I agree it's on the journalist -- just wondering which statement is most suspected to be untrue.
Which part is false?
I’d say that’s a feature but what I’m talking about is real in-use projects
What’s your counterexample?
Another point I’d add: isn’t it telling that we haven’t come up with use cases for crypto that aren’t in some way speculation in the last decade plus?
This is literally addressed in the second paragraph: In electromagnetism and most other fields of physics, imaginary numbers are merely a mathematical convenience. All the relevant phenomena can still be described using…
Perhaps the outcome was better for Britain in the end, but I object to glorifying Soros on the grounds that his intentions were clearly to take money out of the system, and breaking the pound with a coordinated attack…
“If it hadn’t been exploited by this person, someone else would have” I’ve only ever heard this line of reasoning used to justify something unethical. And in the case of software, we don’t admire the black-hat hackers…
I think you’re right in a way, but the problem is multifaceted. If true, the idea that 1-1 tutoring pushes an average student two standard deviations above the mean where nothing else does today is compelling evidence…
I do think so. I think wealth disparity has enabled intellectual folks to, very quickly, propel themselves into the upper class, by essentially being part of the money machine that keeps rich people rich (hedge funds,…
My point is, it doesn't matter whether you or I consider it a "bad definition". To say that these things are not pyramid schemes "in any way" is unnecessarily pedantic and not useful considering the context (the…
Or really, any stimulants.
It comes from the office of the NYS attorney general. https://ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/pyramid-schemes Please send them an email elucidating the finer points of what scheme is what.
‘A pyramid scheme is a fraudulent system of making money based on recruiting an ever-increasing number of "investors." The initial promoters recruit investors, who in turn recruit more investors, and so on. The scheme…
Okay, it may not be a pyramid scheme in the exact technical sense, but combined with the other items on the list, "get-rich-quick", etc., I think pump-and-dumping shitcoins counts, right?
Because there is money to be had, and people like money.
Wait, isn't that exactly a pyramid scheme?
Thank you — that is definitely encouraging. It doesn’t sound like a killer app yet but it certainly seems to establish deep learning’s place at least as part of a modern software stack.
I think this is unfair. Tens (hundreds?) of billions of dollars have gone into deep learning and, as I understand it, most effort consists of scaling up this golden goose and presenting its "new" successes in the best…
Can you provide more context on how MIT spent most of its integrity and soul to build its brand? I went to MIT over a decade ago and I always appreciated how honest, hardworking, and genuinely curious the student body…
