cttet··on The Myth of a Superhuman AI
The word intelligence is a word from natural language, it is natural for different people to have different interpretation of it.

And this article basically give a redefinition and interpret upon it.

cttet··on Apple's Touch Bar Could Be a Flop
But you have extra USB ports..
cttet··on An Introduction to Probabilistic Graphical Models (2003) [pdf]
Most variational inference are not full-Bayesian as well...
cttet··on Brexit's Tech Brain Drain
No one think of it in another way: they were originally talents in their home country and it is actually the recovery of the "Brain-Drain" of their home country...

cttet··on FizzBuzz in J, Explained
And I really hope the future for math be some lisp-like syntax where no special syntax is required every new concept is introduced.
cttet··on FizzBuzz in J, Explained
I would be reading math-savy papers 3x as fast if they just declare the variables explicitly before equations, instead of definitions scattering all around the paper..
cttet··on Machine Learning Crash Course: Part 2
You are absolute right about most field of applications of ML.

But in some fields like computer vision, we humans fail(at least till now) to make rules better than black box neural networks.

Also, there are another group of ML people deal with rules+data, I quite agree with this article about the two types of ML: http://projecteuclid.org/download/pdf_1/euclid.ss/1009213726...

cttet··on The Most Popular Language for Machine Learning
"Everytime a "what's the best language for Machine Learning/Data Science?" thread pops up,"

there will always be someone saying your statement as well.

cttet··on Steven Strogatz on chaos theory, game theory, and why math isn’t boring
Actually if you dig in the calculation techniques taught in primary school(Like multidigit addition/multiplication/ division), you would find some of them are actually quite clever ideas (O(log n) algorithms), but what almost all school do is to ask the student execute the algorithm like a computer, not how to come up with ideas like those...
cttet··on How to Improve Your Coding Skills
In my view IDEs are much harder to learn... For vim or EMACs, you just need the cheat sheet to start with, but with a IDE, sometimes I have to go to video tutorials in order to figure out a button.
cttet··on Elm – “Designing to infantilize a target audience is how we got Java”
Hitler is certainly not only a footnote.
cttet··on Teaching Your Computer To Play Super Mario Bros
The original DQN was created to do that.
cttet··on Why did Google remove Palestine from maps
USA don't recognize Taiwan, though...
cttet··on When It Comes to China, Google’s Experience Still Says It All
https://archive.org/details/problemofchina00russ Not exactly answers the question, but I quite like Russel's view on this.
cttet··on 1+1 = 0
This is just a demonstration of how math is not a rigid language and consequence of misuse of dynamic typing...

If we define symbol '1' to be integer typed, then there won't be any F_2 related confusion. And 1 + 1 is always 2.

cttet··on China is challenging the idea that censorship thwarts online innovation
"We're not all xenophobic Trump supporters, not even most of us."

But close to half though. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/poll-clinton-t...

(I am not saying they are all xenophobic)

cttet··on Ask HN: Is it difficult for non-Chinese to work in China?
The pollution situation is also different in different parts of China as well. http://aqicn.org/map/#@g/27.2404/110.7692/4z

If you around Shenzhen/Guangzhou area the air quality is quite OK

But Mike Pence though...
cttet··on Maths notation is needlessly complex [video]
I thought it would talk about lack of namespace, implicit overloading of symbols etc...
cttet··on Web Programming Is Getting Unnecessarily Complicated
Me too...
cttet··on History of China's Nine-Dash Line
" If one cares to trace the history of China back to 2500 yrs ago until the modern days" LOL try trace US instead, and try draw a conclusion using that.
cttet··on History of China's Nine-Dash Line
How the maps look like does not matter when you are talking about which country a piece of territory belongs to.

cttet··on Ask HN: Anyone moving their company out of the UK following Brexit?
non-UK EU citizens FTFY
cttet··on Ask HN: Anyone moving their company out of the UK following Brexit?
I read the ghost article but they mentioned many times that the country "Must be outside the EU", which is like the Brexit impact is not enough ...
cttet··on Web Programming Is Getting Unnecessarily Complicated
I like this website to layout an argument nicely. But in the case Web Programming is not well-defined, the argument can just be people doing different things assuming others are doing the same.
cttet··on R Markdown – Dynamic documents, presentations and reports for R
I still feel the REPL-like environment in Jupyter is more suitable for building an idea, while RMarkdown is better for publishing it.
cttet··on Ask HN: Quality of Life
Control myself
cttet··on Elon Is Wrong About Simulations
In the wikipedia page you mentioned it stated: "Under the assumption of finite computational resources, the simulation of the universe would be performed by dividing the continuum space-time into a discrete set of points." How will we know if this assumption is correct? If the beings that run the experiment have higher intelligence, they may successfully hide all the evidence of simulation and we may never find the constraints.

Unless we reduce the simulation hypothesis to "Beings of similar intelligence level as us running similar computer simulations that we do in the late 20th and early 21st century", then it is testable.
