My machine learning education has progressed to the point where I lose sleep tossing around a “brilliant” idea, only to find the next day that it doesn’t actually work. This is great! I talked about this a few years ago: https://t.co/OtyBlXrkkN
@JoakimRi It was an internal Facebook talk. Maybe @boztank could clear it for public release... I found “antifragile” to be a useful framework, and I am planning on re-reading all of @nntaleb ‘s work now through the lens of artificial intelligence.
@ID_AA_Carmack ...or to find out someone else already has tried that (which in those occasions gives me so much comfort, as a sort of "well, at least I'm not stupid, someone smarter than me has already tried to do that!").
@ID_AA_Carmack I have to say, I love that thrill of going for a long walk and trying to piece ML ideas together. It's such a deep a rich concept space. It feels like discovering the operating system of reality, in a certain way, like discovering the atom and the electron for the first time.
@ID_AA_Carmack Is it the case that this framework is antifragile only at a low granularity due to the fast feedback loop? I can imagine having ideas for startups that would take much longer to test and eat away brain cycles until they can be tested.
