Regardless of if this is common its getting popular because its objectively hilarious and we can all see it being possible.

Love it when someone who makes complex, helpful software is rewarded for their efforts. More stories like this!

So what are the other things? You said he glossed over them and didn't mention a single one.

This is wildly and seemingly unnecessarily chaotic and I am at a loss for its purpose. Probably just my own ignorance/laziness. But it does feel like its _trying_ to be hard to understand/navigate and overly random/weird. My curiosity got the best of me but I left feeling I just wasted 10 minutes.

EDIT: website is just an inside joke and not helpful. OS is real but also not helpful. https://www.reddit.com/r/plan9/comments/1mr6cyr/comment/n8xp...

Is there a place I can read about taking unique creative approaches to original topics/games/concepts like this? "Thinking Different with Basics". I like this so much but its because it gets at an essence of creativity applied to the obvious I don't know how to learn or search for:(

Anybody who has meaningfully engaged with short-form dynamically adapted video content and read a book can EASILY tell the difference. It is Morphine vs Fentanyl

Do you think its true both then and now, or rather that people are always seeing the past grass as more green?

You say in your comment: "Anybody with a computer science education ... should be able to tackle this one" which is directly opposed to what they advertise: "You don't need a computer science background to participate"

So incredibly niche and specific but also theoretically viewable/verifiable. This is incredible.

"CNNs and Transformers are both really simple and intuitive" and labeling a bunch of images you downloaded is not simple and intuitive? It was a team effort and I would hardly call a single dataset what drove modern ML. Most of currently deployed modern ML wasn't trained on that dataset and didn't come from models trained on it.

100% agree but not just military. Self-driving vehicles will become the norm, robots to mow the lawn, clean the house, eventually humanoids that can interact like LLMs and be functional robots that help out around the house.

Curating a dataset is vastly different than introducing a new architectural approach. ImageNet is a database. Its not like inventing the convolutions for CNNs or the LSTM or a Transformer.

This is super cool and I want to read up more on this as I think you are right insofar as it is the basis for reasoning. However it does seem more complex than just that. So how do we go from coordinate system transformations to abstract reasoning with symbolic representations?

Poorly designed studies, materials proposed without insight into ramifications and manufacturing, and P-Hacking has ruined the publics trust in science. I blatantly just ignore any headline like this now. Can't trust science anymore.... sad. How many new "cancer cures" have been posted to Reddit and HN over the last decade that never came to fruition.

Not to say doing the science and studying to find new approaches is not beneficial. I just think we need to reconsider how we communicate new research. Its like how CEOs hype up AI products at this point. "This will change everything ..... potentially maybe in twenty years (omitted)"
