if there's a massive potato casserole bubble

which Hinton had already fucking won

of course people like us will have the free software alternative that argues vim vs emacs and that gurls can't play videogames, we should be able to code those in a few lines of bash, it'll be just like lobste.rs

now on Pivot, with more of Careyaya's wild shit

efficient move, getting the Nobel disease in before the Nobel itself

yeah, this sounds like a concession to the industry

I'm referring specifically to this where they could only put in a shaky bodge.

When you don't know an example, consider looking it up and not just waffling anyway.

lol holy shit actual tweet

a friend says:

effectively they made machine learning look like an Ising model, and you honestly have no idea how much theoretical physicists fucking love it when things turn out to be the Ising model

does that match your experience? if so i'll quote that

yeah, takes from physicists i know range from "wtf" to "it's plaaausible with a streeetch"

looking through the committee, I see Ulf Danielsson is notable on AI mostly for being skeptical (he writes pop sci books so people ask him about all manner of shit)

I do not, but apparently it is so

i wouldn't want to sound like I'm running down Hinton's work on neural networks, it's the foundational tool of much of what's called "AI", certainly of ML

but uh, it's comp sci which is applied mathematics

how does this rate a physics Nobel??
