The market economy in fact solves many problems of 'helping other people' that we have just become so used to that we don't appreciate its complexity.
The fact that food is produced in abundance and is distributed in time to population centres for convenient consumption is a marvel of the modern world. And we're only getting better at it over time.
I think this analysis is completely spot on. Personally, I have had the same thoughts for about a year and I have just switched from a 'pure' ML/DS' to exactly the hybrid engineering style role you describe.
People placed a lot more 'art' into their speech than people nowadays. You hear it in the old English of England as well with the particularity of enunciation. Speech was the main interface of communication compared to today's more logocentric and multimedia audio visual world. In our age we appear to place that art into crafting text messages (nuances of capitalisation, punctuation, abbreviations, emojis etc.).
>Rewriting history is the power of China's censorship system and media control. It's a pretty scary thing actually.
Circling back to space, this is a fundamental reason why China will struggle to make advances in space once the easy gains have been achieved. Creativity and innovation require a free, liberal and open society to thrive.
These are the priciples which have propelled America's advances in science as they are principles which attract the brightest from around the world.
Very few of the brightest in the world would be willing to sacrifice that freedom to work in China.
We are facing record unemployment so people are having this happen to them across the board. The people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic but are struggling to find work because of the abundance of H-1B holders also "haven't done anything wrong".
The question now is do we continue that flow of labour while jobs are scarce, or stem that flow while we get back on our feet again? On this, the Trump administration appears to have made a tough, but rational choice.
The market always prevails over the state. Private schools can only charge as much as the demonstrated quality of their product while the state as the default option is not accountable to anyone because those who can afford better can escape them.
If you've been following the field at all (i.e. who the paper is aimed at), the sentence is obvious and non-controversial. There have been many tasks where deep learning has even exceeded human performance (a stronger claim than that sentence).
>Even the most state of the art computer vision/object classification algorithms still don’t generalize to weird input, like familiar objects presented at odd angles.
"some x are not y" does not invalidate "many x are y"
The fact that food is produced in abundance and is distributed in time to population centres for convenient consumption is a marvel of the modern world. And we're only getting better at it over time.
That's helping people.
