New comment by fitzwatermellow in "Ask HN: What programming language to learn for a statistician?"

Dedicated probabilistic modeling environments are also gaining ground and may become standard in the near future.

The holy grail is something like: feed in some data, or parameters and have an algorithm generate the corresponding correct Bayesian inference and posterior distribution. It's very easy for scientists, even with years of knowledge and experience, to implement things incorrectly ;)

Can also recommend The Crown on Netflix, with American actor John Lithgow masterfully interpreting the Old British Bulldog. There's even an entire episode devoted to the affair of Sutherland's portrait commemorating Churchill's 80th birthday, considered one of the art world's great lost masterpieces:

New comment by fitzwatermellow in "DeepMind and Blizzard to release StarCraft II as an AI research environment"

fitzwatermellow — Fri, 04 Nov 2016 20:44:08 +0000

Training data? After all, AlphaGo trained on a database of over 30M expert human moves. I suspect one championship round from Team EnVy is worth billions of iterations of random exploration ;)

Kudos to both Blizzard and DeepMind. Anticipating a lot of fun with this. StarCraft 2 could indeed become the AI pedagogy standard.

Personal fave:

The Responsive Eye (1965). Exploration into "retinal" art. Amazing how it presaged cognitive and vision sciences current obsessions with optical illusions.
