NGL this blog is difficult to read. the final bullet point list is the most important part and should probably be the first thing instead of involving comics etc in a meaningless preamble.

outside of ML, for normies i mean, classifier models are supposed to be general purpose. Like I don't think we say segmentation model to do X. In ML, we know of their constraints so we usually say classifier models trained to do X.

Not complaining that decision models are a better term though.

it just a classifier. I guess we have to thank typesafe for spending VC money on marketing classifiers as decision models instead.

No, because you also do not serve in the army, nor (generally) produce children that will become citizens and thus build the population.

Education and childhood services are pennies to what the country needs in terms of patriotic duty and population building.

Man we're going full 2015 ML, telling normies that confidence scores mean NOTHING to alleviate false negatives/positives.

> Net, I pay more taxes than a citizen with the same income.

No you don't, most foreigners don't pay more taxes overall per lifetime.

Academia is in a time for reckoning.

Actors who already went through the process (or otherwise) gained sufficient reputation or credentials to self-market their own paper can skip journals entirely. That was what OpenAI did. With a sufficiently powerful AI model and correctional pipelines, generating a paper is trivial given some insight.

I think we should be reminded that papers are a channel to distribute papers. Editors are unpaid now, but the economics of a journals are such that the editors are incentivized to curate or distribute papers to schools that pay for the paper. Some perceive quality as a core metric for this. However, in my experience of dealing with computational biology, a paper in so and so journal hardly means a stamp of quality as compared to a paper in some github repo with code to reproduce the paper. This, simply, is broken, because journals and peer reviewers cannot guarantee that data and results in the paper is correct (assuming that it is not maths or theoretical) without reproducing the results in the paper.

None of these are helpful towards students who are already struggling to keep up with the cadence of producing papers.

it's not just "not sound", it is outright wrong.

I wanted to design a game to teach my wife MOBA basics of map control and map-setup so I created this. Blitz go is too fast to think, and normal go squeezes most of the nail-biting fighting near the end.

Players play through a setup phase with extra time to think, before going into a "teamfight" phase where you only have seconds to put down a piece. Have fun, I definitely did.
