You're a legend, thank you. You're admired all around the world.

HN hug of death. Download appears to be down.

> But, obviously, there is no magic. > That's not entirely true.

Yes, that is entirely true. There is no magic. Even if we don't understand some parts yet. There is no magic.

He certainly tried to become a dictator.

That's is a subset of my statement. Also agreed.

One can only hope that Turkey does not become a religious dictatorship.

These levels mostly refer to liability, not to capability.

EDIT: What I meant is that it is not a reliable indicator for identifying technology leaders.

Very cool. This is clearly where we're heading.

Lawsuit waiting to happen.

HN is awesome, and so are you, OP.

You're awesome!

Sam Harris is the one who comes closest to my world view and has shaped it quite a bit. He is one of the few who is careful with his words and emotions when articulating his arguments.

> I am glad you found meaning in science and facts!

I did not say that. I think I said purpose and meaning need to be grounded in facts / science and should not be derived from belief systems based on "revelation" and other collective delusions.

...and rather than recommending voting for politicians who do not believe in man-made climate change...

As an atheist, I obviously disagree. Purpose and meaning have to be based in truth, scientific truth, if you will. Otherwise, you run the risk of harming someone. Dogmatic belief systems based on revelation are risky at best.

This advice could make someone miserable.

Yeah, that was weird. A bit disappointing.

I don't think LSTMs are state-of-the-art in the domain anymore.

What a UI mess. I am not a terminal person but how the heck is my brain supposed to consume this front page. My eyes went crazy.

N.I.

This is super tricky. I wonder how this plays out in the end.

Seriously, OP should change title to [November 2021]

You seem bitter. There are happy Flexport customers in this thread. Ask them why they are happy. (Not affiliated with Flexport myself)

If people had listened to the Greens, the dependency on Russian gas would have been lower or none at all.

Why does there need to be? HN is for anyone, no?

If you want to measure the quality of a system you need to count both, the hits and the misses.

I have very mixed feelings on this topic. I share your sentiment -- BUT:

Human brains also use anything the human can see, feel, hear for training. And what you produce in terms of creative outcome is a result of your experiences. But you don't owe anyone anything for training your human brain -- even if you use your brain to sell paintings, music etc.

It is far from anti-intellectualism. It is about didactics. And Jeremy is spot on about this.

I think you completely misunderstand his stance.

You don't need the math in the beginning to train a model and get first results. Later, you will need the math and Jeremy clearly knows the math.

He gives a great example: In sports, you don't start with learning about physiology and train individual muscles etc. (I paraphrase), you start playing basketball or baseball or soccer, and understand the overall game. And if you like it, you can then become better and better and get deeper and deeper.

It's not helpful to start with linear algebra if - what motivated you - was the application of ML. We lose people who could have otherwise become experts later.

I deleted an earlier, angrier comment of mine.

Can you explain this last sentence (which I understand to be insulting and without basis): > Howard is great with one problem: he kinda hates math. It might also seem that he ends up promoting anti-intellectualism.
