Could this RNN model perhaps be used to filter click bait headlines from HN automatically? Perhaps one could perform some sort of backward beam search to figure out how likely a particular headline would've been produced by it. If ther

Maybe I’m mistaken, but it seems to me that Reddit would be much better off as a dontation-based non-profit. It seems ethical that nobody should make money off of user-generated content except the users are compensated for their time (which

What do you mean exactly? I mean that the status symbol aspect of a cargo cult is a crucial part of its self-reinforcement mechanism.

I’m not sure what this site is supposed to be for: Is it (a) to generate more ad revenue for reddit to be finally self-sustaining or (b) an attempt to come up to the expectations of Reddit's VC shareholders (i.e. a separate startup to

I think a cargo cult also has something to do with signaling, sort of like a status symbol ("They can't really be Y if they are not X!" -> "Look at us how X we are!"). It's a self-reinforcing meme that is us

Then lets steelman this point of critique: Why doesn't Apple keep their OSes in beta for a couple of months more to release something that is really stable? Is the sample size of beta testers really too small? I doubt 6 months or so la

I think the same applies to TeX distributions. It awfully slow for some reason, perhaps it double checks each file to avoid bit errors in system critical files?

I'm not sure whether evaporative cooling [1] could be a result of that, i.e. that if the sane quit, you are left with the insane. If that's the case, such a campaign would make things worse. [1]: http://lesswrong.com&#x

Helvetica Neue is not optimal either, especially due to the light weight used in iOS 7-8, but it I find it still acceptable. For my taste San Francisco looks a bit too blocky due to the flattened curves along the vertical axis. It's no

Your grand-parent comment was about refuting the conjecture that it's due to helicopter parenting or a weakness of the students; then your parent comment was written as a supporting anecdote, and finally your comment claimed that the a

I agree with that. San Francisco seems optimal for button captions, app names and other more unique, short pieces of texts, but seems sub-optimal for running text.

I think a similar development can also be seen in countries without any tuition fees, but my sample size could be too small to say that with certainty.

You've got no clue what you are talking about, do you? The thing is that many mega projects fail because of ridiculous reasons; mostly because high ranking people make dicisions outside the range of their expertise. Startup projects ha

Some see it differently: http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen/optimalscientist.html But it would still be anarchic (without the laws of human psychology and social interactions at least). However, it would be an algorithm,

And that's the fundamental flaw of human nature that prevents collaboration at a large scale: Everything needs a story, a hero and a name. That that slows decision processes down almost to stagnation, and it often results in decisions
