Meniteos4··on FiatMarketCap
I'm surprised that CNY is ranked higher than USD. How do you measure these metrics? Also, taken aback that USD is almost half of CNY's market cap.
Meniteos4··on The Norway Problem
They decided to go against the YAML standard and therefore are no longer a YAML parser. The actual answer to this problem would have been to use a better storage format. Perhaps JSON5? or TOML?
Meniteos4··on If you care about privacy, it’s time to try a new web browser
It's ironic that in the 90s, people were afraid IE dominance would destroy the internet. Now with Microsoft adopting chrome means we are faced with google destroying the internet. Microsoft screwed the pooch abandoning its browser and adopting chrome/chromium.
Meniteos4··on Why machine learning struggles with causality
>For instance, convolutional neural networks trained on millions of images can fail when they see objects under new lighting conditions or from slightly different angles or against new backgrounds.

The big picture is humans use a multi-task network for depth, segmentation (and background removal), lighting source estimation (and shadow removal), material extraction, SLAM (and geometry reconstruction), optical flow, etc. Papers and their networks only look at a small part of what humans do; we are not just using a single "neural network."
