then it wouldnt be a very good ML algo and people wouldn't use it.
