Given all the events happening in society regarding sexual assault, I think I need to point out something.
These men who abuse their positions are repugnant creatures.They are worthless animals incapable of controlling their instincts. Grown ass men, who haven't yet learned to control their mind. Somehow they achieved success without any significant strengthening of their mind. Pathetic.
But I don't think this portrayal of all women as innocent angels who these evil men are out to abuse isn't right. There are pathetic men, just as there are pathetic women. It might not be the case here, but women use these powerful men, give them sexual favors, so that they can accumulate power for themselves.
In the case of Weinstein, so many famous actress, kept quiet and let him do what he wanted, simply for the pursuit of fame, money etc, and now when it became safe to accuse him, after they acquired their fame, they did.
Of-course, these creeps are repugnant, but the women who keep quiet, use them and enable their behavior are pretty immoral too.
So kudos to this women for speaking out.
Some posters where saying, that any scientific progress he makes should be ignored, that is pretty stupid. I think the women should name him, so that their will be atleast a social cost for him, if not legal.
Yeah, on the ImageNet data set, where all the images are pretty unclear, low res and cropped weirdly leaving out context, deep learning "beats" human vision system.
Human brain beats everything for now. It is a much more generic system.
I don't know enough about the specific fields you talked about to comment.
Deep learning is an incredibly powerful tool, but we should differentiate between its actual merit and the huge hype around it, mostly done for PR and misleading investors/financial analyst.
I still think there is too much hype around AI with all the doomsday prediction. Yeah, data processing will get automated away, but most jobs that require thinking within an ill defined framework will be fine for at least the next 20 years. The human brain is vastly superior to any machine learning algorithm we currently have.
Are you sure that your self reported data is right ? I tried for the past 3 years to focus just on my work, I cut down fun, relationships, friendships completely to focus on my work alone.
And I have almost nothing much to show for it.
Looking back on those 3 years, I did some work for the first year, but later on I was just depressed and even though I was "working" all the time, it was not intense work. I was mostly feeling sad / bitter and that affected my productivity.
I think a balance is important. It makes logical sense to cut down on fun and emotions to get more work done, but the human brain needs social relationships and fun to produce peak output. At least that is how my brain works
May be being a bit more lazy will help you be more creative and make the stars line up better for you. I am not being snarky here, be a bit more lazy, the brain needs fun and emotions.
